Depends on

how much remorse you show for your crimes.

Either you are processed as scrap in the transfer station,

or you open the door behind you

and start over as a new person.

The number of crimes you committed is staggering.

First.

You were married for three years.

Why did you never introduce your wife to your friends?

I do not have any friends.

You'd rather die than tell the truth.

Alright. Next question.

Even though you were unwilling at first,

since you chose to get married,

why were you so cold toward your wife?

Because

I was afraid I would end up like that cat.

Didn't you just buy that cat bed?

You don't like it anymore?

I didn't like the cat anymore,

so I gave it away.

Once you have it, it will be abandoned.

So I decided

to keep a distant but not broken relationship with her,

to prolong the freshness of our marriage as much as possible.

I ordered a lot of takeout.

Do you want to eat together?

No.

That is why I rarely eat with her.

Let us

stay together tonight.

We also almost never spend the night together.

But

no matter how you try to preserve it,

there's always a limit to how long it can last.

To be honest, married life

was suffocating.

I was far happier when I was single.

It is time for me to let go.

I have a project that requires long-term remote work at home.

I need a quiet space to be alone.

Why don't you

take a vacation for a while?

All I could give her

was the freedom she wanted.

What a huge misunderstanding!

She only gave the cat away because you were allergic to cat hair,

even though it broke her heart.

And

she was just venting about a TV drama she watched,

about the female lead's life after marriage.

Besides,

don't say it like you're actually afraid she might abandon you.

You don't even like her,

so why would you care?

I did like her.

I've liked her since a long time ago.

And then

luck was on my side.

We got married.

But after we were married,

there was very little I could actually do for her.

[Food delivery menu]

Until I realized she loved ordering takeout.

Only then did I finally find a bit of my own value.

Every day I would secretly log into her food delivery account

and cook the same dishes myself.

♪Living for dreams♪

In the end,

the takeout she ordered

was replaced with my own cooking.

♪Fighting for things...♪

I ordered a lot of takeout.

Do you want to eat together?

No.

♪Hold out your fragile paper heart♪

♪Hope for the first time♪

♪It will start to heal all on its own♪

I would quietly eat

the portion she ordered.

Good thing she did not eat this.

Hi, I am here to pick up the cake.

So you are the one who ordered the third wedding anniversary cake.

What a coincidence.

Your anniversary is on the same day as mine.

Wishing you both lots of love and sweetness.

♪When help eludes you♪

♪Call on love…♪

And to you as well.

Happy third anniversary.

I also tried, in my own way,

to create a sense of ritual between us.

Now I am certain you really do not have any friends.

That stubborn mouth of yours just refuses to speak.

Seems like I am just as bad at saying things myself.

If you cared about her that much,

why did you ever suspect she was cheating?

Maybe I really was out of my mind.

When I saw those photos,

I could not stop myself from wondering

who was the one by her side,

making her smile that happily.

You can bottle everything up so well.

Why can't you hold it in anymore?

Are you really that afraid of ending up as scrap?

Because I

finally realized

her love was never less than mine.

Did she really cheat?

I sent you the address. Let us talk in person.

Mr. Wu.

I cannot talk right now.

I will get back to you later.

Your wife did not cheat.

She has been living around you this whole time.

It looks like she was following you.

I have sent you several video clips.

[Sunset Cafe. Monday, 12:35 PM]

Sorry about that.

This dish was for another table.

You ordered the same thing, so I mixed it up.

Miss, here is your meal.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

Happy New Year.

Honey.

Happy New Year.

I'm sorry.

Qi.

We've already wasted too much time.

From now on,

can we be honest about how we

really feel?

We've reached a conclusion.

Tomorrow, we'll go to Yin Che and get the fragment.

My place is nearby.

Why don't you go wash your face?

Inviting me over late at night,

then asking me to use your bathroom.

That makes it easy to misunderstand,

like you're trying to start something ambiguous with me.

I'm just

being considerate toward a colleague.

So are you coming?

Yeah.

Thanks for putting up with all this today.

I'll send you the fragment later.

Then

we'll head out first.

Let's go.

Alright.

Let's pack up too.

Time to go.

Xie Xinxu.

Sit in the chair.

Because from this moment on,

I'm going to judge you.

Those vitamins you've been taking lately are pretty strong.

They can even treat emotional deficiency.

[Emotion Emotional Supplement]

So after taking them for so long,

have you noticed any effects?

At first, seeing you soaking in the bathtub,

clearly in pain,

my heart felt this strange pull,

like it was suddenly tugged.

When you accused me over Lin Juan and Li Xiang,

I felt

a heavy pressure in my chest,

like I couldn't breathe.

I was awake the entire night.

Later, in our shared dream,

for the first time,

I felt

my eyes starting to ache,

almost

like I was drowning.

When these unfamiliar sensations

started becoming

more and more frequent,

that was when I realized...

That was when I realized

what all of those feelings really were.

That night I held you in the bathtub,

and seeing you in pain, I realized that feeling

was heartache.

Not being able to sleep because you were angry with me

is called regret.

My eyes felt swollen.

I finally realized it is...

It is...

It's called sadness.

When I saw you,

hurting so badly yourself,

yet still

quietly choosing to

accept others and forgive them,

what hit me in that moment

was shock and being deeply moved.

When I saw

you with Lin Juan,

when Lin Juan got close to you,

that sharp, unpleasant feeling inside me

turned out to be

jealousy.

It is pretty childish.

Every time I held you,

every time I kissed you, that...

That...

That sudden rush of my heartbeat

is called falling in love.

So it turns out

these feelings do not actually require sincerity.

Just taking pills can produce the same result.

Then you should keep taking them,

keep taking them

until the day I no longer like you.

So...

So are you

confessing to me right now?

Yes.

Then about continuing to take the pills,

can you really do that?

But I do not want to take them any more.

Men are always like this.

Once they get what they want, they stop pretending.

Let me finish.

Stop crying.

I do not want to hear it.

Just listen to me.

I do not want to take the pills. It is not because I am done pretending.

It is because

the pills I took from the very beginning

were nothing more than ordinary vitamins.

Yes.

I did go to Mr. Ding for medication to simulate emotions,

but he gave me the wrong one.

If you do not believe me,

you can test it yourself.

Check what is actually in these pills.

I am serious. I did not lie to you.

Really.

Then

how did your emotional deficiency get better?

How did it heal?

Couldn't it be that

you were the one who healed me?

Because you...

Because you truly are so remarkable that

you make me feel small by comparison.

I cannot resist your energy.

All I can do is

be changed by you.

Then if I changed you,

you came out ahead.

Your bedtime milk.

My blueberries.

Is this the fragment Yin Che sent over?

Yes.

Take a look.

I did not expect we would get the fragment

without spending a single cent.

Now we have two fragments.

Let us extract the data and study them.

I want some too.

It is late. Time to sleep.

Let's go to sleep.

Go to sleep.

♪You smell like something strange♪

♪Like wood♪

♪Like wine♪

♪It's not a problem I can fix♪
