[The Best Day of My Life]

[Episode 13]

[Origin of XX, 29 August, 2011] 29 August, 2011...

Is it the day we met?

In the summer twelve years ago,

we met for the first time.

I used to think

destiny was a one-way trip

until you said

it was a circle that repeated itself

and we would return to origin

twelve years later.

Since then,

I've been expecting it.

To meet me again?

More than that.

Even if everything

repeats a million times,

I'll still choose you firmly.

I've kept everything to myself

and I'm always slow.

Because to me,

"a bet" and "a sure bet" are very different.

For you,

I want to make double sure.

Don't you have anything to say to me?

♪I don't need complicated words♪

Niannian kept asking me

if I liked you.

I denied it all the time.

♪On the day I met you♪

Even when I was jealous of Qiao Nan.

♪I just needed you to be by my side♪

I married you

but still refused to admit

that I loved you.

I'm always terrified

it's an illusion from our staying all the time.

Or it may be

my one-sided love.

♪If it's hard to know how our love will end up♪

I don't like the feeling of being uncertain.

♪You told me dreams would come true♪

So, I've been waiting.

♪Let's point to where the stars rise♪

Until you confess your love to me.

♪I want the purest love♪

Luckily...

♪To be reflected in your eyes now♪

You didn't keep me waiting for too long.

♪So, I'll get lost in nature and wind♪

♪Maybe someday or maybe somewhere♪

What are you laughing at?

Nothing.

I just recalled what Shen Yi said.

He said you were never in love before.

♪Love becomes more clear and you get to know me♪

♪There's no reason I don't kiss you the day we meet again♪

That was because of you, wasn't it?

♪On the night when meteors soar across the sky♪

♪I have no wish but to look at you without blinking my eyes♪

♪When I'm overwhelmed by memories, I'm glad I remember your face♪

♪Only the moon is a little brighter♪

♪And there are more stars today♪

Why can I not understand?

[Xu Mu] Origin of XX?

What does it mean?

What are you talking about?

You don't know this?

It's function x.

Not XX.

Didn't you learn it in junior high?

It can't be what you mean.

It must be something special.

It's just a coordinate.

Nothing special.

Trust me.

How about a bet?

If I win,

I'll decide

how we take wedding photos.

OK.

What if you lose?

I've never lost once.

Not until you win.

That's what you said.

I can't hold on.

Come help me.

What will we have for lunch?

What would you like?

Can I have porkchop soup?

Sure.

How can I cook when you stick like this?

I won't disturb you.

Go on.

Pretend we don't exist.

How did you get in?

You didn't close the door.

If we hadn't come,

you may not even detect a thief.

I forgot to close the door.

He's been in love with you

since high school?

How come he had a secret crush?

It's not like his style.

When he confessed that,

I was quite surprised.

But I thought about it

and felt

it was like his style.

So, you posted that

to reply to Xie Shi, right?

Yes.

His origin is also mine.

You married him by accident.

But turns out

you've married the man you love.

Mm.

I'll be away in a couple of days.

How about you come

and feed my cat?

Where are you going?

To my hometown with Xu Mu.

Why will you suddenly go back there?

Yesterday, he was caught for group gambling.

He pledged his flat.

It will be confiscated soon.

I'll go get my mother's stuff back.

What? Your father was caught?

Is your aunt aware?

Yes.

You...

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Why would I not be?

Come on.

Go to the living room.

I'll call you when lunch is ready.

Oh.

Here's our chef.

Enjoy.

If I didn't know

you learned to cook

when you studied abroad,

I would think

you learned it for Mu.

So, that's Xu Mu in your diary?

We grew up together.

I didn't know you did so many things

behind my back.

You're married.

What about your wedding?

We'll have big weddings.

We plan

to hold one in Jiangbei,

one in Niannian's hometown,

and one in a foreign country.

We will also invite all our classmates

from primary school to college.

We'll taste all the dishes from different places.

Our weddings

have to be grand.

Won't you be too busy?

Don't underestimate us.

Just weddings.

We can make a proposal soon.

Right?

A table of eight.

We'll just do this.

No way.

The two of them

[Wedding Guest List] can't sit together.

They had a fight in high school.

Nor can these two.

And this pair.

Arranging seats doesn't work for me.

I'll pick the date.

That will work for us.

Come on.

Look.

My mother sent me these good dates.

[Mother] March 3.

April 18.

May 1.

May 3.

You pick one.

Not March 3.

In March,

I'll have bad luck.

April 18 won't do, either.

I'll be the best man that day.

May 1.

May 3.

None of these dates will do.

How about

we don't get married?

Are you regretting it, Niannian?

Hey, you promised me.

You can't regret it.

Come on.

I'm not finished.

Be patient.

Sit down.

My point is

let's not hold weddings.

We can travel to get married.

Then we don't need to care about others' conflict

or pick a good date.

Just make the two of us happy.

You freaked me out.

I thought you would regret it.

Why would I?

By then, we will

see the Northern Lights in Iceland

and take photos in Lake Geneva.

What do you say?

We will make a vow in the church,

ride a horse on the grassland,

and have babies.

Have a lot of babies.

Who would do that?

You.

Anyone who wants babies can have them.

I'm not fed up with my free life yet.

I don't care.

Come on.

Where do you want to go?

I'll write them down.

There must be flowers.

Does your father not live here?

No.

Before my mother died, he had seldom come back.

Except for the Spring Festival.

Not to mention after her death.

But I regularly have it cleaned.

Is Fangping back?

Hi, Granny.

It's not my father.

It's me.

Oh, Xie Shi.

You're back in China?

Your father said

you were abroad with your aunt.

How's your aunt?

Is everything OK?

Everything's good.

Who's this?

This is my wife.

Hi, Granny.

I'm Xu Mu.

You're married?

Last time I saw you,

you were in high school.

How time flies!

You've been married.

You gradually

live a good life, don't you?

Now, you have a job and a wife.

If your mother knew it,

she would be so happy.

All right.

I'll leave you alone.

I should go.

Bye,

Granny.

Bye, Granny.

Come on.

Let's go pack Mum's stuff.

Only this little stuff?

Most of the valuable things

were sold by him.

What is left

is something worthless.

Is this an album?

Can I have a look?

Mum looked gorgeous when she was young.

Why do I not see you?

I don't like taking photos.

Weird boy.

Xie Shi.

Granny.

Come in, please.

I steamed it just now.

I thought you didn't have dinner,

so I brought you some.

Thanks, Granny.

Looking at the photos?

Oh.

many of his mother's photos

were taken by me.

Look at this one.

One month after she gave birth,

she wanted to take a walk.

I walked with her

and took this photo in the park.

And this one.

I'm impressed most.

I accompanied Xie Shi

and his mother to Jiangbei Hospital

and I took the photo there.

Xie Shi, do you remember?

Yes.

I went to buy something.

I was away when the photo was taken.

Xie Shi,

this is my favorite cake in childhood.

Why does this street look so familiar?

The back of the girl...

Oh, I wondered why you looked familiar.

I met you at that time.

It was Xie Shi's birthday.

We wanted to buy him a cake,

but didn't find a bakery.

Then we met you.

You need immediate treatment.

Hi, girl.

Where did you buy this cake?

On East Street.

But it's far and you need a taxi.

If you go now, it may be closed.

Too bad.

How about we buy one next time?

He doesn't care, anyway.

He has a birthday every year.

Thank you, then.

I'm sick.

I can't celebrate

too many of his birthdays.

Madam.

This cake...

You take it.

But...

I've been eating sweet food recently.

My mother said I put on weight.

Take it as your son's birthday.

Wish him a happy birthday.

This is inappropriate.

No, no.

Just take it, Madam.

Bye, Madam. Bye, Granny.

Thank you,

young girl!

Oh.

She's really a nice girl.

How about I take a photo of you?

Stand there.

I found it a pity

that my mother didn't see you.

Now, the pity is gone.

You'll have no more regrets,

Xie Shi.

All your dreams

will come true one by one.

Thank you.

Niannian?

What are you doing here?

Mu.

What happened?

You look aggrieved.

Did Shen Yi bully you?

Let's get in and talk.

I won't talk to Shen Yi these days.

He lost a bet to me

and now he denies it.

What's the stake?

How the wedding photos will be taken.

Now, he's regretted it.

I'm so pissed off.

He just doesn't love me.

It must be that case.

Maybe

it's not true.

It is.

He hasn't called me even once.

He just doesn't care about me.

Mu,

anyway,

I'll live here these days.

You must not expel me.

Fine. I won't.

Stay as long as you want.

Don't play with the phone, lying.

It's bad for your eyes.

What are you reading?

I'd like to read it, too.

It's boring.

How An Economy Grows And Why It Crashes.

If one day you have to go to an island

with only three things,

what will you take?

I will take...

Water.

Food.

And a knife.

What about me?

Your waiting for me at home

is my motivation to survive.

Mu,

I want to sleep with you.

OK.

I'll be right there.

Mm.

If I don't close the door again,

I'll go sleep with Magic Cube.

Is it sweet?

Mm.

What are you making?

Mu,

let me taste it.

Mm.

It's so sour.

Sour?

Mu,

let's go buy some strawberries.

It's too sour.

Come on.

What if Song Niannian wants you?

I came out after she fell asleep.

We're a couple.

But it feels like we have an affair.

We stay together every day.

But I feel I haven't seen you for a long time.

This is exaggerated.

You didn't miss me at all.

Only I was enduring this alone.

I missed you.

Why would I not?

I missed you all the time.

Mu?

We can't keep doing this.

Where's Shen Yi?

I tried so hard to persuade her to come.

Can you just apologize to her,

make her happy,

and get her home?

I called her, but she didn't answer.

Look. She's blocked me.

I wanted to make her happy,

but I just couldn't.

Be sincere.

Apologize for your mistake.

That's right.

It's easy to make Niannian happy.

Go ahead.

Come on.

What are you doing here?

To apologize to you.

What wrong have you done?

I shouldn't have regretted it.

I promise I'll do whatever you ask me to.

I'll all listen to you.

Are you sure?

Yes.

I'll listen to you.

Fine.

For the sake of Mu and Xie Shi,

I'll forgive you.

Let's go home, then.

What would you like for dinner?

I'll cook.

Finally, it's just you and me.

When you have time, tell Shen Yi

not to annoy Niannian.

I will.

I'll tell him someday.

Call him now.

What if someday

he annoys Niannian again

and she comes to us?

Then we'll sleep separately again.

Don't worry about them.

It's OK.

We'll ignore them.

We won't bother.

Finally, we're all alone.

Let's talk

about our business.

What business?

Something

I haven't managed to do.

Don't touch me.

Your hand is cold, Shen Yi.

Come on.

Niannian,

you forgave me, didn't you?

I didn't go back on my word.

I just tried to negotiate.

We take wedding photos once in a lifetime.

I want you to wear

the prettiest dresses

and have a wonderful sense of ritual.

Then our best moments

can be recorded.

I don't just want

casual wedding photos.

I'm serious.

Come on.

I forgave you a long time ago.

I don't hold your hand

because it's really cold.

It's no longer cold.

Here.

I know you want to give me the best.

I shouldn't have left in a fit of anger.

How about

we take photos the way you want?

Don't bother about me.

We'll do it your way.

Oh, no.

We'll do it your way

and make you handsome.

Ignore me.

Do it your way.

Your way.

No need.

When you're happy, I'm happy, too.

- Do it your way. - Your way.

What?

Are you happy?

Yes.

Starting this year,

let's come here every winter.

Love you.

No problem.

I love you.

That's not right.

You should say, "I love you, too."

No.

I love you

the way you are,

not because you love me first.

So, I'll always say "I love you"

instead of "I love you, too."

[We're married.]

Come on.

Wish you

- a happy Spring Festival! - Happy Spring Festival!

Presents.

So early?

It's not early.

The Administrative Dept just announced

the vacation would start half a day earlier the day after tomorrow.

Yeah!

Yeah!

I'll check if my ticket can be changed.

Xu.

You like macadamia nuts, huh?

Here. Take one more.

One is for you

and the other for Director Jiang.

Thanks, Mr. Liao.

Mu,

how will you spend this Spring Festival

with Director Jiang?

We...

What?

You'll celebrate it separately?

Yes.

We agreed to do this.

We can't have Aunt alone.

My parents want me home, though.

So,

we'll go back to our family separately.

Fine.

Shen Yi and I don't want to separate.

So, we'll get my parents here.

You'll take away two of my mother's mahjong partners.

She'll cry.

My mother had the surgery this year.

I'll be worried if she isn't with me.

Niannian.

I'll say no more.

Shen Yi is here to pick me up.

Bye-bye.

OK.

Do what you have to do.

When I'm back in my hometown,

I can't have you shell macadamia nuts for me.

Sounds like your parents are harsh.

I just feel

since we got married,

we've never been separated for so long.

We have no choice.

Just bear it.

If you give me a little reward,

I'll be able to bear it.

Dad and Mum,

I'm back.

Oh.

You're back, Mu.

So early.

Come on.

How come you're back so early?

Lunch isn't ready yet.

I'm not hungry.

Go take some rest there.

OK.

Look.

I'm shelling

your favorite macadamia nuts.

Have some.

Dad,

I had too many nuts yesterday.

I'll hold off on that.

You shelled them?

Oh.

Xie spoils you too much.

Then, I'll go help your mother.

Eat whatever you want.

Mm.

How's it?

I'm making soup.

I'm home.

What are you doing?

Going out.

When Aunt arrives,

we'll go out for shopping.

Where's Magic Cube? Let me see.

It's eating.

So adorable.

What are you talking about?

You look so happy.

Oh.

Xie Shi.

Mum.

Mm.

Is everything ready

for your Spring Festival with your aunt?

Yes.

Have you made dumplings?

Not yet.

We'll buy some frozen dumplings.

Oh.

That's not good.

What filling do you like?

I'll make some for you

and have Mu take them back.

I'm not picky.

Any filling will do, Mum.

Mum,

the cabbage.

Well,

I'll make some with different fillings.

You eat them

and see which tastes best.

Mum,

he isn't that picky.

He just...

Ow.

I...

I'm making some soup.

I'll say no more.

Take it back.

Oh, no.

Is my soup OK?

My mother has changed.

Now, she only cares about her son-in-law.

Her daughter is a poor little girl

that no one cares for.

Then I'll tell her

I want the cabbage filling.

That's more like it.

What's your plan for the festival?

Today, I'll go to the fair with my parents.

Then...

Tomorrow, we'll do the cleaning.

On the New Year's Eve, we'll watch the gala.

From the first to the fourth day of the new year,

we'll visit our relatives

and friends.

On the fifth day,

the annual primary school reunion.

Such a full schedule.

What about the sixth day?

On the sixth day,

I'll do something important.

What is it?

Go home

to see my husband.

OK.

See you then.

Mu,

come have lunch.

It's ready.

Oh.

I'll go have lunch.

I'll say no more.

Mm.

[On the sixth day, Mu will be back.]
