[My Story For You]
[Episode 8]
- What did you say? - You broke my things.
- You broke my things! - What did I break?
- You tell me what you broke. - I didn't break anything!
- You cursed at me first. - I didn't curse.
- You destroyed my things! - What are you saying now?
- I said you broke my things. - What did I break?
- You broke my things! - Stop fighting.
- What did I destroy? - Enough!
- Which of you called the police? - I did.
Tell me what's going on.
She and her boyfriend were fighting.
I told them to leave and not to affect my business.
In the end, they teamed up to beat me up.
So what if we did?
You keep quiet for now.
How could I not call the police?
This owner yelled at us! How could he yell at customers?
What are you going to do about it?
- You broke my things! - What things?
- You yelled at us first. - Enough, stop arguing.
- You're the manager, right? - Yes.
- Let's step aside for a word. - Okay.
You two wait here for now.
Let's go.
- Mom, I-- - I got it.
Eat up.
Mom, I have an exam after New Year's. I'm going to stay at the dorms.
I'll be leaving tonight. Prepare some clothes for me.
You won't be home for New Year's?
I'm afraid to slack off.
Look at Chang Gong. In just one year of working, his salary has tripled.
In the current society
I truly think that going to college sets us back too much.
I should've started working first like he did.
I'm really afraid I'll miss out on this dot-com boom.
Chance favors the prepared mind.
Chang Gong has always been interested in computers.
That field is right for him.
You should focus on studying.
You will have your own opportunities in the future.
Mom, you have such profound things to say today.
I've been reading all sorts of books to keep up with you and Mei Xin.
If I can't help you, I should at least understand you.
Mom, the best decision I ever made
was choosing to live with you instead of with Dad.
Don't mention him.
Xiao Shan, it's New Year's Day tomorrow. You're going back to school?
Auntie, I'm going back to the dorms to study. Exams are coming up.
All right. I'm going out with your mom tomorrow anyway.
She won't be free to cook dinner for you anyway.
All right, Auntie. I'm going to go.
Okay, be safe.
Don't worry. It's New Year's Eve. A lot of people are out tonight.
- True. Go on, then. - Bye, Auntie.
Here we are.
- This is the train station. - This is it?
Here you go.
It's so late. Why did you want to see me?
I'm inviting you to a Millennium celebration event.
I can't. The dorm's doors close at 12 o'clock sharp.
You don't trust me?
I do.
It's New Year's. I'll trust you this once.
Come on.
- Right now? - Yes.
Okay.
Hold on.
I don't think sitting like this is safe.
I don't want to start off the new year with a tumble.
Get comfortable. We're taking off!
Okay.
Go slower!
Zhang Chang Gong, go slower! Why are you going so fast?
If we're late, we won't get good seats!
Hold on to me. Put your hood on. It's cold.
I'm not falling for that!
What was that? I couldn't hear you above the sound of the wind!
- Can we drink beer later? - No!
- What? I couldn't hear you! - I said, no drinking!
Okay, we're drinking!
I didn't bring money!
- Are there any more openings? - No.
All seats were reserved in advance for New Year's Eve. Go somewhere else.
- Check again. - No seats.
- Just check again. - There really aren't any seats.
Excuse me, excuse me.
- Excuse me. - Give me your ticket.
Here.
Look, he has tickets.
- Why didn't you book in advance? - Go in.
- Thank you. - I didn't know!
You can take off your jacket. It's hot in here.
I'll go get drinks.
Thank you.
Don't drink so much.
That's enough.
Didn't you say your face gets red when you drink?
That means you're allergic to alcohol.
It's best if you don't drink, but it's a special occasion today.
Have a sip to mark the celebration.
I want to drink, so stop being so long-winded.
You had everything arranged but didn't tell me!
Same with you.
What did I do?
You forgot? You took me to visit your veteran last time.
My entire back was wet when I walked out of there.
Really? How come I didn't notice?
My grandpa is so good-natured.
There's a limit to how much mental stress I can bear!
Welcome to Li Zheng's Bar.
Tonight, we step into a new millennium.
I'm sure everybody present was meant to be here today.
If you're single, you might find true love here.
To the lovers here, you've outlasted a millennium!
Next year, it should be about time to get married!
Yes!
Okay. Next up, we have a performance from our band.
We'll be having a raffle drawing and a game segment.
Don't miss out.
Okay, let's enjoy ourselves as we wait to count down to midnight!
Here's to hoping the world doesn't end.
Here's to hoping we'll still see the sun tomorrow.
What if the world ends at midnight?
Then I won't have to work tomorrow!
Right! I won't have to take exams!
- Who is it? - Me.
Coming!
- What is it, Du Juan? - Are you getting ready for bed?
It's almost midnight.
Midnight? But it's New Year's Eve!
All the children are gone. Come to my house to celebrate.
We're not young anymore. You still have it in you to celebrate?
Enjoy life! Come on!
Then I'll get changed. Give me a moment.
Nobody's here?
Chang Gong is out celebrating with a friend
and won't be back until tomorrow morning.
Since he's not here
Han Dong brought his girlfriend and her son over.
I'm guessing the child is sleeping already.
Seeing his girlfriend and her son, I'm reminded of my past.
This generation truly is different.
I was afraid Xiao Shan would be treated unfairly by a stepfather
so I didn't want to get remarried.
You worry too much.
I actually think Chong Jia You has quite a lighthearted perspective.
Think about it. She's beautiful and knows how to dress up.
She can even support a child on her own.
Other than having a child already, she's marvelous in every way.
Why shouldn't she remarry?
But, young people nowadays are unpredictable.
Look, I thought Chang Gong would end up with Xiao Ai.
- True. - Let's go.
Chong Jia You.
My stomach hurts. Will you rub my belly?
Here.
I have a wife, kid, and a warm bed. Plus a music store.
I'm winning at life.
You don't mind that Xiao Shan isn't your child?
How can you have such a conservative mindset
in this day and age?
In another 10 minutes, we'll be in a new century.
You still have such old-fashioned thinking.
Chong Jia You, you really break my heart.
It's going to be okay, Jia You.
I'm going to go home tomorrow and talk to my mom.
Oh, right. I bought so many clothes today and you didn't try on any of them.
You'll have to try on every outfit and show me tomorrow.
Okay.
Mom, I can't sleep.
You should've said so sooner! Come on, I'll take you to see the festivities.
Okay!
Do you encounter these problems every day?
Sometimes.
Isn't this a waste of police resources?
They're just arguing and bickering. There's no violence.
It's already considered major.
Any time there's a problem, people call the police.
This morning, a woman said she lost her son.
I got there and it turns out she had lost her cat.
- Isn't that annoying? - Why?
When I put on this uniform, I have a responsibility.
You're right.
Still, this has severely undermined the serious image I had of the police.
Turns out we can call the police for just about anything.
Okay, now we move on to game time.
We all know how to drink, but who can drink the fastest?
I'll be inviting eight men up to the stage for a contest.
The winner can take home this koala behind me!
Koala? I'm in!
Okay, come on up. Anybody else?
- I'll do it! - You, you, and you.
- Don't drink. - The one in the back.
Wait for me to win it.
What if you get drunk? I won't be able to get back.
I won't.
Let me go over the rules.
You'll all use the straw to drink the beer in front of you.
However, only your mouth can touch the straw
and your hands must not touch the glass
or you will be disqualified.
- Are you all ready? - Yes!
Okay, since you're all ready, we'll now count down to start.
Three, two, one, begin!
Go, go, go! Go, go, go!
Yes! Finished!
We have a winner!
You drank so fast!
- What's your name? - Zhang.
Since you're the winner, this koala is now yours.
Thank you.
You seemed very confident when you came on stage.
Were you determined to win?
There's no game I can't win, especially here.
This is my home court.
The prize is what I want the most: a koala.
Hey, this is my turf. How did it become your home court?
I met a girl online. Her online username is Koala.
This place was also where we first met in person.
It seems like my bar has been quite a significant place for you.
This might seem tacky but..
why don't you take this extremely rare chance
to tell her those three words on your mind?
Yes! Three words! Three words!
Three words...
No, I... We're still friends.
Don't boo me.
Happy New Year, Mu Zi!
Happy New Year!
You're being such a coward!
Confess your feelings to her!
That's not something to make fun of.
Happy New Year, Mu Zi.
Happy New Year.
Everybody, take this moment
to tell your significant other those three words.
- Chen Bin, I love you! - I love you too!
- Yang Zhi, I love you! - I love you too!
- I love you! - I love you too!
Happy New Year.
The host was just trying to liven up the atmosphere. Don't mind them.
I didn't take it seriously. No need to explain.
10! 9! 8! 7!
It's time for the countdown already!
Five! Four! Three! Two! One!
Happy New Year!
Fireworks!
Xiao Shan, be careful.
Look, look!
It's 2000!
Yes, it's 2000!
You're so smart.
- Auntie, Happy New Year. - Happy New Year.
Happy New Year!
It's 2000!
It's 2000 and the world didn't end.
Since the world didn't end, let's hug.
What are you doing? I'm still on duty.
Can I at least report something to the police?
Officer, please help.
I had my heart broken.
You're heartbroken?
It's 2000 and the world didn't end.
Make a new start.
Are you working all night?
When this is over, my work is done.
Then stay out all night with me.
I'm sure a lot of people will be staying up tonight.
I have work tomorrow.
There'll be hazards with so many people out of bed tonight.
Pretend you're patrolling the city to maintain law and order.
I swear I won't hug you again.
All right?
Don't be so dull!
So I'll take that as a yes.
I'll get a room for you.
You can stay there until morning and then I'll take you back.
That's not necessary.
You'll sleep in the room.
There are chairs in the lobby. I'll sit and wait for you.
I was going to take you to my house but Han Dong has his girlfriend over.
She also brought her child.
There won't be enough room to sleep.
All right, you go in first.
Page me the room number and then I'll come up.
Okay.
Hello.
Hi, I'd like a standard room.
Sorry, no more rooms. We're booked full tonight.
It'll be the same everywhere. All the rooms have been booked by couples.
My sister is at work and won't be back tonight.
You can sleep in her room.
Come.
This is my sister's room.
Sleep here. I'll wake you in the morning.
Go.
Goodnight.
I think I heard a noise outside.
One is at work and the other said he won't be back tonight.
You're just being paranoid. Go back to sleep.
All right, go to bed. I don't have time to play with you.
Officer Li.
Don't you have any New Year greetings for me?
Don't come in to the police station so often anymore.
What if I want to see you?
Outside of the station. Bye.
Mom!
- What? Coming! - Mom!
Mom!
Yao Yao! Hurry! Yao Yao!
- Hurry! - Yao Yao, what's wrong?
Who's this?
Why are you here?
- You scared me to death! - You know her?
Chang Gong, you should've told me. Then I wouldn't have come back.
Don't you have work? You're not supposed to be here.
I changed my mind at the last minute.
Sorry, sorry! Go back to sleep.
I don't need to sleep anymore! This is your room. I'm sorry.
It's okay. Go to sleep.
- I don't need to. - Miss, go back to sleep!
Yao Yao can sleep in our room.
Don't worry. Go back to sleep. Let's go.
Don't worry, the bedsheets are freshly laundered!
They're very clean!
Don't lock the door.
- Not closing the door? - No.
Miss, go to sleep!
I'm sorry.
They really were just washed. It smells of detergent.
Good night.
Did you sleep well?
What time is it?
5:30 a.m.
It takes half an hour to get to my dorm.
We'll get there right at 6 a.m. when the doors to the dorm open.
Let's go.
This way.
We're here, we're here!
Still 10 minutes left.
Aren't you sleepy? You didn't get to sleep last night.
Watch me.
What are you doing?
Don't ask.
Wake up, wake up.
Aren't you cold? Come in.
You're so nice, Ma'am!
- Bye! - Bye!
Bye!
You're so naughty.
The koala says it is happy.
Thank you.
No need to thank me as long as you're happy.
It was your treat this time. It'll be my treat next time.
Okay.
Thank you for making time to go out with me today.
Time is more valuable than money.
Okay. I'm going upstairs to shower.
- Bye. - Bye.
Wake up, wake up!
Why are you all up so early?
Why do you think?
Li Mu Zi, you're back so late. What mischief were you up to last night?
We agreed to spend doomsday together and then you snuck off on your own.
You're a terrible friend!
Uh... you...
Did you guys have breakfast yet?
What do you call that?
- Changing the topic. - Correct.
Calling card...
Can someone lend me a calling card?
I have one.
I can always count on Xiao Qiu. I'll get you a new one later.
This one is new. Here you go.
Thank you!
Phone! Phone!
- Uncle Liu, good morning. - Hello.
Morning, Uncle Zhang!
- Ma'am, I have to use the phone. - Go ahead.
Hello?
Which phone are you using?
This is the phone in my dorm room. It was installed two days ago.
What's that for?
I have the number memorized.
What are your plans today?
I don't know.
It's the first day of the year. I'll give you a discount on calling fees.
Thanks, Ma'am.
Who are you talking to?
The lady working the kiosk.
She says she's giving me a discount on calling fees because it's New Year's.
Then let's talk longer since it's cheap.
Sure, no problem.
You just got back and you're on the phone again?
Go away!
- Who is it this time? - My dad.
It feels like so many people are watching when I'm on the phone with you.
You know what? That does seem true.
I'm getting embarrassed.
It's okay. I'm the one they see. It's not embarrassing for you.
True. Let's talk longer.
We'll talk in soft voices.
[Wuhan Station]
Uncle and Auntie, Happy New Year!
I'm Wei Xiao Shan. I'm sorry to drop by so suddenly.
I came to--
Why are you here?
You just returned. I wanted to see you.
I could also visit Uncle and Auntie.
Give that to me.
Mom, the water is boiling.
- It's heavy. I got it. - Give it to me.
No, I got it.
Xin Xin! Xin Xin, he...
Should I change into slippers?
No need. Go on in.
I'm heading in.
Honey, I missed you so much. Give me a hug.
Stop it.
I came all this way to see you. Aren't you happy? Give me a smile.
You don't even give me a heads-up first. You just do whatever you want.
I wanted to surprise you.
I said I'm only back for 10 days. I don't have time to spend with you.
I know. That's why I came to you.
Didn't we say we would meet in Jinghu the next time I'm back?
Why didn't you listen?
As a man, I can't always do as my girlfriend says. That's weak.
Xin Xin, come to the living room. I have a few questions for you.
Okay.
Mom and Dad don't know I'm dating. Don't let that slip out.
So what am I? A suitor?
An old classmate visiting me on his way through Wuhan.
I--
This place is pretty nice. My dad takes his guests here.
I'll give you a wake-up call tomorrow.
Don't be so nervous about your first time on a plane.
Are you mad?
How can I not be?
Instead of spending New Year's with my mom at home
I spent all day on a train to see you.
I get to your house and didn't even get a sip of water.
I took you out to eat. Why do you care about the water at my house?
How is it the same?
The water at my future wife's house--
You nearly gave my parents a heart attack.
I haven't even gotten on your case for that.
And you're the one throwing a tantrum?
No! Honey, are you that embarrassed of me?
No. I just left for abroad.
If I suddenly spring a boyfriend on them, they’ll be worried out of their minds.
All right. That reason is barely acceptable.
Are you not adjusted to the environment? Why do you have so many split ends?
Right! My hair was fine before.
I started having split ends not long after going overseas.
When I get home, I'll buy some sesame and walnuts
and mail them to you to nourish your hair.
Don't bother. Postage is too expensive.
I'm yours.
My money is also yours.
I have a side job now. I can afford the postage.
When did you become mine? How come I didn't know?
I'm yours now.
Hello?
Yes, Mom?
Okay, I'm coming down right away.
It's my classmate's first time taking a plane. I have to give him instructions.
I'm afraid he'll get lost tomorrow.
Okay, I'm coming now.
I have to go.
I wonder when we'll see each other next.
I'll visit you on my next school break.
Bye.
Wei Xiao Shan, I didn't see you on New Year's. Where were you?
I... I went to Wuhan.
You sure are fearless.
You went to see Mei Xin?
It's a new year. Don't be so depressed.
Show me what local specialties you brought back.
I'm making a trip home. Let me show off to my mom.
You know what? I really do have some.
Duck neck in hot and spicy flavoring. Here's some five spice flavoring.
I don't want to pick. Either is fine.
- Thanks. - Wait.
Can I wait until I print my pictures to give you back your camera?
No big deal. I have to go.
I'm heading home for a scolding.
I'm also going home to get a scolding.
Mom, look. This is Wuhan University.
I was going to take photos of cherry blossoms for you
but it's winter, so they're not in bloom.
Where did you go?
Wuhan University. I just told you. Did you forget?
You said you were going back to the dorm to study
and didn't want to slack off on New Year's.
Why did you run off to Wuhan?
You're asking the obvious.
Answer me seriously.
Um... I haven't seen Mei Xin in a long time.
She came back for some business.
I really missed her, so I went to Wuhan to see her.
Where did you get money for the train?
I bought a train ticket to go there.
On the trip back...
Mei Xin bought a ticket for me.
You spent a woman's money? Aren't you ashamed?
Mom!
She didn't tell me when she bought the ticket.
She had already bought it. I couldn't refuse it!
I was going to pay her back.
But then I saw the price of the plane ticket
and all the money I had on me
wasn't even enough to cover a third of the ticket's cost.
Mom, don't worry.
Once I make enough money, I'll definitely pay her back.
Mom?
Mom!
You work every day and you provide private tutoring.
The money you earned has all been wasted.
Mom, don't cry over this bit of money.
Has it occurred to you?
I work at the factory to earn money for your school tuition and living expenses.
But what about you?
You spend the money on plane tickets, train tickets, and international calls.
You can't even afford a proper meal.
Have you considered my feelings?
This is only Mei Xin's first year abroad.
What if she doesn't come back? What will you do?
Mom! There's no need to think so far ahead.
One who doesn't plan far ahead will soon find suffering nearby!
- I'm heading back to school. - I'm not finished yet.
Mom! We're doing fine!
Without Mei Xin, I won't want to live anymore.
Beautiful.
- Mom, I'm back. - Oh, you're home.
Look who came by. Say your greetings.
Auntie He.
Do you still remember me?
Yes.
You're my mom's college classmate.
You were the prettiest girl in your class.
Your son has always been a sweet talker.
I envy you so much. My daughter is a bit too reserved.
Mom, what does that mean?
Have you adjusted to college life?
He's doing all right. He just started, so he's not used to it yet.
Mainly, he doesn't like his major very much.
He could apply to change his major.
It's not that easy!
His dad and I are discussing having him take entrance exams again.
Auntie, retaking college entrance exams is so difficult.
An education abroad is no longer considered a luxury.
Many of my classmates have left for abroad.
Why don't you send him overseas too?
Yes, in the past, students waited for government sponsorship to study abroad.
Nobody had the financial ability at the time.
Now we do.
We have to keep up with the trends.
We work so hard to earn money just for our children.
I say you should stay ahead of the trend and send him overseas.
I do have that idea in mind.
However, it will depend on what he wants.
Han Dong, did you hear what she said?
Consider it carefully, okay?
Okay.
Mom.
- Han Dong, just now-- - I know, Mom.
You're rarely home. Go talk to your dad.
If there's nothing serious to talk about, he won't like to hear it.
I wasn't kidding.
Your dad and I have been planning for half a year now.
We will send you overseas.
I'm not going.
