[My Huckleberry Friends]
Yo, you're here, Old Xie.
Opening your stall this late?
I went to Beijing to fetch a friend yesterday. She just got back to the country.
Girlfriend?
I won't be able to fetch them all. If I have to fetch everyone, I reckon that I would be busy until next year.
Cut the crap. I've been eating your skewers for 5 to 6 years, right?
Don't talk about any women appearing in your shop. There aren't even any female dogs in the periphery of your shop.
Oh, not right.
The lady owner of the dumplings shop next door seems to have a crush on you. She keeps sending you dumplings to eat in the middle of night.
Get lost.
But look at you, you aren't even minding her. Are you...
Are what?
I am very open about such things. For me, there is equality in love.
Have you watched the movie "Ghost?"
What's that?
Hurry and eat. Clean up after you've eaten. I'm going to sleep.
Hey, you just set up your shop.
I'm not in the mood. I suddenly don't want to do any business today.
Hey! Hey!
Club Leader, just try to think of an idea again.
That's right. We have the smallest club in Zhen Hua.
Trying to survive within a narrow crevice is so hard.
My members are so stupid. I really am unable to lead you guys.
You guys are from Zhen Hua?
Anime Club?
What about it?
There is still an anime club in Zhen Hua?
Uncle, we told you to grill us some food. You said that you want to sleep.
Now that we are just sitting here and chatting, you keep interfering. Let's go.
Hey, wait! Say it. What do you want to eat?
I want "hard currency," grilled chicken wings.
Eating grilled chicken wings in this early morning. How do I address you?
Let me make the grand introduction.
We are from Zhen Hua's most famous school club, The Anime Club.
This is our pioneer club leader, Chen Xiaoxiao. Please give your applause.
It's really birds of the same feather flock together. People from the anime club are so full of bullshit. Pioneer?!
That's right. No former one, no succeeding one.
Totally not true. There was an anime club 10 years ago.
Impossible. I've asked around. This club started with us.
It's your choice if you believe it or not.
- Were you from Zhen Hua, too?- No.
How then did you know that there was an anime club 10 years ago? Who told you? Who was the club leader?
Why do you have so many questions? Quickly eat these later. I will be going back to sleep after you guys eat.
Hey, you... Why are you so irresponsible in your speech? How could you gainsay someone so casually?
Do you know how much I have given up for the anime club? Do you know how hard it is to create a club?
I don't know. I only know that you surely are not the first one, little sister.
We're not eating. Let's go.
Hey! Hey! You still haven't paid.
Hurry and move those things. Move them inside. Hurry and move faster.
Clean that part with the two 'zheng' words well.
Look, the color is not right. Put in some strength. Hurry.
Hey!
- Boss.- Boss!
Long time no see, bros.
This place is not bad.
Boss, look. The painting that I just hung today.
We will then put the deity of fortune under it. Totally perfect.
You two are doing really great. Way better than me.
Boss, we've thought about it. Once you're back, we three will manage this hotel well.
And then, we'll open some branches. By then, we indeed will have a business empire.
I don't have much savings. I almost used them up a few years ago.
Don't worry. We've arranged everything for you. It's enough that you come back.
What can I do?
Just the fact that it's you, Murong Chengzhang, is there anything that you can't do?
Those are in the past.
Brother, I feel that...
Okay already. You two just go back to your work. I'm going now.
Respected Elder!
Who is "respected elder?" Don't call me that again.
Uncle, this is the skewer money that I owed you yesterday.
I have no change for you. Why don't you just order some skewers to eat?
Uncle, help me with something then.
I'm returning the money to you. Hurry and leave.
I haven't said it.
I don't want to listen. Leave. Leave.
Uncle, then tell me. Who was the first ever club leader of Zhen Hua's anime club?
My friend.
You surely know a lot of the anime club's story, right? Tell them to me. Broaden my knowledge.
Our anime club's survival is now in your hands.
What survival? If it's gone, then it's gone. What's the big deal?
Of course, that can't happen! I put in all my efforts in this.
Moreover, there are still two very loyal members following me.
As the club leader, I must be responsible for them.
The annual cultural festival will be happening soon. Our club prepared a skit.
But Xiao Pan said that it has no nutritional value and directly rejected it.
If I am still unable to show him any decent presentation, our club will then get replaced.
What is your presentation's title?
Pig Hero and Bear's intimate contact.
It's gotten worse from batch to batch.
What did you say?
I said that you should put up something with more cultural content.
Let Supervisor Pan see that your anime club program also has some learning purpose.
You even know Principal Pan?
Uncle, please, show me a way to survive.
The person who established the anime club in Zhenhua ten years ago must be a great saint!
Ten years ago, their anime club also faced the same problem.
Then... how did they resolve it?
They performed a historical play, cosplaying as some historical characters. Borrowing something famous to insert some personal agenda.
- A great saint indeed is wise! How come I never thought of that? Uncle, I'm going now.- Hey!
Other ladies will usually cry when watching this film. But you, you keep eating.
I also cried.
It wasn't easy for me to find this theater. Only they still play old films. Can you focus a little?
Why did you suddenly want to watch this?
They all said that this film was very touching.
Really? Just fine.
So, you like reading manga comics.
Just bored.
Why are you so bored today? Where is the little lady?
Never thought that you were quite good at attracting girls.
Don't anyhow say such things. She's a high school student.
I'm not open for today. There's nothing to eat.
I have one question that I've always wanted to ask you.
Say, we've known each other for a long time. How come I've never seen you smile?
Every time I mention about your girlfriend, you won't say anything and just directly go up to sleep.
Did you suffer any trauma before?
She's dead.
Congenital heart condition, she wasn't able to live past eighteen years old.
After she died, I went to a lot of places.
I went to look at the scenery that she wanted to see, ate the food that she wanted to eat.
But all were meaningless.
The person has left.
You still have to live for yourself. Am I right?
Hurry and eat. Once you're done, I'll walk you home.
Also, stop coming here next time.
If you keep coming here every day, will you have time to study?
No. This is my extracurricular time. It won't affect my studies.
That's right, too. You don't look like someone with good grades. Studying or not might not make much difference.
You should just study well and do good in your exams.
So that your parents will not worry. Stop doing these useless things.
Hurry and eat. I'll take you home once you're done.
This is not some useless thing.
If Senior Mi Qiao had heard what you said, she would definitely be upset.
The you that she likes, is not how you are right now.
All right, Uncle. I am going home. I will come find you again next time.
What are you guys doing?
What are you looking at?
- Here! Film here. - What are you guys doing?
You guys are working so hard. Xin Rui! Smile at the camera!
Pretty!
Have you ever thought what you would be doing in ten years?
Jiang Chuan!
How about I give you a scoop?
- Hello? - Hello, Ben Ben.
Zhouzhou.
What's wrong?
It's nothing. I just felt like calling you.
Are you okay?
I am fine. I am really okay.
The store has been quite busy lately. When it doesn't get as busy, I will go find you in Beijing.
Sure! When you are here, just call me.
Ben Ben, I am especially happy today.
Thank you.
Being able to get to know you and Zhouzhou was the happiest thing in my entire life.
What am I saying? Let me restart!
Ben Ben, after I am done with my surgery,
let's go to Qinghai! I heard there is a salt water lake.
And it's just like a mirror. After raining,
a rainbow ring will form. And it's really pretty.
Really. Let's go, shall we?
If...
If, I am saying if.
If my surgery fails, don't get too upset.
I will just go there first to see my mom.
And then I will check out the different roads.
I will just be one step ahead, get some land, buy a house and pay off my mortgage.
And after many years, when you guys come, all of you will have to rent from me.
And I can bring you guys to places.
You know that I am a person filled with curiosity.
So, if I am not there anymore, you must still live a good life.
Go see all the places that I was unable to see,
eat all the tasty food that I was unable to eat.
Then I won't have any regrets.
Ben Ben, do you know?
Ever since I met you,
I have gotten more reluctant about leaving this world.
I started to become more greedy.
And I would always wish that I could live for another day,
and another day. One day after another.
Sometimes, I would think if I never met you,
maybe I would have a more carefree and unrestrained life.
But I don't regret it. Not at all.

Hello? I am in front of your hotel entrance. Hurry, come out and meet me!
Cut the crap. Coming back to the world?
If I don't, I am worried that your hotel will shut down within a month.
You even placed the statue of God of Wealth? If you have to, you should place the Statue of Guan Yu.
Boss. Let's go.
Isn't it just a meal? We can just make a reservation.
Why do we have to check the place out in advance?
This is the last meal before we go to Australia. It has special meaning.
Saisai, is it really just because of that?
Chen An, there is something that I didn't discuss with you in advance.
The dinner tomorrow, I asked for your father to join.
He is your father after all. You two should make up.
Why didn't you tell me beforehand?
Since he can't go to Melbourne to go to our wedding,
then I should go see him before the wedding.
I hope to get his blessing.
It has been a long time since I last saw him.
I heard his situation isn't that good,
and that he moved. That woman also left.
I don't even have his phone number. How were you able to find him?
I found your underclassman, Zhouzhou.
I had her help me contact him.
Is my father going to come?
At least you will be there, right?
To be honest, I have been wanting to see him, many times.
I just don't know what to say after meeting him.
That's why I booked the restaurant on the top floor.
The restaurant closes at 9:00, I made a reservation at 8:30.
If you really have nothing to say, we can just watch the view together.
So on the day of graduation, you were supposed to meet with your father?
Yes. That was the only time I contacted him.
I asked him to come to my graduation. I wanted to make up with him.
But after I contacted him, I regretted my decision.
After feeling regretful, I had a stronger urge to contact him.
In the end, I just obsessively wanted to know whether he would come.
I wanted to know if he still thought of me as his son.
It seems like Zhouzhou is right about you, you are very self-contradictory.
But you didn't actually wait for him that day, right?
After the graduation, we went to a bar together.
At that time, I was too afraid to wait for him.
I was scared that he wouldn't come.
I was scared that he wouldn't forgive me.
That's why in the end, I just waited at the airport for thirty minutes before I left.
Perhaps the flight was delayed. Maybe he did go.
That's how I console myself. Flights can be delayed,
but if a person still lives in the heart of that person,
he would never be late.
It's 9 p.m. soon.
More than ten years have passed, I can't even recall his voice clearly anymore.
The only thing I remember is when he calls me Chen An.
When I was little, he taught me how to play Contra.
He would say, "Chen An! Hurry and shoot!"
"Chen An! Hurry and lie down!" "Chen An! Hurry and jump!"
He said Contra is like father and son, when they work together and fight against others.
I didn't expect that one day, even Contra would stop talking to each other.
Excuse me. Check please.
I am sorry. Our elevators are currently being repaired.
They will work in five minutes. Please just wait for five minutes;
or else, you can only take the stairs.
All right. The last five minutes.
I am sorry to have delayed your precious time.
You must be disappointed that he didn't come.
In a way, this is good, too; or else, I would always be living in my imaginations.
I heard from Zhouzhou that your dad fell once and hurt his leg. His injury was quite serious.
I plan to get him a better cane from Australia.
Why didn't Zhouzhou tell me?
I asked her about it. She said, she is worried that after knowing, you wouldn't care.
She is afraid to see your cool and stoic face.
That's so like Yu Zhouzhou. She's just like that.
I'll go pick out the cane personally.
What's wrong?
How long has the elevator been under repair?
It's been about forty minutes.
Can you enter these stairs?
Yes, sir.
Timing and subtitles by The Very Berry Team 🌸@Viki
Oh, thank you.
No worries.
I'm so tired.
I said not to be in a rush.
You'll be going to Australia tomorrow. If you hadn't come to Beijing for a stopover, then I wouldn't have been able to see you.
It's not as though I'm not coming back.
You're going to get married with the girlfriend you mentioned last time, right?
Even you are starting to care about matters like these?
You never had a girlfriend, yet you've been with her for two years now.
Also, you're also at this age now. Of course, it's natural to think that you'll be getting married.
I never had a girlfriend before? Have you been investigating me?
Your classmates in college were our year's tutors.
I asked them about you, so it's not illegal.
Not illegal.
It's natural to break up.
Actually, I just feel that when you're in love, your heart doesn't feel empty.
But when time passes and that passion has faded, the heart feels more empty.
I already said that I am an ordinary person. Don't look at me with that expression as though a god has fallen.
This isn't something. I was always like this.
You know, we broke up because
I found out that the both of us had some things in our heart that couldn't be touched.
- She had hers, and I had mine. - Yes.
You were always like that.
But this time I really am getting married.
Congratulations and thank you.
During all these years that I grew up, I always had a Chen An.
Congratulations for being so lucky.
[Golden Chicken Feather Award for Best Director: Stephen Ye]
Lin Yang was going to pick you up?
Senior!
If you ever have something come up, let me know.
You too.
Remember to say hello to Sister Saisai for me. We'll be going now.
- Okay. - Bye.
Bye!
Hey, why didn't you tell me you were going to meet up with Senior Chen An?
I told you. I told you that day when we were eating.
Really? How come when you go meet a person that you like...
Oh, wrong, someone that you liked before,
I won't be that phlegmatic.
Actually, I wouldn't say that I liked him.
It should be more of an infatuation for an idol.
I feel like he's some sort of god.
But now I think that he's just like one of us, an ordinary person.
We are all ordinary people, but maybe just a bit more special.
That day a student from Zhen Hua called me,
saying she wanted to record an interview of the Zhen Hua alumni.
Then, why don't I pretend to be a journalist who's going to interview you and rehearse for a bit?
Our channel is very happy to have invited
an outstanding alumna, Yu Zhouzhou. Student Yu Zhouzhou, how would you describe your high school self?
I think that in high school,
I was a pretty timid person.
I was afraid to face my mother's death. I was afraid to face my father.
I was also afraid to face this guy called Lin Yang.
So I could only choose to escape.
Good thing, he kept enlightening me and made me able to walk out of it.
Even though he was pretty annoying, I still have to thank him.
Okay, let's go to the second question. What do you feel about Lin Yang?
Say, can you not put in your personal agenda? You keep asking questions regarding yourself.
Can't you be more serious? We're doing an interview here.
Just for our long years of schoolmate relationship
and to show some sense of responsibility towards Zhen Hua, answer the question honestly.
It's a Zhen Hua interview. What does that have to do with you?
Here, here, here. Look at the camera. The camera's right here.
I've actually known him for more than twenty years. I don't know what relationship we're in.
What do you mean by that?
I'm not done yet.
Until last year, when malaria broke out in Africa,
I was detained there at that time. I was very afraid.
I was afraid that I didn't say goodbye to him yet.
Okay, because of time restrains, our interview with Ms. Yu Zhouzhou will end here.
Next we will interview the man behind Ms. Yu Zhouzhou, Lin Yang.
Mr. Lin Yang, may I ask what feelings do you have?
I think there is a saying that goes very well.
"People say that dating is like flying a kite." Yu Zhouzhou said that she'll be going to Africa to feed the lions.
So, of course, I'll respect her decision as long as she still remembers me and my presence.
Wow! Congratulations! Totally being able to wait until the clouds dissipated and the bright moon appeared.
Okay, our interview will end here. Thank you.
Let's go! That interview didn't count at all.
My god, why am I a bit nervous?
Right, what if Ling Xiangqian runs away?
Sheesh, can't you say some good things?
So I said to hurry. Go get the marriage certificate today.
No. My mother already calculated it. It shouldn't just be some normal auspicious day, it must be a grand auspicious day.
Is it the time to choose a date now?
Hurry and make use of the time. Don't allow her to have the opportunity to regret.
Why are you implying I'm trying to trick her into marriage?
We both love each other and are willingly marrying each other. You think I'm like you?
What's wrong with me?
You and Yu Zhouzhou are so slow, dawdling here and there for so many years now.
So I say, hurry and make use of the time. Don't allow her to have the opportunity to regret. Okay?
Oh, Ling Xiangqian wanted me to try them on with her, so I did.
Lin Yang, do you think this one looks good on Zhouzhou?
I still think that my bride is beautiful.
Zhouzhou, are you willing...
Never mind, I won't say.
What did you want to say?
- Oh, I just wanted to say that you look extremely pretty today. - Oh.
So, Senior, you even went to Africa?
What's to be envious about?
When I went there, I almost wasn't able to come back.
So great. No wonder Principal Pan kept praising you.
You are a legend of Zhen Hua.
- Principal Pan?- Yes.
For this year's cultural festival, he instructed me to film this interview of our senior alumni.
We will play this on the big screen during the cultural festival in front of the whole school.
Who else?
Geng Geng, Yu Huai, Sheng Huainan, Luo Zhi, Chu Tiankuo, Jiang Chuan,
I basically have gone to see those that I can find.
Just that Senior Mi Qiao, she...
But legends about her are still spreading around.
- Can I see it?- Of course.
Why did I choose Zhen Hua?
Actually, I did it for my two childhood friends.
That time, it was simpler and purer.
Also, you can do whatever you want.
You can say that it was a bit happier.
I have a boyfriend.
When you were in high school, did you have someone you really liked, but he didn't sincerely like you?
It seems that it was better when we were younger.
I feel that now is always more important than the past.
I am very thankful for those days in Zhen Hua.
If I am able to return to being 17,
I am going to thank a girl.
This girl let me know that I could do it.
What's wrong?
You didn't secretly listen to my interview by the door earlier, right?
Of course, I didn't. Wasn't it a one-on-one interview?
That family members were not allowed?
You are also not allowed to peek at mine tomorrow.
I won't.
I also won't.
So, you really didn't hear what I said?
You don't believe me?
I already said that when I arrived, you two had finished.
Hey, did you and that Chen Xiaoxiao keep discussing about grand plans for the future of the anime club while in there?
Why?
Did you say some words that I must not hear?
Feeling guilty?
No.
Yu Zhouzhou, you are dishonest.
Your eyes are flickering.
What really did you say?
I didn't say anything.
Let me guess.
Did you say that in your life, there was a sun that kept shining on you?
Without it, you would not have become the you now.
Isn't comparing me to a sun a little bit too...
I admit that I indeed emit light and heat.
My looks and intelligence are also a bit superior.
Lin Yang, what did you want to tell me that day when I tried on the wedding gown?
Huh?
I am willing.
Lin Yang, I'm willing.

Holding my lover's hands, growing old with him.
At the moment, we were only able to do the first part.
An emperor can face a coup.
The Fourth Imperial Consort can be sent to the cold palace.
But it doesn't matter.
Even if we are being chased by tens of thousands of army,
your Fourth Imperial Consort still held your hand,
and ran with you without any hesitation.
There are still so many years before we grow very old.
And within these many years, there will be a lot of changes, a lot of happiness, a lot of sadness.
Regarding the words "growing old with him,"
one day, it will get fulfilled.
