Mom.
This is your favorite beach.
Ken.
Be careful.
Let's see what they have here.
There's seashells over there.
Look here. Look what I've got here.
A crab.
Let's go and look for some more.
It's very cold.
It's fun!
Give me your hand.
It's not the one in front.
Here, I'll hold your hand.
You think this it fun? Do you know what you're doing?
You left home with Aunty's ashes without a word.
Uncle thought you were going to commit suicide.
Aunty won't be able to leave peacefully if you continue on like this.
Do you know that?
Ken.
Did you forget your name?
Or do you not know what you are doing?
You need be to tell you, right?
Okay. Your name is Ken.
Liu Jian Dong.
Do you know that you are as good as a useless bum now?
Wake up!
Come back!
Get up!
Speak up!
Speak up...
I came here...
...to send her off.
Goodbye, Mom.
Aunty, Goodbye.
~Japanese song~
I fell asleep.
It's okay.
Sleep if you're tired.
I just...
...dreamt of mom.
I dreamt that I was lying in her arms.
Like you....
She was singing to me.
To all the audience...
Xiao Feng with wings is reborn.
Ken, come here.
Quick, lift it up.
It's the same as previously.
It's magical.
The master has very good skills.
Don't forget that someone who contributed the most.
If not for Mu Tou who generously helped out with the money, this matter would not have been solved.
Can I say a few words now?
At the same time, I'll curse that person who destroyed your drawings. Blast his asshole.
Hey.
- What are you talking about? - You're disgusting.
I'm angry. If not for that jerk...
We wouldn't have to go through all this trouble, right?
Alright. Are you done with your cursing?
We should let the male lead of the day, Ken, to say a few words.
Yeah.
Thank you everybody.
I don't know how to express my gratitude to you guys.
But...
This is the best gift you guys have given me.
No matter who the culprit was...
I think it is not important anymore.
In fact, I have to thank him.
Because he let me acquire the most precious friendships.
Thank you.
Where's Mu Tou?
Why is he gone?
That's strange.
Why did he leave without saying a word?
That roommate of mine is always behaving strangely.
He may be feeling shy.
You take great interest in brick-like things.
Mu Tou.
The money you contributed, I'll return you in the next few days.
It's not necessay.
No. I heard from Xiao Feng that it's savings to study abroad.
Moreover, the drawing is my own work.
I should of course return you the money.
You really don't need to.
- That sum of money... treat it as... - Treat it as bygone.
I knew you were going to say that.
Don't worry. After I return you the money, I'll still be able to survive.
Let bygones be bygones.
But bear in mind.
I still owe you one.
If you need a favor,
come to me, don't be shy.
Thanks, I'll make a move first.
I'm here.
You seem to be in a good mood.
Not bad at all.
Then take me out to have some fun.
Sure.
Let's pick a card.
- Hurry. - It's my turn.
Yay, I won.
This is wonderful. I've been very lucky lately.
I keep winning.
Take me out to have fun.
Let's have some fun....
Okay.
Alright, hopping on.
Oh, your bag.
Come over here. Closer.
Let me first demostrate to you all.
Let me first tell you...
Famous Chefs in the world are usually guys.
You girls have to stand aside.
I didn't know you cook this well.
Of course.
All the males in our family are good cooks.
Ken's cooking is not bad at all.
But...
I am a little better than him.
More than a little.
Really?
With your standards, Ken's cooking should be okay.
But, I've picked up some Taiwanese dishes' secret recipes from Jin Gang.
With the combination of Taiwanese and Japanese dishes, I'm now the best.
Ken is not as good as me.
He doesn't cook but loves to stick around in the kitchen.
When he cooks...
Aiyah, don't disturb me while I'm cooking.
Ken's dishes are always so starchy.
Who are you ill-speaking of?
An elder is ill-speaking the younger ones.
I'm caught red-handed. So sorry.
Let's eat.
We must thank Mr. Gan Jiu.
Thank You!
Welcome!
Ken.
You must drop by for dinner whenever you're free. Don't be shy.
Oh yes.
I want to try your cooking.
No problem.
So next time, I'll be able to taste Ken's cooking.
You mean my cooking's not good?
It's very delicious.
It's alright.
So, I can also drop by here frequently?
Doesn't make a difference. We just have to add a set of culinary for you.
Oh yes. We need someone to clear the leftovers.
Don't believe what they said. They're just teasing you.
We welcome you with wide open arms.
- Thanks. - Mom, I really want to taste your cooking again.
This is delicious. Our family needs a chef.
Mom, are all tired from a whole day's work?
Ken.
Aiyah. Ken, have more.
What are you reading?
What's so nice about it?
- Bible! - Bible?
Wow, it's so cool?
Xiao Xiao lent it to me.
The content is very meaningful.
Really? Let me take a look.
They are all words.
Back to you.
You are so impatient and rash.
You are sinking too deep.
Oh God!
I'm so impatient and rash.
Save me, please?
Stop irritating me! I'm concentrating on reading the Bible.
And here you are, disturbing me.
Holy Father, Holy Jesus and & Holy Spirit, charge!
Piss off!
You're so annoying.
I'm bloated.
What's up?
Oh no! Look at how big my tummy is.
Obviously. Look how much you eat at a time.
Of course it'll expand.
But I'm hungry, that's why.
If Xiao Yun were to see my pot belly,
will it damage image?
If you knew, why'd you eat so much?
It won't make a difference,
I don't think you've set much of an impression on her.
How embarrassing.
Oh...
Oh what?
- Oh... - Oh what?
- I realized something... - Realized what?
You've fallen in love?
Fall... what? No...
It's just...
Why are you stuttering?
A true man should admit it.
Ok, I admit it.
Xiao Yun has the No.1 position in my heart.
No.1? That means you have a No.2?
Um, no.
Speak it out if you like her.
If not, someone else will take that place.
I don't know how to confess.
Yes, you do.
It's that phrase that's always on TV.
Which phrase?
You know it.
"Please date me before we marry."
That's correct.
Perhaps I can.
Exactly.
But...
What now?
If I marry Xiao Yun,
and then you marry Xiao Feng. Then...
Will you call me Uncle or Bro?(said in Japanese)
Which one will it be?
In mandarin, it'll be "Jie Fu". (brother-in-law)
Ok, that'll do.
That's better than uncle.
I like that.
Enjoy your dreaming.
I'm gonna sleep.
Ok.
"Jie Fu" sounds good.
Good night, brother-in-law.
Crazy bum.
Why do you look like you got dumped?
Why'd you scare me?
I'm thinking...
Of dismissing the swimming team.
Actually, the swimming team was never established. So, I can't say that.
How come?
What about the effort you put in?
And everyone's efforts?
Will you just put it all to waste?
No, I just feel like thinking over things.
For instance, just take the gathering members situation.
I feel that I was too uptight about things.
I should take it easy.
Relax, relax, take it easy!
I feel much better.
Do you think I'm giving up on my dreams too easily?
No.
It's your own decision.
Not having to worry about the swimming team,
means I have more time to spend with you.
What are you on about?
Such a dilemma, huh?
No, you're meant to spend time with me anyway.
I just didn't want people to say, you were blinded by love.
When you started liking me,
were you in a dilemma?
What do you think?
Fine, I'll tell you.
Liu Jian Dong!
Ok..
That hurt.
Mom.
I was just looking for you.
You're dad wrote us a letter.
He said he met a designer over there.
And since you were interested in fashion trends,
and have qualifications in makeup artistry.
He suggests you further your studies in a college in New York called F.I.T.
I have a friend who graduated from there.
It's a very acclaimed school.
Your dad also said to not worry about the school fees.
He'll take care of that.
What happens to my work here?
You don't need to decide straight away.
You can take your time to consider it.
I'd be worried have to studying so far away.
But this is truly a special opportunity.
You can't go.
Dad has gone to Spain.
Now, you're going to New York.
She'll be coming back.
You can further your studies here in Taiwan as well.
But there's no such schools in Taiwan.
Also, to be able to go out and see the world,
when you return,
you'll see the world differently.
Mom, you've become so open minded.
Well, I used to be home or at the cafe.
But now, I get to go outside.
Of course my perspectives will change.
Sis, do you really want to go?
Xiao Feng, I know you'll miss her.
I'll miss her too.
But this chance could boost her future to its highest potential.
We should be happy for her.
We'd be happy if you had such an opportunity also.
Here, this is a letter from dad.
Have a read.
Xiao Yun, take your time to think it over.
We'll discuss it further with your dad.
I feel this is a great opportunity.
You can go overseas and experience a different lifestyle.
And see the outside world.
And compare its similarities and differences to here.
Your life might be altered immensely.
And you'll have new morals and values.
You'll meet a lot of new friends.
Isn't that right?
That's right.
I'm sorry, Xiao Feng.
I'm the one who should apologize.
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't be so selfish.
And force everyone to stay by my side.
I didn't even consider other people's feelings.
No matter what your decision is...
I'll...
Still support you.
Why are you copying me?
I'm not, you're copying me.
You are.
Sis.
Gan Jiu before the Goddess of mercy.
Shaolin Martial Arts Moves
Jin Gang before the Goddess of mercy.
You...!
Say sorry.
Stop it.
It's all his fault.
Speak up! What's going on between you two?
- It's your fault. - I told you, it's impossible.
Stop fighting!
Ken, this is very important.
It affects my happiness for the next half of my life.
Yeah, yeah. You'll see when you get rejected by Xiao Yun.
You'll be living in a shadow instead.
Shadow. You know that that is?
I only discussed about how to confess to Xiao Yun with you since you're a good friend.
In return, all you did was put me down.
What type of friend is that?
Oh please! I was only being so direct because you're a good friend.
My ass! You're not Xiao Yun, how do you know she'll reject me?
You don't even need to ask.
What do you mean?
That's what I meant.
What do you want..?
Hey!
You two are so immature.
Where are you going?
To school.
But the problem isn't solved yet.
You haven't given us advice yet.
Solve it yourselves.
What should we do?
Let's not argue.
Yeah.
Being a friend, I shouldn't have said you'd be rejected.
It's ok.
Even if she rejects me, it's ok.
I still have to confess.
I must.
What a coincidence.
I was just looking for you.
Pick a card.
That's not counted, let's try again.
Ok.
Yay! I won!
That's right, you won.
Why are you so happy?
You won, so I'm happy.
You're happy?
Very happy?
Very happy.
You're very happy, and then I won.
Yes.
So I can do whatever I want?
Yes.
Happy huh?!
Come here.
- Kiss the shark. Don't come out until you do! -
Kiss the shark.
Don't come out until you do!
It's mouth looks so strange.
There's all these lumps.
Xiao Feng, isn't it too much for a joke?
Who cares.
Let's bet..
on whether he'll kiss it successfully or not.
Don't say stupid things.
Persuade Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng, are you using Ken to let out ur anger?
How come you're wearing that today?
Does it look good?
Not bad.
The snake leather symbolizes
freedom and belief in faith.
But, for you...
I can sacrifice my freedom.
What are you trying to say?
I'm confessing my love for you.
Confession..
Under the witness of the Holy Cross.
Please date me before we marry.
Please sit down, and then we'll discuss it.
Please date me before we marry.
I'm sorry, I can't accept your love.
I'm sorry.
It's alright.
No need to be sorry.
I already knew the answer before.
Everyone said I wouldn't succeed.
So, as a man, the choice of freedom is much better.
That's not what I meant.
It's not because of you.
It's because I've already decided to study in New York.
I'll be leaving next week.
Why are you sighing?
How about you?
I feel that our family is under a curse.
Our love lives are destined to be unsuccessful.
Xiao Yun, eat some more.
You won't be able to eat it in America.
Mom, there's Chinese restaurants in America too.
But they're not cooked by me.
I'll definitely eat a lot.
It's going to be a long time before I'll taste mom's cooking again.
Mom, what's wrong?
Once I think about Xiao Yun all the way in New York...
Mom, don't be this way.
New York isn't on another planet.
If you miss me, just buy a plane ticket,
and you'll be able to see me right away.
You make it sound so easy. New York..
will take more than 10-20 hours on the plane.
Sis, you might as well not go.
Xiao Feng.
That's right. Since mom doesn't want you to go, then don't go.
That's not what I meant.
Of course I'd support her, she's going there to study.
It's just...
Don't worry about me.
I'm not going to freeze or starve to death.
I won't get into any accidents.
I will look after myself.
Please don't worry about me.
Xiao Feng, you'll have to look after mom.
Don't you worry,
when you come back you'll see a fair and chubby mom.
Why will I be fair and chubby?
Because I'll be feeding you.
Alright, let's all dig in.
It's delicious.
Eat more then.
- Otherwise I'll be seen as disobedient.. - Hey, I'm the one leaving.
This way, I'll become fair and chubby.
Have this sweet and sour rib.
She hasn't left yet and I'm already fair and chubby.
You have to be fair and chubby too.
I am already.
Sis.
What is it?
Sis.
What do you want to say?
Sis.
What's up? You're going to miss me?
Don't worry. I'm very strong.
I'm afraid you'll meet someone like Simon overseas.
I don't regret all that I put into the relationship with Simon.
Because, if I had experienced that,
I wouldn't be the way I am now.
You know that?
But everytime we're faced with a relationship
it's always so hectic.
Don't you feel very helpless?
No.
Look at me.
Don't I look very strong and fit?
Yes.
Sis.
Can you sleep with me tonight,
just like when we were little.
I'm not going to act discreet then.
Where do you think the plane is now?
It'll arrive at New York in 16 hours.
Pick a card.
You won.
Oh.
What do you want to do?
Let me see..
I want..
You can take your time.
We have the whole day.
I got it!
What is it?
Im not telling you.
Tell me.
Are you telling me or not?
Do you think I'll give in like that? Not telling.
You gonna tell me?
