[The Best Day of My Life]

[Episode 12]

What?

You're so serious.

My mother is recovering very well.

She's back home for recuperation.

She's back home?

When I visited her in the hospital, she said she would stay for a while.

She can't help worrying

about the plants she keeps on her balcony.

I'll ask my mother to accompany her more.

Mm.

We...

What?

Having another anniversary?

We decided to get married.

So soon.

It's not a long time.

Shen Yi,

good for you.

That's not true.

I'm way too good.

Right, Niannian?

Don't show off.

This time,

when my mother was in hospital,

I realized

Shen Yi wasn't the same as me.

He is calmer,

more patient,

and better-tempered.

We click and balance each other.

We can be friends and partners.

We can also be a family

and depend on each other.

I think

if I don't marry him,

that'd be my biggest regret in life.

So, I proposed to him.

So, I accepted it.

You know what?

He was so moved

that he got all snotty.

He cried.

You stained my lipstick.

Who got all snotty?

Stop laughing.

Come on.

Let's drink.

You're not clingy, but a crybaby now.

♪We're almost there♪

♪Be very careful♪

♪Don't let him get it, though I also want it♪

Paper.

Paper.

♪Maybe you knew how much I loved you♪

♪The romantic rain keeps falling♪

♪Playing a film in my universe♪

♪Revolving heart is acting♪

♪You seem to have a universal attraction♪

♪Gradually getting us closer♪

Beer?

No more.

Get me another bottle.

♪How I wish this isn't just a dream♪

Chinese Baijiu?

It's water. I want beer.

Put it on.

Let's go.

OK.

Be careful.

If there's an emergency,

call me.

OK.

Be careful.

Niannian. Niannian.

Where's my wife?

Honey,

I'm here!

Honey.

I'm so sleepy.

Good night.

We're going to sleep.

Bye-bye.

Niannian

is a restless sleeper.

When Shen Yi sleeps with her,

he'll be kicked out of the bed.

It's OK.

Shen Yi is a restless sleeper, too.

Rest assured.

I'm a good sleeper.

Why are you up so early?

When did you wake up?

Half an hour ago.

How was your sleep last night?

Good.

Oh.

What about Shen Yi and Song Niannian?

Get them to breakfast.

They're sleeping.

I've saved some for them.

It's not a girl.

Stop calling me again.

Look.

Your description after the subtitle is wrong.

How come?

I heard carefully at the meeting.

What does it have to do with that?

These are two different things.

You were careless at the meeting.

You...

Let's ask Mu.

Wait and see.

Xu Mu,

Qin Xiaoke and I

have a problem with the proposal.

Can you check it out for us?

OK. Let me see.

I may knock off a bit late.

Wait twenty minutes for me.

Look.

It should be described like this.

The concept of encounter is...

That's pretty much it.

Oh.

See?

[Xie Shi]

What did I say?

I'll modify it.

Sorry.

The subscriber you dialed can't...

Sorry.

The subscriber you dialed can't be connected.

Please redial later.

Xie Shi.

That's weird.

Is he not back yet?

Xie Shi.

It's so hot.

I'll get you some medicine.

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

Why is it still so hot?

♪I'm thinking of you all the time♪

It's OK.

♪If I were a star in the universe♪

♪My trajectory would deviate for you♪

♪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♪

♪Can you get closer instead of fleeing?♪

♪Listen carefully to how we breathe now♪

♪My heart beats so fast just for you♪

You're up?

Any better?

I made some porridge.

Have a taste.

It took me a long time.

It must taste great.

I swear.

Mm.

It tastes great.

Last night,

thank you.

I didn't do anything.

Why didn't you tell me you were sick?

You just bore it alone.

You felt sick a long time ago, huh?

I just had a cold and a fever.

It's no big deal.

Sorry to have kept you worried.

If anything happens, do let me know.

Are you going to work today?

Yes.

There's a lot of work to do.

I thought you would take a day off.

Take care of yourself, then.

You haven't recovered.

Don't be too tired.

Mm.

Eat more.

Humph.

Avoiding my calls.

I'll wait here for you.

I believe I'll catch you.

Hey, son.

I've finally seen you.

I gave you some money, didn't I?

That's not enough.

You just gave me a little money.

I used it up over one night.

One night?

You gambled again?

Son,

this is the last time.

I promise.

Give me some money

and I'll earn a lot more.

Then I'll stop

and live my retirement life.

I won't bother you again.

I won't believe you.

You want money.

Impossible.

Why did he hang up on me?

Impossible?

I'm your father!

I raised you.

How come you don't give me the money?

Raised me?

Did you raise me for even one day?

Fine.

I didn't raise you.

Your mother

raised you, didn't she?

Why do you have it?

If you want it,

give me the money.

Threatening me with my mother's stuff.

How ungrateful you are!

Stop gibbering!

Give me the money.

You care so much for your mother.

Pay some money for it.

It's not that I won't give it to you.

This is the last time.

That's right.

This is my good son.

No password.

Give my mother's stuff to me.

Give it to me.

Don't dawdle.

Hello, Aunt.

Are you available now?

Oh. I'm on a business trip.

What's up?

Miss me?

You guessed right.

We'll talk when you're back.

Why then?

Say it now.

What do you want me for?

Nothing, actually.

Today,

I saw Xie Shi's father.

But the two of them

didn't get along very well.

So,

I want to know

what happened to them.

Aunt?

Xie Shi's father is a terrible man.

Just gamble, Xie Fangping!

All you know is gambling!

None of your business!

You keep yelling every day!

Stop yelling!

Get out!

Xie Shi's father

was just bad-tempered in the beginning.

He kept quarreling with Xie Shi's mother.

When Xie Shi grew up,

his father got worse.

He did violence.

Luckily, at that time,

Xie Shi grew up.

He could protect his mother.

Then he had to be beaten, too.

How dare you push me?

I warn the two of you!

Leave me alone!

You bad boy.

How dare you defend her!

How dare you!

How dare you!

How dare you!

Xie Shi fought back

and called the police.

But his father wouldn't listen.

He abused them harder and harder.

Once,

by accident,

he broke Xie Shi's right wrist.

At that time, his mother was sick.

No one took care of him.

Xie Shi was so proud

that he forced himself

to learn to use his left hand

and take care of his mother and himself.

But before his wrist recovered,

his mother passed away.

I thought he could use his left hand since little.

Using his left hand instead of the right one

was a huge change for him.

He hates to change.

But everything wasn't what he expected.

He was forced to change schools constantly

and adapt to new situations.

He's developed this character

because of all that happened.

But Xie Shi has been this good.

I'm quite satisfied.

OK.

I get it.

Where have you been?

I know.

It's hard to be a good family.

But I want to try.

♪I need you tonight♪

♪All my expectations for you have become♪

♪What I can rely on most♪

♪I don't want to let go♪

♪Of my love for you♪

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

Why are you still up?

I'm not sleepy.

I'll do some reading.

You do what you have to do.

I won't disturb you.

Did it take long

to learn to use your left hand?

I forgot.

Did my aunt describe me

as a poor little boy again?

Don't trust her.

Actually,

it wasn't that serious.

Maybe God favored me

and wanted me to experience

a different life

so that one day

I could tell you my story.

Pretend

you heard a very long story

that had nothing to do with you.

You don't have to stay.

Go to bed.

I'm not staying with you.

I just want some reading.

I know.

It's hard to be a good family.

But I want to try.

What?

Being revengeful for the emasculation thing?

[School Magazine]

[Origin of XX: Xu Mu, 29 August, 2011]

Why do you keep the school magazine?

What does this annotation mean?

Why do you always forget?

In the 11th grade,

I came to Jiangbei with my aunt.

You'll report to school in a couple of days.

Are you done unpacking your things?

Not yet.

Come on. I'll help you with that.

I didn't hate

the new environment.

Your father beat you again?

No.

I had no expectations, either.

My life just repeated plainly.

Don't deny it.

You just talk tough.

Did you apply the ointment?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

♪This day♪

♪Really dazzles♪

♪The world suddenly seems to slow down♪

Until that day

you held a wounded cat

and broke my innate pattern.

♪But my heart starts to pound♪

And since that day...

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

I've started

to care about something.

Does it still hurt?

Don't be scared.

I'll get you healed.

♪If you want a date on this winter night♪

Why are you staring at her?

You know her?

♪Maybe the two of us♪

No.

Let's go.

See if there's a pharmacy.

♪Only the two of us♪

When I'm in a bad mood, I have to eat.

♪I need you tonight♪

I cared why I met you twice in a week.

I just got poor grades.

I'll get full before being scolded.

♪What I can rely on most♪

I cared if that cat had recovered.

♪I don't want to let go♪

I cared what food you liked.

I cared

what kind of girl you were.

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

Quiet, everybody.

This is

our new transfer student,

Xie Shi.

I want you to get along

very well with him.

Hi, class.

I'm Xie Shi.

You will

take that seat.

And because I cared,

I said what I didn't really mean.

Hi.

I'm Xu Mu.

Sicne you don't have books yet,

let's share this book.

No need.

Thanks.

In case you caught a cold from me,

I rejected you subconsciously.

What is wrong with you?

It's so late!

Go run for ten laps in the playground!

Run!

You're late.

I'm not.

I'm on time.

According to the director, you're late after seven.

Or at seven.

In case you were punished,

I remained unreasonable.

I didn't want to see you worry about the problem.

Mr. Zhang,

I can't solve this problem.

That's pretty much it.

Xu Mu,

you did only one problem in half of the class?

Show me your paper when class is over.

You did this problem just the other day, didn't you?

I forgot it.

I even

started to lie without looking guilty.

[Mid-term Paper, 88]

I've made a lot of progress.

Learning and asking more really helped.

But Mr. Zhang is really impatient.

When I couldn't solve a problem

and asked him several times, he was upset.

Mr. Zhang isn't to blame.

My poor memory is to blame, OK?

Hey.

Still chatting?

We'll change seats.

Get packed soon.

Oh.

That's right.

You'll get to the first row.

I wonder who will share my desk.

If you have requests, tell me.

Don't come to me after you change.

When we changed seats,

in case you didn't like your new deskmate...

Mr. Zhang,

I want Xu Mu here.

In front of the class, I said I wanted you.

But when you asked me...

I didn't know you could be so nice.

Knowing I didn't want to sit there,

you offered to get me here.

I covered my real thoughts.

Because you sleep in class

and it won't disturb me.

You cause

less trouble.

It's really hard for me

to admit I care about you.

Xie Shi,

this didn't save a lot of trouble.

What time is it?

Xu Mu,

what are you writing?

You work really hard.

It's a secret.

You will know.

Later,

I saw your carefully composed essay published in the school magazine.

When we talk about the origin,

we usually think of a point,

a line,

a surface,

or a space.

[Origin, by Xu Mu from Class 3, Grade 11, 2011] But when it's beyond science,

the origin can be an expression of love.

No one wants to go back to the origin alone.

It really means going back to where everything started

and going back to the day I met you.

"Origin" won't exist

until I meet you.

Since then, "Origin"

has had a specific meaning to me.

I suddenly wanted to know what I looked like

in your eyes.

So, I took the initiative for the first time.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Have you read

this notebook?

Yes.

Everything in it.

Don't...?

Don't you have anything to say?

What should I say?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I'm finally done.

But...

I didn't get

the reply I expected.

Shi,

I've done the formalities to go abroad.

Go home and get packed.

We're leaving tomorrow.

OK.

I get it.

Later, I accepted all the changes,

became Jiang Zhou,

and started a new life.

I'm sorry.

It's OK.

But in the past 12 years...

[I like one sentence in your essay.]

["Origin" won't exist until I meet you.] I've never forgotten.
