Original subtitles

What about this one?

Look at me wearing this.

This one.

Hello.

Hello.

How much is this one?

This one is two thousand eight hundred.

Two thousand eight hundred.

Then what about this one?

That one is three thousand two hundred.

Three thousand two hundred.

That's right.

Which one do you think is better?

Jiang Qiaoxi.

What's wrong?

Why aren't you saying anything?

Didn't you tell me

that if I'm feeling emotional,

I can just say it?

That I can depend on you more?

Fine.

Then what do you want?

Why don't you pick one?

I'll buy it for you.

How about this one?

I don't want sunglasses.

I want something else.

What else do you want?

Alright.

Anyway, after we buy the sunglasses,

we'll still have six or seven thousand left.

Pick whatever you want.

Yu Qiao's sunglasses...

Let me buy them for him.

Actually,

I wanted to give him a gift.

Why?

Last time Yu Qiao came to Hong Kong,

he said some things to me.

When you think about it,

he really does spend

more time with you than I do.

Maybe...

he really does

understand you better than I do.

Why are you...

saying such strange things?

I wanted to tell you...

Thank you, Ying Tao,

for never giving up on me.

Don't say things like that.

Actually, Yu Qiao...

he also considers you a friend.

He's very worried about you too.

Did you know?

Your address in Hong Kong,

he's the one who came and told me.

If it weren't for him,

for me to find you...

it probably would have been much harder.

So,

I have to thank him too.

You two are really alike.

You both

are people who want others to be happy.

Look at this.

It suits you well.

Do you want me to go back to Hongyang to study?

What do you mean?

Nothing, just saying.

What do you want to buy?

We won the lottery,

shouldn't we spend some money?

I've already thought about it.

I want to get my cousin

some green plants.

When he gets out of the hospital,

having flowers and plants at home

will surely cheer him up.

I also want to get my cousin-in-law

some good red wine.

When cousin gets discharged,

shouldn't we celebrate properly?

And also...

Rui Rui, right?

We'll get Rui Rui

some toys,

and new clothes.

And for uncle and auntie...

I think for them...

You haven't thought about

getting anything for yourself?

My cousin and his wife told me

to take you shopping more often.

For what?

To buy lipstick and high heels?

That would be fine.

I don't wear lipstick.

I'm pretty enough as it is.

I don't wear high heels.

I'm tall enough.

Let me stand here.

Let me tell you something.

Those things...

to me,

they don't mean much.

It's because you're the one giving them to me

that they have meaning.

Ying Tao,

you're so wonderful.

It'll make it even harder for me to leave you.

Even if you can't bear it,

there's nothing you can do.

I'm leaving the day after tomorrow.

I know.

That's why

we need to hurry up

and go shopping.

Don't be sad.

Then tonight,

let's go see my cousin and his wife.

Okay.

Okay, I happen to have something

to discuss with them.

Cousin-in-law!

Cousin-in-law, we're here!

Come, come, come!

You're here!

Cousin-in-law.

Cousin-in-law, today you look

absolutely stunning,

breathtakingly beautiful!

It really is Ying Tao!

Thank you, thank you.

Let me in, let me in.

A money tree!

A money tree!

Thank you.

Auntie, uncle.

Uncle, I bought you some health supplements.

Cousin.

I'll just stay seated.

Cheers.

Toasting with soup instead of wine.

Ying Tao, thank you for the red wine.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Did you guys really win the lottery?

And it was over nine thousand?

Yeah.

I really didn't expect to win.

Ying Tao, you were absolutely right.

You really have to have hope in life.

Let me express myself.

Brother,

these past two years,

it's been hard on you.

Thank you.

And thanks to everyone for taking care of me.

It wasn't easy.

Especially...

my wife.

You don't have to say all this.

I must.

I had some old debts

that I hadn't collected.

Although getting them back now

is truly difficult...

However, if I go in person,

more or less,

they'll show me some respect.

It won't be a big problem.

So, our family's problems

are in the past now.

Therefore,

Qiaoxi, all those jobs you have,

just quit them all.

I think ever since you were little,

you've had a talent

for mathematics.

Don't let it go to waste.

Focus on your studies.

Use this time

to really think about

what path you want to take.

What are your plans?

Cousin,

actually,

I've already figured it out.

That's good.

I want to...

I want to go back to Hongyang.

You don't want to study at the University

of Hong Kong?

I've only been in Hong Kong

for a year.

I haven't forgotten what I've learned.

So if I go back to Hongyang,

I can still get a good score.

But you're studying finance now.

If you want to enter this industry in the future,

having an educational background from Hong Kong

will definitely give you an advantage, right?

Ruocheng,

I understand Qiaoxi's intentions.

Think about it.

If he continues to study here,

then he and Ying Tao

will be in a long-distance relationship for another three years.

Alright,

for Ruocheng to be home for dinner today,

I had to plead with the doctor

to finally agree.

We have to send him back later.

Qiaoxi's education

is such an important matter.

Let's not discuss it at the dinner table.

Let's eat.

Eat.

Let's eat first, let's eat first.

Brother, listen to me.

Eat, eat.

Let me say something first.

Actually,

I know

that feelings

are very important sometimes.

But sometimes, what's more important

than feelings

is the ability to act on those feelings.

Don't just look at the here and now.

Sometimes you have to look

at your future, right?

Whatever I say now is useless,

isn't it?

You're not listening.

Let's not talk about serious matters

while we're eating.

Okay, okay, okay.

Eat, eat.

Ying Tao, eat.

Cheers.

Cheer up, cheer up.

Cheer up.

Just eat.

I... I... I...

I can understand a little.

Because when I was a kid,

I really liked watching "The Return of the Condor Heroes"

with my parents.

And I really liked...

I really liked Little Dragon Maiden in it.

Are you trying to say

I look like her?

Yes, a lot of people say that.

Really.

A lot of people say that.

No wonder.

No wonder as soon as I saw you, cousin-in-law,

I felt a special connection.

Right? I'm so lucky,

I ended up with a fairy.

Do you...

really plan

to go back and retake the entrance exams?

I've already made you wait for me for two years.

I can't just do nothing

and make you wait another three.

But you're already

a student at the University of Hong Kong.

Why would you go back and retake the exams?

Besides, if you retake them,

the pressure will be immense.

Ying Tao, do you remember?

Back when you finished your exams,

I went back to Hongyang

and told you those things.

I said...

I want to go to school with you.

Go to the library together,

go to the cafeteria together.

Even if you go back to a university in Hongyang,

those kinds of days...

we'd only have them for a year.

Isn't that right?

It doesn't matter.

As long as I have the chance,

even if it's just for one year,

I'm willing.

You said to make up for

my eighteenth birthday present,

and you came to buy a cooking pot?

Yeah.

I used to enjoy cooking.

But I've been too busy these past two years,

no time to cook.

Lately,

my cousin has been doing well,

so I thought I'd pick this

hobby back up.

You really don't have to save my money.

I've saved up quite a bit

from tutoring.

And we have our prize money.

You can get something else.

How about this?

You said before that

your cousin-in-law thinks

the sign of a girl growing up

is lipstick and high heels.

Why don't you go ask your cousin

what he thinks the sign of a boy

growing up is?

I could actually get you some...

suits, or

dress shoes or something.

You'd definitely look handsome in them.

But I don't want a suit,

and I don't want dress shoes.

I think

the sign of a boy growing up

should be a full set of cookware.

For real?

For real.

Besides,

you're leaving tomorrow.

I want to cook a meal for you.

Alright then.

But you're making such a big deal out of this.

What if

it doesn't turn out well?

After all, it's been two years

since you last cooked.

You're looking down on me.

My head is full of recipes.

If you don't cook,

why memorize recipes?

You don't get it.

That's all material for my fantasies.

Material for your fantasies?

When you didn't have enough to eat,

you'd look at recipes to curb your hunger?

No.

Didn't you tell me

that when you couldn't see me,

you were always thinking of me

in a parallel world?

Me too.

When you weren't by my side,

I would always imagine

another

parallel world of us.

In that world,

we were always together.

And I would cook many meals for you.

Well then,

you better try hard.

I mean,

I grew up eating

your Auntie Juanzi's food.

If your cooking isn't good,

I won't eat it.

Surpassing Auntie Juanzi...

is probably impossible.

But I can practice more.

As long as it makes you want to come home to eat.

What I just said,

did you remember?

When picking oranges,

you have to choose the ones with round

and nice-looking navels.

That's how they're sweet.

Got it?

Got it.

Hold on, look at this.

Ying Tao.

Don't you feel like

we've been living like this

since a long time ago?

Isn't that obvious?

We've grown up

together since we were kids.

You were the one always freeloading at my house.

Couldn't get rid of you.

But doing this,

shopping at the supermarket together,

thinking about what to eat tonight,

this is the first time.

It's just that I feel like

we've already done this

many, many times.

Jiang Qiaoxi,

how did I only just realize that you,

who are usually so quiet,

have so many wild and imaginative

ideas in your head?

Well, this reality is much better

than my imagination.

I want to turn all these

fantasies into reality.

Let's buy this.

Okay.

Ying Tao,

I...

I won't make you wait too long.

Even if I

continue studying at the University of Hong Kong,

I'll come back to Hongyang to find you very soon.

That's a promise then.

You have to be very quick.

You have to run to me.

Do you...

want to buy this?

If you want to buy it, just buy it.

Did you think

I didn't know?

It's okay.

I...

I understand completely.

Are... are you serious?

I...

I saw everything.

There were cigarettes on your windowsill.

You smoke, don't you?

It's okay.

My dad used to smoke too.

Later he quit for my mom.

He used chewing gum to quit, too.

I don't smoke much usually.

I can quit quickly.

This one feels pretty good.

Or maybe...

Excuse me, you two.

Are you paying or not?

Coming, coming!

The romance between you two...

is it always this innocent?

Do you want to have dinner together later?

Sure.

Brother Yin.

You rotten kid.

These past two years,

I've been good to you for nothing.

You won't even cook one meal for me.

Brother Yin,

tell me...

how he's gotten by

these past two years.

Do you really want to hear it?

I'm afraid you'll cry.

He had it rough.

No, no, no.

I don't believe you.

You can't make me cry.

My tolerance for sad stories is very high.

Go ahead.

Wait, wait.

Don't be fooled by her.

She cries very easily.

So, are you going to tell me or not?

Tell her.

Let me tell you

how foolish he was when he first arrived.

He thought this place

was very complicated.

He insisted on acting all limp,

like a tough guy.

And that scar on his head...

you need a magnifying glass to see it clearly.

And then,

he'd flip his hair like this every day,

showing the scar,

thinking people wouldn't mess with him.

Why are you telling her everything?

He looked really

ridiculous back then.

When I saw you back then,

I really disliked you.

A guy who could

barely scrape together rent money,

but still put on such a big act.

If my dad didn't like you,

I would have kicked you out.

Back then...

See how nice Brother Yin is?

You were putting on such an act back then,

acting all high and mighty,

and Brother Yin still took you in.

He was so good to you.

I was not putting on an act.

Don't listen to his nonsense.

Ying Tao, I'm the landlord.

Well, a landlord should also kick someone out

when they can't pay the rent,

right?

Right?

My helping him...

wasn't because of that.

Then what was the reason?

Don't they all say

that men can't bear to see women cry?

Actually,

it's even harder for a man to see another man cry.

That night,

he was watching Titanic.

And he cried.

Yes, that's right.

Titanic.

It's easy to cry.

But don't most people cry when

Rose sees Jack

go down with the ship?

Not him.

He cried when

Rose and Jack promised each other

that they would go on

to live a wonderful life.

That part is

the most hopeful moment.

Yet he cried so wretchedly,

so miserably.

I just felt that

this little boy...

was actually very pitiful.

So since Brother Yin had nothing better to do,

I decided to show him some kindness.

Brother Yin,

I'd like to toast to you.

Thank you for these past two years,

for taking such good care of Jiang Qiaoxi.

My pleasure.

Don't spit it out.

Don't you spit it out.

This is Brother Yin's prized collection.

It's not cheap.

So? Is it good?

It's so strong!

Don't drink it then.

It's burning.

It's way too strong.

Let's go.

I'll add some ice.

Brother Yin,

on this trip to Hong Kong,

I've had a lot of good alcohol.

I had red wine with Jiang Qiaoxi's cousin-in-law,

and now this whiskey of yours.

They're all good liquors, all very expensive.

But...

no matter how much I drink,

I can't get used to it. I don't like it.

Why do you guys

like drinking so much?

No one is born

liking the taste of alcohol.

Brother Yin...

drinks because he has no other choice.

Not everyone

is like Vincent,

with such a good girl to love him.

Brother Yin has no one to love him,

so he drinks.

Who would believe you?

Jiang Qiaoxi said you're a big player.

That's just playing the part.

It doesn't count.

If I'm not good to them,

they won't be good to me.

It's very fair.

Eat, eat.

Don't... don't be sad.

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

Don't you feel sad for him.

You actually believe his words?

He owns this whole building,

and he also has land in Lok Ma Chau.

He stays home every day counting his deeds

until the sun comes up.

You don't understand.

Colorful clouds disperse easily.

High buildings collapse easily.

These things that you can see...

are actually the most worthless.

They can be gone in an instant.

Your journey together hasn't been easy.

Cherish each other.

You two are the lucky ones.

Jiang Qiaoxi.

Ying...

Tao.

Jiang Qiaoxi.

What is it, Ying Tao?

Are you a broken record?

I was just thinking...

that tomorrow I won't be able to hear you

answer me like this.

So I just want to say your name more.

Ying Tao.

Do you know...

when I hear

you say my name,

what I'm thinking?

You're thinking...

"Lin Yingtao's voice

is so beautiful."

No taste.

Ying Tao.

For so many years,

I kept trying to prove myself.

That I am Jiang Qiaoxi.

Before,

I used my good grades,

used silence,

gave up math,

gave up my guaranteed admission spot.

Even...

Even used that other method...

to prove that I am Jiang Qiaoxi.

But now I suddenly realize...

the moment I hear you

call my name...

I already exist.

Hello?

Qin Yeyun.

I'm...

in Hong Kong.

I know.

I...

I found Jiang Qiaoxi.

I know that too.

Lin Yingtao.

It's three in the morning.

I...

I get it now.

How do you feel right now?

Are you happy or sad?

I don't know either.

If I'm happy right now

or if I'm sad.

It just feels...

It feels like I'm different

from before.

But it also seems like

nothing has changed.

Then wasn't this call

a total waste?

No.

It's just that...

I think I suddenly understand

a secret.

It's the kind of thing where...

before, when I was on the street,

I'd see some adults,

and I always felt like they had some

shared secret.

But now,

I know that secret too.

I can't believe it, Lin Yingtao.

How did you find out

the secret before me?

I told you

the very first chance I got.

You should be

secretly happy about that.

What do I do, Lin Yingtao?

Now that you've said that,

I'm a little scared.

There are things you're afraid of?

Well, I'm a girl too.

I get scared too.

Don't be scared.

It's just...

You have to find someone you love.

If you're with the person you love,

you won't feel scared.

Ying Tao.

Are you sure

you don't want me to take you to the airport?

I don't want you to see me off.

Because I don't want you

to come back from the airport alone.

I want you to pick me up at the airport.

That way, I'll feel like

I'm going to pick up Lin Yingtao.

Instead of seeing the airport and thinking...

"This is where

I sent Lin Yingtao away."

Don't be like that.

This is making me want to cry too.

Why don't we find a place

and cry our eyes out together?

Jiang Qiaoxi.

You promised.

You'd go back and find me.

You... you promised.

I really will wait for you.

You promised me.

We promised.

We promised.

I will definitely come find you.

You promise?

I promise.

Jiang Qiaoxi,

I like you a lot.

You know that.

I know.

I like you a lot too.

Besides that,

my dream is

to become an excellent teacher.

Whether it's a kindergarten teacher,

or elementary,

or middle school, it doesn't matter.

I want to use my own strength

to help my students gain

more knowledge.

To help them know themselves,

and accept themselves.

To know what their

direction is in the future.

What about you?

What do you want to do?

The old me...

wanted to give up math.

Wanted to

leave my parents.

But the me now,

especially after experiencing

what happened with my cousin's family,

I want to work in finance.

I know the world of finance

can lift a person up,

but it can also easily

destroy a person.

But with you by my side,

I'm not afraid.

I will definitely

be someone

who lifts others up.

Then go do it.

Do what you want to do.

I want you to become yourself.

And I will become myself.

Although the two of us,

on the path to becoming ourselves,

might not be together...

But as long as we know

we love each other,

then distance won't be a problem.

Nothing will change.

Right?

Anyway, I already went without news from you,

waiting for you for two years.

So in the future,

there definitely won't be

a worse situation.

Our future will definitely

get better and better.

So do what you want to do.

Stay in Hong Kong.

So that's how it is.

Jiang Qiaoxi said

he'll come find me right away.

It's so great for you two.

So,

at the end of the story,

did the prince and princess live happily

ever after?

The princess...

is still in Hong Kong right now.

But the prince who saved her

is coming back to Hongyang to study.

As for the future,

no one can say for sure.

It's okay.

Didn't the princess say

he's the one who will come find you from now on?

Besides,

a princess who would give her

birthday wish to someone else

is definitely not a bad princess.

The stories of good princesses

always have good endings.

Yu Qiao,

I'm back from Hong Kong.

And I brought you back

the Ray-Ban sunglasses.

Originally, I wanted to buy them for you,

but in the end,

Jiang Qiaoxi was the one who paid.

He said it was to thank you.

Yu Qiao,

I want to thank you very much too.

Are you still busy?

Do you want me to drop them off for you?

Thanks, Ying Tao.

I'm still preparing for the aviation academy exam.

I have my interview

for Canada coming up soon.

I don't have much time.

You tell Jiang Qiaoxi

one pair of sunglasses isn't enough.

Tell him when he comes to Hongyang,

he has to bring the sunglasses in person

and bow to me in thanks.

Okay.

I'll tell him.

Thanks.

Thank you.

You two have been busy all day.

Take a break.

See if there's anything I can do.

I'll help you out.

No need, Auntie Shuangyan.

These clothes...

If I don't personally check the stitching,

I don't feel comfortable sending them out.

Besides,

my dad finally found

something he likes to do.

If you tell him to stop,

he won't be happy.

Shuangyan, Shuangyan.

This thing...

being able to talk to customers from all over

is pretty interesting.

It's quite interesting.

Ying Tao!

Yeyun, Yeyun!

The QQ message Ying Tao sent you.

Ying Tao found Qiaoxi.

Yes.

Jiang Qiaoxi was hiding from her

all the way in Hong Kong,

and she still managed to drag him out.

So that Ying Tao and Qiaoxi...

Are they...

Auntie Shuangyan,

it's exactly what you think.

They just look innocent.

What about you?

Dad,

my mind isn't on that stuff.

Yu Qiao...

Dad, what are you talking about?

The most important thing for me right now

is to buy a car.

What now?

Buy a car.

Yes, buy a car.

Why are you thinking about that?

Cars are so expensive now.

You don't even have a driver's license.

I'll get my license.

No matter how expensive the car is,

I'll work hard to buy it.

I just want to buy

my favorite car.

As long as I'm driving that car,

everyone will know

that I'm an impressive person.

I just want to hold the steering wheel

in my own hands.

Listen to my favorite songs,

drive for long distances,

and see lots of beautiful scenery.

In my passenger seat,

I want you.

I want Ying Tao.

I want Cai Fangyuan and Du Shang.

And Yu Qiao can sit there too.

Of course,

Auntie Shuangyan has to be there too.

I just want to take

the people I love

to every corner

of the world.

Jiang Qiaoxi, I'm here!

Have you been waiting long?

Just a little while.

I was just in the hallway,

some junior students stopped me to ask questions.

So, did you miss me a lot today?

Of course I missed you.

I missed you a lot too.

Jiang Qiaoxi.

What is it, Ying Tao?

I just really, really,

really missed you.

When I get back,

I'll take you to the amusement park.

Jiang Qiaoxi.

I just took a shower.

The bathhouse was so crowded today.

Go, go, go.

Who let you in?

What are you doing?

Who's this?

What?

Hello.

Hello, hello, hello.

You two,

what stage are you at now?

Jiang Qiaoxi,

let's enjoy the

beautiful dance performance together.
