Save me! Let me out!
Save me!... I'm being locked up!
What are you doing?
Spastic.
Don't you feel, it's like we're being locked up?
How come you've never asked me,
...why I never go into the waters and swim...
and don't go in the hot springs?
If you wanna tell me, you'll tell me out of your own will.
Last time, didn't we go snorkling?
That's different.
I feel that,
...everybody has their weakest points.
Just like me, I'm afraid of heights and blood, right?
You also like to act cool.
Right...
Being cool, is all an act.
After you've discovered my weak points,
...I can't act cool in front of you anymore.
Yeah...
Can't act cool anymore.
Not having to conceal your own feelings,
...is really comfortable.
I think...
I want to tell you a secret.
The secret is...
Is...
I want to become a fish.
Fish?
Yes.
How good would it be to be a fish?
Swimming to and fro everyday.
- So much freedom. - That's right.
You can move to the beach and live there too.
You don't believe me?
It's not the case.
You'll tell me when you're ready.
Actually, I've thought about living by the beach.
We can open up a cafe by the beach.
You shall be the boss.
I'll be the waiter.
I've even thought of the name for the cafe.
It's, "Feng's Silhouette".
Why name it "Feng's Silhouette"?
Because the boss always ignores people.
So, the customers only ever see her silhouette.
Hey...How am I like that?
You are.
You just don't know it.
It's you who doesn't know.
How is it that I don't know?
You don't know...
Soon, you're gonna get...
Turn around!
Bite you!
I'll tickle you.
Mu Tou.
I just happened to walk pass.
I know.
Take a walk with me, ok?
Come on.
Why'd you buy this for?
When I was little,
whenever something unhappy came up,
Xiao Bai would bring me to buy dried mangoes.
It's so sour.
After you have some, you'll feel much happier.
Really?
Have a try, hurry.
So sour.
How is it?
It's so sour.
I feel...
...a lot better.
Have more. Quick.
Here, here.
Why'd you bring me here?
I'm used to it.
I always come here.
You still can't remember where this is?
Here?
Yes.
Still can't remember?
This is the first place you brought me to.
At that time, I thought, this person is such a pervert.
Why would he bring me to the hot springs on the first date?
Why are you so shameless & shallow?
I just thought the food here was great.
Is it?
Yeah? Then how come you keep looking elsewhere?
Nervous, huh?
-Full of nonsense, low-lifed, shameless. -Please!
Look at how beautiful the scenery is.
The food is great as well.
Don't you agree?
I don't. Liar.
What is it?
Angry?
I'm just kidding around and you're angry.
Why do you love getting angry so much?
Look at that lonely guy. Who is it?
Are you talking about that one?
Little buddy.
Look.
They're all paired up.
But you and I are all alone.
Little buddy.
Where do you want to go?
I'm sorry.
You are going to spend your birthday alone?
I see.
But...
To spend your birthday all by yourself...
Won't it feel meaningless?
So, spending your birthday alone gives more freedom.
But, will you be happy like that?
So...
..seeing the person you love happy.
you'll be very happy too.
Ok, I won't disturb you celebrating your birthday.
You may leave first.
I really hope he'll soon find a great girlfriend.
Have you ever considered that question?
What question?
Have you?
You're thinking too much.
How's that possible?
I'm just joking.
It's not funny.
Can you promise me one thing?
What is it?
Can you promise me?
Say you can first.
-Oh, ok. -Pinky promise.
That is...
Even if you have another girlfriend in the future,
you can't take her here.
This place is a secret between us.
Ok?
Pinky promise.
You better remember.
Mom, I'm back.
You're home.
-Aunty. -Xiao Feng.
Did you sit in front of the computer all day again?
Yes. I have a script to rush through.
Even if you have to rush through it, you still have to think of your health.
If you have a relapse, wouldn't the burden for uncle and me be heavier?
How could you say that?
You've gone overboard.
My son doesn't want me to leave the house.
So, I behave and stay at home.
At home, it's impossible not to do anything.
So, I use my laptop.
In the end...
In the end, my son says such harsh words to me.
My head really hurts.
Aunty, are you ok?
Hey, I didn't say much.
Don't make up stuff.
You'll be the judge.
What?
Who is she to you?
My mom.
That's why, you should listen to her.
I can't stand the two of you.
Prepare dinner with me.
Ok.
You know what?
Usually, it's Ken who cooks for me.
-Really? -Yes.
Whenever I enter the kitchen,
he says I get in the way.
With you here today...
Xiao Feng.
We need to chop spring onion sprinklers.
Come, I'll teach you how.
The onion has be grasped tight.
Then it won't split apart.
And then, you must bend your fingers and place them against the chopper.
This way, you won't hurt yourself.
At first, take your time.
Chop them thin.
Can you do it?
Have a go.
Like this?
Yes, yes, yes.
Fingers against the chopper.
Take your time chopping.
-Oh no! -What is it?
This is dried beancurd. I wanted tofu (silken beancurd).
No worries, I'll go buy some.
It's ok, I'll go.
You take this.
-Watch over the boiling water. -Ok.
Aunty, how come you don't walk through the front door?
Don't you have to take a long detour walking the back door?
The front door,
is for Ken's dad to walk through.
When Ken's dad left us,
he left through that front door.
All these years,
I sincerely hope that he would walk back through the front door...
...and return to us.
That's why I don't wish for people to walk through the front door.
It's also because of this that Ken purposely walks through the front door.
His main aim is to make me angry.
He wishes...
He wishes that I'd forget his father.
But...
I can't do it.
Ok, I'm going to buy tofu.
Why are you so happy for?
Regarding the surgery...
What's your decision?
You still can't forgive them?
Don't you reckon that mom,
is now becoming more and more jovial.
And dad has found his own true interests.
I never thought that they would be able to get along this peacefully.
After you have your own freedom and space,
you will then be able to make an effort to get along with each other.
Better off "thinking of" then seeing each other.
Think it over yourself.
Mom.
Hey Xiao Feng.
How come you're so late tonight?
That's how it is when you're new staff.
Of course you need to work harder than everyone else.
Then...
Are you tired?
I'm ok.
But after standing the whole day,
my legs really can't take it.
Since when did our Xiao Feng become so caring?
Are you implying that I didn't care for you before?
Oops, sorry.
Your dad sent another letter.
Do you know what he said?
He says, besides learning bull fighting,
he's learning that fla.. something dance.
Fla.. Flamingo dance?
Yes, yes. That dance.
He said learning that dance is even more hard work than bull fighting.
After a day of dancing, he'll need 3 days of sleep.
I really don't understand him.
Of such an age, and still doing such strenuous activity.
I'm suspicious that his motive behind learning that dance,
is to pick up hot, Spanish chicks.
That's possible.
He also told me,
he'll ring home in a few days,
and teach me car selling techniques.
By the time he's thought of it and rang home,
who knows when that'll be.
Tomorrow, I'll buy him some medicated stick-ons and oil.
In case he keeps screaming in pain.
and complain that his waist and back hurt.
He said a whole lot of other things.
Do you wanna have a look yourself?
Ok.
Rest early.
Ok.
Do you want to go for lunch later?
Sure.
But, you have to wait up.
Wait for?
There's no-one in there.
Hey, what are you two doing?
Comparing bigger/smaller card.
Comparing bigger/smaller card?!!
How come you guys are becoming like Xiao Bai?
Playing such childish games?
What do you mean by childish?
Exactly.
This will decide our fate for today.
My turn.
So nervous!!
- Open your card when I count to 3. - Ok.
1,2,3.
Yay! I won.
I won, piece of cake.
I can't stand you guys.
So softly? Hit harder.
Careful, it's hot.
Ken, do you need my help?
Nope.
No one is supposed to help him.
Instead, you can order him around for all you like.
Today,
he's my little servant.
That's right.
I don't need your help.
I'll pour it for you.
Thanks.
So, picking the losing card has such a tragic outcome.
This game is really too exciting.
Xiao Feng.
Stop mistreating him.
You even got him to cook all our cup noodles.
It's no problem.
I'm little servant. I'll pour it for you.
Speed up.
Yes.
You are too inefficient.
Thank you, little servant.
Quickly eat up.
Wait up, wait up. Don't sit down yet.
Clean up the rubbish first.
Yes
Love is really mighty.
If there wasn't Xiao Feng,
we don't know when we would've been able to eat noodles made by Ken.
You guys take your time.
I don't feel like eating this.
Why is he acting weird?
I'll go have a look.
Maybe Mu Tou's MC's almost here.
And had great mood swings.
I'll leave first.
You guys eat up.
My bag.
Don't worry about him.
He's always been weird.
Hop on.
Look at this.
It's so dirty.
How can I sit on it?
Ok, I'll clean it right away.
Done.
That's more like it.
The helmet looks like it hasn't been washed for years.
It's so dirty.
Are you even sincere at all?
Let's go.
You're still playing?
It hurts!
Hurry.
Your motorbike won't break down on the way,
and then you'll tell me to push it?
It won't.
How about the petrol?
You have enough?
Can you shut up?
Where are we going, servant?
You'll find out soon.
Not bad, huh?
This is my secret base.
Even though it's not pretty.
But it has got character in it.
You're the first girl I've brought here.
Is that so?
So, I'm have to act touched, right?
Haven't we arranged it?
We'll live by the sea in future,
and depend our lives on the sea.
Yes.
Didn't you want to form a scuba swimming team?
And the team members would live together.
Have training together.
And you can even catch fish together.
I think...
we can also open up a small shop,
that rents scuba diving equipment,
surf boards
swim suits.
Customers can have personal requirements,
choosing their own attire through self service.
They can place the rental fees on the counter.
This way,
we don't need to look after the shop everyday.
And we can be comfortable and free to...
swim in the waters with the fishes.
Ken-chan.
Is oji-san great?
You're great.
Ken-chan, have a look.
Have a look at this, you guys.
You should know of this magazine.
A Worldwide Fashion magazine.
They actually seeked me as their photographer.
Such a miracle.
Blessing from the sky.
No.
Blessing from the clouds.
Thank you Xiao Yun. (yun = clouds)
You don't have to thank me.
It's your photography skills which gave you this chance.
Weird.
How come I can't see Gan Jiu's special skills?
Xiao Yun.
To be honest,
how much effort did you use to promote him?
I didn't.
It was the editor who decided to employ him.
After seeing the photos he took of me,
he decided to let him be this week's fashion theme's photographer.
Uncle, congratulations.
Thank you.
Thanks, Ken-chan.
Thank you Xiao Yun.
Because the theme for this week is to use amateur photographer,
Therefore,
They've decided to use unprofessional models.
I recommended the two of you.
I'm not interested.
That's aweseme, Xiao Feng.
Isn't it?
Actually, I think,
the young shouldn't waste their youth,
So... I reckon...
I can be a model too.
It's ok if you don't pay me.
However, the editor hopes to bring out a youthful feeling in this issue.
She's saying... you're too old.
Not suitable.
What do you mean I'm too old?
Say it again, say it again.
I'm the photgrapher appointed by the editor.
Unlike you, old and dark with no character.
How can you say that?
I can't just overlook this.
What do you mean different?
Your Japanese isn't all too great.
What are you trying to get at?
I'm saying, you're fat and dark.
You're not young in any means either.
Enough!
You done?
Gan Jiu will be the photographer.
Xiao Yun will be in charge of the models' image.
And you two will be the models.
Find 4 or 5 more classmates too.
Xiao Yun just mentioned that.
What about me?
You?
You'll be the labourer.
If there are any needs, you'll go over and help.
Labourer?!
Yes.
What do you think?
No comment, huh?
There is no need for more talks.
Ok. That's final.
You're smiling so happily.
Japanese boy.
Laugh then, laugh.
Thank you for being my model.
You're welcome.
You forced me into it.
Have you been with Ken a lot lately?
Are you two...
Master and slave relation.
I'm the master.
He's my slave from the magic lamp.
As soon as he grants my 3 wishes,
he'll be free.
What?
Let's go home.
We need to get up early for work tomorrow.
So slow, I'm not waiting for you.
Everybody, loosen up.
Aiyah, Ken is sweating.
Don't be nervous.
Thanks.
Ken, relax, ok?
Thank you.
How come you're sweating so much?
Ok.
Everybody, relax a little.
Seems like everyone still feels tense.
Cross your legs.
Right leg.
Cross your right leg.
On your right.
Everybody's right.
Right side.
Your own right side.
Right leg, right leg.
Cross your right leg.
1,2,3...
Left leg.
Flying saucer.
What?
Everyone cross your legs,
and then lean back and say "ah".
Ok?
"ah..."
You two...
You two have the same necklace.
I'll take a picture of the necklace.
Don't move, don't move.
Ok! This photo is to celebrate you guys dating.
Everyone on the side, make a heart with your fingers.
And then say, "oh". Dating.
And you two in the middle.
Make a heart shape with your arms.
Ok?
1,2,3..
In love.
Put your fingers.
That's monkey king sutra.
In love.
Ok.
Break.
Thanks.
Take a break.
Thank you!
Oh yeah,
How come Mu Tou didn't come?
Will he come tonight?
Don't worry,
I already told him I have something important to tell him.
So he must be home on time.
Ok, last photo
We'll have a group shot.
Xiao Yun, you go in too.
-Together -Ok.
Come in as well.
That's right.
Come in.
Ok, ok. I'll set the self-timer
Hurry.
How was it? We scared you, huh?
How come everyone's here?
Xiao Bai,
you told me to come,
for a dinner gathering?
You're so heartless.
Today, is our 3 year anniversary since we met.
Where the heck did you go?
Everyone was waiting for you.
Exactly.
I'm starving to death.
Quickly come over.
We're starting to celebrate now.
Come on over.
Wait up.
Shouldn't we toast first?
This year,
besides us, we need to add Xiao Xiao and Ken in it too.
So from the little group of 5,
we're now a gang of 7.
Don't think of such old-fashioned names.
Scrap the group of 5 or gang of 7, ok?
Oh, please. We thought about it for 3 years.
But never came up with a good name.
In such a short time,
I was able to think of group of 5 and gang of 7...
- ...is already.... -Ok, ok.
We're not planning to go into the entertainment industry.
The name is not important.
For now, let's toast!
Celebrating our prevailing friendship.
Yeah!
Ken, it's mom.
Why aren't you answering your phone?
I've already bought what Uncle wanted.
But there's one more thing I can't remember.
So...
I'll ring you back in a moment.
Zhong Yi. (Jap name translated)
Zhong Yi, wait a second.
Zhong Yi.
Why did we used to look like that?
So ugly.
What are you doing?
Abolishing evidence.
If people see that, we'll get laughed at.
Don't you dare.
I feel that...
you're becoming more and more like Xiao Feng, the tyrant.
What?
What did you just say?
I didn't hear properly.
I'm saying,
you're becoming more beautiful.
You used to wear a wig.
From the back,
you looked like a walking mushroom.
What walking mushroom?
- Watch what you say. - Right, see.
You were like a mushroom head before.
Now, you're a pretty girl.
There's photos as proof.
The me before, and the me now,
we're really different.
Before was the contemporary talent, now I'm the talent among the contemparies.
What are you laughing at?
Mu Tou.
Are you in a bad mood?
I'm fine.
Here, cheers.
Look at me.
Now and before.
When I was the contemporary talent, and now the talent among the contemparies.
My sis and your uncle shouldn't be busy anymore.
Let me tell them to come here and celebrate.
Out of battery.
Give me your cell phone.
Why's it so hard to take out?
2 missed calls.
It's Aunty.
My mom?
Ring her back and see.
Maybe something's up.
Why would my mom call me?
This is our last year's...
No, it was our summer 3 years ago,
at Tai Ping mountain.
Zhong Yi.
Because I had a friend,
who worked at a tea house before.
So, everytime he finished work, he would ride his bicycle home.
One day he bought a motorcycle.
And then he wanted to say that he worked really late.
And when he got back, he was super tired.
So he took shortcuts to get home.
In the end, there was a road on the other side,
where trains would travel.
Next to it was a little hill.
That road didn't have much lighting.
Are you even listening?
And then...
that day he rode on that other road.
As he was riding...
He realized...
He then realized...
How come there's a person perpendicularly on the hillside?
And his jacket was hanging in that perpendicular direction.
He was then scared to death.
Throughout the journey home, he kept chanting scriptures.
And rode past.
That's it. Isn't it scary?
What are you crapping on about?
I find it quite creepy.
When I first heard it,
I had goosebumps all over.
If you don't know how to appreciate it, fine!
