[Episode 5]

I'm going to buy something.

It's dirty inside. I haven't cleaned up yet.

It's okay.

Go inside and watch the film.

I'll take it to you

when I'm done.

I want to see you cook.

I've never seen it before. I'm curious.

You are curious about everything.

Wait a minute.

I'll clean up.

I've bought you some barbecue.

Eat it yourself.

Okay, got it.

It's so spicy.

Do you want some?

No, I don't like it.

I just finished it.

In what way do you want to cook?

What do you want to eat?

Egg them before deep-frying.

Don't you think it's troublesome?

It isn't me doing it anyway.

You're here.

Wait in the room.

No.

I just want to watch you work here.

The workshop is too cold.

No need to wipe.

I'll wash it myself.

I'm leaving first. Hurry up.

I didn't mean it.

I just want to see the ending.

Get ready to eat.

Don't watch these anymore.

You should study hard.

I didn't know they'd have the scene.

Remember to call me.

Last semester,

you had underperformance.

I often couldn't contact you.

There was a lot of training

and only a few training places with a strong signal.

I know.

Call me

whenever you are unoccupied.

[In the year 2010]

[In the year 2020]

You are...

Has your first love

back yet?

I want to see him.

Probably no.

What do you mean by probably no?

Haven't you asked him?

The kid is with you.

Shouldn't you two

chat three times a day?

He has a special occupation.

Sometimes, he disappears for a few days.

How can I chat with him always?

And if he comes back,

I think he will inform me.

Long time no see.

You're still the same.

Nothing good happens when I see you.

You're in your thirties,

but still, act like a teenager.

Is it fun?

You're back.

Minshan, you are here.

Aunt.

Come here.

Come and sit here.

How did you get here?

My dad sent me here.

Where is your dad?

He has a dinner party tonight.

So he didn't have time

to visit you.

No need.

He doesn't have to bother visiting me.

Lu Chen, get Minshan a glass of water.

Mum, I'm leaving.

Sister will be here soon.

I'm talking to you.

Aunt.

He came to accompany you overnight

after getting off the train.

Let him go back and rest early.

Speak it out.

What's your relationship

with Zhao Minshan?

Could you even be together at such a far distance?

I don't think so.

I'm a little tired.

I don't want to talk.

I heard that

Zhao Minshan had just divorced not more than two years.

Be careful.

She is

very scheming.

She screwed me up.

You disappointed Meng Xiaoshan

because you couldn't stand the temptation.

Yes, you're right.

I can't blame others.

It's my fault.

[Lu Zheng Automobile Repair]

You're back.

Uncle Liu is dirty.

I've accustomed to it when I was young.

Okay.

Let's go out and eat.

Everybody is going together.

It's on Uncle Liu's treat today.

Haidong, let's go together.

Okay, Uncle Liu.

Let's go.

Is everything good in Qining?

Are you coming back for getting married?

Who is he marrying?

Could it be

his girlfriend who's in Qining?

You didn't even tell me.

I'm not planning to get married.

Will your dad allow you

not listening to him?

What happened exactly?

Who can let me in on it?

It's Lu Chen's father.

He'd borrowed more than one million

from the Zhao family

and couldn't pay it back.

Later, the daughter of the Zhao family

said,

"How about this?

We can become in-laws.

You don't have to pay back the money."

The daughter also said,

"Lu Chen and I

are old classmates.

We know each other well.

I'm willing to marry him."

Zhao Minshan?

Did you also hear about it?

I figured it out.

But Lu Chen,

now,

you don't have to be afraid of your dad.

He's old now.

Maybe

he won't be able to punish you anymore.

But you can't

welch on the debt.

You are his son.

If you don't pay his debt,

he will force your elder sister to pay it back.

Am I right?

Enough.

Lu Chen just came back.

Let's talk about something cheerful.

Come on.

Okay.

Let's eat.

Let's eat.

There's always a solution.

Qin Xiaonan.

Just put your clothes there.

I'll wash them together later.

No, I'll do it myself.

Do you like washing clothes so much?

Then help me

wash mine too.

Just kidding.

It's okay.

Take your clothes to me.

I'll wash them for you.

I don't dare to slave you.

I'm serious. Just put them there.

If you

feel sorry to trouble me,

I'll wash them

with a washing machine.

It can be dried too. How awesome it is!

I'm on a business trip the day after tomorrow.

I may not be able to

take care of Qin Xiaonan.

Come pick him up if you have come back.

If not...

Who should take care of him?

It's usually not a big deal.

But now the Chinese New Year is around the corner.

It's inappropriate to place him at anyone's house.

We'll see.

Speak it out.

What have you been doing recently?

After the class reunion,

we have no chance to hang out with you at all.

I'm working.

What else can I do?

I got something to share with you.

I heard that

Zhao Minshan,

who had divorced two years ago...

It was a hearsay, Gui Xiao.

I heard that

Chen had just returned

two days ago.

They are getting married.

Who?

Chen.

I remember when Chen came back last time,

you came to call on him.

So I'm telling you the news.

Is Lu Chen back?

♫My unbosoming no longer attracts you♫

Yes.

He came back yesterday.

I didn't expect

our campus beau to be

obtained by Zhao Minshan.

♫How much indifference do I get for holding on?♫

Also,

the Zhao family is ready for a wedding.

They have booked the restaurant

♫Good night that I can't text♫

managed by Meng Xiaoshan.

Aren't you familiar with Meng Xiaoshan?

Ask her.

She must know better than me.

♫I used to believe that hard efforts would leave no regrets♫

I have to go.

♫But the situation has come to a head♫

Let's talk later.

Okay, bye.

♫Who's going to bear for me?♫

Happy New Year in advance.

Happy New Year.

♫We said it would last forever♫

♫But we were separated in the end♫

♫I wait until I give up all resistance♫

♫Let time pass by♫

♫Never thought that love♫

♫Is not about the trials and tribulations♫

♫That simple♫

♫We wait until there's a twist in the plot♫

♫We still keep our hopes up♫

♫With your absence, I stand in♫

♫The nights when I can't even shed a tear♫

♫The street lights on the corner pass by dimly♫

♫It's too late♫

I heard you went back to Beijing.

He just asked me to do him a favour.

I agreed and it's already done.

It should be over.

Don't give it too much thought.

He didn't say anything.

Hello?

Sorry, Gui Xiao.

Something urgent came up at home.

I'm back for two days.

But I had a busy schedule.

It's okay.

I'm leaving Beijing the day after tomorrow.

The Chinese New Year is coming.

It's not suitable

to leave the kid to my friends.

I heard you were back.

So I wanted to ask you when you will be free

to pick up the kid.

The day after tomorrow.

How about I just drive him there?

I'll go tomorrow.

It's a deal.

Thank you.

No problem.

I can help you.

Lu Chen.

I'm saving money.

I'll visit you when I have enough money.

One more minute, okay?

Do you miss me?

Can't you say more?

Don't we

speak the same language?

I'm now living on campus.

I'm so torn.

There are four people in our dorm.

I don't know if I can get used to it.

Oh no.

My mum knows who you are.

Recently,

I can't answer the phone at home.

Don't call me.

Wait for my call.

Lu Chen.

Bye.

It's winter.

Why didn't you close the door and block the wind?

Why are your eyes red?

Did you quarrel with your dad?

No.

I recall the past.

The past?

Isn't your past all about Gui Xiao?

What could you recall?

Why did you break up?

I still haven't figured it out yet.

Look, when I broke up with Meng Xiaoshan,

it's my fault.

What about you two?

It's my fault.

At that time,

she was a girl.

She put all her emotions

on the phone call.

She couldn't see or touch them.

How pitiful.

Actually, during that period,

when I couldn't see her,

I missed her too.

I missed her so much.

Every time I hear her calling me Lu Chen,

and calling my name on the phone,

I feel that she has the most pleasant voice

in the world.

Every time.

Enough. Stop it.

You make me feel sad.

Normally,

she should have gotten married.

Her children should be teens ages.

Where are you going?

Take a shower.

Shower? It's Chinese New Year.

There's no heater in your bathroom.

Do you want to be frozen to death?

I've even taken a bath in the snow in Qining.

I'm not afraid of the cold.

I'll fix the car.

He dismantles the car

every time he feels sad.

It never changes.

I came here with only one bag of stuff.

But I'm leaving with this much.

My dad will scold me.

Not much at all.

These are

for you to wear

in school later.

You're going to see Uncle Lu soon.

Are you happy?

Yes.

I wonder if the repair shop

is still accommodable.

What a waste.

These slippers are so small.

Who will wear them in the future?

Little wordy. Let's go.

Here.

Aunt Gui Xiao, is this the place?

We're here.

Here we are.

So spacious!

It's larger than I thought.

Hello, I'm looking for Lu Chen.

Wait, miss.

I'll make a call.

It's cold outside. Come in first.

Come on, kid.

Okay, thank you.

Let's go.

Someone is looking for Lu Chen. At the door.

A girl and a kid.

Miss, he'll come out now.

Does this factory all belong to Uncle Lu?

Yes.

Uncle Lu.

Is it new-bought?

He had too much stuff to fit.

So I bought him a new one.

I won't go in further.

Come.

Come inside and have a seat.

Where is the toilet?

The right side.

It's cold in the factory.

Don't take off your coat first.

I'll leave after a few words.

I've found a private school

for Qin Xiaonan.

I'll be away for a long time.

But I'll ask my cousin

to take you to school.

I bought some clothes for him.

From now on,

you should also buy him some clothes every year.

But not too many.

He can wear school uniforms usually.

That's all.

Do you still love me?

Bai Chao said that

you were getting married.

Lu Chen?

Yes.

When?

Next month.

♫Do you hear?♫

♫Several years♫

Congratulations.

♫Ask from my soul over all desire♫

♫Feel your heart♫

♫Heal your wound♫

♫Wait for your return, overcome the fear♫

Aunt.

Uncle Lu is getting married.

He'll be quite busy.

Remember

what I told you in the car.

Also,

if you are neglected at school,

remember what Aunt Gui Xiao said.

All transfer students

will go through this process.

They'll accept you after a long time.

Aunt.

Go on with your work. I'm leaving.

Wait.

How much is the suitcase?

One hundred.

Here's for Xiaonan's clothes

and his living cost of staying at your house for days.

Thank you.

Lu Chen.

You don't have to be so calculative.

You helped me in Qining.

Lu Chen.

Why are you not coming out? There're guests outside.

You...

You are...

Gui Xiao.

Do you still remember me?

I'm Zhao Minshan from Class 2.

Long time no see. You've been prettier.

I nearly

couldn't recognize you.

Are you

the friend Lu Chen's mother mentioned?

I heard from Mrs Lu that

he had a friend coming today.

Since he has been outside

all these years,

I've never seen

those of his friends.

So I came out

to have a look.

I didn't expect that it was you.

What a coincidence.

Is this your kid?

It's his comrade's.

He asked me to go through the school procedure for him.

Lu Chen never mentioned it.

I've sent the kid here.

I'm leaving first.

Please don't go.

Stay here and have lunch with us.

Oh, Lu Chen.

She came through a far way.

How could you not invite her for a meal?

No need.

I have an appointment with Meng Xiaoshan.

Meng Xiaoshan?

Forget it, then.

Girl.

Why are you leaving now?

I knew you were coming.

So I went to buy fish for you.

We'll see.

Thank you.

Girl, you...

Why don't you eat first before you leave?

Enough.

Are you okay?

Are you hurt?

I'm fine.

It's really broken here.

Just repair it here.

Anyone? Come over here.

Take the job.

No need.

I can fix it myself.

You can fix it here.

No need.

Excuse me.

I have to reverse out.

Thank you.

There's no heater in your room.

Your suitcase is expensive.

Your parents are so willing to

spend money on you.

You have no conscience.

Go and do your homework.

Waive the bill for that table.

Apologize properly.

Hello, Gui Xiao.

I'm hungry.

Go to the lobby.

I need to take this call.

Gui Xiao, you sound like something's wrong.

Did something happen at your home?

Do you need money?

I'll send it to you.

No.

I'm just hungry.

I haven't eaten since morning.

I was just passing by,

and I thought of

you mentioned buying me a meal.

Where are you?

By the river.

The river?

Which entrance?

The intersection

outside Lu Chen's factory.

Are you here to pick me up?

What are you doing? Put me down.

I have something urgent to do.

How old are you?

Aren't you afraid of hurting your back?

Did you cry?

No.

I just feel

a little down.

Because of Lu Chen, right?

You two always came here for dating.

Don't think I've forgotten.

Let me take a guess.

You are upset

because of

Lu Chen and Zhao Minshan.

Everyone knows

about Zhao Minshan's divorce.

She was embarrassed and anxious to get married again.

But after years of hard efforts,

none of them can impress her.

Finally,

Lu Chen has fallen into her lap.

So, a few days ago,

since she got engaged to Lu Chen,

and received the betrothal gifts,

she was desperate to hold a grand banquet

immediately.

She has invited all her acquaintances in the neighbourhood.

You. How old are you?

Still crying for your first love who has been ten years ago?

Don't blame me for scolding you, Gui Xiao.

You thought you were still 18.

There are many things you don't know.

When I told Haidong to break up,

we made it clean in the end.

You should have cried enough

when you broke up.

Everyone has a first love.

If you keep thinking about your first love,

how are you supposed to move on?

I'm hungry.

Okay, let's eat something delicious.

The most delicious one.

Give me the car key.

Where's your car?

We're all acquaintances around here.

I'm not afraid of losing it.

I'll ask my husband

to drive it back.

It feels good.

I can switch with you if you want.

No need.

You're already dying.

How can I profit from your misfortunes?

Who's dying?
