[The Best Day of My Life]

[Episode 14]

We're putting up the couplets.

What about you?

Preparing lunch for your son.

Mu.

Come have a look.

How does it look?

My father summoned me.

I'll hang up.

Let me see.

Blessing.

When we have children,

I'll take back all the money I give.

This one

is from Mrs. Jiang.

Happy New Year!

Thank you, Mr. Jiang.

And Mrs. Jiang.

All right.

Get back to work.

OK.

Hello.

Why haven't you texted me back?

You texted me?

[Xie Shi]

I was so busy chatting in the family group

that I didn't see.

I'm sorry.

Is that Xie?

He isn't in our group chat, is he?

We're a family now.

Get him in.

Did you hear my mother?

She'll get you in.

You...

Are you OK with it?

Yes.

No problem.

But I have a big family.

A little bit noisy, maybe.

It's OK.

Fine.

I'll hang up.

[Sweet Family]

What should I say?

Anything.

Make yourself comfortable.

[Xu Fei's Daughter-Fang Jianing] Aunt's husband is in.

[Xu Wenqiang] Grandson-in-law,

Happy Chinese New Year.

[Xu Li's Son-Xu Chenxin] Cousin-in-law, Happy New Year.

Mu,

[Xu Min] don't you introduce him?

Happy New Year.

I'm Xu Mu's husband,

Xie Shi.

[Xu Mu]

As time goes by,

I think more highly of Xie.

He has really a good temper.

Son,

[Xu Mu's Father-Xu Weiguo] change your nickname.

Your identity and your name.

Don't be so impatient.

He has just joined us.

Give him some time.

I can't.

My wish to call him "son"

can't wait till tomorrow.

Dad,

I've changed my nickname.

[Xu Mu's Husband-Xie Shi @Vanity Is Nothing]

He has.

Look.

It looks better now.

[Xie Shi: Happy New Year!] A red packet.

I had pretty fair luck.

Mum,

how much did you get?

Two hundred?

What about you?

See for yourself.

What?

Vanity Is Nothing,

you've got quite a lot,

but don't show off.

Why would I?

You should get rid

of your habit of calling me by screen name

every time you're angry.

I got a big sum because I had good luck.

You're happy, huh?

[Xie Shi] Fine.

The luckiest guy should send a red packet, too.

Oh, come on.

The luckiest guy

should grab more red packets.

You're so annoying.

Hey, woman.

Why did you give out so much money?

We usually give a few hundred

just for fun.

The Spring Festival comes once a year.

Just be happy.

I used to get over a hundred.

I thought I would be the luckiest guy this year.

I didn't expect it to be my father.

You are the luckiest.

[Xie Shi: For the Luckiest Guy]

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

♪I don't want to let go♪

♪Of my love for you♪

♪Because you'll be by my side forever and ever♪

Mu,

go open the door.

I'm in the middle of something.

Oh.

It's just seven.

Who would visit us so early?

What?

Can't recognize me?

What are you doing here?

Here's the soup.

Xie,

didn't you say you wouldn't come?

It's the festival

and can you leave your aunt alone?

Yeah.

Where's she?

She has a new boyfriend.

She's dating.

Wow.

That's good.

Yeah.

Someone takes care of her.

You don't need to worry.

Yeah.

Oh, right.

We take a family photo every year, don't we?

Xie is just here.

Let's take a new one.

OK.

I'll go get the camera.

Not now.

Not until we're done eating.

Have lunch before it gets cold.

Then we'll take the photo.

Here, Xie.

Have a drumstick.

Come on.

Taste the shrimp your mother made.

Dad.

Oh, yes.

Here.

One for you.

Three,

two,

one.

Cheese.

[And my hair? It's not too brown?]

Isn't this my street interview?

It is.

Keep watching.

Oh, God.

You were also there that day?

Not until I watched the video

did I know you were also there.

In a corner that we don't know,

the world has recorded how we met again and again.

In my opinion,

a love relationship

is an inevitable result

of myriad contingencies.

You're my origin.

You're my destination, too.

♪Want to tell you how fascinated I am with you♪

♪I'm thinking of you all the time♪

Xu Mu.

♪If I were a star in the universe♪

♪My trajectory would deviate for you♪

Will you marry me again?

♪Want to tell you everything about you♪

♪Is recorded in my heart♪

♪Want to travel with you from summer to winter♪

♪So, you're everything in my dream♪

♪So, I always sneak closer♪

♪I realized I'm a little bit obsessed♪

♪I'm waiting for your reply♪

♪If you can be by my side♪

♪And spend every year with me♪

♪Regardless of uneasiness and anxiety♪

♪I'll enjoy the sunset and tides with you♪

♪If you sense my feelings♪

When I was washing the dishes,

did you deliberately make me take off my ring?

♪Listen carefully to how we breathe now♪

Yes.

If I had known that, I'd wear something prettier.

♪My heart beats so fast just for you♪

Then, let me propose again.

Give the ring back to me.

No.

It's mine.

Don't. It's mine.

♪Maybe someday or maybe somewhere♪

♪I urge you to miss me and my heart beats a million times♪

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

♪And there are more stars today♪

If you meet the one you've secretly loved for a long time,

what will be your first words?

I'll say,

"Wait patiently.

One day,

we'll be in love."

Xu Mu.

We'll meet where we missed before.

Holding hands,

we'll go back to our warm home.

Here.

A present for you.

I have a present for you, too.

Gradually, we behave like each other.

We have a weird rapport naturally.

We hug each other on cold days.

Winter isn't as terrible as before.

It's great.

Taste it.

So sour.

Why do you always believe me?

We kill time together.

You said it tasted great.

We do many small, boring, and interesting things.

Xie Shi.

We'll always spend the winter together

until

the next spring.

[Six years later]

Sweetheart,

you don't need presents when you visit your godfather.

Your godmother told you last time, huh?

No way.

We need presents when visiting a senior.

Son,

do you want a snack? I'll buy it for you.

Dad, you actually want it, huh?

That's junk food.

It's bad for your health.

You should set a good example for me.

It makes sense.

There you are.

Take some rest.

Godfather.

How are you going with the book?

I'm reading about trig ratios.

I've bought you something you like.

Thank you, Huanghuang.

Godfather, I have some questions

to ask you.

Not until we celebrate your birthday.

Ask me later.

OK.

Huanghuang is crazy about math.

His problems...

Shen Yi and I can't solve them at all.

Only Xie Shi could help him.

♪Happy birthday to you♪

♪Happy birthday to you♪

♪Happy birthday to you♪

♪Happy birthday to you♪

Blow out the candles.

Huanghuang, you're one year older.

What wish did you make?

I wish Mom would be always gorgeous,

Dad would be always happy,

Godfather would always be successful,

and Godmother would never have trouble.

I also wish Magic Cube

would have more snacks than he could finish.

What about you, Huanghuang?

What for yourself?

Nothing for myself.

Why?

Because my life is great enough.

I need nothing more.

Oh, my good boy.

Mu,

when will you

get Huanghuang a playmate?

Not now.

Xie Shi is quite busy.

And we're used to living alone.

We won't be used to having a baby.

Having a sensible son like Huanghuang

would be good.

But having a naughty son

would be bad.

Considering your genes,

that's not going to happen.

You know what?

When you bring up a baby,

you will love it.

It's not that we don't love a baby.

Then have one.

Hurry.

Oh.

I forgot to tell you.

Shen Yi and I will go traveling in a couple of days.

By then,

I'll leave Huanghuang to you.

To us?

Mm.

[Closed]

Huanghuang.

When you're not studying,

what do you usually do?

I read books,

do my homework,

practice calligraphy,

and play the piano.

Nothing else?

Playing toys?

Or watching TV?

That's what little kids do.

I'm no longer a little kid.

I won't do that.

Then let's do something

for both adults and kids.

What do I do?

What's wrong?

I think

I failed.

Don't eat it.

Caramel biscuit.

Tastes good.

I made regular cookies.

I guess you took a burned one.

It's OK.

I love whatever you cook.

What?

What are you laughing at?

Nothing.

Hey, why didn't you remind me?

Let me help you.

Godfather and Godmother,

flour is on your faces.

Some more.

What's wrong, Huanghuang?

Godfather,

I'm tired and I want some sleep.

Let me carry you up there.

No need. I can walk.

Can Huanghuang stay alone?

We're right down here.

We can hear everything.

Don't worry.

Is it OK we don't put him to bed?

He's having a really good sleep.

Mm.

Don't you think

Huanghuang is adorable?

He is.

I always think so.

Actually,

it's not that terrible

to have a kid.

Xu Mu,

what's your point?

I know.

Because of your father,

you don't want a baby.

But we can think differently.

We...

We can...

Wait.

Who told you I didn't want a baby?

I heard that personally.

When?

When...

Xie Shi,

I'm a father now.

When will you and Xu Mu have a baby?

Not now.

It's good to be only the two of us.

That's right.

What are you doing here?

Nothing.

I'll go order some bagels for them.

I said something like that

and it means I don't want a baby?

You didn't explicitly say that.

Actually,

half of your point is true.

I'm not in a hurry, indeed.

But that's not because

of my original family.

I know

having a baby will greatly

change a girl's life.

She'll suffer the pain of childbirth,

bear the responsibility of the mother,

have the pressure from work,

and sacrifice in different ways.

I never have the final say

to decide if we have a baby.

So,

I have to know you want a baby.

Before that,

I won't do anything.

So, this is what worries you.

Before protecting our baby,

I have to protect you.

Xie Shi.

Mm?

Let's have a baby.

You must have waited long.

Not really.

Are you hungry?

I can eat a little cake at least.

Madam,

two strawberry cakes.

There you are.

Today

is the 20th anniversary of my stall.

You're my regular customers.

You'll have the cake

for free.

The 20th anniversary?

Indeed.

Think of your high school.

It was a dozen years ago, wasn't it?

How time flies!

- OK. Take it. - Thanks.

Thank you.

Our anniversary is coming.

What present do you want?

Oh, I nearly forgot.

What?

The cake...

You'll have to buy one more piece next year.

[Jiangbei People's Hospital Ultrasound Report]

When did you have it?

I went to the hospital this afternoon.

According to the doctor,

the baby is healthy.

But anyway,

the first few months are important.

For the next checkup,

the baby's father should be there.

I wonder

if you can spare some time.

Thank you.

Why?

Why did you thank me?

I just think

you'll have a hard time in the following months.

The mother won't have a hard time alone.

So will the father.

You'll have to cook,

do the housework, take care of me,

and look after the baby.

It's all hard work.

You may not even sleep well.

It's just nothing.

You're quite responsible.

I've never had a baby before.

I don't have any experience.

It's OK.

Take your time.

Shall we start with a name?

But we don't know whether it's a son or a daughter.

Hi, everybody.

I'm Manman.

Oh, no. I'm Jiang Yule.

Manman is my nickname.

Now, I'll record my day.

Let me show you my father secretly.

Jiang Yule, put down the camera.

No.

Dad always calls me by my full name.

But Mum calls me Manman.

Manman.

Come over here.

Be right there.

♪Just a little bit closer to the moon♪

Drink some, Mum.

Godfather said

I didn't live a life like my father's.

Because he had a miserable childhood.

What is love, then?

Love...

Like how my parents love each other, I think.

♪I want you to tell me about the world in your eyes♪

Oh,

let me show you something.

♪You've led me by your side for the sealed ten years♪

This is my parents' memorial album.

Shh.

I'll show it secretly.

This is the first photo of my parents.

Don't just look.

This is something worth recording.

Let's take a photo.

♪I want you to miss me and my heart beats a million times♪

I heard my father was so nervous

that he didn't know how to rest his hands.

Smile.

But my mother taught him

to smile for the photo.

Dad bent, anyway. Haw-haw.

♪On the night when meteors soar across the sky♪

This is the first public photo of their "relationship".

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

It's mine.

According to Dad, Mom was adorable when she was drunk.

This is their photo of a challenging activity.

[Activity for Couples] Dad said he was too shy

to stand close to Mum.

This is a photo of a couple

instead of a class.

Come closer.

Later, Mum took his arm.

Nervously, he stuck to Mum.

This is their wedding photo.

They secretly printed it out.

Dad said

he was sleepless that night.

Oh, his dream came true.

♪Before I met you, it didn't beat that fast♪

♪I just needed you to be by my side♪

♪If you want to go too far away♪

This is the first photo of my parents

and my grandparents.

Three,

two,

one.

Cheese.

This photo would be perfect with me.

♪Let's point to where the stars rise♪

And this.

They have something important to do.

Let's go, Manman.

They'll go take the wedding photos.

I hear taking wedding photos is something onerous.

They have to do a lot of poses a day.

That's hard.

Only people in love can do that.

My parents can do that.

So can I.

I will

love them

forever and ever.
