[First Love Again]

[Episode 23 Allergic to Love]

Vanity of vanities,

vanity of vanities! All is vanity.

Vanity of vanities,

says the Preacher,

Ye Youning,

you finally found my place.

You went to my church,

read my book.

Now,

do you know what I wish to tell

the people of the world?

I just want to destroy time machine

to recover the world.

Don't be so anxious.

Let me ask you one question first.

If you could choose,

would you still choose to modify space and time?

I don't have any choice.

I never choose a time machine.

It's me chosen by a time machine.

Whoever comes back to present from the past

will try to change.

Because a little mistake might make me be in vain

for years of hard work.

But you shouldn't try to change

what's already been lost.

The world has rules.

People have seemed to forget how to be afraid, how to bow their head.

They believe they can change everything by themselves.

This is all vanity.

Even it's all vanity, I also should try.

Everyone will fail because of their greed.

No matter, I'm a greedy man as well.

I've waited here for many years,

failed so many times.

But I still desire to persuade someone.

If you desire to go back to the past,

then go.

Everyone that got a time machine

did the same.

It's just that some were not so lucky.

Because of their greed,

they have not come to this place before finding me.

So please tell me how to destroy the time machine.

Do not think in such a complicated way.

It is just a cell phone.

All of these?

Yes. All of these are different forms of time machines.

People use them

to go to different points in space and time.

Some people go to the past, like yourself.

Others go to the future.

Do they want to

destroy it like me?

They have all tried,

but none has succeeded.

All the devices end up coming back here.

What exactly is the time machine?

How did you make it?

I have never made a time machine.

But I was chosen by one.

I don't know if it was a trial of God or the devil.

I cannot say.

But I can say this.

No one knows how the time machine comes.

No one knows why.

Now, are you ready to face it?

Sure.

Then take off your mask.

You'll go back to a time before the time machine came into being.

But complete your task quickly,

because time travel requires huge sacrifices.

Here will be your new start point

and also the end point.

Yang Chuang is sweet.

I said I want bubble tea

and here it is.

But why are we meeting in his shop?

And where is he?

He asked us to do homework together but didn't show up.

He had a fight with his dad.

Just forget about him.

I still have tons of homework left. Let's get it done quickly.

I've finished mine,

so I can relax and have fun now.

Wenxi, you can't do this to me!

Do it yourself.

You need to do it by yourself.

Stop. Just stay there.

I...

So,

how dare you copy my homework?

Let's share the homework.

Besties should help each other,

but not with homework.

No way. I won't give my homework to you.

Come on! Do it yourself!

What's wrong with you?

I'm sorry.

Wenxi, look at him.

What would you like to eat?

So handsome.

A bottle of soda.

OK.

Let me have a look.

What a nympho!

You bumped into him.

You don't even do your homework. You still have a stupid crush on him.

If I remember it correctly,

her cell phone should be

in her school bag

or her trouser pocket.

You dropped it. Go pick it up.

It's your pen. You go to pick it up.

Didn't you think he is handsome?

So I'm shy.

Thank you.

You owe me a cup of bubble tea, Gao Xiaoai.

Thank you.

Shame on you.

You owe me a cup of bubble tea.

Do your homework quickly.

Isn't he handsome?

I saw nothing. Do your homework quickly.

If you don't stop with all this, I won't wait for you

I've finished mine.

Do it yourself. I won't let you copy mine.

When did I drop it?

I don't know.

Well, where did I drop it?

You wish.

Is he a thief?

Electronic watch with calendar. Take a look.

That is obviously Xia Wenxi's phone chain.

Why are there keys on it?

Am I in the wrong space-time?

Look at my phone. What happened to it?

I just had it fixed this morning.

Now it's not working again.

She said the phone had just been repaired in the morning.

What about now?

Electronic watch with calendar. Take a look.

Because time travel requires huge sacrifices.

So this is the sacrifice.

Fire! Help!

Where's on fire?

The fruit shop. There! The fruit shop.

Boy, are you okay?

I'm fine. Help them. Go!

Sir, the seaside, please!

Why does the time go faster and faster?

Long time no see.

Long time no see.

You can ask me questions.

Who are you?

What a good question.

Who am I?

Of course, I'm Xia Wenxi.

Xia Wenxi.

In 2006 or 2019?

Are you my high school classmate,

my girlfriend,

or my wife?

I'm all of them

but none of them.

I'm the one in your memory.

Can I continue?

Sure.

Where are we now?

In your memory.

Isn't your memory always overlaid?

But every time

you see only a few fragments.

You don't see it all.

Can you be more specific?

Can't you see?

It's 2006 and we are in college.

Why are we in 2006?

What do you think?

I feel that

now is my happiest moment.

Why do you look so serious?

Aren't we still here?

Where are we now?

You forgot!

This is the 17th day since we were together.

I went on business at that time

and called you every day.

I see.

Hold on.

We're so close now.

Why call?

Because some things are different

only on the phone.

For example,

I recently met a new friend.

It's a red cap of a mineral water bottle.

I say hello to it

every time I see it.

It always lies

next to a red morning glory.

I think it's cute

because it must take itself as a flower.

Zhou Zhihua,

how dare you call for money?

If you continue...

Youning?

Youning?

Zhou Zhihua, where are you? I'll come over.

Youning?

Look at you, why are you such a troublemaker?

The time tunnel is coming to an end.

So fast.

I feel we are all in memory now.

As long as you can mix a little new memory,

We can...

We can stay a while longer.

Mix memory?

Is this a blind date show

that you watched before?

It's actually a science show

about gravitational waves and butterfly effect.

But this is the first time for me to mix memory.

I don't know

why it's so weird.

I don't know if it works.

I think it's good.

Welcome to the Talk About Your Heart.

Today, we have

a very special couple.

Mr. Ye and Miss Xia.

The most special point about the couple is

they're lovers across time and space.

For the program effect,

we also connected

Mr. Ye and Miss Xia in 2006.

What kind of spark will there be when the four of them meet?

Let's wait and see.

I heard the couple in different years are dating at the same time.

So the two space-times influence each other

in 2006 and 2019.

Let me ask Mr. Ye in 2019 first.

Is there a moment

when you are most angry with yourself in 2006?

Too many. It will take days to tell all of them.

He doesn't listen to me.

He neither wanted to take part in the basketball game

nor to see the meteor shower.

He went in the end.

It's a waste of time.

It's all due to

your modification.

You asked for it.

What would you say

to yourself in 2006?

Focus on your study. Don't fall in love.

You made so many mistakes.

In the end, I have to make them right.

What's the use of your modification?

You hurt her in the end.

All you do is deceive Xia Wenxi

in the name of helping me.

In fact, you just want to get your life

back on the right track.

If I had known this would happen,

just come at me. Why so complicated?

Look at his attitude.

That's why I didn't ask

Xia Wenxi to give you the time machine.

If you knew

she would become a best-selling writer,

instead of a little fool,

would you be in such a hurry?

You're not allowed to criticize her.

As long as it's her,

there's no difference

between a best-selling writer and a little fool.

Miss Xia in 2006 and 2019,

what do you think of it?

I support Ye Youning in 2006.

Me too.

I just hope to have a better future.

I'm not wrong.

You heard what he said.

It's me who helped him in the end.

It's hard to tell right from wrong.

Let's change the question.

Miss Xia in 2006 and 2019,

what do you want to say

to Mr. Ye in 2019.

We'll meet again.

I'll be waiting for you.

Who are you?

Wenxi,

are you OK?

You had a nightmare?

I...

I dreamed...

I dreamed I was sleeping.

Then the alarm clock suddenly rang.

But I can't turn it off.

And all the hands on the alarm clock

were spinning wildly.

Then I suddenly fell into a black hole

from my bed.

There was nothing there

until a very strange man

appeared.

He was leading my way.

But when I walked out of the hole,

he suddenly disappeared.

Is it because of your long flight?

Maybe.

But I feel like

I know the person in my dream.

Who is he? Do you remember anything?

I didn't see his face.

Don't worry.

It's just a nightmare.

You're almost home.

Go home and get some rest.

Why am I suddenly so sad?

How are you doing?

Tell me.

Don't talk nonsense.

Dad. Mom.

-Wenxi. -Wenxi.

Bad girl.

My girl.

Let me have a look at you.

Come on.

Be careful.

Come on in.

Thank you for picking up her.

Don't mention it. It was on my way.

Uncle, any slippers?

No need to change. Come in.

We're cooking.

Let me help you.

We really miss you.

You're back finally.

Every time you go out, you will be unreachable.

And you don't contact us either.

I often work in some remote areas.

There's no signal.

But when I received your messages, I replied.

Stop it. Don't I know enough of you?

You must have blocked

me and your dad.

How did you know that?

Look at you and your boyfriend.

You are big-mouthed.

You kept telling fibs to my mom, didn't you?

Don't blame Xiaoai.

I'm glad to have Xiaoai and Tingting

be with me.

Otherwise, I would be lonely.

Where is Tingting?

I know you don't read the messages in the group.

Tingting is in Shanghai.

She'll be back tomorrow.

She has a new boyfriend?

Shanghainese.

Xiaoai.

The dinner is ready.

Stay

and have dinner with us.

OK.

-Come on. Have a taste of my cuisine. -Come on.

You haven't eaten my meal for a long time.

Have some meat.

This meal is almost finished.

Let's talk some business.

All right, mom. I know what you're going to say.

I don't want to hear it.

I haven't said yet.

How do you know what I'm going to say?

Jiaqi,

you know,

Xiaoai and Yang Chuang

have been married for years.

Tingting has a boyfriend.

It's just you and Wenxi who are single.

Your mom has mentioned it many times.

She really worries about you.

You have to hurry up.

OK. Auntie.

I just got back

and you started nagging about this.

I'm OK even if you let me finish this meal first.

Aren't you almost finished?

Besides, I'm talking about Jiaqi, right?

Jiaqi, you have to hurry up.

I will.

Jiaqi,

you and Wenxi...

Uncle, as you like.

What are you talking about?

Didn't you tell me

you have something to deal with, right?

Aren't you in a hurry?

Uncle. Auntie.

I'm going back to work.

Jiaqi, stay a little longer.

Right.

It's OK.

Don't delay him.

Thanks for dinner.

Hurry up.

Don't be late. Come on.

Why are you still sitting here?

Go to see him off.

Right. Go! Hurry up.

Hurry. He's going to walk away.

I'll go with you.

Xiaoai, sit down.

Drink with us.

Come on.

Let's have a toast.

All right. I'm leaving.

Jiaqi,

I'm sorry

for bringing up you again.

It doesn't matter.

But honestly,

you don't consider me?

Come on.

Didn't we make a deal?

We are united against our parents.

I'm joking.

What are you nervous about?

I'm leaving.

Bye.

How is it going?

What do you mean?

You know what I mean.

You spent all your savings and went out for half a year.

Are you feeling better?

Not bad.

I found that

as long as I don't fall in love, I'll be fine.

That's weird.

Why does your love

come to no good?

How do I know?

Maybe falling in love with someone is not my thing.

I am fit to die alone.

Don't curse yourself.

Don't curse yourself like that.

This is not a curse.

To be honest,

It's really good to die alone.

Why don't you try?

I'm happy with where I am.

But honestly, Wenxi,

why do you feel uncomfortable

every time you fall in love?

I don't understand either.

But it's true that once I fall in love

I always feel like

my heart is incomplete.

I feel empty.

The more intimate the relationship is, the more afraid I am

and the sadder I am.

The mushroom soup here is good.

Mushroom soup.

Don't cry. We won't eat mushroom soup.

Forget it.

Dating

is probably not my thing.

Maybe there is a group of people

in the world

who are allergic to love.

It's like

being allergic to pollen

or mango,

right?

Being allergic to love.

Does it exist?

Why are you still watching TV?

Hurry to the balcony and pick up the clothes.

Bring back the succulent plants.

Hurry up!

Wait a minute. Let me turn up the TV.

by the explosion of a heavy binary star

-120 million light-years away from Earth. -What is the news talking about?

Relevant research on gravitational waves

will be of great significance

to human exploration of space-time travel.

Gravitational wave will cause space-time

to change over a long period.

For example,

at two different places on the earth's surface,

the speed of time

may become different.

In physics,

gravitational wave means ripples in the curvature of space-time travel

outward from the source

of radiation through wave patterns.

This kind of wave transmits energy

in the form of gravitational radiation.

Wenxi.

In other word,

gravitational wave is a kind of matter wave...

Wenxi.

generated from the strenuous exercise and changing

of matter and energy.

Wenxi.

Why don't you date Jiaqi?

Anyway, you're both single now.

How come you even try to persuade me?

It's impossible for me and Jiaqi.

Never say never.

Look at me and Yang Chuang.

We are like siblings.

How could we be lovers?

And I don't want to spoil our friendship.

Don't be so stubborn.

Youning is coming home from school.

Grandpa.

Grandpa, why did you come out by yourself again?

It's grandpa Zhou. Hurry to check him.

Youning is not here, grandpa.

It's going to rain.

You can't come out alone.

It's going to rain. I'll send him an umbrella.

Youning is abroad. Don't worry about him.

He's in high school. How come he goes abroad?

Let's go.

Grandpa, be careful.

Grandpa.

Grandpa.

Be careful!

Grandpa, are you okay?

I'm going to send

Youning an umbrella.

Yang Chuang, what's the matter with you?

Didn't I tell you

to take care of Grandpa?

You can do nothing right.

I intended to look after grandpa.

But you don't know what happened.

Suddenly there was a loud noise.

Just like it's haunted.

According to the latest observation data

released by the Antarctic Observatory,

a powerful gravitational wave

will reach Earth in the next few days.

The gravitational wave is caused

by the explosion of a heavy binary star

120 million light-years away from Earth.

Time to go home.

Relevant research on gravitational waves

I'm going to find Youning.

will be of great significance

I'm going to find Youning.

Grandpa.

Come on. You lie whenever something happens.

Help grandpa go back quickly.

Grandpa, let's go home.

Let's make dumplings for Youning.

Make dumplings?

Make dumplings.

Right.

Look out, grandpa.

Watch the steps.

Let's have a rest for a while.

No way.

Take grandpa to wash up

to see if he was hurt.

OK, I'll take him to the washroom.

Wenxi, let's get some clothes.

Wenxi, help me fold my clothes.

Xiaoai,

what's the matter with grandpa?

I feel something is wrong with him.

In the last half year since you left,

grandpa became more and more confused.

He always ran out

and couldn't recognize anyone.

He cried for Youning all day long.

Youning?

Youning is his grandson.

He was our classmate

but didn't talk to us much.

You should not remember him.

But why didn't he come back?

Considering grandpa's situation, won't he come back and have a look?

He was supposed to come back.

Something happened.

He died.

What a poor guy.

He paid Yang Chuang and me

for taking care of grandpa.

But he is dead now.

I don't know how to tell grandpa

but only keeping his death from grandpa.

Wenxi, what happened to you?

I'm fine. I...

I suddenly got angina again.

Let me take you to the hospital, OK?

Let's go now.

No need.

I've been to the hospital many times.

I'm fine now. It's just a moment.

How did you get this disease?

Xiaoai, go and buy iodophor.

We don't have any at home.

Grandpa broke his leg a bit.

It's all your fault.

Are there other wounds?

I've checked.

It's not serious.

There's no other wounds.

Let me go to buy it?

You go back and collect clothes.

No, you have angina.

Take a rest. I'll go.

Ye Youning.

Sit there. It's not occupied.

All right.

Let's start.

Ye Youning,

come over here. Join us.

About Ye Youning,

in my memory,

he had always been alone.

He didn't communicate with anyone

and only knew study.

After graduation, he went abroad.

He and I had no connection.

But seeing his picture,

why do I feel so familiar?

Wenxi,

what are you looking at?

Yang Chuang.

Why is

the phone here?

It was picked up

by grandpa on the beach.

I don't know

why he cares about it.

No one is allowed to touch or take it.

I'm going to help grandpa get changed.

Why did grandpa pick up

the phone I threw away a decade ago?

Why did it turn on by itself?

Who are you?

Who are you?

2019

You come from the future?

2006

You come from the past?

Wenxi, what are you doing with the phone?

Xiaoai,

isn't this the phone I used before?

Isn't it lost?

I just wondered why it is so familiar.

Grandpa is quite good at collecting things.

There is something strange in it.

Something strange.

Take a look.

Something about the past and future.

The messages are

from 2006.

The key is that it mentions me.

Could it be written by Ye Youning before?

No wonder grandpa

got the phone back.

How did Ye Youning

get it?

No, I think there must be

something that I have to figure out.

October 15, 2019.

Isn't it tonight?

It's not evening yet.

It must be a prank.

Xiaoai, can I take away this phone?

Take it, it's yours anyway.

But don't let grandpa Zhou see it.

OK.

Xiaoai, come and help me.

Coming.

Basketball game.

Mayday concert.

Forest farm.

I have mostly done these things in the message.

But the details in the message

is quite different from reality.

But why do I feel

these things are inexplicably familiar.

On December 21,

when the meteor shower came,

Wenxi fell off the cliff suddenly.

Because I didn't protect her,

I'm very painful.

Watching her stay unconscious,

I hate myself so much.

I hope it was me.

She finally woke up.

But she can't see anything.

Why don't you turn on the light?

She's upset.

Why is this happening?

I must figure it out.

I want her to live healthily.

If we didn't see the meteor shower,

[The sky is blue and clear, I'm sitting in a car...]

maybe nothing would happen.

I found Wenxi's wish list.

She wanted to see the meteor shower

because she didn't go to see it

with Ye Youning at 18 years old.

So she feels regret.

Tell little Xia Wenxi to

go to see the meteor shower with Ye Youning.

Modified successfully.

Seeing her in healthy condition,

I'm still fearful of

losing her.

I don't want to wait anymore.

I want to propose to her.

I want to protect her forever.

Will you marry me?

Yes!

She agreed.

I hugged her tightly.

But this joy didn't last long.

They said Wenxi was dead.

Why did I push her farther

instead of saving her?

She told me

the story of the priest changing time and space to save his lover.

I suddenly understood.

This is the punishment of time and space.

But why was she punished?

I changed the time and space.

I did all this.

I must save her anyway.

Even if it made me die.

I went back in time

and pushed her away with all my strength.

The 39th modification.

If I never come back,

Wenxi, I love you.

[Episode 23 End]

Grandpa.

Grandpa.

Grandpa.

I found you finally.

Why are you here alone?

We are all worried.

How dirty it is.

Hurry up and throw it away.

I can't throw it away.

I can't.

Youning?

Youning?

Youning.
