- It's Ms. Mei-zhen. - Boss?
Hello, boss?
Yes, everything's under control.
When we get back, I will explain everything in person.
Yes. All right.
Right away.
I'm sorry I got you in trouble.
I'll go back and apologize to Ms. Mei-zhen.
Xiao-tong, don't worry. Xin-xin and I will take care of the boss.
You should be careful.
When you see Jia-wei Ji later, don't be too kind to him.
When you see the producer, don't let him yell at you.
You hear me?
All right, we should go.
Let me know when you get home. Bye.
What about last year on this day?
Where were you?
How can you just show up like nothing happened?
Happiness is within reach.
Yet I can't return to him.
The moment the accident happened,
the thought of that hurt more than the wounds on my body.
Even if my rushed proposal made you want to run,
couldn't you even give me a chance to say goodbye?
Maybe he'd wait for me.
Maybe he'd accept me like that.
But when the call picked up,
I couldn't utter a word.
We should get on with our separate lives.
I couldn't see an end to the pain.
I was afraid to get in touch with him.
I was afraid he'd take pity on me.
I was terrified I'd be like that for the rest of my life.
Please.
My life right now would be better
if I heard less from you.
It took me a lot of effort to come back to you.
Maybe that accident taught me that lesson.
Jia-wei Ji, did something happen to you?
Why aren't you answering your phone?
Mr. Liu, I'm really sorry about today.
I'm sorry.
Listen to me, in the radio business, every second is critical to us.
No matter how many times you apologize, it's useless to me.
Mr. Liu, please let me explain.
You can waste your time but don't waste my time.
Mr. Liu!
You only got on the show by pulling strings, although thankfully,
I never expected much from you anyway.
You're not going to deal with this?
Mister, I didn't see you. I'm sorry.
I can let you apologize.
However, before that, you should give her a chance to apologize.
Ms. Guan,
you may look like a gullible and naive person,
but in fact, you let others pull strings for you and help you.
- Is this your boyfriend? - No.
Boyfriend, isn't it a little late for you to show up now?
He's not my boyfriend. He's just my--
You have two options now.
You can choose to hear what she has to say.
Or you can come with me to the police station
and deal with the accident.
You're mad!
You--
Mr. Liu, about what happened today, I'm really sorry for ruining your show.
Is there a way I can make it up to you?
In this line of business,
this isn't the first time that's happened to me.
Ms. Guan, don't worry about that.
Although it's because of you that this happened,
it's not your responsibility.
Since you've had plenty of experiences with something like this,
then you should be more understanding.
She's the one who got stood up.
I'll think of it as having a bad day.
I can't control who comes on the show.
It's just bad luck.
All right?
- I'm really sorry. - It's fine.
Mister, please let me leave.
Wait for me here.
It's so late!
My phone is dead too!
Xiao-tong Guan, I'm sorry.
Xiao-tong.
Thanks for helping me out earlier.
What are you doing here?
That's not important. What matters is, are you all right?
I'm fine. I should get going.
Sir, what can I do for you?
I'm sorry, my girlfriend is the guest on today's radio show.
- I'm here to see her. - Today's show is over.
- There's no one upstairs now. - No way. Let me go look.
Really, everyone's gone.
Thanks.
Hello, Shao-qiang?
Do you know where Jia-wei Ji is right now?
It's all right. Thanks.
Xi-men? This is Xiao-tong Guan. Do you know where Jia-wei...?
All right. Bye-bye.
Hello, Yaoyao?
I asked someone to bring you the notes to the hospital today.
Did you see him?
MURPHY'S LAW NUMBER NINE: WHEN YOU WANT TO FIND SOMEONE
YOU CAN'T FIND HIM NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY
Something must have happened to you. If you want to talk about it,
I'm willing to listen.
If you don't want to talk,
that's fine too.
If you need me around,
I'll be there.
But before you make a decision, can you do me a favor?
Don't ever disappear on me again.
You've reached the voicemail box. Please leave a message after the tone.
Or you can hang up right now.
Jia-wei Ji, you asked me not to disappear on you.
Where are you now?
I'm sorry.
You can't even walk straight. Where do you want to go?
Are you going to walk home?
Something must have happened to Jia-wei Ji.
I must find him.
This is the route between the radio station and my house.
If he takes this street, he's bound to run into me.
It's so late now. I'm worried that he can't find me.
If he wants to find you, I'm sure he will.
If he's responsible enough, he wouldn't have stood you up on air.
Give me your hand.
Now, don't worry about the time.
You should pause and think about yourself for once.
Don't worry about others all the time.
Concentrate when you need to walk. Let go and be sad if you're upset.
Xiao-tong Guan,
you're not home yet?
It seems that unfortunately, today's mission is a bust.
We are still unable to get in touch with her boyfriend.
I'll be back later.
Boss, two internationally-renowned chefs will be here.
Aren't you going to--?
If you didn't know this was the last bus for the day,
doesn't it seem like I rented the whole bus to take you home?
I'm really sorry for letting you take the bus with me.
It's fine. I'd wanted to ask someone to space out with me anyway.
It just so happens I ran into you.
Xiao-tong, have you noticed this bus route circles around Taipei 101?
In college, the bus I took was the same.
Every time I took the bus, I would think,
my daily life seemed to be going from one end of Taipei 101
to the other end.
This landmark seemed to give us direction in life.
However, after a while, I realized,
I seemed to be circling around the same place every day.
That meant I'd missed out on the opportunity
to discover other beautiful places.
Don't you think your life right now is circling around one person?
It's your choice, I know.
But while you circle around someone,
don't forget to turn around and look at yourself, all right?
The Xiao-tong Guan I know
is like the girl in the photo, "First."
Confident. Optimistic.
When she smiles, she seems happy.
Remember. Don't call again.
If he cares about you, he will find you.
Time starts again. Back to reality.
I'm feeling a little better now. Don't worry.
Jia-wei Ji?
Go on.
Xiao-tong Guan.
I'm sorry.
It's fine.
I'm here.
The patient in the file.
The one with PTSD.
That's Zhi-yu.
I'm sorry.
Things happened too fast tonight.
I went to vent out my frustration.
And I forgot what I promised you.
I'm sorry that I affected your work.
The thing is...
I really wish...
I'd never found out the truth.
I'd rather
that she really left me a year ago.
The fact that your feelings are so complicated tonight,
that means you cannot pretend this thing never happened.
I never wanted to hurt anybody, ever.
Even though it's over for me and her,
I don't know why in hindsight,
everything I've done since she came back
seems so wrong.
Including today.
To you, as well.
You...
Are you really all right?
Yes.
I'm fine.
Can you walk me home?
You know, I've counted.
It takes 238 steps to walk from here to my house.
But when I'm happy, I walk faster. My stride is bigger too.
So it only takes 186 steps.
But when I'm upset, it takes 292 steps.
Because my legs get heavier.
My feet seem to drag behind me.
Why would you count the steps?
Because no matter how I feel, I will still get home.
Then I tell myself,
I can only be upset or feel a loss for the time it takes for me to walk home.
After this walk,
I should make up my mind and get myself together.
I don't know how long you have to be upset or feel at a loss.
But believe me, these feelings will pass.
I may not be able to help with your problems right now,
but no matter how many steps it will take,
we can walk side by side,
one step at a time and reach the end together.
One, two, three.
Come on, count with me.
Four, five...
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
11, 12...
13, 14, 15, 16, 17...
Eighteen.
Voicemail?
Jia-wei Ji, you asked me not to disappear on you.
Where are you now?
What am I doing?
It's fine.
I'm here.
Sometimes, when something seems like a bad thing,
it will turn out to be a good thing in the end, right?
Polo. Polo.
How come you don't recognize me either?
Polo.
You probably know
how this divorce firm came into being, right?
I don't, actually.
I only know, while I was gone, you seem to have changed a lot.
I don't know how many divorced couples I've dealt with in this place.
In the end, whether they can end on good terms or not,
they still get a divorce agreement that's signed by both parties.
It's really not that hard to bid farewell.
However, the two of us
never really talked things through.
You asked to see me here today. Why?
I want to ask you again.
A year ago, after we hung up the phone that night,
where did you go?
I remember something though.
The night I planned to propose,
as I left the restaurant,
I saw a car accident.
If I wasn't so lost in thought because you hadn't shown up,
perhaps I would've turned around and realized the person
lying on the gurney was you.
- You found out? - Why would you keep it from me?
You turned me into an idiot,
trying to think of all the possibilities why you would disappear.
I didn't even know if I could make it through the recovery.
I couldn't even face myself. How could I face you?
Anyway, I had no confidence to see you again
before I returned to the way I was.
You're still the same,
always making decisions on your own.
You knew my worst nightmare is people leaving me without saying goodbye.
Yet you chose to leave the same way.
I'm sorry.
I thought you'd wait for me, no matter what.
Why?
Why would you think I would keep waiting for you
if I didn't know anything?
When we were together,
you'd always been the person who's willing to wait for me.
I thought a year wasn't that long.
You sure have faith in me.
If I didn't trust you, we wouldn't have been together for four years.
It's you who made me see the happiness that comes with trust.
It's also you who made me the way I am.
I'm sorry.
I wasn't by your side when you were suffering.
I'm sure you're also sad.
The two of us
missed each other like that.
However, despite all the regrets, we must tell ourselves
it's all in the past.
Right now, what matters the most is that you continue with the therapy.
It's not good for any of us if you refuse treatment.
As for your physical condition...
is there anything I can do to help?
No wonder...
you have the patience to say so much to me.
I thought you truly cared about me.
It turns out,
you just want to make yourself feel better.
I'm sorry for the things I did that hurt you when I didn't know the truth.
But now,
I just want to know what you need.
You know full well what it is that I want.
When I went back to see you,
what I want has always been the same.
But now,
since you can't give me that anymore, it's pointless to talk about it.
Today, we end on good terms.
Don't worry. I will take care of myself.
As for what I owe you, I will repay you in my own way.
What are you doing here?
You told Jia-wei, didn't you?
He contacted you?
Isn't this what you've always wanted?
It's only fair to him to let him know the truth.
You're just my cosmetic surgeon.
You shouldn't interfere in my relationship.
Kevin Du, don't forget who made me the way I am today.
Zhi-yu!
"Shopping Begins After The Shop Closes",
the healing project for divorced clients has generated a lot of positive feedback.
Especially when the project coincides with department stores' mid-year sales.
I just looked it up.
There are more people who signed up than available spots.
So I was thinking, maybe it's best
to hash out the event details ahead of time.
Boss, we're waiting for you to make a decision.
