Where'd she pop up from?
She's Ahmon's queen mother's arranged date.
But she and Ahmon don't seem to connect.
Really?
The signal I'm getting from my genius antenna are two words:
It's uncertain.
You're too sensitive. - Wrong.
It's guys who are too "not sensitive. "
That candy-sweet girl and a hard-nosed guy like Ahmon.
It's soft against hard. Don't you get it?
It's how I lost to Qi Yue.
That Meidi... she has more firepower than Qi Yue.
What is it?
You still care about Qi Yue and Ahmon's relationship?
I'd thought you'd gotten over it.
"It feels like the road ahead is filled with heavy burdens. "
The team is already in the woods preparing for training.
I'm about to join them.
Let me drop off my things, then we'll go together.
Ahmon, let me take your things for you.
Qi Yue, take this inside.
Oh, okay.
Ahmon.
Last time... thank you for telling me the truth.
You're... not angry?
It was my fault for making an unreasonable request.
Afterwards, I thought it through. - Thought what through?
If you clearly don't like someone,
but have to pretend to like that person, it's impossible.
Similarly, if you really love someone,
but need to pretend you don't, that's also impossible.
So rejecting me was the right thing to do.
Thank you for not letting me have my way.
Why are you here, then?
Do you truly want to be an assistant manager?
Are you capable?
If not, isn't this another attempt at getting your way?
Ahmon is being the bad guy again.
Meidi, don't worry.
Let's cook for everybody, then Ahmon won't have anything to say.
Let's go.
Gather around.
Everybody, before we got here,
the captain and I had a discussion
about the basis of this training.
We need to focus on each player's physical strength,
endurance, and flexibility, for target training.
Okay, now we'll assign teams for one-on-one offense and defense.
Offense's goal is to pass the opponent.
Defense's is to get the ball.
Because we're surrounded by trees and on rough terrain,
the level of difficulty will be significantly higher.
Coach,
since you designed this exercise, if I challenge you,
would you have the ability to take the ball from me?
The question is not about my ability... but my intention.
Do you have it?
Do you care?
You see that?
They're answering every question with another question.
You're right. It's strange.
Meidi, you said you have someone you like?
When I first met him, my heart did a back-flip.
I think it was love.
Does he know how you feel? Or are you already dating?
No. I don't even know where he is.
And, his appearance, I'm not too sure of, either.
What?
Because I have a heavy eyeglass prescription.
Then you...?
I'm wearing contact lenses right now.
That day, my glasses broke in the middle of dangerous traffic.
He was like a knight in shinning armor,
rescuing me from danger.
So... he's actually a stranger?
I believe we'll meet again.
And when we meet,
I'll instantly know that he's my knight in shinning armor.
"She... is like the old me. "
"Creating an idealized person. A fantasy. "
"Influenced by a brief good impression,"
"love only exists in her imagination. "
So the liking Meidi was referring to
has always been a fantasy?
This kind of unrealistic feeling, how long can it last?
Could it, at any moment, transfer to someone else?
Maybe to Ahmon?
You heard what we were talking about?
Don't tease me, or I'll get embarrassed.
Qi Yue,
there's one kind of rival that's hardest to beat,
and that is without you realizing
she's already between you two.
And when you look at her innocent expression,
you can't condemn her.
"Li Xiang is telling me... my situation is precarious. "
What does that mean?
Big sister, do you also have someone you like?
Li Xiang, why are you are back so soon?
Aren't they training?
Um... they're doing the retreat's most important endurance exercise.
All the members have to hike up Lijin Mountain.
I don't have the stamina to follow, so I came back.
Having all the members climb Lijin Mountain
is our club tradition.
It represents our players' unrelenting spirit.
Old members need to challenge their own records.
New members can create their own.
It's a ritual for the members, so Coach Ahsen won't be needed.
You mean the coach won't participate?
Wouldn't that be letting him off easy?
Not really. It's always been like this.
We can make an exception.
I believe this exercise is very meaningful, too.
Of course... it'll make this trip worthwhile.
Then... okay. Please look after the coach.
Not necessary. Just look after yourselves.
Ahyi, what was your score last year?
1 hour, 37 minutes, and 28 seconds.
Okay, let's go.
"To keep first place, I need go all-out. "
"Having Ahmon on my tail was expected,"
"but why's Ahsen so energetic?"
Ahyi, watch out.
You alright? - I'm fine. I can do it.
Jiang Meng, what're you doing?
Don't you know how dangerous that was?
Was he hurt? He was not.
If I said it was an accident, would you believe me?
So this is your sportsmanship?
Do anything just to win.
Whatever you say.
I believe Ahmon.
Teacher, I believe Ahmon.
He's not someone who only cares about winning, and nothing else.
If in the process to win,
there are unavoidable injuries or dangers,
I believe he'd try his best to minimize them.
I don't know why you're so sure, but I think...
you were once someone he tried to minimize danger for,
but still got hurt.
What are you doing?!
I told you, no matter what, I get what I want.
Why are you doing this? - Because!
I want you.
Aren't you two siblings?
Ahmon... you're very different today.
Am I? Different how?
Not cool.
Not charming.
Ill-mannered.
Foolish?
Correct. And very foolish.
Why in front of Teacher Ahsen, do you seem so insecure?
I'm not used to seeing an unconfident Ahmon.
I doubt you're used to it, either.
Bring me some coals, please.
Okay.
Was Yuan Yi looking for someone to help out
or screw up?
Li Xiang, don't say that.
You have a one-sided wish for a person you met once.
A one-sided wish for Qi Yue and Ahmon to be your friends.
Now you have a one-sided wish to join our club.
Why do we have to accept your one-sided wishes?
Meidi.
Li Xiang...
thank you.
You're also a good person who doesn't tell lies.
I hate chocolate.
Then... I'll go wash the fruit.
Li Xiang... - I just don't like her.
Have some awareness.
Being kind to an enemy is to be cruel to yourself.
Haven't you ever heard that?
I've never thought of Meidi as an enemy.
I'm not trying to scare you, but my instincts tell me
don't let Meidi get too close to Ahmon.
You want to get yourself hurt,
then be ready for the consequences.
"No. I'm still worried. I need to go check on Meidi. "
So... there are people who don't like chocolate,
and don't like Meidi.
The feeling of being disliked is terrible.
After this retreat is over, maybe I should give up.
Even though I really want to be their friend,
it can't just be one-sided.
Meidi.
Are you okay?
My contacts fell in the water.
It was you! I finally found you!
You're the one I was looking for.
Ahmon, I'm so happy.
Qi Yue,
there's one kind of rival that's hardest to beat,
and that is without you realizing,
she's already between you two.
And when you look at her innocent expression,
you can't condemn her. I'm not trying to scare you,
but my instincts tell me don't let Meidi get too close to Ahmon.
Can you let go of me now?
Last time, in the traffic, when my glasses broke,
you rescued me.
I wanted to see you again.
I didn't know you were dad's arranged date for me.
We're really connected. We were destined to meet.
I thought I made it very clear.
It doesn't matter if you're the girl I scooped out of the road,
or the girl the senile elders wanted me to meet.
I'm absolutely not interested in you.
I know I shouldn't act one-sided,
but because of you,
my heart thumps hard for the first time.
So if I work a little harder, you'll get to know me,
and then like me.
Not possible.
It's okay.
I don't want to give up.
Let me help you.
Qi Yue.
Ahsen.
I didn't catch what you said.
I said... I'll help you.
Kuo Kai is the weakest.
He couldn't handle a little training.
Then I'll treat everybody to chocolate.
Xiao Meidi treating us to chocolate. So sweet.
I hate the sight of her.
Why do guys all prefer idiotic sweeties with no personality?
Not all guys are like that.
You girls are the same, only liking bad boys.
Are you complaining the BBQ has no flavor?
You want vinegar, then eat it! ("Eat vinegar" = be jealous)
I can give you half. - Yu Yang Ping,
what's wrong with you today?
Why've you been picking on me?
Say something.
I just think...
if I had more individuality... and an attitude,
then some things...
might be different.
"The idiot. "
"So he wanted to copy Ahmon. "
Hey, there's a meteor. Make a wish.
"Can't even copy properly. "
Childish.
You're right.
A cool guy would never make a wish on a star.
What did you wish for?
It's... - Forget it.
I don't want to know.
Ahmon! There was a meteor, did you make a wish?
Boring.
Meidi's chocolate, it's pretty good.
What's with Qi Yue?
Qi Yue, what's wrong?
You know,
a few days ago, when I first saw you at the school,
I thought you hadn't changed at all.
Later I discovered, you've actually changed a lot.
Really? - Because...
on your face now you often have a very perplexed expression.
You never had it before.
Maybe it's because your life or your love life
has experienced great changes.
To me, you haven't changed at all.
You're still considerate and mature.
Not like...
Do you still remember?
Who are you looking for?
I'm looking for my student, Qi Yue.
Why are you looking for her?
Because she told me she had a math test today,
so I thought she might need...
five plastic bags. - Wrong! Six!
Of course I remember.
Dad asked you to be my math tutor.
Whenever I had a major math test or whenever I felt bad,
you would let me...
1, 2, 3
It didn't pop.
You finally smiled.
I remember in the past you were like a magician.
Every time I had a problem, and if I was with you,
you'd just need a plastic bag to make it disappear.
If one isn't enough, want another one?
Your smile
is more important than anything.
Excluding Ahmon, who's going back on his bike and isn't here,
I want to tell everybody, including Teacher Ahsen,
this retreat was very successful. Thanks, everybody.
I believe we'll be more united from now on.
Am I right? - Right...
Okay. Rest well.
"Harboring mixed feelings, we're on our way back home. "
But we don't know if, when the bus pulls into the stop,"
"our hearts pull into the stop with it. "
1, 2, 3
"He's someone I liked before. "
"But I like you now. Really!"
"The meteor wish really works. "
We have the same home.
Why aren't we going home together?
Let's go.
That's the way!
You got it for me?
I just bought it.
This color, I don't like...
Annoying. There's a design on it.
Why is it a moon?
Get on, hurry up. - Okay.
"The strenuous retreat is finally over. "
"But the insecure hearts are still on rough terrain. "
"Hesitating, but still moving forward. "
Your coffee.
No milk and one spoon of sugar. Right?
Thank you.
How is it?
Have you met your mentor's daughter?
Did you have...
the joy of long awaited reunion?
What do you want to know?
What do I want to know?
I want to know if it was how I imagined it or how you did.
How did you imagine it?
Didn't you say it's her 20th birthday in a couple days?
For you to come back to her now, others may think is coincidental,
but I know it's not.
You think too much.
You don't have to deny it.
All these years, you've been waiting for her to grow up.
I simply wanted to see how my mentor's daughter
turned out when she grew up.
Really? I don't think so.
Yali, these questions don't sound like you.
Alright...
then lend me your wallet.
Why do you want my wallet?
If it's like what you said,
then replace this picture with mine.
A picture doesn't mean anything.
I think...
this picture represents waiting.
After I met you,
I knew there was girl in your heart called Qi Yue.
You were waiting for her to grow up,
so... I was very patient.
It's not what you think.
You don't have to convince me,
unless you can convince yourself.
Coffee must be drunk at the right temperature
for it to taste right.
Same with people.
Sometimes feelings are like people's temperatures.
Ahsen, little girls change and grow up.
I'm the one who's with you and understands you the most.
Ahsen?!
You know her?
Go say hello.
She was my mentor's wife. Qi Yue's mother.
What's wrong, big sister?
Nothing.
Come, come over here.
I'm not a cat!
Really? So boring.
About Meidi...
what're you going to do?
About what? I don't know what you're asking.
I saw her profess her love to you.
So?
What so? That's my question.
You worried? - No.
Don't worry. Girls ask me out all the time. You'll get used to it.
You're so full of it!
I am not worried.
If you feel bad, then go pop a few bags.
Isn't that the calming technique your middle-aged man taught you?
You're the one who's worried, and you try to say it's me.
Squirt. - You're the squirt.
Ahsen's being mature, and you call him "middle-aged. "
How can you do that?
So I'm childish. So what? I'm childish. So what?
I'm back!
You guys...
To have a boy at home just feels so different.
Siblings joking around seems so fun.
Aunt, you're really first-class.
Are you hungry? I'll go prepare.
Qi Yue!
Why didn't you tell me?
About Ahsen. He's teaching at your school.
When I bumped into him on the street, I was so surprised.
And he participates in your club activity, too?
"Oh, mom... "
"please don't mention Ahsen's name in front of Ahmon, okay?"
For your birthday, I invited him over.
Mom! Why'd you decide that on your own?!
I thought you'd be happy about it.
Didn't you say when you grew up, you wanted to be Ahsen's bride?
Impossible. - What's impossible? I have proof.
Mom! - What?!
Auntie, what are we eating tonight?
Tonight is Spicy Hot Pot. I bought the broth.
Good.
"That is one creepy smile. "
Such a delicious Spicy Hot Pot, and Yoo Hui has to work.
Too bad.
Auntie,
you were saying big sister was having a teacher-student affair?
Mom, why's it so hot? Didn't you say only a little spicy?
Isn't it tasty? - Are you okay?
You're sweating.
You're right, it was a teacher-student affair.
Our Qi Yue proclaimed she'd only marry Ahsen. Even swore to it.
I didn't! Don't lie!
You've forgotten. I'll prove it to you.
Mom, what are you going to do?
This is so great.
Ahmon, look. This is her middle school diary.
Everything inside is about sweet memories of Ahsen.
Qi Yue was so cute back then.
She was cute.
Why didn't I meet her back then?
Give it...! - It's the whole book.
Oh, yeah. Qi Yue, I promised Ahsen
that tomorrow you'll show him around.
Mom! Why'd you make the decision on your own, again?
Because he said he wants to visit daddy's old home.
I think it's great.
When you give him the key, you can show him around, too.
That place is filled with your childhood memories.
So spicy... I could breathe fire.
One more thing...
Qi Yue, don't be upset,
I think Ahsen already has a girlfriend.
She's very pretty, and seems to be the owner of a cafe.
Mom, you should've said so earlier.
How many times have I told you, always get to the point?
Breathing better now?
Ahmon.
Why are you sitting here?
I thought you're bound to come out for midnight snack or something.
Aren't you cold?
That diary...
Want to reminisce? It's in my room.
You can go get it.
That was before I met you.
There was fluttering heart,
there was romantic fantasy,
there was shyness,
and anticipation for the future.
Those feelings were all real.
But after I met you...
What?
I became sure that
I don't regret having had a crush on Ahsen,
and then a crush on Yuan Yi.
You don't regret it?
Because the warmth here
is the most real.
When I see your angry face,
I feel anxious.
I'm not angry.
Or when you put on pretense,
it makes me laugh.
Because I can compare,
that's how I know
which person I will always like.
You're not angry? Can I have my diary back?
Never.
Give it back! It's personal! Don't you have any ethics!
I haven't read it yet, how can I give it back?
Ahmon!
After I read it, I'll decide whether to shred or burn it.
"Today, Ahsen and I had my first dance ever. "
"I think the world is so beautiful. "
"Today I read a romance novel. "
"The main character is just like Ahsen. "
"Good at study, good at sports and good mannered. "
"If I could become the girl in the story,"
"then my life would transform from black and white to color. "
"I did terrible on the quiz, but because of it,"
"I could ask Ahsen to comfort me. "
"When he hit my head with the plastic bag,"
"it didn't hurt at all. "
"Instead, I felt so happy. "
"God, please let all the girls around Ahsen be butt-ugly. "
"He'll puke just looking at them. "
"And... let me grow up soon!"
"My goal in life... "
"I must be Ahsen's bride!"
Don't try being cute.
Idiot.
Take the subway alone. Have fun on your date with Ahsen.
It's not a date, I'm just giving him the key.
Ahmon, big sister.
Meidi, where are you going?
Well... I want to look around Taipei.
Look around Taipei?
I studied in Japan, because my parents arranged it.
I came back from Japan,
also because of their decision on my arranged dating.
I've found Taipei has changed a lot.
It's different from how I remember.
So I want to make sure that I want to live here.
That means you've decided to learn to make your own decisions?
Yes. If I could get the love I wanted,
it'd be perfect. But if not, I will still need to live on...
in this city or in another.
I'll go with you.
Where do you want to go?
"You accompany Ahsen to find your memories. "
"I'll accompany Meidi to find hers. "
"Then... we can both head to the next station. "
