Original subtitles

Good morning.

Morning.

Sleep well?

Get some more sleep. Xiaozhe is still sleeping.

No, I'm fine.

I'm gonna make breakfast.

Why? It's still early.

Did you have a good dream?

Honey,

I like the sparkling water you recently bought.

By the way,

the bride-cake is almost going bad.

I'm gonna eat it.

Are you going out?

I have a yoga class.

I told you.

Yeah.

Taking a break is fine.

I know you've been busy…

but there are no more lunch boxes in the fridge for Xiaozhe.

I forgot.

Sorry.

I'm not blaming you.

It happens.

How about I give you the recipe?

You two can cook together.

Me?

I don't even know how to cook.

I marked the dishes Xiaozhe can eat.

You can order them by delivery.

See you later.

Okay.

Bye.

- Hey. - Hey.

I think…

it's about to rain.

Maybe the sun will come out soon.

Why don't we go to a movie first?

What's wrong?

Is Xiaozhe all right?

He's fine.

Something about your husband?

We're going out to have fun.

If you're not in the mood today,

maybe we shouldn't go?

I'm fine. Let's go.

Hey.

Every time you say you're fine,

you don't look fine.

Pay attention to your hands.

Watch your hands!

What are you laughing at?

Nothing.

Show me how you're doing it.

What are you doing?

- Stop laughing. - All right.

I mean it. Your hands. Like this.

And your finger pulps.

Okay?

- Come on, be serious. - Fine.

One, two… what?

You count so slow.

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight,

nine, ten.

Your turn.

Okay?

One, two,

three, four,

five, six,

seven, eight…

- I think I will take the exam in July. - Nine…

- My dad wants me to go to med school. - Ten.

In Taipei?

Taipei…

I don't think I can get into NTU or TMU.

I will probably go to KMU or CSMU.

Stay in Taipei.

It is not up to me.

So only apply for schools in Taipei.

No way.

I'll be damned if my parents know that.

It's so cold tonight.

Do you want my jacket?

You keep it.

You sure?

Well…

It's too late.

Just a little while.

A little while?

Just a little while then.

It's been a while.

A bit longer.

Come on, I am stinky.

You smell great.

I really need to go home.

All right.

You got nothing to do?

Let's go home.

Get off!

Hop on!

Hurry up!

Faster!

Watch out! Look out!

- Are you okay? - Don't touch me.

Let me help you.

I said I'm fine. Just leave me alone.

I am Miss Yang from the Counseling Office.

The reason I need to talk to you is because we received a report

about a suspicious man who did something inappropriate

to some of our school's girls.

So we asked the teachers to look into it.

Tingting.

This is what you wrote in your address book, isn't it?

Yes.

Would you tell me again…

what exactly happened that night?

You two were together, right?

So,

what were you two girls doing out there so late?

Why didn't you go home?

Will you tell me?

It's dangerous out there that late. Are you aware of that?

Write down the details about that night.

I'll try my best to help you.

Stop following me.

I'm worried about you.

You don't have to be. Mind your own business.

I can take care of you.

Are you taking the elevator? I'll walk with you.

I don't need you to be with me.

My dad asked me to quit volleyball.

From now on, we'll go home separately. You don't need to take me home anymore.

What?

I can explain it to your dad.

What are you gonna say?

I promise I'll get you home safely, so you don't need to quit volleyball.

What exactly did you write in your address book?

Nothing.

I just don't want anyone else to get harmed, that's all.

Others won't be like us being out there that late.

It was just an accident.

It was not an accident!

It's because we're too close.

Why can't we be close?

Because it is strange.

From now on,

I will go back home by myself.

I don't need your ride.

Why are you saying that?

- Why are you so mad? - I'm not.

Why are you ignoring me?

Because we're not okay.

- What are you talking about? - We're disgusting.

Everyone!

Look at the camera.

Where's Yiming?

We told her to come, right?

There she is!

Yiming.

Come on, hurry up!

Run!

Captain Yiming.

Stand here in the middle.

Everyone, say "Cheese"!

Count down from ten.

- I had to hold my breath. - I wonder if I closed my eyes.

Tingting.

So…

No "Happy Graduation" wishes for me?

Congratulations.

Study hard and practice hard.

I will come back to watch your games

like the senior sisters used to do.

You will be back?

If I'm still in Taiwan then.

You…

You are going abroad?

Yeah…

My dad wants me to go on exchange to Canada in my sophomore year.

So, I will probably just stay there.

Let's take pictures

as mementos.

One for you and one for me.

Let me ask someone to take them.

I think it's fine.

Thank you.

Good job, guys.

We're going to a hot pot restaurant.

- Why are you here? - See you in a bit.

I saw the event on PTT BBS.

You are on PTT BBS?

I'm about to be a college student.

Here.

Thank you.

I didn't know you dance.

- Don't laugh at me. - You did great.

Everyone,

put the props back by 10:00 p.m.

The building closes then.

Then head out to the hot pot restaurant.

Okay!

Are you going with them?

Yeah. It's an after party.

Can I go with you?

But the tables might be full.

And it will be a bit late.

Or I can wait and take you home later?

I'm not living with my parents.

I share an apartment with my friend.

My dad thinks I live in the dorm.

So where do you live now?

- Yiming. - I…

- Shall we go? - Sure. Just one second.

Okay. Let me take these.

- I'll go get my bike. - Okay.

See you later.

Is he "your friend"?

Boyfriend?

Seriously? So soon?

Tingting.

What?

Tingting.

Hey.

What's wrong with you?

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Can you tell me?

You should go.

You sure?

Why did you choose him?

What do you mean?

You don't even like him.

I… I do.

You like him very much?

It's common to date someone in college.

Everyone does that.

You are not like everyone else. You could have been more special.

Every girl I meet has a boyfriend.

Then what about me?

You will also meet someone who likes you,

and you'll like him too.

He will be there with you.

You'll be fine.

I really have to go.

It's a bit late.

I think,

there are some differences between friendship and romantic love.

Sorry.

Bye.

Why'd you take so long?

- Huh? - Why'd you take so long?

Nothing.

Who's she?

- My junior schoolmate in high school. - She's in high school?

What?

Ade wants her number, not me.

- Stop it. - I said it's not me.

- Fine. Let's go. - Go.

Hold tight.

Something on your mind?

Nothing.

I think there's something.

I'm fine. I promise.

There's no need to pretend in front of me.

You can tell me anything.

How about we go away somewhere with Xiaozhe?

Please don't say that.

You don't have to get stuck here.

But…

this is my home.

Is this the home that you really want?

You said you'd like to get married and have kids.

You did everything.

But are you happy?

Are you sure you know what you really want?

I am here for you.

Yiming.

Sweetie.

Where were you going?

Just went to buy some stuff.

Hi.

Here is some fruit.

Have some.

Tingting, what a coincidence!

You two went to the same high school.

Yeah.

On that day, I thought your wife looked familiar,

so I checked in my high school yearbook

and realized we were schoolmates.

Have some fruit.

Okay.

Or have some drinks.

Honey, I really like the sparkling water you recently bought.

I drank a lot of it, so I went to get some more.

Tingting, do you wanna try it?

Sure. It's my favorite.

Here you go.

I'm good.

Okay.

Right, I remember there're some…

Honey, where is the box you always kept every time we moved?

Your collection of mementos.

Maybe we can find some photos you took back in high school.

Let's check them out.

Really? I thought she'd throw those away.

No. They are precious to her.

She insisted on keeping them whenever we moved.

Where is it?

I think it's time for Xiaozhe to go to bed.

Why don't you take him to bed?

- Yeah, it's quite late. - And I think…

Tingting should go home.

Honey, how about… you two catch up tonight?

I'll take the couch.

That's fine. Let me walk you downstairs. Let's go.

Let's go.

Bye.

Thanks.

Bye.

Honey.

So Tingting was your schoolmate?

Has she changed a lot?

How could you not recognize her?

I mean, I followed her Instagram.

I saw a photo of her with Jiaxin at the wedding.

You didn't see her then?

It's nothing.

Just chatting.

Baby.

Can we talk?

Sure. Talk about what?

I know

we made a decision after Xiaozhe was born

that you'd stay in Hsinchu for your job,

and I'd stay in Taipei for Xiaozhe and my dad.

- What's wrong with that? - No, it's just…

- Are you tired? - No. I just…

We haven't talked about Xiaozhe seriously.

So I was just wondering…

maybe you should spend more time with him.

I understand you wanna relax after work,

play video games,

that's fine.

You work very hard.

But… it just…

Every time I tell you about these things,

you seem indifferent.

Sometimes, you'd buy him toys,

but what he really needs is--

- Fine. Honey. - Just…

I know it's hard for you.

It must be stressful to take care of Xiaozhe.

- No, I… - But listen.

You've brought it up several times.

The school is the real problem.

- No, the school-- - The problems will go away with time.

Xiaozhe will grow up.

Everything will be fine. We will be fine too.

There's nothing wrong with the school.

We need to face the fact that

Xiaozhe is a little bit different.

He needs more of your company,

- not the toys you buy when you come back. - Good. Then…

- It's not a bad thing. - Wait.

Listen. How's this?

I'll transfer back to Taipei.

I'm not asking you to do that.

You won't say that I'm not home--

You can't transfer back. That's not what I meant.

Your mom won't agree.

You're always like this when we talk about this subject.

We're not on the same page.

Then how about this?

Write down everything you'd like me to do.

Like Xiaozhe's lunch box.

Make a list.

One, two, three, four…

check them off when I finish them.

If I can't do it, let's talk then.

- Would that work? - Raising a child is not cooking.

But the thing is--

- You need to understand him. - So I said I can transfer.

- I'm not asking you to do that. - And you don't want to do it.

You're contradicting yourself

and repeating yourself.

- I want you to be with Xiaozhe-- - But if you transfer…

- I have no idea what you're saying. - I'm in love with someone!

Do you get it?

What are you talking about?

What do you mean by that?

- You said you're too busy for Xiaozhe? - I'm busy.

- You have time to see someone? - I'm busy.

- I need to work and pick up Xiaozhe… - Who is he?

- It doesn't matter. - How come it doesn't matter?

It's the only thing that matters.

I don't care about anything else.

- All I know is you've fallen in love with… - It doesn't matter.

- That's not the point. - You dared tell me that you cheated.

Just tell me who he is.

Just let it go.

- You have to tell me. - Tingting!

Tingting? The girl who was in our house?

Are you kidding me?

Are you crazy?

She is a woman.

Come on.

You knew each other back in high school.

You may have mutual interests,

but come on, that's friendship, not romantic love.

Not a romantic relationship like us.

Do you get it now?

That's ridiculous.

Come up with a better excuse if you want a divorce.

You're being ridiculous!

Miss Huang, we're on the way.

I see.

I will ask her then.

Thanks.

- Hello? - Where are you?

I didn't see you at the entrance.

I'm at the entrance.

I called you right when I walked out.

A guy asked me to leave.

So I couldn't park there.

I told you

to call me when you got off work and to meet me at the entrance.

So where are you now?

The main entrance of the building.

Fine, just stay there.

Otherwise, we'll be late for getting Xiaozhe.

We don't need to pick up Xiaozhe.

Why?

Stay in the car.

Hey, Xiaozhe.

Thanks for picking him up.

Let's go home, Xiaozhe. Say goodbye.

I'll clarify to Miss Huang that you're not part of our family,

so she won't call you afterward.

Fine with me.

Honey.

I'm sorry.

I was not familiar with the area near your office,

so I got stressed.

That's fine.

Our son is so cute, right?

Xiaozhe, let me join you.

No.

He is always cute.

Of course. He's our son.

Are you sure you're transferring back to Taipei?

Yeah.

Did you tell your mom?

I did. I said I got a promotion. She sounded very happy.

You don't need to lie to her.

How can I tell her the truth?

I mean,

I think you should talk to me

before you make decisions.

Talk about what?

Forget it.

You already decided.

I had to.

What would change if I had waited?

I'm finished.

I'll do the dishes.

That's fine. I can do them.

I said let me do them.

This is my house. I say what happens.

Do you have to be so loud?

Yes. And we have to talk now.

Please do not act like that in front of Xiaozhe.

Act like what?

I don't get it.

You always talk about Xiaozhe. Everything, anytime.

So what? You care about him that much?

Of course, I care about him.

Okay, if you do, how could you do such thing?

In love with a woman?

Is it good for him?

Fine.

You wanna talk?

Let's talk now.

Talk.

- Talk to me. - What?

- Talk to me! - Talk about what?

You like her. You want to be with her. All right.

Is she better than me?

Does she earn as much as I do?

Is her job stable?

Can she take care of you and Xiaozhe?

Does she have a car and a house?

Yes, or no?

Does she have a car and a house?

Come on, she has nothing.

She knows me.

I have worked tirelessly

for the past ten years…

for our home.

Now you're telling me she knows you.

Go.

Go.

What are you doing? What are you doing?

Go.

Go!

Tingting's mom.

Oh.

Hi! Yiming!

Long time no see.

You're as pretty as ever.

Thank you.

You came here to see Tingting?

She doesn't live here anymore.

She doesn't live here?

She lives at her boyfriend's.

She should already be married at her age.

You're married, aren't you?

That's good.

Better than Tingting.

A 30-year-old woman still acting like a kid,

always changing jobs

and boyfriends.

Come in and have some tea?

No, thanks. I've got to go.

I'm going out too. Let me walk with you.

Just a second.

Okay.

It's been such a long time.

How are you?

Go get the door.

You go. It must be your friends.

At this hour? No.

My friends wouldn't come so late.

Who is it?

I'll be right back.

Yiming.

Yiming, can we talk?

- Yiming! - Stop following me!

Yiming Jiang!

What the hell do you want?

You think it's fun?

Did you plan all this?

Are you trying to get back at me?

What are you talking about?

I did everything just for you. Didn't you feel it?

What exactly am I to you?

I just need a simple answer.

I want to know that everything we had was real,

not just my imagination.

I like you.

Would you dare to say that?

You don't know what I'm going through.

I have my kid…

and my family.

So what?

Who do you think you are?

You came to break up my family,

but you have a boyfriend.

Who are you to judge me?

It's you who told me to date other guys.

It's you who thought we were disgusting.

- That was in high school! - Yiming Jiang.

Do you know how selfish you are?

I like you for who you are.

I give you everything you want.

But every time, you choose to leave me…

because you can't be true to yourself.

You know…

You know what? I hate myself so much because I like girls.

I've been thinking that if you weren't my first crush,

maybe I would be more confident.

I like you.

When I met you again, I know I could never forget you.

I can do anything for you.

I can break up with my boyfriend…

if that's what you want.

I never know what I really want.

So I envy you.

You have a free spirit,

so pure.

Every time when I'm with you,

I can be myself.

I feel supported even when I make mistakes.

I'm happy to be with you.

I see Xiaozhe is happy too.

The happiness is real.

I cherish

every moment of us very, very much

because each time might be the last time.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Are you leaving me again?

Tingting.

I like you very much.

But…
