Thank you.
You love books more than you love me, right?
Yes. Because books don't get jealous over useless things.
Then . . .
Will you always love me?
You've already asked me this yesterday,
and I've already told you my answer.
Yesterday was yesterday, today is today.
You haven't told me today if you love me or not.
I would rather start loving you again every morning,
than keep loving you for every day.
A new day, because none of us has lived through it yet.
That's why it's meaningful.
I don't understand.
I only want you to answer if you love me today. Is that so hard?
I just don't want to.
I don't want it to be that just because I loved you yesterday,
that it's a given that I'll still be loving you today.
Rather...
I hope that for each day that I love you,
there is always a different reason for loving you.
Because the feeling you give me today is different.
So the reason I love you is also different.
No matter how much more you ask, this is as much as you can get.
You're really different from other girls.
Other girls usually ask guys
"Do you love me?"
"Will you always love me?"
But you've never asked me that.
Why should I? Why should I give you a chance to tell me a lie?
- Don't! There's a lot of people around!- Do you really think I'm lying?
There's seriously a lot of people around.
Oh, so you get embarrassed like all the other girls.
No!
Okay!
Your birthday is almost here.
What do you want for your birthday?
I want...
A camel's bone. A whole one.
Who would want something so strange?
There are. A woman besides me who also wants it.
She also wants a whole bone of a camel.
And do you know what?
The man that loves her the most, got it for her.
I don't believe that. You made that story up didn't you?
It's true!
If you finish reading this book, you'll see if I lied to you or not.
Remember. A camel's bone.
Be good and read the book.
You just want to trick me into reading a book don't you?
No, why would I trick anyone?
You just want to trick me into reading, don't you?
- Go and read!- OK.
Xiang Shu Lei, listen to me!
Read properly.

Miss Du!
Mr. Zhang!
- You came to mountain climb?- Yes! How's your business going?
It's not bad.
Oh right, come here!
Thank you...
It was using the technique that you taught me,
that I made this oolong tea.
How does it taste? Does it pass?
It doesn't leave your mouth dry!
The weather is nice today.
It's the most suitable weather to go mountain climbing.
Yeah. Mr Zhang, thank you!
- Have a nice hike.- Bye.
Be careful!

She bought another new book.
Where does she find the time to read all these books?
Why are you...?
Ke Jie loves strawberry strawberry short cakes, I bought some on the way over.
Where's Ke Jie? Ke Jie?
Ke Jie?
Ke Jie isn't here?
She sent me a text this morning,
saying she's off to Hong Kong for a week on business.
Oh...
She left again without telling you anything?
So... Is she okay?
We were talking on the phone last night,
her voice sounded just fine.
But I don't know...
If there's nothing wrong, then that's good.
Not here.
Ke Jie will see when she comes in.
Just one time is fine.
You still think that,
the person you saw last night is still Ke Jie.
Subtitles by the Lovestore at the Corner Team @Viki
What? What happened?
Shu Lei!
What are you looking for?
What's wrong?
Who are you looking for?
I don't know.
Who? Who are you looking for?
I saw a woman who looked just like Ke Jiewatching us just now.
Are you sure it was Ke Jie?
I don't know.
- Then did she see us?- I don't know!
Pick up the phone.
Pick up the phone!
Is everything alright?
Do you still think
that the relationship between us is a mistake?
Don't you think that too?
I understand very clearly.
There were so many times...
I told myself to give up.
We can't continue like this.
But I...
But I can't bring myself to do it.
There's a voice asking me constantly,
"Why is she the right one..."
"and why am I the wrong one?"
Even though our relationship started from a mistake,
I really hope that to you,
I am the right choice.
You do also understand that
I didn't betray Ke Jie to treat you like this.
I work at my father's hospital.
Watching so many people die...
Every single one of them
all think that they still have a tomorrow.
They think about where they'll go tomorrow,where they'll go the next time...
What other things they have to complete...
But tomorrow isn't going to come.
So I ask myself,
"If they knew that they were going to die today,"
"then would they have lived yesterday differently?"
If it was me,
I would do anything to make myself a bit happier.
What we're doing right now,
isn't that all it is?
But I don't want to hurt Ke Jie
to give you more happiness.
At the start, that's what it was.
At the start, I thought that if I didn't think about Ke Jie,
then I could have you for a short while.
I always thought that we could continue on like this.
But...
Right now, I wish it really was Ke jie that you saw last night.
I want to see how you face this situation.
I want to let her know our secret,so that we can all just relax about it.
If she really does know the truth,
I would plead her to forgive me.
If she needs time,
I would wait.
Than what about me?
Have you ever thought about me? I've been waiting!
Isn't that the price for cheating?
Like I've said before...
Shall we continue, or shall we stop?
The choice is yours.
Anytime.
You're the most rotten man that I have ever met!
I'm sorry.
Rescue party. Rescue party.
What's the situation right now?
Currently there are no findings.
OK, all the small search groups should leave that area.
(Ah Jiang)
Ah Jang, what's happening?
Xue Zhang (senior), of everyone who's left the country the past week,
I've looked at everyone named Du Ke Jie.
I've searched them all, but none of them are who you're looking for.
That cannot be.
She sent me a text saying that she's leaving the country on business.
Xue Zhang, don't worry.
Do you want to look around for her passport?
Maybe your girlfriend didn't even leave the country.
I understand.
Thank you.
Ke JIe,
is it you?
(One month later)
Hello? What else do you need?
Red crabs?
Where am I supposed to get red crabs?
Just make sure you bring everything back by 3 o'clock.
Okay!
Mom, I understand!
Okay!
How can I get there by three?!
Subtitles by the Lovestore at the Corner Team @Viki
The Master said that according to Ke Jie's horoscope,
and the astronomical phenomena that day,
she is probably in the Northeast region.
Coincidentally, our balcony
also faces northeast.
In addition, with these two statues
and the clairvoyant helping us search,
there will surely be news soon.
Where are the red crabs?
Mom, are you sure that just a picture will be OK?
Please, did you think we'd stick a real one on the window?
After two days it will start smelling.
The crabs are here, let her be found.(note: 'xun' crabs sounds like 'xun' to find)
We'll definitely find your sister soon.
This is Ke Jie's place.
The Master says
we should place more yellow objects in her room.
Yellow is her lucky color.
It can help give her some luck.
That way, Ke Jie will...
Mom, Mom...
Don't be sad.
Don't cry, alright?
Isn't there a saying that goes,
"No news is good news."
If something really happened to Ke Jie,
something bad,
then someone should have found out about it already.
But look,
it's already been a month.
Ke Jie's bag,
shoes, or anything...
They haven't found anything.
So Sis must be alright!
If Ke Jie is fine,
then why hasn't she contacted us?
Why can't we connect with her cell phone?
Doesn't she know that her family will worry about her?!
That's the kind of person she is!
Did you forget that she always used to leave the country,
and never told us about it.
Wasn't there one time she went to Africa,
for half a year,
and didn't tell us about it.
Maybe this time is just like that time.
It's not the same.
At least last time,
she called home after half a month.
This time...
There must be something keeping her from calling,
don't cry anymore.
Let's not cry anymore, alright?
Don't worry, we're thinking about it too much.
Maybe she'll call us tomorrow!
Right?
Where's your dad?
In the morning he left to do something.
Don't worry. There won't be anything wrong.
Your daughter has climbed these mountains many times.
She knows her way.
Don't worry! Nothing's wrong!
But, this has gone on for so long already,
and they still haven't found her.
Have you ever thought about
whether she was lost here at all?
Mr. Du?
Yes...
We are here to search.
Okay! Thank you.
I appreciate your help.
Please.
OK, no problem.
Dear God, please keep this Miss safe.
- Chief Cai.- President Cheng, hello.
Change this part.
Xin Ni, this is the report I just printed off.
Can you take a look and see if there are any mistakes?
This is wrong. Did we say 100 before?Change it to 150.
The calculation is all wrong here.There's still time. Hurry and fix this.
How's the research going? Let me see.
The residential development projectis expected to begin next year.
Sitting on a mountain, with a view of the sea,
with a focus on residential health.
The emphasis is on health
and the best quality of life.
The site is only 20 minutes away
from the metropolitan area.
The idea is "a holiday at home"...
A woman climber from New Taipei Cityhas been reported missing.
According to the rescue team,
The woman who had gone up the mountain three days ago has since been out of contact.
The rescue team has yet to find the woman.
Reporting in, Xie Ya Ru.
Next is our Marketing Manager, Miss Dong Xi Ni,
to brief us on the execution plans.
Xin Ni.
It is your turn.
Sorry!
Our development project next year...
I'm sorry, please give me a moment.
What is Dong Xin Ni up to?
Hello everyone, regarding next year's "Home For Vacation"
residential development proposal...
For our different consumer bases,
we've created two main plans.
Let's take a look at our first group,
which is geared toward more modern people...
Du Ke Jie, I wasn't kidding.
The whole world knows that Xiang Shu Lei is a bastard.
Even though his family is rich and has status,
those people can't do anything about him.
Aren't you afraid he's just playing with youand he'll dump you for no reason later?
Let me tell you,
by the time you want to slap him,
you won't be able to find him.
Du Ke Jie,
you're not even his opponent, understand?
There's nothing wrong with that.
Suddenly vanishing can get rid of
those disgusting crying scenes.
Dating is supposed to be about two people being happy,
then where do opponents and such things come in?
What do you want to drink?
Its all over...
You can actually pretend that there is nothing wrong.
You were such a clever women,
but when faced with love problems,
you can actually become so weak towards a bastard!
OK, then let me ask you...
An honest person,
who can live up to their own standards,
and can also face others fair on,
he probably doesn't have any secrets to hide.
Yes, but what does this have to do with Shu Lei?
When I decided to be together with this person,
I have already believed that he is that kind of a person.
He knows where my limit lies.
In our relationship, we don't have any secrets between us.
OK, even he if tells methat he's fallen in love with someone else...
Do you know,
I would still feel
thankful towards him.
Thankful that he didn't make me bear throughthe hardships of a lying relationship alone.
Du Ke Jie!
Is something wrong with your head?
I've been telling you so much, yet you're not listening!
- DIdn't I just... - OK.
OK.
- It's not that...! - I'm only...
I'm only...
Listen to me.
But before someone's done something wrong,
I don't want to be so set on them doing wrong.
That is too tiring.
Anyways Shu Lei and I are doing great.
You don't need to worry.
- No, that's not what I meant. You already know... - OK, OK!
- But you... - It's fine! It's fine!
Excuse me, I'd like to order.
Thank you.
Ke Jie, where on earth are you?
Let's not meet anymore.
If you don't say anything...that means you also agree.
Can you take care of yourself properly?
Is Ke Jie really that irreplaceable to you?
That night...
She must have seen it. Right?
So that is why she is using this method to punish me.
Not even giving me a chance to apologize.
She once told me...
if I honestly admit and tell the truth,
if I do not cross the line, she would forgive me.
I always thought,
if she didn't know,
then it wouldn't hurt her.
She is really, really the last person I want to hurt!
Then what about me?
Then what do you think I'm feeling
when time and time again, you leave me to go back to Ke Jie?!
Do you honestly not think
that I can be sad? That I can hurt as well?!
In the very beginning you knew that you would get hurt.
I have never lied to you.
But I have never thought about losing her.
What you said is correct. This is all my fault.
We shouldn't have ever started.
I hope, you will never get back into a relationship.
Your love will only bring about pain for others.
Ke Jie,
she will come back. Right?
You're her best friend.
You know that she will return.
Right?

We only have water here. Please wait a bit longer.
Yes.
My mother's home.
Mom.
Our landlady is also here?
Mom, she says our contract is already over.
She asks us to move out this weekend.
Mrs. Du. The situation is like this.
Two month prior I had called your husband,
I had told him that if you still plan to continue living here,
please come to me and sign a new contract.
But he has yet to reply me.
I thought you guys didn't want to continue living here.
We want to live here! We really want to continue living here.
Sorry for the inconvenience.These things are usually handled by my husband,
How do I sign a new contract? What do I need to bring to sign it?
But I have already found new people to rent this place.
I have already talked everything through with them. They have already made plans to move in next week.
They also offered 2000 more than you're paying.
Landlady, this situation is our fault.
How about this, we are willing to raise 3000 dollars.
Mom.
We have already lived here for so long,
you have never raised our rent,
just treat it as a thank you for taking such good care of us all these years.
For the new renters, I will go with you to apologize.
And...
Currently our family is in a bit of a crisis,
I seriously don't have any strength left to move.
OK! OK! Since it's 1000 more...
But you must come with me to apologize to them.
Of course! Of course there's no problem. Thank you Landlady!
Than I shall take my leave.
Sorry to trouble you coming all this way.Thank you. Thank you.
Goodbye.
He did this last time too!
He forgot to do taxes, and the inspectors came for us.
Mom.
Just to look for Ke Jie, he has already spent more than half a million!
He's been paying Ke Jie's rent,
but he almost can't pay for his own rent!
I'm having a hard time with Ke Jie going missing too!
But does that mean I can just stop doing anything else?!
How much longer do I have to live like this? I'm sick and tired of it!
Mom.
Hello?
It happened on the mountain?
Quick! Hurry! Hurry!
Go in!
Miss, excuse me.
Mom, look over there!
Help me!
Ke Jie!
Dad is here! Ke Jie!
Dad...
Ke Jie!
Don't be afraid!
Dad is here!
Good girl. I'm almost there.
Sit still. Don't be afraid.
I can't take this anymore. Its no use.
There's no problem, come. Give your hand to dad. Come.
OK. Hold on! See, I got you!Ke Jie don't be scared. I got you.
- I'm so scared! - Hold on!
I don't have any strength left, Dad!
- Hold on! Don't let go! Hold on! - I can't hold on any longer!
No worries! No worries!
Why am I here?
You tripped in the mountains and fainted.
When you were found, you were also very dehydrated.
Thankfully they found you early.
Father, all is well!
They said after you get well, we can go home!
Dad! Save me!
Ke Jie!
What do you plan to do? The doctor says you need a lot of rest!
I fainted. But I heard Ke Jie's scream.
I found Ke Jie!
She was hiding in a creak on the side of a mountain.
It was very dangerous. I held onto her,
but she couldn't hold on. It was so dangerous.
I will go look for her!
Dad! What are you doing?
I got to look for Ke Jie!
She won't be able to come back!
It's already been half a year!
Ke Jie already vanished for half a year! If she was going to come back, she would already have done so!
Did you hear me? Ke Jie won't be coming back!
Have you heard me? Ke Jie won't come back!
Ke Jie is waiting for me! Ke Jie!
Stop looking for her!
Let us go back to our normal live styles, OK?
What if... What if Ke Jie is really gone
Will we ever be able to continue with our lives?
Do you plan to go and die with her?
Than what about me? Than what does Ke Xin and I mean to you?
Ke Jie is not dead, my daughter can not be dead!
- Let me hear you try saying that again! - Mom!
Dad! Where are you going?
Ke XIn, take your mom home with you.
Dad!
Home! Do we still have a home left?
Our good home is already split into pieces!
Do you not understand that?
You can just stay in the mountains and never return!
Mom.
Don't worry! Don't worry!
Ke Xin... Why?
Why does he still have to be like this?
How much longer do I still have to live like this?
Don't worry. Don't worry.
He is trying to muffle me to death?
I've decided to cancel Ke Jie's contract on her apartment.
Her stuff, I will find time next week to collect.
Please quickly return to your normal life.
I believe Ke Jie would want that as well.
What book are you reading now?
Hrabal... (Czech writer)
Stop being so loud.
Now which unknown university student
wrote this kind of
book that can make a person fall asleep after taking one glance?
That's not it.
You know this story is very interesting.
pThe story is about a
person working in a recycling factory,
he doesn't have a family,
he doesn't have a wife or any children.
He has worked there for thirty five years already.
His working environment is
looked upon by others
as if it's dirty and messy.
But to him,
that place is like a heaven.
Because everyday he can readall the papers and books he collects,
letting him learn lots of amazing knowledge.
He says that all the old books that people abandon,
is just like a never ending love story for him.
In an environment that most people look down upon,
he found the joy in reading.
Not to mention, finding important textsfrom the mountain of recycled papers,
giving him such joy.
Just like that.
Of course there's more.
Then continue with your tale.
If you want to know, then read it yourself.
I like the way you look when you tell a story.
That look
is very pretty.
Xiang Shu Lei.
Do you think they gave you a wrong name?
I also think that.
So I gave myself a fake name.
What is it?
It's...
Kan Shu Lei ('reading books is tiring').
So tell me.
Why would he write such a weird book?
That is to make people like you confused.
When people are confused, they're not as childish.
So they learn to grow up.
You wouldn't, one day, take me
like those second hand books,
and throw me into a recycling bin?
No!
I just knew that you wouldn't treat me like that.
I pledge,
I will treat you like waste and throw you out.
That's alright.
No matter where you go,
I will always be following you.
Following you.
♫ I'm forgetting you, no longer faking a smile ♫
♫ How worth it was it to make yourself unhappy? ♫
♫ Bearing this pain...Maybe I just can't forget about you ♫
♫ How could I just forget so easily? ♫
♫ No matter how deep the feelings are ♫
♫ having loved... ♫
♫ I now know that you never love deep enough ♫
♫ If we cannot love each other happily, ♫

The person you are calling is unable to pick up
Please call after a few minutes.
Why are you taking down this advertisement?
My dad?
The person who put up the advertisement is me,
who is my dad to say to take it down?
What do you mean "we're never going to find that person anyways"?
I will find her, and you shall see!
Director, these are the doctor candidates.Please look it over.
I don't want to look at it,and you don't need to have me look at it.
And this director position doesn't suit me.
Director, where are you going?
Don't call me to a meeting.
Hello, Department Head, this is Secretary Xu.
The Director...
"Moreover, we were surprised to discover,"
"while facing the dark, raging waters,"
"there existed a life brighter than sun"
"whiter than the snow,"
"more valiant than the storm."
"All of this... The North Star can attest to all of this."
"No matter which direction you observe it from,"
"with majesty, joy, and strength,"
"with wings that soar above the seagulls,"
"it flies over the snow-capped mountains."
I don't understand why you are reciting a poem to me right now.
Be good, do you understand what this poem is talking about?
It's saying that only by getting through hardships
can you be brighter than the sun,
whiter than the snow,
more valiant than the storm.
I understand. So you're sayingmy dad is just helping me grow.
If he didn't love you,
he wouldn't be testing you now, would he?
Shu Lei.
OK, OK, stop being angry.
Go and apologize to your father.
Don't stand on my dad's side.
"While facing the dark, raging waters,"
"searching for the legend of the heart,the legend of the blood,"
"the myths of the algae and the coral..."
"Under the palms of our hands,"
"the ocean of life..."
"...it's vast, it's warm, it's bright."
Ke Jie, without you,
there's no meaning to my life.
Just what do I have to do
to be able to find you?
Father.
Come here.
This is a record of what you didn't attend to today.
Read it out loud.
This is a record of what you didn't attend to today.
Read it out loud.
Read! Read every single word out loud!
I'm not a grade schooler.
Asking me to read a report, what's the use of that?
There's no meaning?!
We're working very hard to find good doctors.
A single doctor needs to cure how many patients?
And how hard am I working to improve our hospital's quality?
Carefully looking through how to treat patients,
is this really meaningless to you?
A patient's life and death, along with their families feelings,
do you really not care about any of that?
Looking at you.
For a girlfriend, you've become this devastated?!
I asked you to go to the hospital and work
so you wouldn't continue on like this.
People need to keep moving forward!
When your grandma passed away,
I was in the emergency room.
Your grandpa was in the operating room.
I still spent the whole night going through hospital records.
Your grandpa still went on operating and saving people's lives.
What does this represent?
This represents the responsibility that comeswith working in a hospital.
But you, slipping awaywhen there's such an important meeting.
What are you worthy of?
When you have meetings from now on,
focus on what is at hand,on every single task that is assigned to you.
Carefully taking care of every single problem.
At my age,
I still don't dare slack off, even a bit.
Every week I will read the medical journals,
I will go abroad and also learn about various operation techniques.
There has never been a single patient that died in my hands!
That is what a real doctor's attitude should be!
But you... When are you going to learn to take responsibility?
Not taking responsibility of your job.Not taking responsibility of your life.
Why do you deserve to look after another person's life?
An irresponsible person,
doesn't harm only himself.
He will also harm and kill others!
Will my life be stuck like this forever?
Only by working through hardshipswill you become brighter than the sun,
whiter than the snow, and more valiant than the storm.
So you're sayingmy dad is just helping me grow.
If he didn't love you,he wouldn't be testing you now, would he?
Don't stand on my father's side.
Okay, don't be angry anymore.
Go and apologize to your father.
Ke Jie, for you,
I won't run away anymore.
I will endure.
I will stay here quietly,
waiting for you to come back.
"Moreover, we were surprised to discover,"
"while facing the dark, raging waters,"
"there existed a life brighter than sun"
"whiter than the snow,"
"more valiant than the storm."
"The North Star can attest to this."
"No matter which direction you observe it from,"
"with majesty, joy, and strength,"
"with wings that soar above the seagulls,"
"it flies over the snow-capped mountains."
Sis.
Sis, where did you go?
On a big adventure!
Let's finish dancing this dance together.

Preview...A person cannot keep suffering for a past mistake.
I cannot stop blaming myself.
If we wait until I'm 50, and turn old, ugly, and fat,
will you like me then?
It's said the successor will make a speech at the Green Energy Awards. Can you confirm?
Is the successor Director's Cheng son who's abroad?
The press conference officially will start now.
Thank you everyone for your presence today.

I found it!
Do you know where my sister's former boyfriend is?
♫ Three years ago, we were just strangers on the road, ♫
♫ no emotions pulling us to each other ♫
♫ Affection-less, just passing each other by ♫
♫ We were people from two different worlds ♫
♫ But loneliness dictates that our story begins ♫
♫ From lovers, to family, then strangers in the end ♫
♫ I traveled back around, to see our journey thus far ♫
♫ Returning to the start left me so full ♫
♫ I don't want to be the nice guy with a reluctant smile ♫
♫ I'd rather be indifferent, and turn away ♫
♫ But the kind of person you wereis the person you still are ♫
♫ I could only wish you and him a happy life ♫
♫ I'll be a good person and let you go ♫
♫ Is happiness still a possibility? ♫
♫ From this day on, ♫
♫ I hope that love can come again... ♫
♫ And bring about an emotion-filled love song ♫
