"So mom was right on the mark. "
Qi Yue, look.
Ahsen sent this, right?
Of all the students your dad taught,
he's the most thoughtful; sending an Xmas card every year.
"Mrs. Xiao, Qi Yue,"
"I yearn for the times we spent together. "
"I really miss you. "
"Is everything going well? Because he was my mentor,"
"I always hoped to become a person like Teacher. "
"This year I take my first step by teaching at several colleges. "
"Best wishes, student Sisen. "
Every winter Ahsen sends a letter to make me warm inside.
Our daughter has also reached scarf-knitting age.
Who are you giving it to? Have I met him?
It's not.
It's not. Besides, it's not a scarf, it's gloves.
Can you do it?
Nothing is impossible if I put my mind to it.
Let me remind you,
all your homemade projects were store-bought.
You purposely tore them a bit to pass them as your own.
Mom!
Okay, I got it.
You inherited the clumsy fingers from me. I do nothing well.
Stop discouraging me.
"Stop discouraging me. "
Mom has never been a wise person,
so I don't have to pay attention to her.
I will definitely knit gloves of love!
But...
why is it so hard?
I thought you ditched me again.
Letting me wait here like a fool, I've waited for more than an hour.
I'm sorry.
I'll never do it again. Sorry.
"I'm dead. If the time she stays angry depends on how late I am,"
"then by now... "
You have toothpaste on your face.
Okay. Since you where in such a rush, I'll forgive you.
But did I let you call me Xiaoqing?
I can't?
It sounded pretty good.
Okay. I'll let you use Xiaoqing exclusively.
Ahmon, here's your gift.
You made handmade gloves?
What is this?
I'm sorry!
I will not be defeated!
"I need to calm down. It's too soon, but... "
"Women need romance. Do you get it?"
Forgot I had the popcorn. Want some?
It's okay.
"Damn popcorn. "
"You're my grandson, be a man. Take the initiative. "
Want to know the time? It's too dark, I can't see.
They're done! They're done!
They're finally done...
I didn't think I could really do it.
The power of love is magnificent! Hooray!
We just watched a comedy. Why are you crying?
When I saw the male lead finally kiss the female lead, I was moved.
"Is she hinting that I need to be like the male lead? I... "
Who texted you? Do you want to see?
They texted to say they reserved a room, and don't be late.
Then let's go.
Sorry I'm late.
For every minute you're late, give me one squat.
Right now? Here?
Get real. Come on, let's go in.
We're here.
You came. The others are already inside.
Hey, let's go. Or we won't be able to sing...
What "others?"
Everyone. Didn't you tell her? Today's our team's celebration.
Don't remember if I did or not. Let's go.
"Why are there others? I thought we were on a date alone. "
"So I was actually thinking too much. "
"When Ahmon spoke of a prior engagement, he meant this. "
"And... it's so far from the mark. "
Qing Zi, here's the remote control.
No. Today's your celebration.
Let the team sing to their hearts' content.
It's okay, go ahead.
Captain, wanna sing a duet with Qing Zi?
Shut up.
It would be nice to sing together.
Okay, let's sing together.
So did I take the initiative or did you?
Idiot.
Look no more, your song is here. Hurry.
Give it to me. Move.
I wanted to sing this song for Li Xiang.
Kuo Kai, I'll remember this.
Miss, please let me love you. - Mister, I'm feeling shy inside.
"I'm so envious. They're so good together. "
"Then look at us... "
"he doesn't look at me at all. "
Aren't you supposed to be home with the Queen mother?
I remember every Christmas you have a family gathering.
I told my dad we're having a party. He'll take care of it.
Mom, young people have their own world.
Especially on Christmas. They have a lot of activities.
It's because he has a father like you
that Ahmon doesn't know how to behave.
Mom, I'm famous for education using love.
Look how you dress.
Hey, when did you start behaving so improperly?
Am I improper?
Mom, I would have to disagree.
I think Yoo Hui dressing up as Santa
is especially appealing and especially appropriate.
Am I really that special in your heart?
Especially fooling around.
Mood is the most important. Especially tonight.
We should love and give blessing to each other.
Isn't that why you wanted us to gather today?
Your point is contradictory. Where's Ahmon, then?
Mom, letting Ahmon choose what he wants is a way of loving him.
I never agreed with your argument.
I keep reminding you Ahmon is...
Family successor.
You haven't even gotten Alzheimer's. Of course I remember.
You two better remember this.
We'll remember.
Where's Yue?
I'm having the same complex feelings as you.
Our Qi Yue seems to have a date on this romantic Christmas Eve.
The place settings are wrong. You have 6 servings here.
Us plus Ahmon and Qi Yue are only five. You have one extra.
Butler Chen, please take away the extra plates. Let's start.
Sit.
Why isn't Limu here?
You forgot? Limu's a devout Christian.
Tonight he's at church praying.
Yeah, he can help you, the devil, absolve some sins.
Does he go for the candy?
I remember when I was little,
I loved going for the candy and gifts.
"When should I give my gift to him?"
Since we're on the subject,
I'm so glad we're not doing that lame gift-exchange game.
It's always either soap or boring lamp stands.
Nos. 1 and 2 on the "worst gift list. "
Let me add a No. 3... some girls love to knit scarves or gloves.
They're so ugly, but still I'm forced to wear them.
Cramps my style, big time.
"I can't believe I'm on the worst gift list. "
It definitely happens. In "Harry Potter,"
Ron's mother knitted sweaters as Christmas gifts.
Even Ron couldn't stand it.
In this "My Sassy Girl" generation,
how are there naive girls knitting gifts?
Isn't that right, Qi Yue?
I wouldn't know.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Um, it's too noisy here. I need to call my mom.
Why am I so stupid?
"I almost became this Christmas's biggest basketball team joke. "
Why are you staring into space?
No reason.
Come in and sing.
I'll be right there.
So... what's that you're holding?
It's nothing.
It's something. You're holding a paper bag.
I told you it's nothing. Go back to where Yang Ping is.
What? Are you pouting?
I am not!
You are.
"So what if I'm pouting?"
"You'd never understand the expectation I had. "
"But now I feel like a zit that needs squeezing. "
"Totally worthless. "
Santa Claus, don't you have a great gift for mom?
Take it out quickly.
Mom's gift? I...
forgot. - You're lying.
I don't believe you. Take it out.
It's okay; I don't need anything.
Don't you have a lot gifts in the bag?
This... Mom.
It's like this, at school
there are a few students who are especially needy.
I thought tonight being Christmas Eve, as president,
I would take a little gift to cheer them up.
So next year, they will work hard, study harder It's that okay?
It's very good.
No wonder you dressed like this today.
Yoo Hui, you're a really good man.
Really?
Enough. Stop goofing around.
If you need to go, then go.
Okay.
Mom, I thank you.
Without you, there would not be Yoo Hui,
and it wouldn’t be like now.
Right.
Mom, I promise you
your Christmas gift will arrive before the clock strikes twelve.
Enough. Go.
Merry Christmas.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh, O!
What's wrong? Fight with Ahmon?
It wasn't really a fight.
It's more like I'm the only one angry.
It's not necessary.
Ever since the basketball incident, I've learned one thing.
What?
Guys are physically developed, but simple-minded creatures.
You may have gone through 100 things in your mind,
and he's not even on the first.
Getting mad is useless.
What should I do?
Qing Zi, we're discussing where to go next.
This is the answer.
"Whether they're in a crowd or not,"
"Qing Zi and Yuan Yi only want to be with each other. "
"No question about it... "
"like Qing Zi said, theirs is a clear answer. "
"But what about me?"
"Maybe I should tell them I'll be heading back. "
Want to play hide-and-seek?
The perimeter is the park outside.
If we play a game, we don't have to spend any money
or squeeze into any crowded places.
Since every place is jam-packed and super-expensive.
It's unorthodox, but... a cute kind of unorthodox.
Though childish, let's give it a
try, adding some Christmas spice.
Spicier the better. Quick, how?
At the end of an hour, the last person who hasn't been found,
will be tonight's winner.
The winner gets to ask the person he likes for a victory kiss.
Same thing apply to the girls?
Equality between the sexes is a must.
"Seeing Li Xiang's determined face,"
"I've decided... I'll stay and fight!"
Everyone, the first annual men's basketball team
hide-and-seek-kissing competition
officially begins.
Scissors, rock, paper...
I'm it? Doomed to have no chance.
Ahyi, this is probably your good guy destiny.
Yuan Yi, count to 100.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
"Seeing Li Xiang's eagerness,"
"she probably wants to take advantage of Ahmon. "
"I won't give her the chance. "
8, 9, 10...
Let's go. - 11, 12...
"The winter wind blows so hard, making the skin sting. "
"Why did Ahmon suddenly suggest hide-and-seek?"
97, 98, 99, 100...
Qing Zi's kiss...
I must protect her kiss tonight.
Hello?
Wishing me Merry Christmas?
I have known you for so long.
I never knew you to be this courteous.
I want to wish you a...
Merry Christmas.
"What is this guy planning?"
Out!
Why did I get caught so fast?
You cheated! - I didn't.
We're still playing hide-and-seek.
I don't care if I cheated. I don't care about their rules.
Besides,
this... how can it be the trophy for a game?
My feelings for Xiaoqing are entirely serious.
I don't want to play any games.
Um, I say, this business
should wait ‘til after the game; when you're alone.
Wouldn't that be better?
I caught you.
That's low.
Ahmon, what're you doing?
Be quiet... or they'll find us.
I wonder how long ‘til the end of the hour?
Christmas Eve 2004...
this one hour to Ahmon and Yue,
and the rest of the world's hour,
cannot be compared.
Because...
this hour belongs only to us.
Didn't you want to be alone with me?
What? Are you pouting?
I wanted to be alone with you.
"He wanted me to say that. "
"Because his smiling face... is all for... "
"me to do this first. "
"Devil's wicked plan. I can't defeat him. "
I caught you.
Can you see, do you recognize...
what this animal is?
It's an elephant. So what?
You do recognize it? Weird.
You shouldn't have recognized it.
What does he mean? - He means bad timing.
("Not recognizing elephant" and "not recognizing the situation" sound alike.)
It's the last minute. Everybody's been found.
Yuan Yi, there's one left.
"Due to Yuan Yi's persistence,"
"one by one, he found the people in hiding. "
"But another flaming love is holding onto fate"
"to the last minute. "
10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
Yang Ping, you win!
Get it out! I win! Get it out! Hurry!
It's a snake.
The winner is Yang Ping.
Yang Ping, you may choose a person to give you a kiss,
and to enjoy the victory kiss.
Kiss, kiss, kiss...
I like...
Li... - You dare?!
Li Xiang.
I don't want to! Definitely no!
Li Xiang, you suck.
Yeah. Dare to play, then dare to lose.
Be willing to concede.
And I held on and didn't get caught.
Kiss, kiss...!
Kissing... the cheek will be fine, too.
"The childish game started unexpectedly and ended sweetly. "
I almost forgot.
Qi Yue, a KTV employee sent this over.
He said it must be something important.
"What?! I threw that away. "
Is it yours? I saw you carrying it.
It's not mine. No, it's definitely not mine!
#3 on the list! - Innocent girl's hand-knit...
wool gloves. - That's not...
I'm sorry. These... are mine.
"On this Christmas night,"
"maybe I have also gotten a clear answer. "
"A little joy has arrived next to me. "
We finished delivering all the gifts. I'm so happy.
No, you still skipped mom's gift.
Do you have time to get it now?
That gift... I think has already arrived.
Do you remember at dinner mom prepared 6 servings instead of 5?
So?
So...
Grandma.
Ahrang.
Grandma.
I told dad I missed you, so he said I should visit you tonight.
It's great. I missed you, too. How are you?
I'm fine. Grandma, you don't look a day older!
Really? - You're so young!
You're sweet-talking me.
How are you doing? Are you well?
Yes, I'm good. Everything's good.
Why did you deny they're yours?
Because they're old-fashioned and lame.
Why do you care what others say?
How you feel is most important, isn't it?
I do feel happy.
When I knitted these gloves for you,
I did feel happy.
Do you know... I was late, because I was knitting them?
It took a lot of time and effort to make them look like this.
Look, no holes, and they aren't missing stitches. They're perfect!
Yeah... no holes. They're perfect and not missing stitches.
But why are they... different sizes?
No wonder they're on the worst gift list.
If you don't want them, that's fine.
I have a solution.
We'll share the embarrassment.
Then what about this hand?
Can you feel my body heat passing to you through my hand?
It's warm.
I suddenly have an idea.
What idea?
I'm not telling you.
Let's have some fruit.
Okay.
Great.
What were you watching on TV?
I was just channel surfing.
The movie channel was showing "Home Alone,"
and the news was boring, too.
Every channel's showing Christmas eve celebration events.
I'll turn off the TV. Let's listen to music instead.
- Silent night, holy night...
It's Limu.
Why have I just now realized I've never heard his voice?
I didn't know his voice was so unique.
Now you know why he doesn't like to speak.
Because...
I'll beat you up! I'll beat you up!
Ah, so Limu is here tonight singing carols.
We're so lucky to have people singing for us...
- Tonight, everywhere has Christmas eve celebration events.
- The place I'm at also has a choir singing carols.
- Christmas eve is an important holiday for Taiwan lovers.
- Restaurants are also offering...
Grandma, come have some tea.
Why do you keep smiling?
Because I was remembering how we met.
You were an idiot.
Yuan Yi, I like you. Please go out with me.
But I finally delivered it.
The right love letter to the right guy.
When did you ever write me a love letter?
I did! I knitted these as a love letter.
Everything I wanted to say, I knitted in here.
Really? If these are a love letter,
then I'll reply back to you.
You're annoying.
I only wanted to express my feelings. Why tease me?
Idiot.
I'm almost there. Old man, what tricks are you playing?
I got it.
Your glasses are broken. Be careful
Since you can't see, I'll take you to the eyeglass store.
Can you see the 5 on the top? - I can.
Boss, please give her another pair of glasses.
Do you have money?
Please give her the fortified, not easily broken ones.
Hold on.
You're welcome.
I know you want to say thank you.
I did want to say thank you, and...
this. - What is it?
It's tasty. Gift to you.
Look over here.
Good. Smile.
Be happy.
Good.
Another one.
Ahmon! Ahmon, hey, come on.
Photographer, this is my son. Handsome, huh?
He makes spectacled people's glasses explode.
Others, their eyes shoot flames... - Shut up!
It's this shy expression that's especially appealing.
Let's take a picture. - I'm leaving...
Why are you dressed like that?
Because mom and uncle wanted me to take a picture with them.
And you too, Ahmon.
I want us to have a family portrait.
I don't... - You won't let me down, right?
If I don't do it, I'd be too uncooperative.
Right. My son is obedient, kind, considerate. He's also tall...
If you continue, I'll disappear!
Turn to the right.
Okay, lower the right shoulder.
Here.
I think if you take off the glasses, you'll look cuter.
Okay, good. Look here.
Wow, your whole family is good-looking.
Although they're siblings they look good together.
Qi Yue looks more feminine now.
Maybe Yue's got a boyfriend. - I do not.
Didn't you have a date on Christmas eve?
That was the basketball banquet.
We went together... since Yue is team manager.
Oh, so that was it. But that can't be...
I remember the night before, I saw you knitting a glove.
I thought it was for a guy you liked.
If there was such a guy, when he received the gift,
he must've been very happy.
I knitted it for myself.
See!
Why is there only one?
Then the other one, I'll pair it up for you. I promise.
So, you got it wrong from the start.
When you get a boyfriend, you must introduce him to us, Qi Yue.
"If I could, then it wouldn't be so hard on me, mom. "
Even though we haven't done the official wedding ceremony,
I'm thinking, after the new year,
I want Yue-Yue and Wei-Wei to move in with us.
Then, we'll put this family portrait in the house.
Is that okay?
"Are we really going to live under the same roof?"
"So that means we'll finally be living together. "
"It's great, isn't it?"
Smile a little.
Be happy.
Give me a happy family expression.
Look over here.
