you will know that I'm breathing with you.

I'm with you for ever

You're sweet.

As for me, I always hate going to weddings.

Guess what I do when I get an invitation? Go traveling.

This time, A Qin wants me to be his witness.

This time I can't run. Congratulations to the wedding couple.

Congratulations! Congratulations to you both!

Thank you.

Oh, wait a moment everyone.

Who are we waiting for?

I especially invited Xiao Wu to come.

So she could see us get engaged.

Didn't she say we'd never be together?

Then I... I'll give her a call to see if she's c... coming or not.

You all start eating. I'm going to the men's room first.

Hurry up!

Come on! Cheers! Thank you

Xiao Wu

I'm very busy. I tell you, I can only give you an opinion.

I can't decide for you. If you don't want to marry Baobao

you should tell her.

But, I... I don't want to h... hurt her.

If you don't want to hurt her, take the responsibility.

M... My feelings for Baobao... Iove or not? I can't say.

But I care about her.

B... But if I have to marry her now, I... I just don't know.

A Qin, you got engaged today. What I say is not important.

Just be an adult.

X... Xiao Wu, didn't you s... say, w... we couldn't marry?

Didn't you say you're married already?

If you believe in destiny, it's real. If you don't, it isn't.

Hello? Xiao Wu? Hello?

Hello? Have you finished you call?

Baobao! Baobao!

Baobao! Baobao! Don't run!

Don't chase her. We'll go and see what's wrong.

A scene from a movie! Truly. A scene from a movie!

In your marriage space, there's a star called The 'Top'.

It means you just go round and round and never get there.

You can never make up your mind.

H... How can you help me g... get out of this?

The important thing is yourself.

The Top doesn't really exist. You created it yourself.

I created it mySELF?

You'll lose everything,

your youth, your health, friendship, your love, your life

So, you shouldn't go chasing it.

The dialogue didn't seem right -just now.

Director, I feel there's too much dialogue here.

You can use these lines.

My character's personality is pretty complex

But the dialogue is already fixed. Just do it this way.

Definitely no problem.

Is everybody ready?

Ready!

Recording?

Yili, don't keep getting in front of me.

Momo, quick, get ready with the clackers.

Yeah, they're here.

OK, everybody ready. Action!

Scene 5. Shot 1. Take 2.

Action!

The essence of life... is lost.

Xiao Yu.

A Qin

Xiao Yu. It's me.

When did you come to Beijing?

I came yesterday.

When are you going back?

I'm leaving tomorrow.

W... Why didn't you g... give me a call?

Hey, Xiao Yu.

Wait for me!

I'm finally a director. Director Liang's recommended me.

I also promised the boss I would not seek director's pay.

Congratulations to you.

Why did you take off that day?

Maybe we... maybe I always reckoned

our lives were on such different tracks.

To be suddenly that close

I just wasn't ready for it.

It was a bit of a shock.

It was quite fun too and very romantic.

Oh yes, didn't you say you had a little child inside you?

I have one too.

Has yours got a name?

No. Has yours?

Sure. Because every day she goes za-za-za in my brain.

She's got lot's of opinions, so I call her 'Zazabo'.

Zazabo?

Mmm.

Now I've already told him about you

so you'd better take note. Don't be too weak

nor too sensitive and always wanting to be looked after.

You need to look after others too. OK?

Mmm.

Zazabo told me that she knows the little boy inside you.

Let's try it again, OK?

Yes. Yes. Oooh!

They say the way to a man's heart is through his belly.

So, day two, I shopped and began to work hard at cooking.

Dinner's ready.

Lots of dishes. You're not too bad.

Too salty!

Dinner's ready.

Too bland!

Dinner's ready.

Too greasy!

Dinner's ready.

Too vegetarian!

Too much MSG!

I didn't use MSG.

Too little MSG!

I didn't use MSG.

Not cooked enough!

Too thin!

Too cold!

I just took it from the pot. It's not cold.

Too hot!

A plate of dead bodies!

What?

It's vegetarian.

Too green!

Gone off!

It's just like eating poison!

How come you don't get angry?

One day he suddenly noticed

Dinner's ready! Dinner's ready!

Come and eat!

Sweet. Sour. Sour. Sweet.

Eh, Xiao Yu. Why are you never angry with me?

You cook every day. I complain every meal. You never get mad.

Another woman would already have tipped up the table.

One New Year, my father went to hospital for three stitches.

Just because he told my mother, too much water in the rice.

What's the matter? Xiao Yu, you're so good to me.

I put up with a lot. So much, huh!

He finally realized.

And so the two of us led a happy life together.

I found out what it meant.

I used to wash clothes for one. Now I washed for two.

I even needed to pick up his socks.

Before I changed sheets once a week

now I changed them every two or three days.

But tedious as life was, there was some spice.

Baobao. Xiao Yu.

What did you call me?

Xiao Yu, of course.

You called me Baobao.

You are my little 'babe', Xiao Yu.

No. You called me Baobao.

That's NOT what I meant. I didn't CALL you Baobao.

I know I've become Baobao to you.

It's the middle of the night. I made a mistake. I know I did.

I was wrong. It's dangerous to go out.

Why did you call me Baobao?

Just a slip of the tongue. Don't be so hard on me, Xiao Yu.

Why are there two bills for three mobile phones? Why?

Aren't I with you everyday? Why don't you trust me?

It's just one more bill.

Why didn't you pay mine?

You go to pay your own each time, don't you?

Then why didn't you pay mine for me? Why?

You're too paranoid.

A Qin!

A Qin!

A Qin!

A Qin!

Here! Here! I'm here!

Silly girl. I'm here!

From there on, every time we had a fight

he'd hide somewhere where I could find him.

One day, he picked up his bag to go. I grabbed him tightly.

I'm your most important baggage

So, if you go, I go too.

After this?

Afterwards... It was when we met at West Lake a year later.

It was his birthday.

What have you got planned for tomorrow?

I'm talking to the boss about changes to the script.

But it's tomorrow. Isn't it an important day?

What's important about it?

Your birthday.

Oh.

Then, we're not celebrating it?

When we first met, it was your birthday.

Let's talk about it tomorrow.

OK.

Let's have dinner. Don't see.

Happy Birthday!

Thank you.

More? Or not so much?

A bit less.

It's great.

Your birthday present. Do you like it?

I do. Perfect to wear to go see my boss.

I'm sorry. I can't be with you tonight.

Oh, that's all right.

- Is it OK? - You're always the smartest.

Off you go.

Where to, sir?

Take your pick.

I wish I was the one saying Happy Birthday when you blow out the candles.

What do I do now?

You don't have to do anything. HaHaHa.

Anybody here? Anyone home?

What is it?

I'm from a real estate firm. Is your place for sale?

No, it's not.

You've been closed for quite a few months.

I'm not selling. Go away.

My world's crumbling. The rubble's starting to fall.

You can'tjust close down. Open up!

None of your business...

I tell you, I can't stand it.

You can't stand what?

Look at you! You're half dead. Are you going to live, or die?

Dying would be better. Life's got no meaning anyway.

No. I... I... I don't want to die. I want to eat good,

dress well, go dancing, and sing karaoke.

It's all your fault. Things were quite good with McDonald.

YOU had to mess everything up. YOU wanted to see A Qin.

Look what we've got now. We've got nothing.

Nothing left? You've still got me.

You always forget me.

Yes, I DO forget. I should've got rid of you a long time ago.

What do you want to do with me?

Don't blame me. It's not MY fault.

Wah... aa... aa. A!

Xiao Tong! I knew you'd come.

Are you still writing your autobiography?

Yes, I do, but I don't know how to continue.

You write how, after going round in circles with other men,

Came back to the same place and finally fell in love with me.

Silly boy.

I feel sorry for you. You've copped all my rubbish.

I've treated you like a rubbish bin over the past few years.

Just so long as you're happy, I'm happy too.

I feel my trip really has meaning.

Trip to where?

Hangzhou, of course. You forgetting I'm from Guangdong?

Yes, I really did.

I wrote a song. I think it's not too bad. It's for you.

You can write songs too?

I have to go back home. Maybe I'll be back soon, or maybe...

Oh, I know. Your parents want you to meet someone.

You look very mature in these clothes. Oh, I don't mean

you weren't mature before

it is just...

Let's find someone to take our photo

OK.

Since Hangzhou last year, he's been looking for something

called Portuguese Princess

Afterwards, I suddenly came across the recipe.

Oh, are you whipping cream?

That's so much trouble. Why don't you use the blender?

That's not the proper way. Have a taste. Sweet enough?

Yup.

Sweet.

Try this. Haven't you been looking for Portuguese Princess?

Oh, I forgot. Don't eat it yet. Wait a minute.

Don't eat it yet, everyone.

Now taste it. This is better, isn't it?

I ground this myself. It's West Lake Longjing teapowder.

I'll put a bit on for you.

Try it now! I found this by chance.

It's not in the usual recipe books.

Taste it. See if the flavour's right.

Mmm. That's it.

What do you think? I'm pretty good, aren't I?

Really good.

Oh! You scared me. It's you.

What happened? It's all over my clothes.

I'm so sorry.

No need to be sorry. It's no big deal.

Eh? Why isn't the shop open? Anyone here?

Are you Xiao Wu?

You must be Xiao Yu, then?

Yes. It was me who called you.

Since I was Hangzhou today, I've come to see you.

Do we have a future then?

I mean with A Qin. Do we have a future together?

Heaven has given you many destinies.

If someone's right for you, you'll definitely meet.

But if you do, you'll have to take good care of him.

You've had feelings for someone a few years ago.

How long ago?

Two years ago... at least two years ago.

Xiao Tong

I don't know who Xiao Tong is.

He's gone, but it's strange.

I can still feel he influences your life.

As long as I breathe, he breathes too.

This is Xiao Tong. He's already been gone three years.

After taking that photo, he went back to Guangdong

Afterwards, we lost contact.

One day I went to get my photos printed.

While I was waiting for them, I received his call. He said

Xiao Tong

Oh, I'm on the way to the operating room.

I told him not to make silly old jokes like that

Be a bit creative. We're in the modern age now.

I'm just getting the photo printed. You'd better come back quick.

Come back quick! I'm used to having you around.

Because it was April Fool's Day, the first of April.

Hello. What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?

He said. Xiao Yu, if I come out

Can I be the main male character in your novel?

Xiao Tong?

But he had hung up. I called back. Couldn't get through

Two hours later I received a message from him

Hello, Xiao Tong, Xiao Tong

By the time you receive this message, I will be in another world.

It was the result of the motor accident. Don't be too upset.

Nobody lives forever. When I was with you

as long as I made you satisfied, I was happy. Like everyone

I can take nothing from this world with me,

but if I gave you any happiness and caring

then my life was not in vain.

I like winter

When it snows, the road is slippery. I can hold your hand,

laugh along the way and keep you warm.

Start over again. If Xiao Tong were still living,

he definitely wouldn't waste time

Xiao Tong, Xiao Wu said she could see you

You're still part of my life. She's amazing,

isn't she? But there was one question she could not answer

I asked her why fate brought us together

only to separate us again.

I know you can't answer. You're still not as smart as me.

Oh, I've already gathered your articles from the Internet.

The publishers are very positive. Your website goes on.

Who are you? What brings you to this website?

I like it. You can say how you feel like this.

You sound like an idiot...

That's not right... very sensitive.

Are you a man or a woman?

I'm a man.

Woman.

That's good.

I can tell you what's on my mind.

Not long ago. I lost a relationship.

Wasn't she good enough?

It's me who has the problem.

A pervert?

I was unsure of myself. I was irresponsible to someone.

I don't know how to handle a relationship properly.

You know yourself very well. That's good.

After a big shock, I've begun to understand.

My girlfriend went with another man behind my back.

I suddenly realized we were both the same kind of people.

I only know love affairs. I to go from one to another.

It's called "hormonal love".

It's just hormones. The brain switches off.

So you never grow up.

Are you grown up?

It's precisely because I'm immature, I can still mature.

As Xiao Tong said, only when facing death, do you start to live.

Where do you live?

Hangzhou.

Your Hangzhou West Lake Longjing tea is excellent.

My family grows tea.

That lost love of mine also began at West Lake.

Which city do you live in?

Xi'an.

Is the girl married now?

If she hasn't, I think she'd have called me.

I told you.

How come you don't call her? I'm sick.

You ARE sick.

I broke her heart and I can't face her.

If the girl's broken-hearted, she won't call you first.

A girl's got her pride.

What if she really loves me?

Even then she won't call.

Do you feel bad?

Bad? Of course I feel bad.

We north-western men don't know much about sweettalk.

Tell me, if I go looking for her now, will she see me?

Why do you want to see her?

To tell her I'm grown up now. I decided I want to marry her.

Your proposal sounds like a confession. Really boring.

Can you give me any ideas?

Go and see her straight away. Explain to her face to face.

That's too direct, isn't it? If she won't see me,

I'll have nowhere to go.

Anyway I'm a north-western man.

A small-minded man. You say she's a Hangzhou girl?

Yes.

Ask to meet at West Lake. If she comes, you have hope.

If she doesn't come, forget about it.

Hello.

Uh... uh... Xiao Yu. Th... This is A Qin.

Uh... Wh... What do you want?

I... I'm coming to West Lake tomorrow.

Oh?

Tomorrow, at 3:00, W... West Lake. S... Same old place, OK?

Oh.

Bye.

Who are you anyway?

"Mature Bad Boy".

"Mature Bad Boy"?!

Oh, what are you doing?

I'm on the phone.

Let's play a game. Answer quickly. What colour do you like?

She knows. She's testing.

My mouth and hands must differ.

Oh, blue. (Purple)

Which animal do like best?

Dog. (Rabbit)

What season do you like best?

Springtime. (Summer)

Which city do you live in?

Beijing. (Beijing)

Beijing?

Didn't you just say you were from Xi'an?

I... I did.

How can you be in two places at once?

My body lives in Beijing,

but my soul lives in Xi'an.

How could a bastard like you have a soul?

You bloody nitwit! Creep! Scum!

You're a pervert! Thug! Layabout! Garbage-eater! Rotter!

Half-brain! Peabrain! Heartless prick!

Garbage-eater! Rotten egg!

Go ahead. Curse me. Garbage-eater! Rotten egg!

Half-brain! Peabrain! Heartless prick!

Yeah!!!

Welcome!

Hello, just a tick, be there in a minute.

Hello. Mr. Zhou, come in please.

Tian Shui, hello.

Zazabo. Come out, why don't you?

No, I won't.

Come out. Please come out.

I want to stay in here.

You can't stay there forever.

Yes, I can. I'm used to it.

I've got lots to talk to you about. I won't hurt you.

You've already hurt me. Again and again.

I guarantee it won't happen again after this.

I don't believe you.

Truly.

From now on I'll look after you and listen to you.

Whenever you need me, I'll always be there for you.

Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu. Tianshui. Xiao Yu?

Did she take her phone?

I don't know.

We had a date. I've come from Beijing to see you.

Why doesn't she answer even the phone at the shop?

I'll come for sure.

Sonny, can big brother use your phone for a bit?

I'll give it straight back to you.

My phone's been stolen. Mama, Mama!

Xiao Yu. Why don't you answer?

You called me for what?

I want to see you.

I'm in Shaoxing.

Shaoxing. Shaoxing where?

Book City.

Sonny.

Thief!

The road to Xiaoxing was a hundred kilometres.

I came up with a hundred ideas.

Xiao Yu!

Xiao Yu!

Brother, are you looking for me? I'm Xiao Yu.

You can't find it, can you? Dope.

This is the best. This is your way out.

You can come out clean.

Just go with the flow. You don't know what suits you.

You'll just hurt her again.

You are so impulse. All your life you've been mixed up.

You've never known what you wanted.

It's better not to hurt anyone.

You know, she might hurt you too.

How much money can you earn?

Lots of guys are after such a pretty girl.

A girl knows this.

She's in love... mixed up, but she'll wake up...

Is this it? Is Book City here?

No. There's nothing else. Only this store.

Right. Right. Thanks.

Mister, do you know where Book City is?

There's no Book City.

No Book City? Any other book shop?

There's only the Xinhua Bookshop.

Forget it. That's it.

Obviously she doesn't want to see you.

If you see her, all you'll get is the cold shoulder.

And it's a big world.

You're looking for a needle in a haystack.

How will you find her? Unless there's a miracle.

Miracles? I don't believe in them.

Everything is chance.

Do you want a taxi, mister?

OK.

For example, if the sun just now

was still behind that cloud,

or, the speed with which I opened the car door

wasn't the same as that of the cloud,

this reflection would not be dazzling my eyes

No.

Hi.

Buy a copy.

Oh, I'll take five.

Long ago, there was a little pig. All he could say was no.

Someone asked him Pig, Pig have you eaten?

He said no. Then someone else asked him

Little Pig, little Pig, did you sleep last night?

Again he said no. What made him the most hated was

if anyone asked him, Pig, Pig, do you have parents?

He still said no.

Have you ever heard this story?

Have you heard it?

No.

No?!

You're the little pig with no heart!

Is destiny an accident?

People's lives interconnect.

It seems the clouds in the sky and the waters of West Lake

Originally were one.

Without realizing, you influence me.

Destiny is probably just a miracle of photosynthesis

When the time is right, it's yours

My autobiography's finished. Time to get married.
