A woman's youth is very short-lived.
Do you really like the life between us?
I know I shouldn't have proposed to you in front of Dai Hai An.
Being in love is very hard work.
Getting married in order to avoid falling in love? That isn't right.
We're both a part of her life.
Whether you still have feelings for her or not, it's over between you two.
Don't be so selfish or she'll hate you in the future.
Will you also hate me in the future?
There isn't always a standard answer to everything in this world.
Just follow your heart.
Let's get married, okay?

[Episode 6: Marriage for Women vs. Confusion for Men]
You want to insert the coin?
This involves timing.
See? I win.
This way.
I think these are about to fall.
You want to try?
Just give it a try.
He keeps crashing into me.
Look.
I have won so many tickets. At least 200.
I'm sorry, but we are about to close.
Let's go.
Come here.
What are you doing?
They are closing.
Wait.
What if they lock us in here?
That would be great.
- Let's go. - Trust me, it will be fine. Wait.
Don't go.
Dai Hai An.
Dai Hai An!
- We don't have much time. - Let's go.
- We have to be quick. - What? We are going to get caught.
- Wait, almost done. - Stop playing.
One more time.
- Let's go. - I almost got it.
Perfect timing. It's for you.
Really? Thank you.
It will be our one month anniversary after midnight.
Remember?
- You forgot, right? - Thank you.
Qin Ai...
Qin Ai.
Great news, you have finally--
What?
Li Yang already told me that you are finally getting married.
Look at you.
I just woke up. Shouldn't you be concerned about my health instead?
That's right.
But your marriage is just as important as having woken up.
The reason you held back from getting married was because you were confused.
I do feel a bit confused right now.
Qin Ai.
I hope you are not getting married because you are confused.
No.
That's good.
Li Yang is a great guy.
Even if you are confused, you should still marry him.
Excellent. You are finally getting married. I'm so happy.
Don't you think it's just a stupid scam?
Stop looking around.
Li Yang will be here very soon.
Don't you think you are too overjoyed?
Of course I'm overjoyed.
You are finally getting married.
But have you ever thought that marriage is just a scam?
Why would marriage be a scam?
Why would you come up with such a crazy idea?
The blood clot is slowly getting smaller.
So you shouldn't have to worry about it.
Doctor.
Will this blood clot cause me to see things that I shouldn't be seeing?
Things that you shouldn't be seeing?
Such as hallucinations.
Do you want to see them?
Your blood clot will slowly disappear over time.
Does that mean those hallucinations will also disappear
after my blood clot disappears?
Miss Li, can you tell me what you are seeing?
Are you okay?
Was it also part of your hallucination when you said you wanted to marry me?
Of course not.
This is a hospital.
I want them to envy us.
Enough.
This is all I ask for.
This is real. The realest.
Really?
Are you going to have a Chinese or western wedding?
We haven't talked about that yet.
Fusion weddings are very common nowadays.
Really?
- This is mine. - Has it got your name on it?
- No, but I got it first. - You are about to get married.
If you become as fat as this meat, you won't fit into your wedding dress.
I still have a lot of room. It's none of your business.
- I don't think you do. - You can have another piece.
- Why don't you have another piece? - I still have a lot of room.
- I don't think so. - Stop it, you two.
Have you picked a date for your wedding?
We will do that in the next few days.
That will be the day when Qin Ai will leave home.
You were the one who wanted Sis to get married.
But now you are already starting to miss her.
Do you think it's easy being a mother?
Why don't you try being a mother?
Mom, stop overreacting.
We'll still live nearby in the city.
- We will come back all the time. - You are so sentimental.
All right, let's have dinner.
Start eating, okay.
This piece has a lot of fat. I love it.
Mom.
- My clothes. - Leave it there, I'll wash it later.
- Hey, wait. - What?
Don't just stay in your room and play video games all day.
Can't you go out and meet some friends like other young people do?
Are you trying to rush me into getting married?
No, I don't want you to get married so early.
The later the better.
You are so weird.
You kept rushing Sis to get married, but you want me to take my time.
What kind of logic is that?
Look at yourself. Do you think you are ready to get married?
- You will be a burden to your wife. - What's wrong with me?
You will have to support your family.
How are you going to support your family?
What if you can't afford to hire a babysitter after you have a child?
I really don't want to be your babysitter.
It's okay. My internet wife doesn't want to get married anyway.
What did you say?
Nothing. I said you will finally become a mother-in-law.
Congratulations.
Your clothes are getting burnt.
He certainly runs fast, oh no.
Qin Ai.
Is something troubling you?
Want a drink?
Qin Ai.
You see...
Two different people who were brought up and educated in totally different ways.
They could have been leading totally different lives.
But they still end up marrying each other and starting a wonderful family together.
They will create an even better life together.
I believe it will be a wonderful thing.
Thank you.
Thank you for agreeing to marry me.
You should know that I have always wanted a simple and stable life.
I hope I can take care of your problems for you.
I want to be your shelter from all of the problems out there.
What I want most is for you to feel...
totally carefree when you are with me.
I know we never had any huge ups or downs or ran through the rain together.
It has never been an idol drama relationship.
It is more like the most ordinary family videotape.
No bad guys, nobody else, just the two of us.
Just a simple life.
You know what?
I only learned to appreciate this kind of happiness after I met you.
So...
So it doesn't matter what kind of life I have in the future.
The most important thing is you.
What matters most is that I will have you with me.
I know I said our relationship is not like those in idol dramas.
Will you marry me?
You are so silly.
Family videotapes don't exist anymore.
That was back in the old days.
We broke up a long time ago. We have nothing to do with each other.
Why can't you just leave me alone?
Okay, then tell me.
Are you going to marry him?
That is none of your business anymore.
Give it to me.
It is not itchy at all.
You don't find it itchy?
[Li Qin Ai]
[Dai Hai An, Li Qin Ai]
Come here. I want to tell you something.
Okay, that's all.
Do you really want to get married or not?
What makes you ask that?
If you really wanted to get married
Mom wouldn't have to ask you all the time.
You'd better not follow in Mom and Dad's footsteps.
How do you know that they didn't think about it first?
You only get married if you want to spend the rest of your life with that person.
They probably also thought about it.
But...
people might change.
Some things are inevitable.
So, are you sure? A lifetime.
There are three periods in the history of human marriage.
The first period is finding a wife to increase physical labor.
The second period is for legal birth.
The third period, which is now, focuses on love as the motive for marriage.
My date sent it to me. Sounds stupid, doesn't it?
Yes, what is he trying to say?
He probably wants to tell me that love is not the key factor in marriage.
Giving birth is the ultimate mission in a marriage.
Times have changed.
Marriage has become a lot more complicated.
I thought marriage was about two people being in love forever.
Having children is a totally different topic.
Don't you think it's so sad if you get married in order to have children?
Women aren't born to be baby-making machines.
Okay, it's very important to bring up the next generation.
But does it have to be a prerequisite?
But you can't have babies without men.
I think having children actually make a woman very beautiful.
Being a mother is not easy at all.
It's a much more important job than being a father.
You can do it, too.
Chen Da Fa, you can have as many children as you want.
Are you marrying Li Yang to increase physical labor
have children with him, or because of love?
I have to get back to work.
Li Qin Ai, don't ignore my question.
Why don't we change our next interview topic to girls awaiting marriage?
I'm sure there will be a truckload of girls wanting to express their opinions.
Da Fa, can you tell me why you want to get married?
Did I ever say I wanted to get married?
Did you go on the matchmaking website to look for a man to have children with?
Entering a matchmaking circle is like entering a huge meat market.
So will you just give up after you've had your fun?
The marriage system is about to break down anyway.
Why?
Because...
Because women are evolving while men are deteriorating.
Yes, I'm talking about you!
Women are becoming stronger than ever.
Cowardly men only sit there and pick on women.
Why don't you look at the mirror?
I'm sorry, I forgot that your eyes are too small to see yourself in the mirror.
Do you think you're so handsome that every woman is in love with you?
Excuse me, listen up, men.
Although God used a man's rib bone to create a woman
where would a man's rib bone come from if it weren't for a woman's womb?
Do you agree with that?
But our chief editor is certainly not an ordinary man.
He is the most stylish guy.
Chief Editor.
You two, come into my office.
- Da Fa, bring your womb with you. - My womb?
"To get married or not?"
That is such a boring topic.
Perhaps we should change it to "To make love or not?"
Look at this. "The fear of marriage." Who cares?
It should be, "Was I nervous on my first night or my first time?"
This is like a factual story about marriage.
Who would want to read about facts nowadays?
I have thought about it. Let's not do any more street interviews.
We don't get a return on our investment.
The people on the street are actually quite boring.
A friend of mine has just started a PR company.
You can write a script and he will find the actors.
We can put on a show.
But how can a staged show be a news report?
What news report?
Don't forget, click-throughs, okay?
No click-throughs means no placements, and that means no money.
If we didn't have money, why would we be sitting here?
Da Fa, you can help Qin Ai with her scripts from now on.
You have a lot of crazy ideas.
Try to come up with great lines that can wow the audience, okay?
Okay?
Okay.
Come up with another topic.
I'll send you the information on the PR company later.
I really wanted to beat him up.
- Did I hear wrong? - I also heard it.
I seriously think this world is sick.
So do I.
So Li Qin Ai has decided to get married?
But she is only 31 years old.
Don't you think that is too early?
No, women have less time than men do.
That is not true.
Women generally live longer than men do.
That's not what I mean.
I mean women have less time to look for a partner than men do.
A man can keep looking for another woman.
But once a woman's time expires, she can only wait to get picked.
Don't you think this world is so unfair?
What is so unfair?
Dai Hai An.
Don't you think the competition among women is really fierce?
Can you get me another bottle?
Go on, get me another bottle.
Tell me.
Don't you think the competition between women is really fierce?
Is it any fiercer than our internet market?
A lot fiercer!
Has she been drinking a lot?
Dai Hai An, the most handsome guy in our class.
You know what?
Li Qin Ai is really going to get married.
Really? That's great.
I'm so happy for Qin Ai.
She has finally found a man who will take care of her forever.
Come on, have you got wine there?
Let's propose a toast to Qin Ai.
- Qi Qi, let's have dinner. - Okay.
- Where is Daddy? - I don't know, probably still working.
He is very busy, let's have dinner first.
I'm sure he will come over when he is hungry.
Qi Qi, where are you going?
- What are you looking for? - A lunch box.
Lunch box? Why? I thought they provided lunch at school.
I want to leave some food for Daddy.
Qi Qi.
Remember how I told you that Daddy is not your real daddy?
Yeah, you said other people's parents are married.
But you and Daddy aren't married, so he is not your husband.
That's right. Since Daddy and I aren't married
it's possible that we will have other boyfriends and girlfriends.
I told you that, remember?
- So do you have a boyfriend? - No.
Does Daddy have a girlfriend?
- I don't think so. - That's good.
As long as neither of you has a boyfriend or girlfriend
Daddy will always be with us, right?
But since he is not your real daddy and we are not married
Daddy and I might eventually have separate lives one day.
Will you get angry at us?
But what is the difference between a real daddy and Daddy?
Who cares if you are married or not?
He will always be my Daddy, right?
But...
Since Daddy and I aren't married, he might not stay with us forever.
But even though some of my classmates' parents are married
their daddies still don't come to see them all the time.
That's different.
That's because they got married and then got divorced.
But even though they are divorced, they are still their real daddies.
But Daddy is not your real daddy and we are not married.
- So-- - Then why don't you just get married?
It's getting late. I'll get you a cab.
I don't want to go home.
Then what do you want to do? You can't drink more.
I don't care.
I don't want to go home. There is nobody at home.
All right, be good. I'll get you a cab. Wait here.
Tell me something that women can't do.
Is there anything that women can't achieve?
You know why?
- What do you mean? - Because I'm Wonder Woman.
5941717.
What are you rambling on about?
Even though...
But I'm just human after all.
I am also trying to have a normal life.
To hell with this world.
- To hell with men. - Be careful.
What do you want?
Wonder Woman can always get back up again after she has fallen.
Wonder Woman can go home on her own even though she is drunk.
So, bye.
- I'll take you home. - What is the matter with you?
Only Superman is good enough to take Wonder Woman home in this world.
So do you think you're very handsome and cool now?
People like me...
will never become the main lead in mainstream society.
You are just the supporting actress.
I'm also just the supporting actor.
So don't you think we are the perfect match?
Best supporting actor and best supporting actress.
A perfect match?
Where is my other shoe? Is it in there?
Where are you going?
I'm sorry, sir. Last night was just an accident--
- It's you? - Who else would it be?
Did you bring me here?
Yeah, did you think you got picked up by another guy?
Yeah.
You kept saying Wonder Woman could always go home on her own.
You were so drunk that I couldn't wake you up at all.
You didn't wake up at all even after I removed your makeup.
Did you take out my contact lenses as well?
No.
No wonder my eyes feel so dry.
Did you wash my hair as well?
Of course. You threw up all over your hair.
You only washed my hair for me, right?
Of course.
This place is so high-class.
It must be expensive. Why did you bring me here?
Our company has discount vouchers.
They even have my favorite ketchup.
I made a special request.
I have known you for years but I still don't know what your favorite food is.
I only know that you like ketchup.
So I have ordered one of everything for you.
You can give everything a try.
I will finish whatever you can't finish.
Okay, they all look so delicious.
You can start eating first.
Okay.
And then what?
Then I took a bath.
The jacuzzi spa was so comfortable.
I mean you and Sheng Ren. The two of you.
For all the time that I have lived, it was the first time that...
That I saw such a high-class motel.
I felt like I had wasted my entire life.
I think you are such a spoilsport.
I thought something would have happened between you two.
You mean what happens between a man and a woman?
Of course.
It wasn't like that.
But it felt really good to have somebody with you.
I actually think Sheng Ren would be a really good boyfriend.
For some reason, I think I remember
you going to a motel with somebody before.
Does it really matter?
Why didn't you ever tell me about such an amazing place?
Now that you have been there, what's the big deal?
"What's the big deal?"
Isn't it wonderful?
It used to be such an expensive place for us when we were young.
Now that we have our own money, we can go wherever we want.
But...
But I'm too old for people to want to take me to those places.
That's okay.
I, Chen Da Fa, will work very hard from now on.
Just go if you want to.
You're not married. You can do whatever you want.
"You're not married. Just do whatever you want."
Somebody sounds a bit jealous.
Perhaps she is feeling a bit sad because she is about to lose her freedom.
It is an important turning point in becoming a mature lady.
Financial independence is the basis of true independence, okay?
A long journey through the lonely night.
I cry in my heart through the night.
Do you know that I only want to be with you?
I don't have the courage or strength.
I really can't leave you.
Do you know that I only want to be with you?
What's wrong?
It's so noisy.
Do you like him as well?
It was your recommendation.
What?
You have already been playing for a long time.
Are you angry because I ignored you while I was playing computer games?
- No. - No?
Fine, what are you reading? I'll read it with you.
What does it say? I can't see anything.
Get up.
A long journey through the lonely night.
I cry in my heart through the night.
Do you know that I only want to be with you?
Do you think I sing really well?
Nonsense.
- You want my autograph? - No.
- I will give you my autograph. - No.
Say I love you.
Daddy!
- Daddy! - He insisted on coming over.
Daddy, you didn't come over for dinner again tonight.
You smell of alcohol.
He was worried that you would get hungry.
Thank you, Qi Qi. Come in.
Go on.
He had a sports class today.
He is exhausted. He must have had a lot of fun.
Our one-day courier campaign was very successful.
So GM is really confident in us now.
He is really looking forward to our next project.
So I have already started working on it.
I'll show it to you later. Let me know if you want to make any amendments.
Okay.
I want to tell you something.
Li Qin Ai is getting married.
Really?
I have never thought about getting married at all.
But she has decided to get married just like that.
So what? Life is not just about marriage.
Yeah.
Aren't you happy about the fact that she is getting married?
Should I be happy?
Why did you ask me that? You seem a bit weird.
Nothing.
I mean, at least she knows what she wants.
So do you know what you want?
I do.
But what I want will never belong to me.
What do you mean?
I said the thing that I want will never belong to me.
Then why do you still want it?
What about you?
Do you know what you want?
I was born with a weird horoscope.
No matter what it is that I want, I will always get it.
But whenever I get something new, I will come across something else.
Haruki Murakami wrote that.
For some reason, I couldn't get it out of my mind after I read it.
But I'm beginning to wonder if that is really what I want.
You said Li Qin Ai is getting married.
Let me ask you something.
Do you know what marriage means?
Do you know what married life is like?
Marriage is when two people live together.
They share their emotions, joy and sorrow.
They have to face and solve their problems together.
They will always be part of each other's life and never leave one another.
So marriage is pretty much like our relationship right now.
- I'm going. - Let him sleep for a while.
No, he still hasn't packed his things for tomorrow.
Qi Qi, let's go home. Come on.
- I want to sleep here. - No.
Bao Bei, are you ready?
- Yeah. - You're taking too long.
Auntie, what a coincidence.
- We are ready. - Let's go.
But where are we going?
- You will find out soon. - Yeah, you will find out soon.
The interior is very spacious.
There are four bedrooms, two living rooms, and three bathrooms.
The rooms are conveniently shaped.
Four bedrooms!
We also have 24-hour management, so it's a very secure building.
A park and leisure center are nearby, which are perfect for exercising.
You can also exercise in our indoor gym if you don't want to go outside.
It seems like a very spacious apartment.
Is it going to be just the two of you?
No, Auntie.
It's not just going to be Qin Ai and I living in here.
- Are you pregnant? - Mom.
No, I'm not.
You're not?
Auntie, you're mistaken.
Perhaps you and Bao Bei might want to move in with us.
You are so thoughtful.
But I don't want to move.
Don't say that.
He actually thought about us, right?
It's okay, take your time.
I just wanted to show you this place.
You can go back and think about it.
We have a display apartment here to give you an idea of the layout.
- Would you like to have a look? - Okay, thank you.
Bao Bei, come with me.
- This way, please. - Thank you.
Do you like the view here?
Li Qin Ai.
Mom.
- This is for you. - What is it?
I bought it before I married your dad.
- Is it yours? - Yeah.
What do you think? Pretty, right?
It's disgusting!
What do you mean it's disgusting?
It was really in fashion back then.
The rich housewives always walked around the house dressed like this on TV.
But I never saw you wear it.
I realized those TV dramas were all fake after I got married.
Your grandma was still alive when I got married.
I spent all my time doing housework and looking after your grandma.
How could I find time to wear this and play in the room with your dad?
- You can wear it now, right? - Me?
Why would I wear this at my age?
- I won't laugh at you. - But I will laugh at myself!
Stop joking. You should wear it because you are about to get married.
- But... - It looks really nice. Look at it.
I don't want it.
It is such a waste. It's as good as new.
I never really wore it at all.
Mom, I want to ask you something.
What?
Did you think about what married life would be like before you got married?
People never thought about it that much in the old days.
We thought it was just like TV dramas.
We thought as long as you were happy together, it would last a lifetime.
Then we realized a lifetime is actually a very long time.
A lot of things would happen.
If something is going to happen, it just happens.
You can never stop it and it's totally different from your imagination.
Then do you regret marrying Dad?
Regret?
Of course I did when that happened.
I dedicated my whole life to our family and never got anything in return.
I let your dad focus on his work, but what did I get in the end?
I got a divorce agreement.
Of course I was angry and regretted marrying him.
But I didn't feel the same after I had you and Bao Bei.
Why?
That's just life.
There are losses, but there are also gains.
If I hadn't married him, I wouldn't have had you two.
Your dad can go out and have fun if he wants.
I would rather stay at home with my two babies.
Why didn't you get divorced?
I would have lost if I had signed the agreement.
Mom, is it because you can't forget about Dad?
I know.
I know you are still a little afraid of marriage.
But Li Yang is a great guy, right?
I think the two of you get along really well.
Marriage is like...
Marriage is like running a three-legged race.
Whenever there is a problem, you must work with one another.
You must tolerate one another in order to keep up your relationship.
Li Yang is very tolerant of you.
So it will make your marriage a lot easier.
What you need to do now is settle down your heart.
That way it will be a long-lasting marriage, right?
I did wear it once.
It was our wedding anniversary.
Your dad stayed at work until very late that night.
So I went into the bathroom and put it on.
I was really nervous so I put on some perfume and practiced a few poses.
I don't feel comfortable listening to all this.
I didn't know if your dad would like it.
But once I opened the door, he was already sleeping like a pig.
That was so embarrassing.
- You sure you don't want to wear it? - No, I don't.
I'll give it to my future daughter-in-law instead.
I feel sorry for your future daughter-in-law.
It is so sexy.
- Goodnight, Mom. - Goodnight.
This is for you.
Lipstick.
Mom.
It's okay.
I'll pick up the pieces and clean it up later.
Did you know that your dad wants to get a divorce?
Forget it. There is no point talking about it.
Why are you wearing lipstick so early in the morning?
Did you buy it?
You already knew your dad wanted to get a divorce, didn't you?
No wonder he has been buying you so many gifts lately.
Someone is obviously trying to help him please you guys.
Why?
You're my daughter.
Why did you gang up with them and lie to me?
- Mom-- - Are you on your dad's side now?
Why?
That lipstick must be really pretty. Is it your favorite color?
Do you think it's pretty?
- Off you go. - Mom.
- Just go. - Mom, I really didn't know!
Why?
Go away! I don't want to see you again!
Li Qin Ai.
They're for you.
Li Qin Ai!
Li Qin Ai...
- Li Qin Ai. - I'll never wait for you again.
What do you mean?
Why didn't you go home last night?
Did you come to see me?
- I will never see you again. - I didn't know you were coming.
You didn't know, you didn't know. You never know!
You didn't know I went to see you. You didn't know I was waiting for you.
You always forget about me and neglect me.
That's not true.
I can never find you whenever I need you the most.
Did Zhong Shu Ying pick this bunch of flowers for you?
Or did you buy two exactly the same bunches for the two of us?
- What's the matter with you, Li Qin Ai? - I know you were together last night!
It's the same problem again!
Can't you just trust me, Li Qin Ai?
I'm downstairs.
I'm sorry.
We said we would go to the beach together.
Please come down.
I just want a sense of security.
Why is it so difficult?
I'm sorry. I'm really tired.
Hello?
I'm...
So you didn't change your number.
- Are you asleep? - No.
Well...
I'm downstairs.
- Want to get something to drink? - Okay.
You know what?
Da Fa still puts a Pinky stuffed toy in the office.
Pinky... has three flavors.
Want one?
I was going to ask you a question, but I don't think I have to ask anymore.
You seem very happy.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
I didn't know that you could still buy Pinky.
I thought it was something that existed in the old days.
Yeah.
A lot of new things have emerged nowadays.
So it's a lot harder to make choices now.
But for some reason, I would still choose this in the end.
Maybe it's because you are used to it.
The first time I knew about it was because of you.
So why did you want to see me?
Do I need a reason to see you?
You are still as self-centered as ever.
I didn't come here to be insulted.
I just wanted to catch up with an old friend.
Every time I have this, it reminds me of our high school days.
We were so young back then.
It feels like we haven't done much, but we are already 30 years old.
Don't you think so?
No, you are really successful.
A lot of people admire you.
I really didn't know that you had achieved so much over these years.
I was too impulsive when I went to see you at your place.
I'm sorry.
But I'm very happy to know that you are doing so well.

Should you get married or not? Even you are not sure, right?
You want it?

It will be our one month anniversary after midnight.
Remember?
Happy one month anniversary, Li Qing Ai!
Hey, what are you doing here?
- Let's go. - Hey!
Why is he such a busybody? And how does he run so fast?
Do you like it?
I once believed in a boy.
Good.
I thought I would follow him to the ends of the world.
But that belief was fleeting.
So short-lived.
Now I realize, the final boss is not really that bad.
He just can't keep up with us.
He can't give us what we want.
When he's ready to give us what we want, perhaps we've already moved on.
