(Promotion) Roast chicken! Roast chicken!

(Promotion) Baihe's roast chicken.

Our traditional roast chicken.

Fresh from the oven. Try it.

Take a bigger piece.

It's really tasty. Try it.

-It's seasoned perfectly. -Let me try.

I'm not going to feed you.

Roast chicken! Roast chicken!

I needed to see you.

Forget about persuading me.

I'm not going to agree with it.

I'm not trying to persuade you.

I want you to take the time off

and follow me somewhere.

You should come with me instead.

The things for the restaurant are still in the warehouse.

Come with me.

Come with me first.

I'll move them myself later.

-It won't take too much of your time. -I haven't...

Just take a few hours off.

-Where are you taking me? -We're almost there.

Come along now.

What are we doing here?

(Xilaile Band)

Why did you take me here?

I'm leaving.

Mum, just stay for a couple of minutes

since you're already here.

Just two minutes.

Come on.

Go.

Let's stop for a while.

Trombone, you entered too soon.

The rhythm will sound chaotic.

Why don't we adjust a little?

How about this?

After the accordion comes in,

the trumpet will go solo.

Our music will sound melodious

this way.

Okay?

Let's give it a try.

Rise and fall.

(Xilaile Band)

Trumpet, ready.

Everyone can come in now.

Hello, can you tell me

where your leader is?

He's inside.

You are like a fire in winter.

Your love warms my heart.

Each time you come to me quietly,

you light up my life.

Sir, what do you think?

It doesn't sound good.

I think I arranged it pretty well.

If we keep playing the same way,

it'll sound boring.

Forget about the audience.

I'm tired of it too.

What's wrong with the original song?

If you change it,

everybody will have to change it.

What's classic?

Just play how we always do.

Besides,

you made it sound bad.

How is this bad?

I think it sounds nice.

It's very nice.

It sounds extremely nice.

It's especially nice.

It's really nice.

I don't know much.

But I do think it sounds nice.

Who are you?

I've delivered the things here.

They're at the reception office.

I need the leader to sign to acknowledge receipt.

I left them at the reception office.

Give it to me.

But...

It really sounds nice.

It really does.

My name is Zheng Yingjun!

Come to our next performance!

I'll leave a ticket for you!

Okay!

(Xilaile Band)

Are you leaving again?

How long have you not washed this suit?

Don't you know how to get it washed?

Go and take your bath at the public bathhouse.

I've left your clothes on the bed.

Public?

What's wrong with you?

Besides,

no one goes to the public bathhouses anymore.

They all bathe at the hot spring now.

How about I pay for it?

It's up to you where you want to go.

Move the luggage aside.

It's in the way.

Okay.

Was it empty?

Wear this tomorrow.

If you keep wearing that worn-out suit,

people will think I abuse you.

Did you buy it at a discount from the supermarket?

Where else could I've bought it?

The quality is pretty good this time.

Mum.

Mu,

it's going to be spring soon.

I'm craving spring pancakes.

Mum.

Don't make the noodles

too hard this time.

People usually use

half of the boiling water and half of the cool water

to mix the dough.

Also,

don't make too many meat dishes.

You can make bean sprouts or shredded potatoes.

Mum.

There you are, Lizi.

Were you talking in your sleep?

I... I was...

Did I doze off just now?

It's okay, mum.

You can go to bed if you're tired.

I'm still warming the milk for Zixi.

I'll go and check to see if it's ready.

Stay, mum.

I can go.

I'll send it to Zixi.

You should get some rest.

Okay.

I'll go now.

Did I doze off?

Zixi,

mum has warmed up the milk for you.

I won't be drinking it. I'm going to bed soon.

Okay.

I'll just leave it here, then.

Okay.

Zixi.

You're going to sit for your provincial test soon.

After that,

you'll be heading to Beijing.

I can go with you, then.

I... I might not go to Beijing.

Why not?

I don't think it's necessary.

How is it not necessary?

The university and program you want to study in,

they're all in Beijing.

Don't tell me you've been studying so hard

just to study in the province.

I think studying in the province is good.

It's closer to home.

Zixi,

I think

you should consider this seriously...

Zili,

I'm sleepy.

Okay.

(Starry Sky Restaurant)

(Daily purchase details of Starry Sky Restaurant)

What are you working on so seriously?

I'm sorting things out for the restaurant.

Or else they couldn't find it

after we're gone.

I never knew

you're this attentive.

I am attentive.

I'm not like you,

who was careless and forgot everything.

You're the careless one.

You've forgotten about the thing I gave you.

What is it?

Where's the figurine I gave you?

I put it in the display cabinet downstairs.

I want everyone to admire it.

Why would you let

anyone look at the thing I gave you?

Fine, I'll take it back.

Only you can see and keep

the thing I gave you.

Understand?

Okay.

Lizi, I want to ask you something.

Lizi?

Hey, Lizi.

What's the matter?

I want to ask

how Aunt Hui is doing now.

Is she okay?

My mum is fine.

She's more stable now.

I'm glad to hear that.

I'll drop by and visit her tonight.

Compared to my mum,

I'm more worried about Zixi.

What about Zixi?

He's not taking the exam in Beijing.

Mi Lan, how about you talk to Zixi?

He'll listen to you.

Was there something wrong with my eyesight?

I saw you disappearing just now.

Your eyes were fine.

I was disappearing just now.

It happened several times before.

Why didn't you tell me?

I thought something was wrong with my eyes too.

Do you still remember the group photo we took

during the new year?

I was disappearing at that time too.

But only Yan noticed.

He also told me

that the bolide will appear in several days.

The closer we get to that day,

the more frequent

this unstable phenomenon will be.

The bolide was the reason for the time and space swap.

When I drove back here,

I saw it too.

After that, I was involved in the car accident.

Yan even took me to Tieyuan Station that day

to see if there were any abnormalities.

We didn't discover anything.

I answered an odd phone call.

What call?

(Unknown Number) It was an unknown number.

But my call didn't get through when I called back.

What did that person say?

It was static noise.

It sounded like static interference.

(Starry Sky Restaurant)

Yan,

you're here.

I'm making you guys some coffee.

Here.

We should cherish our last moments together.

Mi Lan.

Hi, Yan.

Your coffee will be ready soon.

It's okay.

I have to go out for a while.

Say,

aren't you going

to tell Mi Lan?

Except for you,

we don't plan to tell anyone.

We don't want to affect the people here.

Just take it as a secret among the three of us.

All right, then.

Oh, I've already confirmed.

The time of the bolide passing over the northeast

is around the early morning of March 1st.

Are you ready

to go back?

I may have known you for several months.

But I feel reluctant

that you're leaving.

I don't know

whether I'll see you guys after you leave.

The Zheng Daqian you know will come back.

Why are you worried about the one I know?

I'm sure you've been enduring her for months.

After she comes back,

both of you must live well.

Yan, I have something to ask.

What is it?

When we took the group photo during the new year,

did Zheng Daqian disappear for a bit?

Yes.

I thought something was wrong with my eyes.

When I asked Aunt Hui for the photo,

I noticed Daqian looked blurry

in the photo.

Lizi,

did it happen to you?

I...

I never noticed if it did.

I'll pay more attention these coming several days.

I want you guys to pay attention to me too.

If you leave,

what will happen to this restaurant?

Uncle Yan is leaving.

How could we forget

about hiring a new cook?

(Vacancy. Cook Wanted. Salary Negotiable)

(Vacancy. Cook Wanted. Salary Negotiable) Lizi.

(Vacancy. Cook Wanted. Salary Negotiable)

(Vacancy. Cook Wanted. Salary Negotiable) What's your plan

(Vacancy. Cook Wanted. Salary Negotiable) after you guys return?

(Vacancy. Cook Wanted. Salary Negotiable)

(Vacancy. Cook Wanted. Salary Negotiable)

(Vacancy. Cook Wanted. Salary Negotiable) We can only plan after we return.

(Vacancy. Cook Wanted. Salary Negotiable)

I never asked.

What is Yan

in your universe like?

He's...

He's pretty?

He's pretty delicate.

Really?

Yan.

Daqian told me

she answered a call

when you were at Tieyuan Station.

Did you listen to the call conversation?

No.

She hung up soon after.

Okay, I'll see you around.

I'm going to work.

Okay, see you.

Bye.

(Starry Sky Restaurant)

What did you guys talk about?

That was pretty long.

He asked me

what the Yan in our universe is like.

What did you tell him?

I said he's pretty delicate.

Daqian,

try and recall the call you answered

at the train station.

See if you missed out anything.

I couldn't hear anything but static noise.

It sounded like there were incoming calls at the same time.

Under normal circumstances,

the signal from the base transceiver station shouldn't be in a mess.

There must be some issues with your phone.

Isn't this your expertise?

Can you think of a way

to extract the sounds individually?

Then we can hear them clearly.

Okay.

Remember to record the sound

when it happens again.

How about we go to Tieyuan Station now?

What if I get that call again?

-Okay. -Let's go.

(Dongfang Art Academy)

How long are you planning on following me?

Where are you going?

I'm just walking around.

Your exam is coming soon.

How's your preparation?

I don't want to take the exam.

Why not?

It's meaningless.

What do you mean it's meaningless?

Have you forgotten what you said?

You said painting

is the most meaningful thing

and what you want to do the most.

I don't think I can draw anymore.

I know you're sad

about Uncle Mu's passing.

But you can't give up on your dream.

Dream?

I don't need it.

What did you do?

What do you mean you don't need it?

Stop picking them up.

These are rubbish and meaningless.

How are they meaningless?

Every sketch you made came

from your time and effort.

Everything you experience

is meaningful.

(Tieyuan)

Do you think she has returned?

The bolide isn't here yet.

Our universes haven't overlapped yet.

It's unlikely

for the other you to return in advance.

How did I manage to receive her call, then?

That means our universes

are approaching each other.

It's likely

she's at Tieyuan Station of the other parallel universe too.

This is the only place

we can receive her calls.

I have an audio separator application with me too.

As long as she makes that call,

we can immediately recognize her voice.

You're pretty knowledgeable.

Why don't we try it now?

Okay.

I left my phone in the car.

I'll go and get it now.

Wait here.

Hurry up.

Hello?

Hello, can you hear me?

Hello?

(Hello, is this Zheng Daqian?)

(This is Zheng Daqian.)

Yes, it's me.

I'm at Tieyuan Station. Where are you?

(The signal may be cut off anytime soon.)

(Listen to me first.)

(From your time,)

(March 1st)

(will be the day of the bolide.)

(We'll be able to return to our own universe.)

What should we do to return?

(You must ride K268 from Tieyuan Station.)

But K268 has stopped operating.

(But not in this universe.)

(You must ride it.)

(We don't know)

(if there's another chance if you miss it.)

Okay.

What about Mu Zili?

How are you guys doing over there?

Hello?

Hello, can you hear me?

(Mu Zili)

(was in an car accident several months ago.)

(He's gone.)

Daqian, I've got my phone.

What's wrong?

I answered her call.

What did she say?

She said I must ride K268

on March 1st

when the bolide appears.

Really?

Then...

Does that mean we can go back together?

What else did she say?

Did she say anything else?

Nothing else.

Let's go back now.

But...

I noticed

you look bewildered

after taking her call.

What are you thinking about?

Daqian.

I asked what you're thinking about.

Oh, nothing. I wasn't thinking about anything.

Say,

Zheng Daqian from this universe

has been contacting you.

So logically speaking,

Mu Zili from this universe should have known

about parallel universes too.

Am I right?

Did Zheng Daqian from this universe

mention about the other Mu Zili?

I mean me.

How is he doing

over there?

She...

Well...

She said...

When I call her next time,

I'll ask her.

That'll be fine too.

Then

you can send my regards

to that Mu Zili.

Send him my regards.

Mum.

Zixi?

Why is the door unlocked?

What are you doing?

Mum forgot to turn off the stove when warming the milk.

Where's mum?

Mum.

Mum!

(Zili)

Her phone is here.

We must go and find her.

Where should we find her?

Let's split up.

Lizi, calm down.

We'll split up

and go to the places Aunt Hui always goes.

Dazhi, call me right away if there's any news.

Okay.

I'll search nearby the Old Street.

Huixian didn't come and see me.

Okay.

I'll call your dad now.

Okay.

Juan, watch my counter for a while.

Got it.

All right.

Please make your payment here.

Mum!

Mum!

Li Huixian!

Lizi,

is she here?

No.

I've searched all the places she usually goes.

But she wasn't there.

Where else could she go?

It's all my fault.

I should have stayed by her side

and accompanied her.

I should've stayed next to her no matter what.

It's all my fault.

It's my fault for not watching over her.

Hello, Dazhi.

You found her?

Mum.

Mum.

Mum, where did you go?

I didn't go anywhere.

Why are you all here?

We came to check on you.

Where did you go? You didn't even answer your phone.

I didn't really go anywhere.

I just went out for a walk.

After that, I ran into Dazhi,

and he sent me home.

Well, as long as you're back now.

It's cold outside.

Bring your mum inside the house now.

Go inside.

Daqian.

Dazhi,

where did you find her?

Uncle Mu's fireworks factory.

What's this smell?

What do you want for dinner?

I'll make them for you.

It's okay, mum.

You should get some rest. I'll make dinner.

Take off the apron.

Mum, wear these slippers.

Mum, I'll go and get a basin of water

for you to soak your feet.

It's okay.

Mum, just let him get it.

Go and get some rest.

Daqian is here too.

So let her accompany you.

Daqian, you should go home early.

Don't let your parents worry about you.

I'm not in a hurry to go home.

It's been a while since we last talked.

Daqian, have an orange.

Thank you, Aunt Hui.

Have some sunflower seeds too.

Okay.

Just eat anything you want.

Aunt Hui, what are you looking for?

I'm looking for the TV remote control.

So we can watch TV.

It's okay. Let's not watch TV.

We can just talk.

Mu, where did you keep the remote control?

I can't find it.

Help me find it.

Why don't you stop looking for it?

Come and join our conversation.

Listen.

Next time,

let me keep all the remote controls.

If you keep them,

I don't know where to find them.

Mum, I kept the remote control.

It's over here.

Mum, soak your feet first.

You can soak your feet while watching TV.

Okay.

I'll soak mine first. Then it'll be your turn.

I'm happy to see

both of you getting along.

Don't worry, mum.

We're getting along well.

Mum, I made bird's nest soup for you.

Get some sleep after you drink it,

okay?

Okay.

Mum, are you cold?

Is the water warm enough?

Yes, it's not cold.

(I really look forward to finding love and marriage,)

(because I think)

(my life has been)

(very smooth)

(this year.)

(So I need some setbacks.)

Mum, I'm home.

How's your Aunt Hui?

Not good.

How so?

She kept talking about Uncle Mu.

I didn't expect

Aunt Hui still hadn't come around

after Uncle Mu passed away for a long time.

Of course. They had been married for so long.

When the other one passed away,

how could she not be shaken by it?

When two people have been together for so long...

How do I put it?

It feels like

the pair of shoes you've been wearing.

They're the first thing you think about wearing

wherever you're going.

They may be old.

But it's...

It's similar

to a walking stick you lean on.

So you won't fall when you're old.

No matter how happy,

angry, or sad,

wherever you go,

it'll always be there.

Mum.

Can you stop arguing with dad?

No matter how bad he is,

he's still the shoes and the walking stick

you're used to.

Your dad?

Your dad isn't that useful.

Your dad

is just like a northwest wind

when you're calm.

He's the big puddle in front of you

when you forge ahead.

And the game, Richman, you used to play as a child.

He is the one that falls from the sky.

- The God of Misfortune. - The God of Misfortune.

Your dad

is too unreal.

Day by day,

he's ever-changing.

You're talking as if he's the Monkey King.

Enough talking.

You should go to bed.

You too.

Mum.

Good night.

Good night.

(Today, the other Zheng Daqian said...)

I can see you're still typing.

What is it that you want to tell me?

Nothing.

How's Aunt Hui?

She's already asleep.

I plan to take her to the hospital tomorrow.

If you and Zixi need any help,

remember to tell me.

We're okay.

Don't worry.

You had a long day too.

Get some rest.

Good night.

Mi Lan.

There are a lot of flowers downstairs.

Did you buy them?

Yes. Since it's going to be spring soon,

I wanted to buy some fresh flowers

to make it look like springtime.

Didn't Lizi come with you?

He's taking care of Aunt Hui at home.

If you look at him,

he may look careless.

But he's really thoughtful.

You're right.

How can a person like this

abandon his family

and leave?

Leave?

Is it about starting a business?

Oh, nothing.

Mi Lan, I'll leave you with your flowers.

I'll get back to work.

Wait.

Sit down.

I have something for you.

Open it.

What's this?

Why did you give me an onion?

It's not an onion.

This is hyacinth.

Why are you giving me a present?

Oh, no reason.

I just want to thank you.

For what?

Thank you for allowing me to own this restaurant.

I'm really happy during this time.

I feel contented.

Mi Lan, I want to thank you too.

Why?

Thank you for staying by my side all this time.

I'll keep doing that.

Daqian.

Daqian?

What's the matter?

Yan,

Lizi and I went to Tieyuan Station yesterday.

I answered

a call by the other Zheng Daqian

from another parallel universe.

What did she say?

She told me

we could switch places

at Tieyuan Station on March 1st.

Isn't that good news?

But

Mu Zili

can never come back.

He can't come back?

He died

over there.
