Jiang Yu Cheng.

Happy new year.

Happy new year.

What do you want this time, man?

Why do you keep bugging me today?

[Come out and eat with me.]

[Hi, Magic City]

Is this a place to eat?

Don't you think it's
too early to be in a bar?

I'm feeling down, so I'm having
wine for dinner, any problem with that?

What's the matter?

Chu Li didn't make you dinner tonight?

She went home early for Chinese New Year.

No wonder.

I was just wondering why you have
been clinging to me like Er Gou today.

Speaking of which,

tomorrow is New Year's Eve.

Remember

to leave in the morning.

I got it.

You are as nagging as my mum.

Why do you want to go home this year?

There is no one in the house.

Might as well just go home

and listen to my old man nagging.

You've never been so lonely on your own

on Chinese New Year in the past, have you?

You asked too many questions.

It's so cold out here,
why are we coming out?

I am wearing light clothing only.

Let the air cool your head.

So you can stop asking questions
that you shouldn't ask.

I actually have question for you.

If...

If the female lead in my book

was already in love with someone,

yet she kissed the male lead,
what was on her mind?

Already in love with someone?

Don't tell me you still think

Chu Li likes Mr Fox.

I am talking about the
leading characters in my book.

It's been long enough.

If I still haven't figured out that

Mr Fox was just her excuse to reject me,

then I'd have wasted 30 years of
my life learning nothing.

What do you mean?

Did she often take the initiative
to send Mr Fox message?

Did she share everything
in her life with him?

Not really.

Because we don't usually talk much.

But she replied to Mr Fox's messages,

and not mine.

Do you really not know the reason?

Put together the touching love story

you told me at breakfast

with my understanding of
your emotional intelligence,

there is a reason for you

being single until now.

Hey,

we are having a friendly
conversation here,

what's with your personal attack?

You've only had a girlfriend,
Gu Bai Zhi in 30 years of your life.

How are you better than me?

What's the matter?

What happened between you and Monstress?

Nothing.

Jiang Yu Cheng,

I have a question for you.

Go on.

When you said you liked Chu Li,

did you really like her,

or did you like that

she reminded you of
the way Gu Bai Zhi once was?

Their personalities,

their looks, their ways of doing things

are completely different, okay?

That's true.

Chu Li is so much better than her.

It's just that sometimes,

they show the same spirit that

keeps them moving forward

until they get what they want.

My daughter is home!

Stop shouting.

Are you afraid that
our neighbours don't know

your unfilial daughter is back?

You gave me a fright.

I thought you and
your mum started arguing again.

I came back as soon as
I was done with my work.

You were crying wolf, you know?

No.

I thought about it that

I am now a year older than I was

when I ran away from home,

I have to be more sensible than her,

so I resist my impulse.

By the way, I brought you guys

a wellness gift package.

A gift package.

Check out this shampoo,

it can improve the blood circulation
to the scalp

and prevent hair loss.

It smells nice too.

It can prevent hair loss too?

And this one.

It's good for your health
to eat more goji berries.

And use these health
foot patches at night.

Right, goji berry tea is good.

Dinner is ready.

Let's eat, let's eat.

Do I have to invite you?

Come on, come on.

I say,

Mum,

did you know that I made a book?

No.

I don't have time to read book.

I am very busy.

How do you explain
this receipt for the purchase of

50 Book of Luo He God?

You are the only one in our family
who has the patience to keep receipts.

A friend asked me to buy it for her.

What?

You actually made this book?

My soup is ready.

Your mother won't let me tell you.

She already knew you made the book.

She read that book until
two o'clock in the morning,

and she finished it.

We are really happy for you.

Keep it up.

Hot soup coming through.

Here.

Even the food can't shut you up.

I will shut up.

And you.

I say

if Grandpa knows how well you are doing,

he will be really happy.

Come, it's been a long time

since our family ate together.

Here.

Have some of this silkie chicken.

Nourish your body.

Come on.

I made it for myself.

I didn't say it's for her.

It's for both of you.

-Come on, have some of it.
-Serve her some.

How can I be so sober
despite I have been drinking?

Sometimes, being a good drinker

isn't a good thing indeed.

Unlike someone.

Er Gou,

what do you think Chu Li is doing now?

How could she be so cruel?

She doesn't reply to my message.

I've set you up for a date
on the first day of New Year.

You are going on a blind date

with the boy introduced by Mrs Lee.

Blind date?

I am still young.

You call yourself young?

Your mum said

you're all alone in Shanghai
with no one to look after you.

You don't even have a boyfriend.

Your mum is worried about you.

I can look after myself.

You need money to look after yourself

Given the little amount of your salary,

how can you look after yourself?

I have looked into him.

This boy

works for a finance company in Shanghai.

He's an eligible bachelor.

Meet him.

No, I am not going.

Are you going against me

on everything now?

If you don't want to go on the blind date,

that's fine,

tell me then,

do you have a boyfriend?

No.

Listen to her.

Fine.

I will take another step back.

Did you meet any boy you like?

Who is this?

[Saviour]

Why is he calling on New Year's Eve?
Hang up.

No one. It's just a blind date,

I'll go.

Did she hang up on...

How to apologize to your girlfriend?

First, throw a glass on the floor

and see how she reacts.

If she doesn't react at all,

then you're in big trouble, my friend.

She is really mad at you.

Now, get down on your knees

on the broken glass.

What the heck is this?

How is it that nine out of ten tips here

are teaching the ways to
get down on your knees?

This is more like the 99 tips

to get down on your knees.

Don't say anything,

hold her in your arms

and kiss her.

This one feels like a solid idea.

Unfortunately, we are
not in the same space now.

Don't use any trick,

just give her a heartfelt
and sincere apology.

I am sorry.

Mum, I am home!

You are home, son.

Your favourite bun is almost ready.

Eat some apples first.

Never mind, I am going
upstairs to take a nap.

What kind of son doesn't come home

for Chinese New Year for a few years?

And you are going to sleep
after you finally came home?

If you don't want to come home,

don't.

Ignore your dad.

Look at your dark eye circles,

did you not rest well?

Go upstairs and take a nap.

Call me when dinner's ready then, Mum.

Okay.

Don't you know why he didn't come home

for Chinese New Year?

I am warning you.

It's New Year's Eve.

I don't want to see you two fighting.

If you fight on New Year's Eve,

you are going to fight
every day after this.

Who cares to fight with him?

Here, here.

Look at this, our daughter

knows how to take care of us.

She has been helping us out all day.

If she really is sensible,

she should come back early
and work in her hometown.

That's sensible.

It's New Year's Eve.

Here.

Let's raise our glasses, come on.

In the new year,

I wish you all the best.

May all your wishes come true.

Come back early and work in your hometown.

Okay, drink up, drink up.

It's so spicy.

Try some of this.

Tell me if it's crispy.

How is it?

Very nice.

It's not overfried.

Not bad for a first time.

That's right.

Son,

have some more of this.

Thanks, Mum.

Shanghai doesn't have this, does it?

When you are eating,

don't play with your phone.

Your mother has worked hard
all afternoon to make these.

And yet

you've slept until now.

And you are still playing
with your phone during dinner.

Mum,

it's really good, you are a good cook.

Have more of it if it's good.

Your father knew you
were coming back this year,

so he didn't call any of your relatives.

He just wanted us

to have a nice family dinner.

Why are you telling
him these useless stuff?

Don't mind his attitude,

he has been looking forward to
having you home for New Year's Eve.

He asked me to cook
all these dishes for you.

Our son gave it to you, take it.

This is what he is supposed to do.

♫ A star must have fallen from the sky ♫

Look, look!

♫ I knew my mind in a sea of people ♫

Who is this?

♫ I forgot how to fly as I want to approach ♫

Grab it, grab it.

Your uncle is giving out red packets.

Grab it.

♫ It's a heart-throbbing off-season ♫

[I'm afraid that when the
New Year's Eve bell rings loudly,]

[you won't be able to hear my wishes.]

[So I choose to send you
my New Year's greetings now.]

♫ Where has the paper plane been? ♫

[Happy new year.]

[I thought this was from my mum.]

♫ The scenery has been ruined unknowingly ♫

[Not Drama King, it's Saviour:
Are you home?]

♫ I believe you who have the most stories ♫

♫ Are willing to speak your mind to me ♫

[Saviour]

♫ I may still feel lonely ♫

♫ Just one message from you makes me happy ♫

♫ Don't say I fulfil you, it just so happens ♫

Hello.

Why didn't you answer my
call or reply to my message?

♫ It just so happens that we are together ♫

No,

I've just got home
and I've got a lot to do.

Besides,

I'm not obliged to reply
to your messages, am I?

What did you say?

Nothing.

Mr Zhou, what can I help you with?

It's 12 o'clock now.

Chu Li,

happy new year.

Happy new year.

-Mr Zhou...
-I'm sorry.

What did you say?

I said I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have yelled
at you that morning.

I shouldn't have done that.

Are you still there?

I am, I am.

I'm just a little shocked

to hear the word sorry

coming out of your mouth.

I am a little shocked too.

Okay, I forgive you.

Really?

I know that

everyone has a part of themselves

that they don't want others to touch.

[I can wait.]

I can wait until you are willing

to let me know that part of you.

Chu Li,

about that morning, actually I...

Instead of watching
Spring Festival Gala with us,

what are you doing in your room?

I am coming.

I am on a call.

Hello, Mr Zhou,

you were saying?

I said...

And pick out your clothes
for tomorrow's blind date.

Okay.

[What?]

Blind date?

[You just got home,]

and you are going on a blind date already?

You...

Do you have to get so worked up?

How can I not?

You are going on a blind date.

[What era we are in now?
You are still going on blind date?]

People these days pursue free love.

Mr Zhou Chuan,

do you not want me to go on a blind date?

I...

It's not like you won't go

if I don't want you to go.

If you don't want me to go,

I won't go.

Don't go then.

Bye bye.

[Chief Yu, happy new year.]

Why are you still playing with your phone

on New Year's Eve?

[Yu Yao: Happy New Year.]

My colleague sent me New Year greetings.

Mum,

why don't I take him back to the room?

Isn't he doing fine sleeping here?

He will catch a cold if he sleeps here.

It's cold out there.

I will take him inside then.

Why did you have to upset my mum?

She has been cooking all day.

She made us so many dishes by herself.

How come she didn't even get
a simple thank you at the end?

I didn't mean to upset her.

I'd booked a restaurant
for New Year's Eve dinner,

but she insisted on eating at home.

Can you call it a New Year's Eve dinner
if you eat out?

It's fine that most of the time

you don't cook because you are too busy,

but it's New Year's Eve,

and you still want to eat out?

I don't want to argue with you now.

By the way,

I promised my mum that I
will bring Qiu Qiu to visit her

on the second day of Chinese New Year.

My mother came all the way
to spend the festival with us,

and you are leaving with
our son the second day?

Does it sound right to not visit
my family for New Year?

I've booked us a flight to Sanya
on the third day of the festival.

The three of us, together with my mum,

are going to spend a few days there.

We will come back on the
seventh day of the festival.

What do you mean by you booked a flight?

Why didn't you discuss with me first?

Can we still go if I had
discussed with you?

Think about it,

Since Qiu Qiu was born,

tell me one time we didn't cancel our trip

because you were busy at work.

Seventh day is not good for me.

I have a lot to do in my office.

It's your choice,

if you can't go,

I will just bring our son and mum with me.

[Suo Heng: I am Suo Heng.]

[Happy new year.]

[WeChat Moments]

[Suo Heng: New day, new year,
and a new beginning.]

[Suo Heng: Words are my love
and passion, I will never give up.]

[Like]

[Jin Yu: Happy new year.]

[Chu Li: Happy new year.]

[Jiang Yu Cheng]

Hello.

It's snowing.

I wished you already before,

but I want to wish you again,

happy new year.

Happy new year.

That's all I want to say. Bye.

You've got a cold?

No, I am fine.

But listen to your voice.

You didn't go to Ms Liu's
place either, did you?

I don't want to infect her.

So, you're alone at home now?

Yes.

I am enjoying a rare quiet moment.

[Okay.]

[Take care.]

Okay.

Rest well.

Bye bye.

I am hanging up now.

[Jiang Yu Cheng]

[Remember to take some medicine.]

It's so pretty.

[My thoughts at the moment.]

[Sent]

Chu Li,

breakfast is ready.

Coming.

I've got you two bowls.

Try it.

Thank you for the new cloth, Mum.

It's so pretty.

About the blind date this afternoon,

can I skip it?

No.

Hand me the bowl.

But I reall...

I don't care if you're real or fake,

steamed, boiled or braised,

you are going.

Or else, what am I going to tell

the matchmaker?

It's 5pm, don't be late.

Zhou Chuan, what's your problem?

Let me tell you,

I put up with you the other day.

Today is the first day of the festival.

At 6am.

You started calling me at 6am.

What the heck do you want?

I just couldn't wait

to give you my Chinese New Year greetings.

I...

Thanks a lot.

Don't call me again.

Since you are here,

do you know how hard it is

to find a shop that is open on
the first day of Chinese New Year?

You've ordered my food for me?

Lay it out, what nasty thing
is on your mind?

My male lead and female lead

have worked it out.

You are together now?

Close enough.

Still need a perfect timing.

Why does a love confession need a timing?

Isn't that just take you like a sentence?

You are so vulgar.

Such things can't just be said.

It needs to be done sophisticatedly.

Sophisticatedly like how?

It's like a love letter,

if you simply write I like you,

it's too crude.

You need to let her receive the
love letter through a sophisticated way.

This is called tacit understanding.

Do you get it?

Whether I get it or not doesn't matter,

but in my experience,

most girls

don't get it.

My male lead and female lead
are nothing like

a vulgar person like you.

So, how are you going
to deliver your love letter?

I...

I am still

contemplating.

You are dilly-dallying.

Be careful that someone may
snatch the female lead away.

How is that possible?

The female lead has turned down

a blind date for the male lead.

Are you that confident?

Careful that things may go sideways.

That's impossible.

I've got it all figured out.

After Chinese New Year, the male lead

is going to deliver his
thoughtfully written love letter,

and the female lead

will be in tears by then.

Chu Li looks quite good in this outfit.

What is it?

New clothes?

Why is she wearing new clothes?

Is she lack of clothes?

Who is she going to
meet in her new clothes?

She can't be going on
a blind date, can she?

You jinxed it again.

Some guy is now trying
to snatch her from me.

How would I know?

Besides, it's normal to wear
new clothes on Chinese New Year.

Everyone do the same.

Not me.

We are grown up now.

Wearing new clothes on Chinese New Year?

What? Like you can't buy
new clothes at other times?

Why must you wear it on the festival only?

Do you think I should go see her?

Do you think everyone is like you?

What are you going to
say after you see her?

I...

Ask her why she is wearing new clothes?

Can't I give her my
Chinese New Year greetings?

I have to go now.

Are you serious right now?

It's the first day of
Chinese New Year, man.

Careful that your dad is
going to break your leg.

[Mr Zhou, it's true that Chu Li
has gone on a blind date.]

[I've found out the address
of their meeting place.]

[And I've sent it to you.]

Thanks.

I'm in finance,

I don't make a lot of money a year,

but I can certainly

afford to support a family.

Good to know.

I am not getting any younger.

So, my mum has been urging me

to get married next year.

Next year?

It's okay.

If you think next year is too fast,

we can postpone it a bit.

We will see.

I heard that you work
for a publishing house.

Do people still buy books these days?

Yes, they do.

Waiter, more water here, please.

It's okay, no need.

Don't bother.

It's fine, don't be shy.

And what are you responsible for?

Literary works?

I will check it out sometime.

I am responsible for novels.

If you don't have a preference,

you can check out Moonlight Magazine.

You can find many
interesting serials there.

Here's your water.

Novel,

I really haven't read one
for quite some years.

I think reading novel is a waste of time.

It's not worth my time.

Hey! What are you doing?

Sorry, sorry.

Watch what you are doing, seriously.

Sorry.

I think he didn't mean to do it.

Why don't you go clean up in the gents?

Excuse me.

What are you doing here?

I came to see you going on a blind date.

That man seems nice.

No, no.

I was planning to leave
after I finished this meal.

My mum forced me to come.

Excuse me,

sorry for the wait.

Where were we just now?

Novel right?

Is the e-book version quite costly?

Do you have any internal edition

that I can look at?

E-book version? It's not expensive.

It's about 10 yuan per copy.

This is not about its price,

or the money,

buying books is an investment.

I haven't even seen the product yet,

so how do I know

if it's worth the price?

Am I right...

Hey!

What are you doing?
This is the second time!

I've had enough with you, you know?

I think the worth of it

is not determined by the price,

but by the person who read the book.

What do you think?

What was that supposed to mean?

What by the person who read the book?

I mean, Mr Chen,

I have something to do, I have to go.

And, Mr Chen,

I will get the check.

Wait.

What was that supposed to mean? Come back!

Come back here.

Is there anyone who can assist me?

What kind of waiter is he?

Slow down, Mr Zhou.

I can't keep up with you.

It's because my mother has
made a promise to someone else,

there's no other way
for me to wriggle out of it.

I didn't do it on purpose.

I think you did it on purpose.

This is new clothes, right?

I haven't seen you wear it before.

My mother bought it for me,

I can't not wear it, can I?

You always have a reason.

It's me who's being
heartless and unreasonable,

and neglected your feelings.

It's me who drove four hours here

to see you and your blind date
having a good time.

I am sorry.

I know I made a mistake.

No, you didn't.

I made a mistake.

I shouldn't have come over to stop you

from getting married to a man in finance.

Can you stop speaking in anger?

Look, I even curled

my hair on purpose.

Look how ugly I look.

It's not ugly.

These little curls are cute.

You are right.

Ah Xiang has curly hair like this,

it's cute.

I didn't say Ah Xiang is cute.

Not just this,

I had a big fight with my mum yesterday,

and I cried.

You cried?

I can't trust you anymore.

It's true.

You see, you see.

How about I remove my make-up?

My eyes are swollen, look at them.

You even put on make-up?

Well, it's for...

Forget it.

Look at the little freckles on my face,

my date wouldn't like me

if he saw me like this.

All right, I

forgive you.

Really?

But don't do it again.

And no more crying.

Absolutely, no next time.

By the way, Mr Zhou,

how did you know I was here?

Take a guess.

Mr Zhou, I am home.

Off you go.

Would you like to come in?

It's not a good idea
to go in empty-handed.

Next time.

So, you're just going to go back?

How long will it take to drive back?

Just four hours.

I'm a little tired today.

So, it's not a good idea to drive back.

Since I am already here,

might as well just stay for one more day.

Really?

Really!

Let me tell you,

there is so much to eat and

so much to do in my hometown.

Wait here, let me book
a hotel room for you right now.

Given your little salary, forget it.

Just go in.

Let me book it for you.

Just go in!

Okay.

I will come find you tomorrow.

Okay.

Hello, Mum.

Son, where are you now?

Why aren't you back yet?

I am

going away to Zhejiang for two days.

I won't be home for now.

You are in Zhejiang?

What are you doing in Zhejiang
on the first day of the festival?

[Why didn't you tell us first?]

I've got something going on.

What could you have going on?

Do you still care about us?

[No sons do this like you do.]

[I have to go now, bye.]

[Mr Zhou,]

[I'm taking you to do
something big tomorrow.]

Hello, your food is here.

Miss?

Miss, what's the matter with you?

Are you okay?

Miss!

Wake up!

Hello, hi.

[Hello, hi.]

[Is this Mr Jiang Yu Cheng?]

Hello, Mum.

Something urgent has come up,
I'm going back to Shanghai.

Tell Dad for me.

[Why are you going back all of a sudden?]

Mum, I'm driving now.

Talk later.

[DeltaHealth]

Nurse,

what ward is Gu Bai Zhi in?

Ward 302.

Thanks.

Relax, you're fine now.

We will observe your condition first.

If there is nothing wrong,

you can be discharged.

Okay.

Thank you, doctor.

Okay.

Are you her family?

No, I'm her friend.

Patient with acute gastroenteritis

can't eat these.

We will observe her condition first.

If she doesn't vomit,

let her have some porridge first.

She is weak now and

needs to be looked after.

Okay, thank you, doctor.

You didn't take medicine, did you?

How else could a small cold

develop into acute gastroenteritis?

How did you know I am in hospital?

Your emergency contact at this hospital

is still me.

Sorry,

I forgot to change it.

I will change it later.

Leave it.

Are we there?

You are awake.

Isn't this your place?

Come on.

I can manage.

What if you go home by yourself

and faint again?

You can let me down now.

Okay.

You can sleep in the room.

I can just sleep on the couch.

Just give me a blanket.

What if you catch a cold again?

I won't.

What's your problem?

It's not like you've
never slept here before?

I will be in the living room.

Go and get some sleep.

So, this is...

Keep your voice down.

This is the big thing
you were talking about?

This was my high school.

Every day at 12pm,

the security guards
will change shifts here.

We have one minute

to sneak in.

Sneak in?

Sneak in to revisit
the memory of your youth?

No.

Sneak in to get something out.

You will see later.

Liu,

what's wrong with this walkie-talkie?

The connection is probably weak.

There is some issue with it.

Your report yesterday,

I have submitted it.

Is it out of battery?

Yes, probably.

I have submitted it yesterday.

Yes, the frequency now is 285.

Go now.

28.5

Write this down in the handover book.

The thing I'm looking for

is down here.

Digging a hole?

Did you really think
of yourself as Er Gou?

Of course not.

We are using these.

This is...

This is a short story I wrote

when I was in high school.

You didn't expect that, did you?

My original dream was to be an author.

It was poorly written, right?

I wrote a lot of short stories

like this back then.

I was going to send them all
to Yuan Yue Publishing House.

Until I saw

Mr Jiang's The Disappearing Zoo.

And I thought to myself,

oh my,

I would never be able to write

a novel like this in my life.

How could anyone be so wildly creative

and logical at the same time?

So, I gave up

and I became Mr Jiang's fan.

But I couldn't throw them away,

so I buried them here.

You called me here today

so that I could listen to you

talking about your star-struck journey?

Of course not.

I just want to share

my past with you.
