Gao Ding Ya, what's wrong with you? What are you trying to do?
Xiao Quan, let's not hide it anymore.
Don't drag me down with you.
- Let go!- I don't plan on ever letting you go!
- Gao Ding Ya! - I'll make it up to you later.
See this?
The is the real me.
He is the one I truly love.
I'm really sorry.
I hope that you will all be strong like me and go pursue the man that loves you.
You are a liar!
You wait and see. I won't let this go.
The three of us lost to the evil fox.
Evil fox?
Why did you hit him?
Why? Does your heart ache?
Can we be a bit more civilized?
I would also like to love a girl the right way, but I really can't do it.
Even if you kill me, it's useless.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Is that enough?
Forget it. Even if we continue to fight, we will just embarrass ourselves.
Li Li, Xiao Ya, I give up.
Let's go.
Enough!
Turns out the one Xiao Quan loves is him.
No wonder why he was never interested in me.
It's okay. It's okay.
Thank you.
- The 3 of you are...? - We work here.
We're Brother Quan's "Three Treasures."
Sister Hua is pretty and smart.
Fat Da is forever hungry,
and Sister Ru is fine as long as she has Brother Quan.
Okay, okay, we won't talk about it.
So you saw everything that just happened?
Brother Qian, she's not the only one that saw it. We all saw it,
and she stood there for a very long time.
I'm sure she saw more "interesting scenes" than me.
Please stop talking.
- I won't bring it up anymore.- I'll explain later.
I have to go change. We'll talk outside.
Okay, don't cry. Don't cry.
It's alright.
Just now, that guy was Gao Ding Ya.
He is a very good friend of mine.
You don't have to explain.
I've seen him before.
You've seen him?
Yes.
You are a perfect match for each other.
What perfect match?
You have it all wrong.
Things are not as you think they are.
Sometimes what we see with our eyes is not the truth.
It might be a hallucination.
In such situations, he is...
Is there something on my mouth?
No, nothing. It's just that you don't have to explain. I understand. I understand.
- You really understand? - I really understand.
I'll be leaving first.
Yes! Oh right. Why did you come here today?
I...
Look at my brain. Actually, I had something to do around here.
Shao Qi asked me to bring over some chocolate that he brought back from Shanghai for you to eat,
but I was in such a hurry that I forgot.
Forgetting is good. Everything that happened today, I've already forgotten.
I'll be leaving first then. Bye bye.
Not that. Jiang Xiao Qian!
She still didn't understand.
Is your company out of coffee? I can't find it anywhere.
After all this, you want me to make coffee for you?
- Huh? - Ding Ya.
I'll make the coffee for you.
Okay, then I'll trouble you.
That's right. It's better for Sister Hua to make the coffee.
Ah Ru might poison your coffee.
Poison? Why would she poison the coffee?
Ah Ru liked Brother Qian for a long time now.
You didn't know?
What are you doing?
This is a great theme for discussing promiscuity.
Hello, Brother Ding Ya. May I ask how you feel after exposing the secret that you are gay?
Let's not talk about that right now.
So you are saying... you are going back into the closet?
I really don't want to face this problem in the morning.
Stop recording!
You forced Brother Quan out of the closet, and you want to hide now!?
You really are a horrible person.
My mood has already been all over the place today.
Can we all just work and not worry about me?
Ah Rong, don't worry. I won't hurt your Brother Quan.
Sister Hua, just deliver the coffee to my office.
Gao Ding Ya, you better explain everything.
To save your skin, you dragged me down.
- Yes. - Yes?
- Don't you feel guilty? - Aiya...
If there are guilty feelings between the two of us, then we aren't that close.
If feeling guilty is beyond your level,
then what about shame?
Do you have that?
I have something more precious. Loyalty.
Don't worry. When you need help in future, I will help you.
Don't worry. I don't need such help.
See! That's the best. I'm very grateful.
As your brother, there's no need for thanks. How embarrassing.
What you did before is truly embarrassing.
Don't sit in my seat!
Let me hide here for a bit. I'll leave after finishing my coffee. The employees outside are all really weird.
One wants to videotape me and the other one wants to poison me.
Ah Ru loves you, doesn't she?
Stop talking nonsense.
I seriously care about you. You always reject love. You'll get sick.
You love being in multiple relationships at the same. The person who should be getting sick is you.
If you can love just one person, who would want to cheat?
Everyone has to try. Okay?
To find that perfect person.
Before that perfect person appears, isn't it reasonable to want to meet and get to know more people?
So hurting others is reasonable?
They are too serious.
The concept of dating is different.
Dating and being in a relationship before you get married
are worlds apart.
No matter what. Your life is worth it.
You are so great. You could get three girls to continue being your friend. Don't break up because of me.
- Then our relationship is broken.- Aiya!
I love you the most. You know that.
Brother Qian, I'm sorry.
See... you're getting your punishment already.
Now the whole world thinks we are a couple.
I'm going to see how you can pick up woman now.
Not the whole world.
Just a couple small employees in your company.
Oh, this morning, who was that lady?
Ex-girlfriend.
Gao Ding Ya, why are you so afraid?
Did you think we would really believe you guys?
Why is this video circulating?
One of the three girls most likely made it.
So, are they really in a relationship?
Of course it is true! He is really GAY!
This is such a strange and complicated feeling.
What's so strange about it?
I've actually been in love with him before, but he is gay.
Then, what's the deal with our past?
Didn't you find him to get an answer on why you split up in the past?
Now you found it.
You are right. I've found it. But...
Stop thinking about "buts." It's not important and you don't need them.
You are doing well now, aren't you?
For your first love, I think it was real torture.
Why is it such "torture?" He now has a loving boyfriend.
I'm not talking about now. I'm talking about the past.
Shouldn't you look at it from another perspective?
The man you loved at that time, how much pain was he in?
Ten years ago, society wasn't as open.
He must have been more desperate to hide it in the past than now.
It's true.
But based on what you said, was I just being used then?
Did you feel that he was just using you and wasn't true to you?
It's also not that. It's not fair to say it like that.
I felt that he was true to me at that time.
Then why are you having doubts?
For him, he has tried.
It doesn't matter who he loved or loves.
He has already given you his sincere heart.
Or maybe he feels regret.
Maybe he thought that he wouldn't need to see you after graduating.
Who knew you will meet again and discover his ugly side?
Actually, what you saw is enough to explain the past.
A lot of the questions you had, I'm sure they are now answered.
When dating, who can be certain it will last forever?
But as long as there was devotion involved...
then it's all worth it.
You're so stupid. How cute!
How am I cute?
Your hands are dirty.
Jiang Xiao Qian, come here!
I was wrong. I was wrong!
-Let me get your face too! -No, no, no!
I'll get dinner ready.
♫ The sparrow outside the window is chattering on the telephone pole ♫
♫ You said that this sentence gives off a very summer-like feeling ♫
♫ The pencil in my hand moves back and forth on the paper ♫
♫ I use a few rows of words to describe what you mean to me ♫
♫ You and the cat both want to know the taste of sanma fish ♫
♫ We rediscovered the scent of first love just like that ♫
♫ The warm rays of sunlight were like bright red strawberries freshly plucked ♫
♫ You said you couldn't stand to eat this kind of feeling ♫
♫ Rain fell the entire night, my love overflows like rainwater ♫
I'll check the tent.
♫ The leaves falling in the yard pile up along with my longing for you ♫
♫ Even a few disputed sentences cannot cool my enthusiasm ♫
♫ You appear in every page of my poem ♫
♫ It rained all night ♫
♫ My love overflows like rainwater ♫
Xiao Quan stayed outside the tent all of that night.
He didn't come in to sleep the whole night.
He must have been really sad back then.
No matter how hard you try, you aren't able to succeed.
I'm already an adult.
Now, I understand everything.
I understand how you were feeling.
♫ I just want to be in love, I want to be dazed ♫
♫ Weird spirits please get away from me, Away from Cloud 9 ♫

Honey! You're here!
Ok. Call me when it's done.
Right. Ok, let's talk later. Bye bye. Hi.
I didn't know you would be home so early. There's groceries in the fridge. Let me make you dinner.
Dear.
It's still too early for dinner. How about
we see a movie? We haven't been in a long time.
After the movie we can go out to eat, ok?
Actually, I'm just here to change clothes.
So you're going out again?
Yes. I still have a dinner appointment with Director Chen.
Alright.
Then will you be late?
I hope I can end by 10 pm.
Or, do you want to come along?
It's alright. As you know, I don't like those kind of social events.
It's alright. Go ahead. You know I'm good at finding things to occupy my time.
Or, if it's not too late, I'll rent a DVD to watch together?
That's good. But don't rush. Work is more important.
- Alright. I'll get going. - Bye
Biscuits, now it's just the 2 of us.
Hey! Hey! Don't! Don't!
Hey! Don't!
Are you mad? This is expensive! What is wrong with you!
Can't you see what's wrong? I'm not renting to you anymore.
How can you do this? We signed a contract!
I can return your deposit to you. I can compensate you any amount.
In conclusion, I don't want to see you anymore.
Alright, I can move away, but please give me some time to find a new place.
That is your problem. We are unable to live with such a tenant.
I'm not able to face people like you!
What do you mean "people like us?"
It's great you are back. Move your things.
I'm fine with renting to anyone but not people like you!
Hey. This is discrimination!
So what? Bite me!
Fine. I can understand that you are in a bad mood,
and I can accept that you don't want to rent to your ex-boyfriend,
but I don't like what you are saying.
My love has been dirtied. So what if you don't like it?
I just feel that you are pathetic.
There's so many women, but you don't love them. You just love this thing
who is the same gender as you. I feel ashamed for your parents!
Hey, hey, hey... That's enough.
It's my fault. I apologize. I admit it.
But... there's no need to drag his parents into this.
Hey, get going.
Liking someone or loving someone. Can it be controlled?
- If you want to scold me... - I don't have the rights to scold you.
I just feel
bad for my boyfriend.
He is right not being with you.
Being in love is something everyone wishes for,
but you just can't have it. What to do?
"Bite me?" But there's no need to curse my parents.
If you don't even have basic manners, it's right that you don't have anyone to love you.
What are you saying?
My dear, here.
So now we are showing off to you. How is it?
Let's go, dear.
Why did you follow me in?
Huh?
It's because I'm upset, and I'm more upset with you.
You caused me to be homeless, and I have to stay here.
It's alright. I'll accompany you.
No. This space is too small. Get away.
Why are you being like this? Aren't we roommates?
We were, but we got kicked out by the landlady so that relationship is over.
Why are you so heartless? We are good brothers.
Yes, but even good brothers keep clear accounts.
Let's put a stop to the misunderstanding now. In the future, we're just colleagues and I'll still work with you on cases.
As for your private life, we should keep a good distance.
Gao Ding Ya. Get up!
Hey... Hey... Hey... Are you serious?
- Go...- Don't be so heartless! Where am I supposed to stay?
Hey! Hello? Hey. Yo-hooo!
Are you being serious?
Ding Yu, is that you?
Dinner is almost ready!
Mom, it's me.
Is it Ding Ya?
Ayio, Ding Ya!
My good son, you are home!
What is that? Why are you carrying such a big bag?
Mom, I am probably going to move back home for a while.
Did something happen?
No, nothing. I just had an argument with the landlord and decided I didn't want to live there anymore.
So I wanted to move home for a while. As soon as I find another place, I will leave.
What do you mean, when you find a place, you will leave? Why are you in a hurry?
This will always be your home. To have you live with us,
you don't know how happy I am.
- Thank you, Mom. - But if you want to come home,
you should at least call and let me know. I only prepared a few dishes.
Is it enough? Should I make 2 more?
No, Mom. I am not a guest. There's no need to trouble yourself.
What do you mean a guest? It's no trouble at all.
I'm not done cooking anyway.
I don't cook until your brother and your sister-in-law are off work.
Ding Yu likes hot soup and hot food.
I can't start cooking early. They don't like the food once it's cold.
I'll cook 2 more dishes.
Okay. Grandma, we are home!
- Hey, you are home! - You are home. Long time no see.
Okay. Wei Wei's home! The food is almost ready. I'm going to go finish cooking.
Uncle, I want a drink.
Okay, I will get it for you.
- Here.- Thank you.
Uncle, how come you are here today?
- Uhm...- Hey, Ding Ya!- Ding Ya.
How come you are home today?
That... I might be moving home for a while.
Oh? So suddenly?
Wei Wei, why are you drinking a beverage?
We are going to eat. Go put the drink on the table.
Kids, they don't understand yet.
Mom, are these dishes leftovers?
Yes, yes, yes. We didn't finish it.
I figured it'll be a waste to dump it.
So if it can still be eaten, I'll eat it.
You all can eat the fresh dishes I made today.
Let me put my bag down.
Big bones have heavy metal.
If you keep cooking them, it'll be bad for your body.
Didn't Ting Ru just remind you last time?
Look, you forgot again.
- Next time, I'll change it. - Okay.
Mom, I'm a bit hungry. I'm going to eat first.
You eat first. Eat. I'll cook 2 more dishes.
I'll be fast.
Wei Wei! Gao Wei Wei.
Didn't I say it already? You can't play the toys.
But Grandma says it's okay.
Let's eat first. Go, go, go, go.
Weren't you very hungry? Excuse me, Uncle. To the table!
Don't you want to wait for Mom to eat together?
You don't have to wait for me. It's just 2 dishes. I'll be quick.
- Didn't you love fried chicken? - Mm.
Help him get more food.
Here... Here.
♫ I just want to be in love, I want to be dazed ♫
♫ Weird spirits please get away from me, Away from Cloud 9 ♫
I love you...and you love me...
Gao Ding Ya, why are you such a coward?
-What are you all looking at?-Hello, Vice President.
Uh, Vice President... They...
Close it.
- Vice President! Hello, everyone. - Director. Sorry to trouble you, making you come in.
It's part of my job.
Please have a seat.
What's wrong? Why is everyone looking so weird?
It's nothing. Let's start.
You still remember the dinner tonight, right?
Yes, one of the co-workers told me.
I also invited Xiao Qian. You were classmates, it should be okay?
Of course it's okay.
- Morning, Mom.- Hey.
Son, you're awake?
So early.
Don't you usually sleep until noon?
I woke up from the noise.
I'll tell them tomorrow and ask them to keep it down
so they won't wake you up.
Hey, is it like before?
You wake up and the first thing you do is...
drink a cup of coffee. I will make it for you.
Mom, I can do it.
Have you eaten breakfast?
Not yet.
I can't.
When you have kids at home. One wants this, one wants that.
Let me tell you, I am very busy every morning.
But Gao Ding Yu isn't a child,
and Sister-in-law should be helping you.
You really don't have to do everything for them.
Your brother and sister-in-law both work and are both busy.
I have nothing better to do.
It doesn't matter to me. Having something to do makes it less boring.
- Mom. - Okay.
Smells so good. My son made a cup of coffee out of love.
Yep, I have the most conscience. Unlike those who live off of others...
How can you say that?
If you say it like that, you make it seem like I'm sad.
There is no good or bad. A few days ago, your sister-in-law
gave me some clothes.
She said her friend gave them to her.
I think she probably didn't like them.
Hmm... How can you say that?
Like it or not, the clothes can be worn.
If she doesn't wear them, I'll wear them. It doesn't matter who wears them.
We are a family. If you say it like that, it doesn't seem like we are a family.
How long has it been since you bought new clothes?
Five years.
Eh? Wait.
Why are you asking this? I've forgotten.
Who remembers how long it's been since they've bought new clothes? The clothes aren't even ragged.
There's no difference.
Of course there's a difference. You can't be like that.
Every woman should dress themselves to be pretty.
Do you know what line of work your son does?
- I know. - Then that's right.
One day, I'll take you to get a fashion haircut.
Then you can pick some clothes for free.
If it's like that, it seems like I earned it.
Of course. Having a son like me, you earned it.
Okay! That's great!
Then I won't be modest. You'll have to spend some money.
I have to make lunch boxes.
Huh? What lunch boxes?
I have to deliver Wei Wei's lunch.
You have to go to school and deliver lunch for Wei Wei?
Wei Wei only eats my lunch once a week.
He doesn't like the lunch from school. He only likes the food I make.

How is it? Are you satisfied with the entrees?
Thank you, Vice President, for taking care of this. Everything was great.
- The desserts are great too. Try some. - Okay.
Were you guys good friends before?
- Uh, I... - We aren't considered good friends. I don't know much about his life.
Oh?
Yes. Just like that day I saw him at the company.
I almost didn't recognized him. We haven't contacted each other in a while.
So it's fate that you guys meet again.
Let's raise our glasses for this reunion...
And to have a successful collaboration.
Thank you, Vice President.
Don't call me Vice President. Call me Shao Qi.
- Okay. - Here, Cheers.
You still don't drink?
Shao Qian gets sick if she drinks.
And she has to drive. You won't mind will you?
Or do you think we should have some alcohol for this reunion?
Of course I don't mind.
Oh right... Do you have an opinion on the male lead of the microfilm?
I think we should get Jacky to be it.
Lately, he's been doing movies related to youthfulness. I think it'll be quite beneficial for the movie.
Like we discussed during the meeting, I hope the movie can
have that first love, heartthrob feeling, while also showing the sentiment of being heartbroken.
Okay. I am really excited.
I think this story is fantastic and you are really talented.
You are a very courageous person.
Courage?
Using loneliness and growing up to
sell a house. Don't you think that's a courageous idea?
I have to thank you for your support.
If everything goes smoothly, this film can be finished sooner.
Oh yes?
Really? Then you can go traveling with me.
Ok, where would you like to go? You can decide.
Hmm, I have to think about it. You eat first. I'm going to the restroom.
After we got married, I've spent less time in Taiwan.
Xiao Qian isn't used to living in Shanghai. She says she feels more comfortable in Taiwan.
This is a situation that can't be changed. Nowadays, the global workforce
already has an uncontrollable trend of married couples not living together.
I still have to thank you for giving us a chance to go on a vacation.
You're too nice. I'm just doing what I'm suppose to.
Excuse me.
President, please speak.
Yes... In a bit?
That's okay. Go.
Okay, then let's meet later. Bye bye.
I'm sorry. The President wants to discuss something with me.
Then in a bit, please send Xiao Quan home for me.
That's okay. I can get a cab myself.
Don't be so polite. Just think of it as your collegue sending you home.
Okay. Here.
Thank you.
♫ ♫
Do you really not need me to take you home? My car is just parked right up there.
There's no need. A guy letting a girl send him home, that doesn't look good.
I'll walk with you to your car.
You don't have to act manly in front of me. It's not like we don't know each other.
That's right. Who's the one that told her husband that we don't know each other?
Aiyo... The past is in the past.
There's no need to have more worries. Plus, there's really no need to mention it in front of him.
That's true.
What is it?
Are you cold?
♫ ♫
Here.
Use this.
Take it.
Then I won't be polite. Thanks.
♫ ♫
Actually, we could be friends.
So before, you decided not to be friends with me?
I didn't want to before,
but afterwards I thought about it and realized there are many hardships with life
that you need to solve by yourself.
Also, a lot of things I didn't understand before
I understand now.
What do you understand?
Truthfully, that day I was happy to go see you.
That day?
That day, seeing that resolute kiss...
it really seemed like the you from over ten years ago in the tent.
Also, in truth, that kiss
made the 22 year old Xiao Qian jealous.
No... Jiang Xiao Qian.
I really am not.
Eh, I've already said it so frankly...
How many difficult issues do you have that your heart can't resolve?
I don't have any issues that can't be resolved, but I really am not.
Fine, fine. If you don't want to admit it, it's okay.
After all, it's not easy to admit your sexual orientation in front of your ex-girlfriend.
- Well, aren't you just annoying? - I'm definitely not annoying!
I am now a mature adult. I am whole heartedly wishing you well.
Also, and when you need it, I can also give you a warm hug.
Do you need one now?
That's okay. Thanks.
Alright. At least let me take you home then.
It's so cold today.
My car is just right there.
Get in the car.
♫ ♫
We're here. Thanks.
Here. Thank you.
I'll get my stuff.
Thank you for sending me home.
- You're welcome. - Drive safely.
- Bye bye. - Bye.
♫ Maybe you don't love yourself enough, Forcing yourself to do it again and again ♫
Regarding all the things from the past, I'm at ease now.
♫ Reminding yourself repeatedly you should go forward, It's not that I haven't tried ♫
This is what growing up is really about. I'm proud.
I gave my blessings to my first love,
and I'm sincerely regarding him as my friend.
I did it.
♫ There's no need to cherish it so much ♫
♫ I just want to be in love, I want to be dazed ♫
♫ Weird spirits please get away from me, Away from Cloud 9 ♫
Husband, what are you doing?
You're up?
I just drank some wine and I'm a little hungry.
I'm making some noodles.
Why didn't you just get me up and ask me to cook?
It's okay. I can do it myself.
I'll cook it for you. You were busy the whole day and had a social with clients.
I'll cook. I cook faster.
Okay, but I...
Alright, no more buts. I cook faster...
Here, wipe your hands. It'll be ready soon.
Did you call mom today?
Today?
I haven't yet. Why?
It's nothing. Two days ago I bought a scarf for her.
I said that you bought it for her. If you talk to her, don't make a mistake.
Okay, thank you.
You're welcome.
Instructor Wu's dog Xiao Hei from the first floor had puppies.
There were a couple of them and they're so cute. but there were a few that were black and white.
So Instructor Wu became really angry and kept questioning his dog.
Don't you think that's funny?
If we have a chance, how about we get a dog?
Husband, the noodles are ready.
Gao Ding Yu.
Isn't this Ding Ya?
Look.
It really is Ding Ya, and the clip's click-through rate is quite high.
He frequently goes on fashion shows, and can be considered well-known...
But this clip... Ahh.
Isn't this Uncle?
Children are not allowed to watch. You didn't see did you?
The bread is ready.
Okay.
- Mom, you've worked hard. - Thanks, Mom. - It was nothing.
What's wrong? What are you watching? Why can't Wei Wei watch?
It's nothing, Mom, it's the internet.
Someone put some type of spoof up.
I just saw Uncle kissing another man.
Which Uncle?
Oh... He calls anyone who is about the same age as Ding Yu "Uncle."
Yep, he calls anyone similar to my age "Uncle," right?
Ah... Wei Wei, we are going to be late.
That's right. I have to go to work and you have to go to school.
Mom, we are leaving now.
Mom, bye bye.
- Let's go. - Say bye to Grandma.-Bye, Grandma.
Bye. Take good care of the child, okay?
- Drive safely. - Okay, okay.
In such a rush,
they didn't even eat breakfast. It's all still here.
What's the rush?
What are they watching so secretly
that they won't even let Wei Wei watch?
I'll watch.
- Why are you so cowardly? - Did you think we would believe you guys?

Mom, what are you watching so intensely?
He made our shared past into the plot of the mini-film.
You've seen my storyboard? So you're not feeling too great.
Why are you humiliating me like this? Why are you shaming our love?
♫ Are you smiling? Are you crying? ♫
♫ I can't see ♫
♫ You want to break free, You want freedom ♫
♫ Aren't you tired? ♫
♫ Your expression, Can you just ♫
♫ let me find some clues? ♫
♫ Don't be afraid, Please hold my hand ♫
♫ Smiling with a mask on ♫
♫ Pretending you're strong, but you're actually more vulnerable ♫
♫ Don't let your face be filled with pain anymore ♫
♫ Just let it go ♫
♫ Let happy tears flow ♫
♫ Have sadness be completely removed ♫
♫ This world is waiting to be inspired by you ♫
♫ Everywhere in this world ♫
♫ is inspirational ♫
