Once I've held this hand, I don't plan on ever letting go.
Come on.
What?
Xiao-tong, look.
- What is it? - Xiao-tong, look.
LONG TIME NO SEE
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH SEX SYMBOL ZHI-YU HE
It's her.
Her? That's Zhi-Yu He. What about her?
Xi-men told me she's Jia-wei Ji's ex-girlfriend.
What? Seriously?
You all know who she is?
Xiao-tong Guan, you don't know who Zhi-yu He is?
She's a model.
She's a sex symbol. Goddess of female intimate wear.
She disappeared for a year out of the blue.
I only found out from the article she studied in the U.S. for a year.
So now she's back?
Yes, she said she's going to restart her career in Taiwan.
Xiao-tong, are you all right?
I understand, you must be really stressed out now.
Wait, I have a nosebleed.
You shouldn't worry.
Although Zhi-yu He is hot, super hot, extremely hot,
if she tried to sabotage you and Jia-wei Ji,
I'd still rip her a new one.
Why would she sabotage us?
Don't you know?
The scariest beings in this world are ex-girlfriends and ex-wives.
Even if they do nothing,
they're a threat just existing in the world.
But that's not my biggest concern right now.
Given how fast he responds to the messages,
he hasn't gotten over her, and he's hurt deeply by her.
They broke up on bad terms.
Now Zhi-yu He has suddenly returned,
Jia-wei Ji must feel awful right now.
He was deeply hurt by their breakup.
Right now, I'm most worried about Jia-wei Ji's feelings.
Xiao-tong, how can you worry about Jia-wei Ji right now?
Can't you be more concerned about yourself?
I don't get it.
How can a fool like you who prioritizes others over herself,
exist in this world?
That's right.
I recommend keeping the traveling time for this singles mixer event
under two hours.
Distance is really a problem.
Last time, some people complained they didn't feel well.
Also, after the security incident in which someone was attacked,
Ms. Xiao-tong Guan, the screening process should be enhanced.
You can do more interviews or visit applicants at their workplace.
Anyway, write a SOP for me.
No problem. In fact, it's already done.
It's on the second to last page in the proposal.
Mr. Ji, did you miss it?
You can't be the only person in charge.
We're working together now.
If you need more help,
you can raise the issue with us.
That's right, Xiao-tong.
Last time we were short-handed for location scouting,
our boss jumped in to help for the first time ever.
Our boss is so nice to the employees.
Especially to...
the future Mrs. Ji.
What are you talking about?
I'm warning you guys. From now on,
I don't want to hear anyone taunting her.
- Get it? - Yes.
That was fast.
Wow.
- An-ting, send us the minutes later. - Yes, sir.
Meeting adjourned.
LONG TIME NO SEE
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH SEX SYMBOL ZHI-YU HE
Our next singles mixer event
will be even more popular this time.
You've been in meetings all day. You must be tired?
I take this regularly every day. I'm not tired at all.
By the way, you're not working overtime tonight, are you?
No.
But I made plans with Xin-xin.
What? You want to see me?
Of course I want to see you.
I told you,
all of my time outside of work is yours.
Therefore, you should reserve all of your time outside of work
for me as well. It's only fair that way.
It's decided then.
Anyway, come to my place tonight.
Your place?
Jia-wei Ji.
Where is he?
May 15th?
That's today.
What's the special occasion today?
Xiao-tong, can you check the meeting minutes for me?
- Sure. - Thanks.
This is what we talked about.
Thank you, everyone.
See you later.
We can go now, mister.
Amy,
is there anything in this world
that will never change?
Although this city in front of me is still called Taipei,
it doesn't seem like the Taipei that I left behind.
It's only been a short time.
How come everything's changed?
Ms. Zhi-yu, I understand how you feel.
Restarting your career, you're bound to encounter difficulties.
As long as you work hard,
I'm sure your popularity will rebound.
If you give up now, it will truly be over.
I won't let it end without a fight.
Ms. Zhi-yu, I'll help you, too.
Polo, it's time for a bath.
- Hello, Polo. - Thank you.
- No problem. - We'll pick him up later.
Polo!
I thought you said you were busy? That's why you wanted me to help you?
What are you doing here?
You are helping me. Didn't you walk him over here?
What?
It's because Polo is very insecure.
If I'm not around, he'd be anxious.
- Insecure? - That's right.
When Mr. Ji first found Polo, he was scared of strangers.
He was sad to have him sent to the shelter,
so he adopted Polo.
Polo, let's go take a bath.
Why are you staring at me?
It's common sense to adopt instead of buying animals.
That's true.
Anyway, you're a durian.
What do you mean?
Spiky exterior but soft on the inside.
Why durian?
Don't you have better analogies?
You know why I took this route today?
How should I know? Nothing you do is ever logical.
You wanted to get to know me more, right?
I remember when I was a kid,
this bench was my favorite place.
Every day, I'd look forward to my mother picking me up from school.
Because she'd only buy me ice cream
when my dad wasn't around.
We'd always sit on this bench.
We'd eat ice cream
while she listened to me talk about school.
This place was like a secret base for us.
This is your favorite flavor of ice cream.
- Right? - Yes.
I remember.
- Don't tell Daddy, though. - I won't.
But one day,
I waited for a long time after school,
and she never came.
So I had to walk home by myself.
When I got home,
I saw her trying to lift a heavy suitcase.
She seemed to be having a hard time.
I immediately went to help her.
She even looked back and smiled at me before getting in the car.
That's the last time I ever saw her.
I kept thinking back to that day.
If I could tell she was leaving--
If I didn't help her load her suitcase--
If I'd cried and begged her to stay--
Maybe she wouldn't have left?
I naively thought
maybe I'd done something that made her happy.
I only understood
after I grew up, that smile
was her thanking me for seeing her off.
Saying goodbye
isn't difficult at all.
But for some unknown reason,
those important to me
all disappeared without saying goodbye.
How long has it been since you last had ice cream?
Let's go.
Here you go.
The person who ate ice cream with you left.
Now I'll eat ice cream with you.
Before, seeing ice cream
may have brought back sad memories for you.
But from now on,
let's make eating ice cream
something that makes you happy, all right?
Xiao-tong Guan,
I underestimated your professional expertise as Dr. Love.
It has nothing to do with my profession.
I just want you to be happy.
It's a promise.
I will always keep you company
for ice cream and sitting on benches.
Come on. The ice cream is melting.
Hey.
Do you know why people get in relationships?
Because you spend the same amount of money,
but you get one more flavor.
What are you doing?
You're so childish!
You think this is funny?
Well, then-- You can have a bite.
- What are you doing? - It's all your fault that it got on me.
You're so dumb.
Wipe it off yourself.
Jerk!
Why are you eating mine?
You're so annoying!
- Go on. - You--
Eat your ice cream.
I'll go wash my shirt.
Don't move.
All done.
Um--
Are you going home after your shirt is dry?
Your shirt is dry.
Um, the shirt is dry,
but it's better to iron it.
Let's iron it.
Is your iron broken? You've been at it for 30 minutes.
What do you know?
This is called slow and steady does the job.
Is it done?
What now?
I'm so hungry all of a sudden.
Why am I so hungry? I'm starving.
Hungry.
Are you good?
Cooking isn't hard at all.
Listen,
if you want to learn how to cook, you can only learn from me.
Okay?
Fine.
Go get the apron for me.
Turn around, I'll tie it.
How can I tie it if you don't turn around?
You want me to tie it myself?
By the time I'm done, the boiling water will be gone.
All done.
You cheated.
Thank you.
For keeping me company.
Let me turn it off.
Thanks.
I should go home.
I'll give you a ride.
That's all right.
Don't you have to go pick up Polo?
See you.
On this day, every year,
do you really need someone to keep you company?
I'm sorry.
It's really getting too late, so I must go home.
Thank you for being willing to tell me your story.
Don't worry.
From now on, on this day, you will never be alone again.
She left her phone?
Is this a hint or something?
Jia-wei.
What are you doing here?
I know someone must be with you on this day.
So I came over.
This is no longer your concern.
I know you're still mad at me.
But today is the day your mom left,
so I had to come see you no matter what.
What about last year on this day?
Where were you?
If I could, I'd never choose to be absent.
How can you just show up like nothing happened?
I know it was hard for you when I left a year ago.
But we were together for four years.
Isn't it a shame to give it up so easily?
Between the two of us...
you were the one to let go first.
Jia-wei.
Xiao-tong!
Xiao-tong Guan!
Mister, I--
What are you doing?
To Zhongyang Road, thanks.
What are you doing?
Why did you run away?
You forgot your cell phone.
I thought you were busy, I shouldn't interrupt you.
I didn't know how--
Do you know what you're saying?
So she's back?
But I don't know why she showed up today.
You were together for four years after all.
Maybe she had things to say to you.
Is it all right that you just left like that?
Are you okay?
Lift your arms.
Be careful.
Please,
don't always put others before yourself, all right?
Look at you.
It's only normal and reasonable that you see each other.
I didn't read too much into it. It's just--
It caught me off guard.
I didn't know how to react.
I was shocked, too.
Don't explain anymore. You've been busy all day.
Let's just take you home.
Polo.
I think I already explained myself to her.
She won't read too much into it, will she?
You were together for four years after all.
Maybe she had things to say to you.
It's only normal and reasonable that you see each other.
I didn't read too much into it.
Four years?
How did she... know?
Dear Wayne,
a person you no longer love
cannot affect you anymore.
So I think you're still in love with her.
Are you sure? It's been a year since we broke up.
I can't be in love with her.
I've almost forgotten her cell number.
You just recited her number in your mind, didn't you?
Says who?
I completely forgot it.
How long were you together?
Four years.
You brought up her phone number for a reason.
Is it because you often want to call her
but you're afraid to?
If you can't face the fact that you still love her,
it's hard for me to help you find the courage to love again.
What was I thinking?
Why did I tell her all that?
I'm totally sabotaging myself. Jeez!
Polo.
Why didn't you stop me?
No, I must fix it somehow.
What are you doing?
Are you asleep?
At least read it, even if you won't reply.
Dr. Love, it's been a long time.
I forgot to update you on my situation.
