Is Island cool?

Yes.

Let's wish them a successful show.

Make some noise!

Here. He Ran.

Sit here.

Who told you to sit here?

This is a sub-centre seat.

It's for her.

Get lost.

Enough. Don't make a fuss.

I just came by to tell you

I can't stay.

No, wait.

Just a moment.

I really have things to do. I'll leave now.

Wait.

What's wrong with you?

You've been back in Qiongzhou for a month now,

yet you haven't even seen me once.

You promised to come to my concert to support me.

You didn't show up at the show

and now you're leaving

after just five minutes.

What's wrong with you?

At least I stay for five minutes.

Seriously, I have to meet someone.

I really have to go.

Who are you meeting?

A man or a woman?

A man. The cousin from last time.

Find a rightful owner

for your central position.

Stop fooling around.

Bye.

Wait, He Ran.

I get it.

Ran is deliberately provoking you.

I know women best.

The more she rejects you,

the more she likes you.

Really?

Yes.

Impossible.

You're still single yourself.

I'm single because of my face.

But I'm telling you,

I am brilliant.

Do you mean

I'm not smart?

Let's drink.

That's not what I meant.

Cheers.

How is your internship?

Boring.

Nothing to do.

I just want to find a place to sleep every afternoon

and get by.

That doesn't sound like you.

The companies that my dad found for me with his connections

all ignored me.

I did my resume and applied to a few companies.

My New Year's wish is that

someone will hire me.

You are right.

It's almost Lunar New Year.

I haven't even noticed.

I wish you a happy new year.

Why did you wish in advance?

No sincerity at all.

You should wish me well

at zero o'clock

on the night of Lunar New Year's Eve.

It's just a greeting.

Why all the trouble?

Writing and sending a message

isn't a hassle. It's called effort.

I know.

I mean

who would bother?

Someone who really cares about you.

When the old year is about to end

and the new one is about to begin,

people who think of you

will do so.

Xiao Han.

Where are you now?

At home.

Okay.

Xiao Han.

Xiao Han.

Xiao Han.

Didn't you say you were at home?

I am in my hometown.

Wait for me.

♪Cause I don't wanna lose you, lose you, lose you♪

Miss.

Where are you going?

Xiao Han, I miss you.

Do you miss me?

Put it on.

How are you?

Not bad.

You have grown up.

You've lost weight.

I'm cold.

I already gave you my coat.

But I'm still cold.

Why don't you wear more layers?

I came all the way from Qiongzhou.

I didn't know your hometown is so cold.

I'm only wearing like this

because I want to see you.

Silly girl.

This is the warmest.

Let me take you to my house.

All right.

What ethnic group is this?

Their clothes are nice.

They are Qiang people.

Qiang? Which Qiang?

Qiang flute.

"Qiang flute complains about the willows

and the spring breeze does not pass through Yumen Pass."

Have you heard this poem?

Yes.

So this is where the Qiang people live.

This is the village where the Qiang and Han people live.

Are you back together?

Is this your girlfriend?

No, she's not.

Take care.

What is your ethnicity?

I am a Han.

Too bad.

Do you like their clothes?

I have several new sets at home.

I'll bring it to you.

Do you think I will look good in it?

Han.

Will I?

Be careful.

There's a step.

What did the grandma tell you just now?

She said you are beautiful.

Dialects and Qiang language are difficult to understand.

Quanquan?

I am not Quanquan.

I am her sister, Tongtong.

Quanquan went to grandma's house.

Hello.

You're awake.

You slept the whole day

and haven't eaten.

Uncle didn't want me to wake you up

so you can sleep in peace.

Where's your uncle?

He's making dinner.

Does he cook at home?

No, he never cooked.

He cooks because you're here.

Sister, you know what?

My uncle likes you so much.

He's willing to do anything for you.

You are so sweet.

You're not sent here

by your uncle to cheer me up, are you?

No.

My uncle is not that kind of person.

I can tell by the way he looks at you.

I also know about you two in Xiaozhou Village.

Amazing.

Sister, be careful.

Thank you.

No problem.

Here.

Come on, eat.

She is my mother.

She is a Qiang.

My father is a Han.

I take my father's surname.

Hello, madam.

I'll enjoy the meal.

I've been hungry today.

Try my uncle's cooking.

Your mother will have nothing to eat. Stop it.

Thank you.

Delicious.

Xiao Han.

Why doesn't your mother say anything

and just smile at me?

She's been in this village all her life

and hasn't travelled much.

So she's not very good at speaking Mandarin.

She's afraid you won't understand.

Then you can translate for me.

Do you want to chat with her?

Eat up.

Okay, let me translate for you.

You tell her

that we're just friends.

not that you're bringing your future wife home

to meet your parents.

She mustn't get the wrong idea.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Why, are you not sure?

Okay.

I'll tell her exactly what you said.

Can I make her my wife?

We have a guest in our home.

She is a beautiful,

nice lady.

Go ahead.

She said she didn't misunderstand you

and told you not to feel pressured

since you're here as a guest.

She said there's a lot to see around here

and asked if you wanted to go for a walk.

Did you translate it correctly?

Then why is your mother looking so calm

and happy now?

Eat up.

Kid.

Did you understand

what they said to each other?

Tell me.

Did your uncle translate as I said?

He didn't lie.

My uncle never lied.

Unlike you. You don't mean what you say.

Hurry up and eat.

Eat up.

Your uncle has quite the composure.

If he does,

he wouldn't have picked you up.

Then

it's not just me

who's not speaking my mind.

He's the same.

Xiao Han

Is there no reception here?

I'd like to make a phone call later.

You need to get to the top of the hill to get a signal.

Eat up. I will take you up after you're done.

Are you ready?

Yes.

It's cold up there. Wear more layers.

I like your down jacket.

The colour is nice and it's very warm.

If you like it, you can have it.

Are you sure?

I didn't realise

you are so generous.

Then what is your most valuable thing?

Take it out and give it to me.

Hold this.

I want something valuable.

It is valuable.

What is this?

Oxygen bottle.

Why do you give me this?

This is a plateau with a high altitude.

You may get altitude sickness up there.

Bring this just in case.

You're afraid I'll run out of oxygen.

You will be there with me.

You can give me oxygen.

Wait for me.

The nearby base station is undergoing maintenance.

The signal is not stable.

I can't walk anymore.

You are too weak.

You should exercise more.

I wouldn't have bothered to walk this far

if I hadn't followed you.

I never thought

I'd be climbing a mountain for the first time in my life

to find a signal.

Slow down.

We'll be there soon.

Liar. There's still a long way to go.

It's just up ahead.

There is a signal.

Mother.

I'm hanging out with my classmates in the mountain.

Don't worry.

The signal here is poor.

I can't hear you.

Anyway, don't worry.

I'll send you photos

and messages in the next few days.

Okay.

I'll hang up now.

Bye. The signal is poor.

Xiao Han.

There is no signal in the village.

So how come you picked up

the phone right away

when I called you on Lunar New Year's Eve?

I happened to be strolling

at the top of the hill.

You've got nothing better to do

than to go for a walk on top of a hill in the middle of winter.

It can be over ten degrees below zero at night.

And there are lots of mosquitoes here.

No mosquitoes in winter.

That's not the point.

The point is

how did you know I would call you?

Was it because

you texted me?

I stopped using that number a long time ago.

How long would you have waited here

if I hadn't read that message?

One hour?

One night?

One day?

Or longer?

I'll be waiting.

Silly.

A meteor.

We can really see a meteor here.

He Ran.

In future, if you have any wishes,

just tell me.

I'd like to ask you a question.

Why gerberas?

Shouldn't you be growing roses?

It's because of the blooming season.

Gerberas bloom late.

When they bloom, the other flowers fade.

I know.

You are trying to say that...

You are my last woman.

Got it.

Xiao Han.

My head hurts.

What's wrong?

Does it hurt here?

It's okay.

It should be altitude sickness.

Where's the oxygen bottle I asked you to bring?

Inhale it and you should be fine.

I find it troublesome.

So I left it on the stool by the door.

Did you do it on purpose?

My head.

I need oxygen.

I need oxygen. Help me.

I can't believe you.

I'm out of oxygen. I'm going to pass out.

Silly.

This will make you even more hypoxic.

Sister.

You will be

the prettiest girl in our village

in this outfit.

Then you are the cutest girl

in this village.

My uncle has a good taste.

By the way,

grandma said in the morning that she has a gift for you.

A gift? What kind of gift?

Let's go. I'll take you there.

It fits perfectly.

This is not right.

No.

It's perfect.

I don't think so.

It's perfect for her.

What did your uncle say?

No.

He said it's not

a suitable gift.

Why?

Maybe he's afraid you don't like it.

Who said I don't like it?

Look how beautiful this bracelet is.

It matches my outfit.

I'll take it.

Tell your mother

that I'm grateful

and that I love this gift.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Go ahead.

Mother.

Thank you.

I

don't think

you should take it.

Why not?

It's mine now. I like it.

As you please.

I have to go out for some errands this afternoon.

Is it okay

if you stay home with Tongtong?

Sure.

Go ahead. I'll wait for you.

Aunt-in-law.

Aunt-in-law.

All the uncles and aunts in the village are here.

They want to chat with you.

Let me take you to meet them.

But I can't understand them.

Don't worry. Many can speak Mandarin.

And I can be your interpreter.

Let's go.

By the way, what did you call me just now?

Nothing.

Come on.

Don't make them wait.

Okay.

Be careful.

Sister.

These are gifts from everyone to you.

The villagers are not wealthy,

but they give you

the best things they have.

I hope you like them.

Of course.

Grandma, she is my aunt-in-law.

What do you think of her?

Very good.

Grandma, isn't my aunt-in-law pretty?

Pretty.

She's pretty.

Little sister, look.

Is my aunt-in-law pretty?

Pretty.

You are so sweet.

This is for you.

Tongtong.

Everyone is so friendly.

Do I have to give something in return?

That will be better.

Should I transfer them money

through WeChat?

No.

The villagers

don't use that kind of thing.

Is there any ATM near here?

I will give them cash.

Our customs

are different from those of your big city.

Nobody gives money.

They give items in return.

Then what can I give?

Tell me. I'll buy them.

Peanuts,

red dates, longan, etc.

It's a good symbol.

Everyone will be happy to receive it.

Okay, no problem.

Let's go buy them.

I'll give them each a gift in return.

Okay.

I'll be off.

- Bye. - Take care.

Goodbye.

Handsome man.

Congratulations.

Han, congratulations.

I wish you all happiness.

You are back.

Why do you look so happy?

Of course I'm happy.

You know what?

I really like it here.

Look at these things.

They were gifts from the people here.

They came to see me in the afternoon.

Tongtong also taught me to return gifts to them.

I've bought everything

and gave them one by one.

You returned their gifts?

Yes.

Do you want to eat this? It's sweet.

Wait for me.

Tongtong.

Tongtong.

Uncle.

Don't fool around like that next time.

Then let me explain to her.

What's wrong?

Have a baby soon!

I have something to do. I'll be out for a while.

So when are we going to have a baby?

Xiao Han.

What's wrong?

Are you asleep?

Yes.

I'm cold. I can't sleep.

Xiao Han.

Coming.

This is the goose down blanket

my mother made today.

Use this and you'll feel better.

Lie down.

Sleep early.

Goodnight.

Xiao Han.

Are you still up?

The blanket is too thin.

I'm still cold and can't sleep.

Go back to your room. I'll be right over.

What is this?

Foot warmer.

I put hot water inside for you.

It's often used

to keep the villager warm in the winter.

It should be warm in a few minutes.

Sleep tight.

Why are you here again?

It's too cold. I need to sleep.

What about the foot warmer?

It has cooled off.

I'll get you some hot water.

No.

It's late. Don't trouble yourself. Go to sleep.

What about you?

I'm sleepy, too. I want to sleep.

Don't worry.

I promise I'll just sleep

and do nothing.
