~ Previously ~ Geng Geng!
Success or failure, all depends on this!
You'll still call me tomorrow, right?
Hand it over.
I'm just a bit worried about Yu Huai.
If I were you, I wouldn't even be able to sleep right now.
So winning first place prize isn't possible?
Do you like watching me crying like a loser? Did I disappoint you?
You are such a loser right now!
Do you know who you're aggrieving the most right now?
It's Geng Geng!
You don't have any talent.
Give it up. I really am...
...a bit tired.
After taking the exam, let's go back to the school together to check out the answers.
Pinky swear.
Is Yu Huai here yet?
He came very early. He was checking the answers here a few moments ago,
and then he just left without saying a word.
With You
[2015]
[Beijing]
In the recent Young Talent Photography Competition, a black horse appeared.
With her individual work, "Sisters", the young photographer Geng Geng
was able to get the top prize against 300 local and international photographers
and against more than 2,000 works.
Geng Geng.
Where's the cover photo I took?
How come it became this huge face?
We can't use that one.
When the proposal was submitted last time,
didn't you say you have other ideas?
That face who had undergone excessive plastic surgeries couldn't even be photoshopped.
How could she be worthy of our magazine's front page?
Didn't you say that yourself?
Geng Geng! What nonsense are you saying?
Do you not want to work here anymore?
She's a celebrity after all.
Don't embarrass her too much.
Okay. Boss, you're right.
I didn't want to work here a long time ago. I'm really quitting.
Hey! Hey!
Marry me!
You're here to make matters worse, too?
Isn't this a huge surprise?
No. You're so annoying.
If that wasn't romantic enough, I'll propose again!
[Episode 23: After All These Years, You Still Can't Forget Him]
Why did you suddenly think of inviting me for a drink?
To congratulate me.
Congratulate what?
I lost my job again.
Do you still remember the day when you quit working as a civil servant?
I find you so sexy that time.
So I got excited and...
From that day up until now, I've proposed to you 56 times now.
You didn't feel touched at all?
Not that many times.
I want to go home.
Open up a photo studio. Take pictures of things that I love.
What about us?
I haven't drawn a nude painting of you.
Lin Fan!
Sister!
Your hair is so ugly.
Sister, this is called fashion. Can't you tell?
What fashion?! Push my luggage.
At least, try to help.
Here, give it to me.
Sister, the new house has two bedrooms.
I left the one facing east for you. It's bigger.
I also don't need to sleep in the study.
What about the stuff in my room?
I helped you clean it up. You have so many books.
I cleaned for an entire day.
As if you don't know of how oppressive Zhen Hua is.
Hello?
Oh, I put it inside my backpack and took it home.
How about... you come to my house and pick it up?
Silly boy. You're dating now?
Sister, what are you talking about? Dating is not allowed in high school.
Dad. Mom. I brought my sister back.
Geng Geng's back!
You're back!
This new house isn't too bad.
All the appliances are new. Look.
This television, isn't it huge?
Maybe, by that day...
It's huge. Your dad watches the TV all day and doesn't help me.
What's going on? You're still watching "Return of the Pearl Princess"?
That's the new edition. But it's not as good as the old one.
But that actress that played Liu Hong is really not bad.
- Dad, hand me some milk. - Okay.
Why are you drinking milk? You won't be able to eat later.
Come, let's eat, Geng Geng.
You haven't eaten that for a long time, right? Eat more.
And my favorite potato.
Hi.
What are you really planning to do with your life?
You resigned on a nice civil servant job after just three months.
You said you love taking photos, so you applied in a magazine company.
Then go work on one. Why did you quit your job again?
Mom, I... Look, I haven't even done eating my welcoming dinner and you're already messing my mood.
What can you do in going back there?
Lower down your voice.
Be careful of being heard by that Belgian husband of yours.
I plan to open my own photography studio and take photos of things that I love.
Isn't that still taking photos?
You gave up on a stable job to do free-lancing work.
With you being like this, can you be married off?
Anyway, I won't be married off even if I stay in Beijing.
You're unable to get married and you still think you're at the right?
Bye-bye.
What are you doing?
That, Geng Geng. Stop reading that. Let's have a chat first.
Okay, let's chat.
Your aunt and I were very happy that you're able to come back.
As a girl, the stress of living in Beijing must be huge.
- Indeed. - I told you before to come back, but you wouldn't.
Saying about pursuing one's career.
Hey, this time, really great. You're back and we're at ease.
What do you want to say?
Geng Geng, the things that your mother said were for your good, too.
For a woman, it's better to be married early.
The son of our school's principal
just got back from his studies in England. That lad is quite handsome.
Is it okay if I introduce him to you?
Just go meet him.
Go get to know him. He's really handsome.
- Aunt Qi! - Eat some oranges.
- Right. That... Go boil some water and make me some tea. - Okay.
That... Did what happen between your mother and I
left you some psychological trauma?
Eat an orange. When not doing anything, go play some cards with the old man downstairs.
Or, you can go online and play some "Fight the Landlord" cardgames. Stop worrying about nothing.
You have never dated, even once?
Teacher Geng.
- Please call me Geng Geng. - Oh, Geng Geng.
Someone made a booking earlier asking us for a photo proposal with Zhen Hua High School as the venue.
And it must be you who would personally do the shoot.
- Zhen Hua? - Yeah.
Did the client leave a name?
The client said that she can agree to any condition but refused to give her name.
[Zhen Hua High School]
Stop right there. What are you doing?
I just wanted to go inside and take a look.
What look? This isn't a tourist spot. What's there to look at?
Leave, leave, leave.
Sir, I graduated here.
Who can prove you graduated here?
I don't need anyone to prove it.
Let me tell you that my homeroom teacher back then was Mr. Zhang Ping.
My math teacher was Mr. Zhang Feng.
I'm for real. I'm not tricking you.
Geng Geng? You're Geng Geng, right?
- Zhen Yamin! - Geng Geng, it's really you!
Wow, you're still a bun.
- Can't do anything about it. It's my favorite. Geng Geng you became prettier. - Thank you.
Hey, Teacher Zhen, you know her?
This my high school classmate. She also graduated here.
Teacher Zhen?
Of course. I'm a teacher now.
Please go in now.
You should change your radio already.
It's convenient to use.
[Lecture Hall Building]
When I graduated from Beijing Normal University, I actually was given a chance to stay there.
But I think becoming a teacher at Zhen Hua is still more blissful, so I came back.
What about you, Geng Geng? Why did you come back?
I couldn't stand Beijing anymore.
Look, this is the room of our Class Five.
I still remember when Yu Huai led the class to protest against Zhang Ping.
In the end, we won. You and Yu Huai became seatmates.
Are you still in contact with Yu Huai?
No one in our class has any news about him.
No.
Geng Geng, I need to go teach now.
- Oh, right, let me add your WeChat. - Okay.
- Our class has a group. I'll add you. - Let me scan yours.
- Okay. - Okay.
- I'll be going now. - Let's stay in contact.
Teacher Zhang Ping would frequently mention you.
He's still in his old office.
- Reporting! - Come in!
Mr. Zhang Ping, you were looking for me?
Geng Geng?
Our great photographer!
In a famous Beijing magazine, what's that job title again?
- Chief Photographer. - I've resigned.
- You quit? - Yes.
Hey, you look handsome on those clothes. It suits you well.
Come, let's take a shot.
- So handsome. - Zhang Ping.
How many times have I told you that you can't drink yesterday's tea?
I've made you a new one.
Look who's here.
Teacher.
Geng Geng! Geng Geng, it's been so long!
Yes.
Look at my family.
That's my son. He's already five years old.
Your son looks a lot like Teacher Shen.
Good thing, he didn't inherit your rustic bearing.
I'll pour you some water. You two just chat.
This is our class picture.
- Reporting! - Come in.
Mr. Zhang, we're here to deliver our homework.
This one is your senior, a student from my first homeroom class.
Hello, Senior.
In here, there's no you or Yu Huai.
You were taking the picture, while Yu Huai was preparing for his competition.
- This is really— - The best times.
Hey, say, don't teachers usually tell their students that your batch is the worst?
How come you like to emphasize that those were the best times?
But aren't they really the best times?
I haven't seen a lot of these people nor have news about them.
Have you seen Yu Huai?
You stayed in the sciences class back then just because of him.
Yu Huai, I... don't know.
He didn't keep in touch with me.
The whole class doesn't have any news about him.
How could he have disappeared just like that?

Thank you for the hyacinth that you gifted me.
That was an ostrich egg that my father brought from Africa.
I planted it there myself.
Hey, right. Doctor Han, where's the milk brand I told you to buy last time?
When will you mail it to me?
Go ask Beta. Isn't she in London?
Beta, please help me.
My wife is lacking some milk lately.
How is that my business?
Geng Geng, you joined yet you're not saying at all. Come out of there!
You're in England, so how could you make me come out?
Hey, those doing private chats, open a private window.
Those asking others to buy things for them, get lost.
Hey, I have a sudoku game here. Who can help me solve it?
Sudoku? I stopped doing brain exhausting things like that.
Let me do it! I'm great at this!
This is quite interesting.
I have something to do during my meeting later.
Geng Geng, right?
You are An...
- Right, my name is Andy, A-N-D-Y. - Andy.
That, I more or less know about your general situation already.
I just have some supplemental questions.
This, have you dated before?
- How many children are there in your family? - Me and my little brother.
My guess was right. An unmarried woman at your age plus a little brother will surely lower your value.
Does your family favor men over women?
My little brother is the child of my stepmother.
Oh, you're from a divorced family.
Who among normal people would do divorce?
Then you're an undergrad graduate, right?
Say, with you coming from a small city, [To Lu Xinghe: Quickly call to save me.]
it wasn't easy for you to get into a college in Beijing. Why didn't you take some graduate degree?
My grades were bad. I couldn't get in.
Before, I read a research.
The article goes like this. It says that a woman's intelligence
is usually inherited from her parents.
Please excuse me. I'll just answer this call.
Right. It's Little Wild Duck International Trading.
We usually are the distributor of crude oil. [- Where's your blind date? - Yedao (Coconut Island) Cafe. Quickly come!]
With a discount, it's probably 8,000 plus.
Why did he hang up on me?
You're quite virtuous. You must also have heard that I'm quite busy.
For household chores, I think that it's still better that the woman will do it.
- Oh, right, what is your work? - I'm a photographer.
The earning of a photographer doesn't seem reliable.
But if we have a child in the future, you can take his picture.
That's quite good. Come, let's toast.
Yo, Miss Geng, right?
Hello. Hello.
Never thought that I'll bump into you here!
I've admired you for so long. Did you come back for a lecture?
What lecture?
It's really rare to see a photographer at your level here in my hometown.
I just came back to visit my parents.
Say, your family is made up of a high level professor, a high ranking executive,
and now, a great artist like you.
If the man isn't some descendant of a scholarly clan, doesn't have villas or at least 3 to 5 cars,
he surely won't be able to marry a noble lady like you, right?
Right! That, my business is really progressing well right now. I just need to work harder for 3 to 5 years, I would have all those.
- Right, Geng Geng? - Hey.
Are you qualified to call her that?
For you.
- What is it? - You'll know once you open it when you get home.
You especially came back from Beijing just to gift me this?
Are you touched?
Help me with a favor.
Dad! Aunt Qi! Come, please come in.
- That, Aunt. - Hello. Hello.
Hello, Uncle.
I am Geng Geng's boyfriend. My name is Lu Xinghe.
Ah... Come and sit here!
Right, please come in and sit.
- Come. Please sit down. - Thanks. Thanks.
Sit.
That... Geng Geng, we never heard that you have a boyfriend.
Where's Lin Fan?
Don't change the subject. We're asking you.
Uncle, it's like this. The two of us were together in Beijing for quite a few years.
Isn't it because she wants to come back, but I wanted to stay in Beijing,
so we broke up.
A few days ago, I heard that she's going to a blind date. I felt so upset.
I thought about it a long time and realized that we still love each other,
so I decided to chase her back.
She went to her blind date and you went there, too?
I grabbed her back!
Say, Geng Geng, why didn't you tell us that you have a boyfriend?
We even arranged a blind date for you. Isn't that such a joke?
This, enough already. I'll just go explain things to them.
Since she already has a boyfriend, we should be happy about it.
Right.
That... Since we've said things at this level, Uncle,
I actually came to ask her hand for marriage.
You're going overboard...
Look, we're not that young anymore.
This matter shouldn't be dragged for that long, right?
I still don't know what you do.
I'm a professional artist.
A few years ago, I signed a few contracts with some US and European art galleries.
My paintings are selling quite fine.
Let me show you this.
This one sold very well. It's called "Alien Raping an Earthling Girl."
It's fine. It's fine. That, let me show you the painting I'm gifting you.
Okay. Okay.
Lin Fan?! What happened to Lin Fan?!
Lin Fan? What happened?
Please get out of the way!
So painful!
If anything bad happens to that child, what should I do?!
I told him not to play soccer!
Don't panic. Don't panic. He'll be all right.
Thanks.
Uncle, Aunt, don't worry anymore.
This hospital is the best in the province.
You go rest for a while. I'll handle the paperworks.
I'll go with you.
Just stay with Uncle and Aunt.
[Operating Room]
It will be fine.
So painful!
Painful? You even know what painful is?
Aren't you very naughty?
- Now, aren't you so well-behaved? - Okay... Ball...
Still thinking about your ballgame. Look at how scared your mother was.
Hey... No need.
- I'll go out for a while. - Okay.
Sister, who is he?
That is your Sister Geng Geng's—
Brother-in-law?
Looks like you haven't been injured that severely.
Sister! Can you be gentler?
Can you be more behaved?
[Shanhai City People's Hospital]
One, two, three! Okay.
For the next one, bashfully look down.
One, two, three! Very good!
Perfect.
Our photo shoot ends here.
- Thanks. - You're welcome.
- Yue Yue! - Yes! - Take them to change their clothes.
- This way please. - You both worked hard.
- Hello, Dad. - Geng Geng, your Aunt Qi will be working overtime tonight.
Can you go to the hospital and accompany Lin Fan?
Sure, no problem. Got it. Bye-bye.
Sister, I feel that Brother-in-law Lu is not bad.
Can't you see it? It's fake.
Dad and Mom are pressuring me too intensely. I asked him to help me. We're good friends.
I think he's a nice guy. You two just turn this fake act into reality.
You also want to meddle with my life?
It's very rare to encounter a person who likes you.
What do you mean by that? Are you saying that I will never encounter a person I like?
That's not what I meant. What I mean is
he happens to like you and I notice that he's a nice guy.
You two are both considering marriage. Why then can't you two be together?
What's wrong with you today? Why did you ask me to eat at a place like this?
To thank you.
Those words sounded so fake coming from your mouth.
Get lost.
If you really want to thank me, let's go get our marriage certificate tomorrow.
What about those little girlfriends of yours in Beijing?
I'll just find time to visit them.
I'm serious.
If we're together, what about them?
It means... you're agreeing?
That's easy to handle.
No, are you crazy?!
I'm completely saying goodbye to them.
By doing that, you also lost my phone number.
I can memorize your number even backwards.
- 93564— - Stop.
When will we get married then?
- What get married? You haven't even proposed to me. - I've proposed to you so many times.
You were not satisfied even once?
Are those called proposing marriage. At most, they are just some performance arts.
Do you know the meaning of a marriage proposal?
It's being together with you. It's being unscrupulous just to be with you.
Geng Geng, if you really agree to my proposal,
I surely will give you a marriage proposal that you want.
Geng Geng, I've solved the Sudoku game that Yu Huai gave you.
What is it?
Geng Geng, I've solved the Sudoku game that Yu Huai gave you.
These numbers are map latitudes.
Quickly, go look. Maybe, we'll get some news about Yu Huai.
You must treat me to a meal.
You still haven't forgotten him.
Fine. I'll help you find him.
Turn left in the intersection up front.
36.25 degrees north latitude.
It's that area 300 meters in front. There. Turn left.
300 meters more up front.
It's not this road.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Always by my Side Team 💞at Viki
Hello. Is there anything I can help you with?
Do you know Yu Huai?
Yu Huai? What Yu Huai?
How did it go?
Geng Geng, let me tell you that Yu Huai is just an asshole!
Must you find him?!
Okay. I'll accompany you to find him.
Whether he's a person or a ghost, I'll dig him out. I'll make you give up.
Sister, tell me, do you like Lu Xinghe?
Just mind your own business. Go and amuse that little girl first.
She and I purely just have a classmate relationship. We can't date while in high school.
Really? Look at your expression. You've been betrayed by it.
Sister, there really is nothing between us.
Is it Lu Xinghe?
Hello.
Hello. I'll take you somewhere tomorrow.
Where is this?
I've asked the police station yesterday. This is Yu Huai's house.
What's wrong?
I can't dare to knock.
You've even worn out your metal shoes and you're backing out now?
Yu Huai!
Open the door, Yu Huai!
Stop knocking. They've moved out.
Where did they move to? Do you know?
I don't know. They didn't say.
Then, when did they move out?
It's been quite some time already.
Oh, thank you.
No need for thanks.
If he's not dead, he must be just hiding somewhere!
- Geng Geng, give up! - Accompany me for a walk.
Do you know that on my wall back home,
I wrote the words success and failure?
Everytime I proposed marriage to you, I would draw a line
under the failure word. Unconsciously, it has been 56 times.
I so hope that for once,
you would carelessly say that you accept it.
You want to trick me into marrying you in that muddled manner?
Hey, right. Have you looked at the painting I gave you?
I really never thought that you've kept that picture.
I still remember your expression when you taught me how to use a camera,
your face when you were shouting towards the seas,
the paper silhouette of the sunset. So many years have passed,
yet it feels like it was just yesterday.
I love the texture of the wooden board.
I printed it on that
because I wish to forever preserve the you that day,
because that was the only picture of you that I have,
because there is only one you.
I don't want to miss out on you.
Let's be together.
I'm still not ready yet.
So... you accept?
Okay. When I dig up that asshole Yu Huai,
you'll be ready.
♫ You rode your bike with that girl sitting behind you ♫
- An antique! - What are you doing?
I want to check it out.
♫ Not afraid of wind or rain coming ♫
Then tell me. How do you use this?

Those people who suddenly come into our lives
never wait until you're ready to appear.
♫ I was once willing to disregard everything, wanting to be with you forever ♫
From now on if anyone bullies you, feel free to call me anytime.
I will really, really, really miss you!
♫ We were unable to grab hold of it ♫
There are a lot of things in life
that we don't get to decide about.
But it's okay. I'll try to work harder in my own direction.

♫ What you miss the most is still that first one ♫

[Come to the hospital tonight to fetch me.]
[Okay.]
Geng Geng. Why didn't you tell me you had a boyfriend?
Send me a picture so I can take a look.
Mom, is there an end with you?!
I'm in the hospital. People here need to rest.
Don't call me mom. Quickly open the video call.
Jian Dan what craziness is this? I'm not at home.
Geng Geng, when I visited Zhou Mo here in the US, I discovered a huge secret.
Hurry up and open it.
Jian Dan, are you sick?
Don't you find this expensive?
- Geng Geng. - Geng Geng!
Listen to me explain.
No! No!
- No— - Zhou Mo, let me tell you that I won't let you off with this.
No, it's not what you think it is.
- It's true! I'm serious! - Hey, give that to me!
- Stop! Stop! Did you two call so I can listen to you fight? - I will never be able to clear my name!
Geng Geng, can you see this?
This is Yu Huai's notebook. Look.
Can you see it?
Let me tell you. These past four to five years,
Zhou Mo has been cooperating with Yu Huai.
He only moved out two days ago.
Look. Just to hide from me...
He's actually hiding from you.
Do you know?
Look. This is his blanket.
- He... Get up! Get up! - I won't!
He once was living here.
Also,
the instant noodles he ate.
Look. This has been opened and he didn't dispose of it.
Look. Zhou Mo,
you actually helped him hide this from us for so many years.
No, are you done?
- Geng Geng, are you all right? - Are you okay?
I'm fine.
I'll slowly explain it to you. No, wrong...
I promised him that I can't explain this to you. I...
This... I can't clearly explain it.
Zhou Mo.
Can I look at Yu Huai's notebook for a while?
Look. This one.
[Yu Huai]
This one.
That one on the side, was it our high school English textbook?
[Yu Huai]
You mean this?
He always had this with him.
But he still left it behind.
I know that you're upset,
but I still have to tell you that Yu Huai can't go back anymore.
- What are you saying? What the hell are you saying? - What did I do wrong?
Are you a friend? Zhou Mo? Huh?
- Is this how it is to be a friend? - How am I not a friend?
- This is how it is to be a friend? Yu Huai is your friend. - How am I not a friend?
Sister, why are you still not back?
I want to pee! I can't hold it anymore!
What are you laughing at?
This looks good.
Then go get injured a couple of times more.
Slowly. Slow down.
Lin Fan!
Miss, are you all right?
