He Ran's caretaker

is here,

at my doorstep. What should I do?

What?

What is she doing?

Hold on. Let me take a look.

Let me take a picture for you.

She looks quite anxious.

What should I do?

Help me, just think!

No, I definitely won't see her.

I had our maid tell her

I wasn't home

and neither was my whole family.

Besides,

my aunt and uncle are both abroad.

They are definitely not at home.

I'll hang up now.

I need to hide.

Xiao Han.

Yes?

Here. Carry this for me.

Come on.

I'm exhausted.

(Haircutting, perming and colouring) I'm exhausted.

(Haircutting, perming and colouring) I carried it all the way

(Haircutting, perming and colouring) from Flower, bird and fish Market.

Also,

help me see

if it's okay.

Why isn't it moving much?

It's probably drying out due to the heat.

I'll change the water.

Xiao Han.

Let's give this fish a name.

Let's call it Ran

or Ranran.

Isn't your cat's name Zaozao?

Both are reduplicative words.

But you have to keep an eye on your cat.

Keep it away from the fish.

Don't name animals so easily.

Once it has a name,

they'll behave differently.

With a name, comes an attachment.

Then why does your cat have a name?

It's not my cat.

But it's your fish now.

Okay.

I'll pick it up later.

It's a long journey.

I think I'll stay overnight.

It's okay. I'll do my best.

Bye.

Are you going out tomorrow?

I'll run some errands in the countryside.

Take me with you.

Okay?

No.

Why?

You rejected me at the drop of a hat.

You are very demanding.

I've grown accustomed

to rejecting it.

I'll give you some time

to think about it.

- Okay? - No.

As I said, you are so demanding.

I can't think of

any more reasons to say no to you.

No means no.

Yu.

Yu.

Was Ran really

not with you these two days?

Hands off.

What are you doing here

in broad daylight?

Stop it. This is my home.

We have Tibetan mastiffs.

Let go.

Sorry.

I was so anxious

that I pulled your hand.

Was Ran really never here?

Yes.

Listen.

I don't know anything about her.

We're obviously not close now.

I have to go.

Wait.

Listen.

Don't you ever loiter in front of my house again.

It's not good if people

see you like this.

It'll also ruin my reputation.

Wait, Yu.

Xiao Ran is...

Did you know that Ran

has recently made a new friend out there?

Do you have the address?

Why don't you tell me and I'll go find it myself?

Then I won't have to bother you anymore.

Hands off.

Listen.

I don't know.

I don't know anything about her.

No way.

Yu.

Think again.

Where on earth is Ran?

Fatty.

What are you doing?

I'm unloading the truck.

What can I do for you?

Xiao Han asked me to come and get the car keys for him.

Yes, he told me.

Why did you come instead of him?

He was busy. So he asked me to come and get it.

I see.

Tell him

I've filled up the tank.

You know what? Xiao's truck

may be rusty and shabby,

but it's a great loader.

That's all it is good for.

Your child has run away

and you need to get her back.

(Your "child" has run away) Of course, you can choose

(Your "child" has run away) not to look for her.

(Your "child" has run away)

But she took your car keys.

If you can't find her,

you won't be able to go to the countryside.

(Haircutting, perming and colouring)

Here's a little tip

to help you find her.

Do you still remember the place

(Here's a little tip.)

(Here's a little tip.) where you first met her?

(Here's a little tip.)

♪The breeze blows slowly. I'm touched♪

♪I also want to hold on to your hand tightly♪

♪I hold you as we watch the sunset♪

I'll put this here.

Xiao Han, long time no see.

By the way, some time ago

a girl came here looking for you.

I asked her to go to Xiaozhou Village.

Did she find you later?

Yes.

I knew it.

She didn't even know your name at the time.

But I could tell by

the look on her face

that the man she was looking for

was definitely you.

(Second encounter. She dropped a thing.) was definitely you.

(Second encounter. She dropped a thing.)

(Second encounter. She dropped a thing.) Second encounter.

Have any customers

left anything behind today?

- Yes. - Like what?

Xiao, you're here. Let's play a round.

Was Ran here?

Yes.

She left a pair of scissors.

What are you two doing?

She's not going to do something silly, is she?

Thanks.

Thank you.

Keep your hands away.

I'm driving.

Hands off.

I knew you wouldn't stop.

What else do you want? Just tell me.

Stop smiling.

The highway is perilous.

You have to sit properly. Do you hear me?

No.

My seat is too high. It's uncomfortable.

There is a handle next to your seat that can be adjusted.

I can't find it.

It's under the chair.

It's not there.

Lie back.

Is this okay?

This is too low.

I can't see anything.

It's not like I'm sleeping.

Hurry up. My back hurts.

Okay.

How about this?

No. This is like lying flat.

A little higher.

Like this?

I think it's still a bit far.

Why do you want to sit so high?

It's good for my waist.

Like this?

Closer.

More?

I think this is the right distance.

He Ran.

Adjust it yourself.

I can't adjust it.

Sit properly.

Okay.

It feels good to be free!

Xiao Han.

You are here.

I knew you were coming today.

I thought I'd have all the flowers

ready for you yesterday.

But look at the weather,

it rained hard

all day yesterday.

I could not get out.

If we were to go picking today,

the challenge factor,

the road conditions

would be difficult for us.

If you're not in a hurry,

I've prepared a place for you to stay.

Stay here for two days.

I've cleaned it up.

And since it's sunny,

the ground is drying out quickly.

I'll pick the flowers and load up the truck.

When I'm done, you just take off

and save yourself the trouble.

- Okay? - Sure.

We will stay here for two days

and wait for her to bring the flowers.

No trouble at all.

I'll go down to the field with you to pick them,

so we can finish today.

I'm leaving tonight.

All right then, as you wish.

I'll go first,

okay?

Come along later.

What a great place

to stay for two nights.

Besides, I've never stayed

in a cabin like this before.

No.

Then I'll go with you to pick flowers.

It's all muddy here.

Don't get down.

Just stay in the car.

I don't want to.

Then,

you

play with the dog. I'll get going.

The dog?

Xiao Han.

Why aren't any of

the flowers you bought blooming?

It is not the right season yet.

Then why do you buy them?

I don't even know what kind of flower it is

or what it looks like.

You will know.

What is this place?

Why are there so many surfboards?

It's a surfboard shop that Fatty used to run,

He closed it down when business got bad.

These surfboards didn't sell.

So

they're just sitting here as decoration.

But these surfboards are so pretty.

Why didn't they sell?

There are a lot of these equipment stores near the beach.

The competition is fierce.

Fatty said he didn't know much

about this area either.

He was just following the trend

and wanted to make money when he saw people opening businesses.

Then, within a few months, it ended up closing down.

So he went to Xiaozhou Village

and opened that restaurant, right?

Later?

Later,

he ran an auto repair shop,

worked in the seafood business

and contracted construction jobs.

He has engaged in many small businesses.

The restaurant in Xiaozhou Village

was run by his wife for him.

By the way,

I've booked a room for you in a homestay next door.

You'll sleep there at night.

We'll leave

when we get the flowers tomorrow.

I will sleep here tonight.

Xiao Han.

This is the first time

you've shared that much with me.

I used to

hear all your stories

and gossip from others.

So you can talk about such daily things, too.

I'm just an ordinary person.

I think you are very mysterious.

That's because you're too far away from my life.

Do you want to take a shower first?

No.

You look so dusty. You go first.

Rest here for a while.

I'm done.

Do you want to shower here or at the homestay?

I kind of like it here.

I'll take a shower here.

Why are you looking at me like that?

You have a nice body.

Go and take a shower.

Xiao Han.

I put a bottle of beer for you here.

Remember to drink it.

Drink it within 30 seconds for best taste.

He Ran.

What does this stone look like to you?

I find that

my stone and your stone together

look like a heart shape.

However,

this seems longer.

This is good enough. Doesn't it look like it?

Yes.

You're always right.

Look at them.

So childish.

Aren't they sound corny?

Listen. They're the childish ones,

not me, okay?

Xiao Han, what are they looking at?

Come here.

Let's go. He's called us.

Come on. Let's play together.

What is this?

Don't touch it.

I just want to touch it.

It's so pretty.

Why can't I touch it?

Pretty things are usually dangerous.

So you're saying that

good-looking women are dangerous too?

Jellyfish aren't women.

Jellyfish are called Shuimu. [*Referred to Sea Goddess]

Why aren't they female?

Jellyfish aren't male either.

Some jellyfish are hermaphroditic.

What other creatures

besides jellyfish are hermaphroditic?

Sea flatworms.

What are sea flatworms?

So they are also

pretty creatures.

Yes, also poisonous.

Sea flatworms

fight to decide

who will be the father and who will be the mother.

Is that so?

Most sea flatworms

don't want to take on the role of mother

because the mother uses

many times the energy of the father.

So they have to feed constantly

to keep their energy pumping.

Unlike the father,

it can

roam freely

once it's finished mating.

Such a scumbag.

You can say so.

So how do they fight?

Check it online.

Rest early.

We have to leave early tomorrow morning.

You're so behaved today.

I've been so well-behaved today.

Can you give me a reward?

You just won't stop, do you?

Go back and rest.

What's wrong?

Missing me so soon?

You forgot your bag.

See you.

(How sea flatworms fight?)

Xiao Han.

You knew I was coming over.

How did you know?

How can you know everything?

Is there anything you don't know?

Are you hungry?

I'll take you out for a snack.

I'm not hungry. I ate a lot during dinner.

What would you like to drink?

No, thanks.

Xiao Han.

How come all you do is eat and drink every day?

Are you raising a pig?

Can you have some fun?

Fun.

What are you

trying to do again?

I want to go upstairs to see the stars.

It's cloudy today. There are no stars.

Just take me upstairs.

I want to see the stars.

Xiao Han.

Let's share it.

Actually,

I just want to stay with you for a while.

It's a meteor. Make a wish.

Are you stupid?

You believe everything I say.

There won't be meteors in this weather.

Do you have any wishes?

My wish

is to live longer.

Are all girls nowadays so rebellious

that they talk about life and death easily?

I'm not a rebel.

Actually, I do have

a less rebellious wish.

Would you like to hear it?
