Fine.
Go ahead and try.
But promise me you won't push yourself too hard, all right?
I can do it myself.
Did you see that? I'm not afraid of drowning anymore.
Yes, I did. And I'm sure you will be surfing soon.
Xiao-tong Guan.
The seaside...
is right here.
Xiao-tong!
Look at that.
It's a hermit crab.
My mom's celebrating her birthday this weekend.
Xiao-tong,
will you wear this necklace
and be my date to her birthday party?
Zi-yan, I'm really sorry, but I can't accept this necklace.
Zi-yan, we're...
Just let me finish while I still have the courage.
I used to think if I hid my true feelings for you,
at least we'd still be friends.
You see, I was afraid I'd lose you if I ever made a move on you.
But as we spent more time together, I realized
that without a beginning there can be no end,
that we're really going nowhere, that we're stuck in the same place.
So...
I'm really sorry, but I decided to make a move.
I know you're likely to turn me down,
but I want to be honest with myself.
Xiao-tong,
I love you and want to be with you.
What do you say?
Zi-yan,
I think we're better off as friends.
Is it because of Jia-wei Ji?
It's because of me.
Xiao-tong Guan,
are you going to hide forever?
Remember when I first taught you how to surf?
You said you were afraid of water.
You were worried you'd never learn how to surf.
Yet just now,
you took a board and walked into that ocean by yourself.
You mustered the courage to face your fear of drowning.
When are you going to muster the courage to face your love life?
You know what? We're not the same.
I'm more courageous than you can ever be.
You think you've grown, huh? But you haven't changed at all.
I want to change. I hate being so indecisive.
And what have you done about that?
You know he's leaving today.
Yet you decided to hide here, refusing to make a decision.
Let me ask you this.
If, God forbid, you were dragged into the ocean,
who would you want to be there for you?
Jia-wei Ji.
Then why are you hesitating?
Go to him. Talk things out with him.
PASSPORT
He likes her not because of what she does,
but because of what he can do when he's with her.
She likes him not because of what he's done for her,
but because of the things she can do with him.
Xiao-tong...
Mr. Ji, you're here.
I'm sorry, I came over to see the place and take some photos for the listing.
This way, please.
Mr. Ji, your house has great lighting and air circulation.
It's very spacious too. I'm sure buyers will be very interested.
Mr. Ji, we'll be taking photos of the rooms upstairs now.
Thanks.
Hello?
I can't seem to get through.
Boss, why aren't you here yet?
We threw you a going away party. Everyone's here.
- Jia-wei! - Jia-wei Ji!
- Mr. Ji! - We're waiting for you!
Polo's there too?
Yes, Shao-qiang brought him over. Everyone's here.
You're the man of the hour. Are you sneaking out on us?
Everyone's there?
Well... what about the others?
The others?
Oh, you mean Xiao-tong?
Xin-xin said she probably went to learn surfing. With that guy!
With that guy, that surfing instructor.
- Thanks. - You're welcome.
Jia-wei, I'm really very sad that our cycle polo team is breaking up.
All I have left is Xi-men Wang. We'll never win again.
That's not true. In fact, you shouldn't worry.
I already asked Zhi-yu to join our team.
Zhi-yu? You asked a girl to cover us?
- Have you no shame? - Shame on you!
Jia-wei Ji!
Boss, taking over your dad's company means you'll have more people under you.
But always remember, we were your first employees ever.
We may not have been the best employees. For us, you'll always be the best boss.
Boss, you might need to kick the habit
of using company resources for your personal needs.
So, Xi-men Wang, you're not afraid of me anymore, huh?
Yes, I still am.
Jia-wei Ji!
- Are you here to see the homeowner? - He just left.
I see.
Jia-wei Ji!
Wherever you are, call me when you get this message.
Jia-wei Ji.
On a final note, I'd like to say something in Xiao-tong Guan's defense.
Don't be upset with her.
I'm sure she didn't really want to break up with you.
Usually, the one who initiated the break is the one more upset about it.
Hey, enough about that. We're here to celebrate.
Boss, we'll let Polo talk to you now.
Come on, Polo. Hey, Polo.
Polo.
I'm sorry, Boss. He's super shy today.
All right, I'm at the airport now.
Thanks for your kind words.
And no matter where I am,
no matter where I go,
I will always miss you guys. That's all.
Did you hear that? Jia-wei just said--
He'll always miss us.
- I'm so touched. - You idiot.
- You're such a fake! - Oh, Polo...
Goodbye.
Jia-wei Ji, I'm so sorry.
I wasn't brave enough, and that's why we ended up like this.
When it came to relationships,
initially, I just wanted to hold hands, but instead I got an embrace.
Gradually, I wanted more and ended up losing myself in our relationship.
In the end, I just wanted a stable future for myself.
It was only after we broke up that I remembered
that back in the day,
all I wanted was for someone to simply hold my hand.
Love can be as simple as that,
but I made a complicated mess out of it.
You once said if I decided on something, what I want will eventually come to pass.
Well, right now,
I've decided on this, and I don't care about the outcome.
I don't want to live with regret.
I just want to give us another try.
TAIPEI SONGSHAN AIRPORT INTERNATIONAL TERMINAL
CLIMBING PROHIBITED
Excuse me.
Xiao-tong?
You have 10 new messages.
Jia-wei Ji, wherever you are, call me when you get this message.
Jia-wei Ji, can you please wait for me? I have to tell you something in person.
Jia-wei Ji, can you please stay for a while?
Xiao-tong Guan...
Thank goodness I moved fast when I missed you at your house.
And I got here just in time.
You see, I wanted to tell you
that I'm going to stop making up excuses to not be with you.
You see, I love you,
so I've decided to get the courage to let you know that.
Maybe I should cancel my plane ticket?
I'll just tell them I'll be there in a few days.
- I'll be right back. - No, it's okay.
Don't worry about me. Just leave me two things.
And what are those?
Polo. Leave him with me.
Sure.
And the other thing is...
You really do carry it around with you.
I do.
I still can't believe it.
But thank you for deciding to be brave for me.
Mom, my life
is about to begin a new chapter.
Let's start over by saying goodbye to one another.
Make a decision and what you want will eventually come to pass.
Jia-wei Ji, thank you for teaching me that.
So goodbye, Murphy's Law curse.
I thought we agreed to video chat at 11 p.m.?
How come he's early?
Why can't I see you?
I'm wearing a facial mask. I'll just call you back.
A facial mask? And you can still talk? I want to see your face.
I have an early meeting tomorrow. I can't sleep without seeing you.
Xiao-tong Guan.
Look at me.
Why are you doing this? I told you I was wearing a facial mask.
I'm so ugly now, and you're making me look at you.
So you just finished your first day. You must be tired.
At that office, everything is frustrating.
But seeing you now, it's like my life is back to normal.
Nothing else seems to matter right now.
What's the matter?
Are you sick? Now, don't just drink lemon ginger Coke. Okay?
You're grown up now. Go see a doctor. And stop acting like a child, okay?
I already went to a doctor, Dr. Guan.
Very good.
Now, I want to see you take your medicine, okay?
Then afterwards, you should rest.
But, Dr. Guan, the medicine prescribed to me is bitter.
What I need tonight is something sweet.
Sweet?
I like her not because of what she does,
but because of what I can do
when I'm with her.
All right, take your medicine, drink lots of water and you'll get better faster.
All right?
Time for Xiao-tong Guan.
- Hi. - Hi.
Wait a minute.
Why are you still at the hospital?
You can tell?
You've been going on overtime a lot lately.
You should tell them to lighten your workload. Don't overwork yourself.
Well, you should talk?
I know of this workaholic who keeps saying he'll come visit me,
but he keeps delaying his visit.
It's been so long since anyone has taken me out on a date.
I'm just kidding. Don't worry. I won't walk away from our date this time.
JIA-WEI JI CALLING
Hello?
I heard there's going to be a meteor shower tonight.
That's tonight? I was so busy I forgot.
I'll watch it with you.
We may be in different cities, but we're still looking at the same sky.
It makes me feel like you're just close by.
I know what you mean.
But now that we're apart like this,
don't you think we've become closer than ever?
See that! A red one is flying by. Do you see it?
Really? Where? How come I don't see it here?
That's impossible.
Xiao-tong, pollution must be really bad over there but keep your eyes in the sky.
I still don't see it.
Jia-wei Ji, are you pulling my leg? I don't see anything here.
I'm not pulling your leg. It's true, look up.
I like him not because of what he's done for me,
but because of the things I can do with him.
Let's slice some bell peppers. Each of you, get one.
All right.
Look for the center.
Then take your knife and cut straight down.
Don't worry about the stem.
Jia-wei Ji, you're so late today. I almost fell asleep waiting for you.
Didn't I tell you to just go to sleep when you're tired?
But I have to talk to you before I go to bed.
Today, Xin-xin, An-ting, Ke Rui and I took cooking lessons from Zi-yan Xiang.
I even got Zhi-yu to come too.
- You'll cut your hand doing it like that. - But your way is too dangerous.
I'm cutting this...
And you know what? I think Ke Rui is courting An-ting.
But I don't think An-ting likes Ke Rui's over-the-top personality.
I think An-ting and Zi-yan would make a better couple.
They both like to do things following their own SOP.
What's the matter?
This...
But I followed what you said, step by step.
See? "Blanch first. Soak in ice water for a minute."
- Then... - Listen.
You missed the most important part, heat control.
- Heat control? - Yes, that's critical.
Be careful next time.
All right, let's try what you made.
Xiao-tong, I want to try yours.
Next. Xiao-tong's is pretty good.
- Is it good? - Yours is pretty good.
If you like it, I can make you some every day.
Thanks, but I think I would rather learn how to make it myself.
But you botched the pineapple in yours.
I like you
Idiot! That's not pineapple!
- You're a pig. - Ignore him. Try mine.
All right.
- Go on. - Not you!
Eat your own food!
Oh, no, I dropped my shrimp.
He's an idiot!
Zi-yan, we're leaving now.
- Bye-bye. - Bye-bye.
By the way, I think Kevin and Zhi-yu have started dating.
Whenever Kevin has the day off, he drives Zhi-yu to work.
And you guessed it right.
- Xin-xin, I'm here. - You're late again!
- You said you wouldn't make me wait. - I'm sorry. Don't be upset.
- It was Xi-men's fault. Xi-men... - You're my husband, so fan me!
Slow down, please.
- Xin-xin! - Xiao-wei!
- Be careful. - You want to go see a movie?
- Sure! - Let's go!
- Follow us! - All right.
Follow us!
Bye!
I'm leaving as well. Bye.
Wait, Xiao-tong. I have something for your mom.
- What is it? - It's mushroom risotto with cream.
Your mom said she wanted to try my recipe. I put the recipe in there.
Thank you. Thank you so much for everything.
Don't mention it.
- Thanks again. Bye. - Bye-bye.
You went to class after a day's work? You must be exhausted.
Why didn't you let Zi-yan Xiang give you a ride?
You seem to be trusting me more and more.
It's called mutual trust.
But then, you can only sit in the back seat, as I said before.
Oh, you're such a child.
Can I have that bag?
This? Sure.
I made extra, and if you want it, you can take it home.
- Thanks. - I'll walk you out.
Bye, Ke Rui.
Guys...
What happened?
Why did you turn down my gift, and accept someone else's gift?
Xiao-tong Guan,
why do you always fall asleep in the middle of our chat?
I'll take a picture of your face.
I think you've been working too hard.
You should get some rest.
I think I'm so used
to falling asleep to the sound
of your breathing.
I can't believe it.
I fell asleep in the middle of the video chat with Jia-wei Ji last night.
What were we talking about?
How come I don't remember?
Hey, it stopped raining.
Hey!
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see you.
Jia-wei Ji!
It's you! I thought you were in Hong Kong.
I'm sorry I got you all wet.
Hey.
Is this payback for me splashing water on you when we first met?
I didn't know you'd be there.
How long are you staying here?
Three days? That's all?
Do you want to open the umbrella?
How come only three days? That's rather short. Why can't you stay longer?
Jia-wei Ji, what are you doing? That wasn't very nice.
Why? What happened?
Oh, just give me the umbrella.
Let's go.
Xiao-tong Guan.
Hey, it's raining!
Hey! Give that back! Give it back!
It's beautiful here.
Look at that.
Jia-wei Ji, what are you doing?
I want to know what you're reading.
You don't like this magazine.
There are other magazines. Why do you have to read mine?
I can't help it. You're my reading stand.
Turn the page.
Come here.
You sound like you're calling Polo.
Come here.
You have no idea how lonely it has been for me
to sleep alone in Hong Kong every day.
- It can't be that bad. - It's worse.
I think I need a better body pillow, something like this one.
- Good night. - Good night.
Hey!
Good morning.
Xiao-tong Guan.
Jia-wei Ji, you're such a child.
Let's go.
You're leaving for the airport in a while.
That's right. So, what do I do now? I miss you already.
Don't you think missing someone
is the simplest, most ordinary kind of happiness?
Xiao-tong Guan,
hold this.
Do you still think...
being with me is like a rollercoaster ride?
Stop it. People can see us. Put me down.
Now, our love is no longer cursed by Murphy's Law.
