Almost Love (2022) Movie Script

- [Happy birthday.]
- [Thank you.]
- [Happy new year, may you get it all!]
- [Happy new year!]
- [Happy birthday! Work less & earn money.]
- [Will do, thanks.]
Manager Yu.
You've been away from Chuning City for three or four years, right?
Almost four years.
Will you be nervous to come back to your hometown?
My foot hurts!
No!
It hurts! That's annoying.
Hey!
Yep.
Come on!
But I'm so happy to come back here.
Views have changed, along with the people.
- Then you should stay longer so you can enjoy it.
- Yeah.
Although it's not that open here, it still has its own charm.
What's more, it inspires talent.
A few top scholars came from here.
You can pass the examination and go back to Beijing.
My wife's disc store has reopened.
The business will thrive.
Shut up!
My ancestors would be proud that I'm a live-in son-in-law.
Yuwen Hai, screw you!
Ignite it.
Just go.
My discs! My discs!
- Let me fix it.
- Yuwen Hai, thank you.
- What the heck?
- Didn't the landlady quit drinking?
How should I know?
Therefore for this place... just continue to bear with it.
After the college entrance examination, life will be better.
- What? You're blocking me!
- Let me do it!
Let me do it!
We can turn like a tractor and stage a comeback.
- Where did you learn to drive?
- Are you trying to commit suicide?
My dear, are you all right?
You almost killed a human being!
I'm putting out the fire. You almost hit me.
I warn you! This is the place of excellence!
Everyone rushes to arrive for the college entrance examination.
[Almost Love]
I'm home!
Oh, you're back.
Oh, gosh! What did you do?
Why is your face dirty like a cat?
A fight.
You've always acted wild.
Granny.
Didn't I tell you? I'll bring back food next time.
Why did you go grocery shopping by yourself?
Didn't you sprain your back?
Bullshit. I went nowhere.
Great.
If so, the duck at the door plucked itself.
And hung itself upside down.
Can't it be done by others?
I picked it up on the way.
Why not just say it was sent by my parents?
You talk nonsense.
If they've sent something here, it would be very valuable.
A treasure in a house?
An old granny in a family.
By the way, nobody came to the store the whole day.
I told you. Nobody cares who the shopkeeper is.
Everyone knows the truth.
In the water station, that couple divorced, but still tends the station together.
What if someone comes and asks?
I'll cry. Give a full performance.
I can put on a performance.
Afterall, I'm good at acting.
Show me. Show me now.
I'm telling you. When I was young, I was much prettier than you.
Hello, Dad?
Did I tell you? I fixed it myself.
Your father insisted on packaging it himself.
Look. So messy!
- It's different from what we saw.
- Yeah, I know.
Books to read outside should not be in the bedroom.
Okay.
I know, Dad.
What's wrong?
It scaresd the hell out of me.
- Hello.
- Hi.
- You just moved in?
- Yeah, we just moved in.
- Just the two of you?
- My son and I.
- His father
- His father is in Beijing.
- Always in Beijing.
- In Beijing.
As soon as my son gets accepted at a university in Beijing, we'll reunite.
How are your son's academic scores?
My son's performance... my son will show he's capable.
Coming here is mainly to train him.
It's said that even this experience could be counted as a part of living.
It's not easy for a kid.
Whatever but we have a clear target.
The Department of Business Administration, Renmin University of China.
How ambitious!
That's his goal.
We'll certainly root for him.
I sincerely hope Zhou Can can catch up with the class soon
and climb up the peak of NCEE together with us.
There are more than 200 days until the exam in June.
We're stiving for excellence now.
Reporting. Good morning, Sir
What's going on?
I met a pregnant woman on the way to school.
Come over. Come inside.
Come and explain what's wrong with your school uniform.
I
I was splashed by a tractor yesterday.
Yu Jiaoyang,
how can you say such nonsense?
Go out and stand in the corner.
What if she's telling the truth?
I'm reminding you! Don't trust her.
She's good at talking big.
She claimed to be late because of a pregnant woman.
And then the uniform was soiled by a tractor.
She's good at finding excuses.
Her nickname is Ash-bin.
Exactly. Nobody's close to Ash-bin.
You live here?
- Do you want discs?
- Pardon?
I have... action, romance... romantic comedies...
- Mom.
- Auntie, how are you?
No need. Don't get your hands dirty.
Hello, hello.
Mom, what are you doing?
Didn't you quit drawing? These are useless now.
Anything that distracts you is out of here. Give it to me.
What did your father tell you yesterday?
Mom.
I'll do it myself.
Son.
Son!
Miss Lin, I'm Zhou Can.
Can. Oh, Miss Lin has fallen asleep after taking her pills.
Sorry for taking your time to come here.
- It's fine. Will there still be a class next week?
- Yes.
Okay, thank you very much.
Oh, gosh!
What's the matter?
- Look at his pants.
- Lower your voice.
Is there something stuck to his pants?
Maybe.
[Toilet]
[Under Maintenance]
Classmate. Hey, are your pants dirty?
I have an extra pair. I'll fetch them for you.
Here you are.
The toilet is under maintenance, it's forbidden to enter.
- How did you get inside?
- I didn't see the sign.
What?
Didn't you see the big characters on the board?
Oh, another one.
It's you!
- Hey, wait a second.
- Hey, what are you a team?
Wait a minute. Wait.
- So coincidental!
- No. Absolutely not!
You dropped something.
Do not bond with her. Exactly.
I'm Ash-bin.
I
I didn't mean that.
Oh, my pants are getting dry now, faster than yours.
Why are you following me?
You fell off?
Oh, no. Stop crying. Stop crying.
Let me check it out. Come on.
Oh, please don't cry. Be good.
Hai, lend me your coat.
Mine is yours, isn't it?
Whose is this? I don't want it.
Your pants are wet, just take it. Just go.
Why are you crying again?
It's my turn to cry.
So... your father is waiting for you and your mother to go to Beijing.
To go back to Beijing.
All right ...Peking man.
Looking to mess with my business?
- Me?
- Yeah, it's you.
You're wearing my pants.
Hai, your pants are here.
Fine.
You shared the booty after the murder,
taking it as a war trophy and showing it off in public.
Now I'm warning you.
Today, we're going to war.
Guys, all in.
This...
- Pick it up.
- What?
Can't you catch it next time?
Wait.
Pick it up. Pick it up.
You.
Are you playing tricks?
Backstabber?
- Bros!
- Beat him up!
- Come on!
- Pick up your weapons.
Hey, Hai.
What are you doing?
- Stop!
- Dean.
What's your grade?
Twelfth Grade Class 3.
Still fighting in the twelfth grade?
- You guys don't want to take the college entrance examination, right?
- No. It's not like that, Dean.
We're not fighting.
We're... having a demonstration.
Yep.
- Demonstration?
- Demonstration?
Demonstration?
"Crane spreads its wings."
- Come on.
- "Picking up the Moon...
- Come on.
- "...from the Sea."
- What for?
- Just reviewing.
- I didn't.
- How did I know?
You just make it up.
A doodle.
A printing doodle.
- Yeah, doodling.
- Right.
Yep. The shopkeeper is decorating the new store
and we've been asked to draw to attract clients.
Auntie, I promise you this.
The shopkeeper keeps inviting me to draw.
- No one could finish it alone.
- Yep.
Just go back. Nothing big here.
Fine.
If one of you can finish the drawing, I'll buy that crap.
- What are we going to paint?
- Otherwise, nobody escapes punishment.
What should we paint? Anything.
Hurry up. I
Oh, you forgot the signature.
[Happy Cake: New Store Renovation]
The star of Zhou Can.
It's sparkling.
Mom, where are you going?
I'm sending it to the son of your class adviser.
Your dad mailed it from Beijing.
I heard that he has the right to vote for the enrollment quota of college.
I'll try everything to make it happen.
Wait, Mom.
I picked this up for you.
No, thanks. Besides, I have no desire to draw.
No.
You can still have it.
A great deal.
The day you moved here, I set the outer packaging on fire.
Look!
No business.
Therefore, I have an idea.
What I can do is find pictures online for you and you can draw the posters.
Then I could hang them in the shop to attract customers.
As long as I'm able to bring the bacon, you'll get the divided spoils.
I'm not 18 yet, it's illegal for you to hire me.
Then I won't pay you.
No way.
No way for what?
Your inspiration suddenly dried up?
We make the world we live in and shape our own environment.
Clear and powerful. Please sit down.
So boring. Restart the painting.
You know nothing about it.
I'm the boss, just follow my lead.
Don't you see the Yellow River rushes to come from the heavens until it reaches the ocean.
Don't you see the Yellow River rushes to come from the heavens until it reaches the ocean.
Wow!
[Business Hours: 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.]
Jiaoyang!
Jiaoyang, open the door. I have to answer the call of nature!
Just open the door.
I'm telling you! It's not right to watch certain movies at such a young age.
Open the door. I'm calling your grandmother.
Sir, do you still have the one in the drawing?
It's sold out.
- Thank you, Madam.
- You're welcome.
- He bought them all.
- Come earlier next time.
Come on. Oh You're here again.
- Do you have any more of this?
- No.
However, there are new ones in the back, in that row, you can check.
It's a line in a movie.
In reality, Washington didn't say that.
Okay, I got it.
- How is your studying going?
- Not bad.
- Take good care of your mother.
- Yes, roger that, Dad.
It's getting colder tomorrow, don't wash your hair in the morning.
I'm going to visit your class adviser and I'll be back soon.
No way. What did you buy?
Bastard shopkeeper, come out now.
How dare you cheat me?
Come out!
The titles don't match!
Are they the same? Are you making fun of me?
Are you? I...
Bro Fei, it's not the fault of Jiaoyang.
She's been misled by some bad influences lately.
As bad as me?
Who? Mislead by who?
- Did you have a look at it?
- Of course I did.
If not, I wouldn't have come here for you.
Did you finish it?
Good question. Good question.
Entertainment Club.
Unprofessional.
Why would I finish watching this kind of movie?
I told you, it's all a crooked promotion.
You'd pay for it.
You've drawn well under my guidance.
It's so nice.
Stop jumping.
So touching.
It's so noisy.
Close it.
The Entertainment Club is so professional.
Look.
Isn't it a smile?
It's pressed by the nut in the door frame.
Wait a minute.
Your eyelashes are so long.
Your
Your front teeth are so white.
- It's a power outage.
- It's a power outage.
It's a power outage.
Let's go. Go to the playground.
What are you doing here?
I've told you, we go outside.
Why are you still here? I'll wait outside.
Okay.
It's a power outage.
Everybody is outside.
Yep.
Don't you want to go out?
Don't you want a chance to let go?
I've applied.
Applied for what?
I've applied for an art competition.
Can it add credits for you?
No.
But it's prestigious.
I've wanted it for so long.
The judge is a painter that I admire.
He's why I learned painting.
Do your eyes always shine like this?
I'm just staring at you.
Go away.
Mom, what are you doing here?
Are you shameless? I'm embarrassed now.
Wait, Auntie, listen to me.
Don't disturb an adult when she is educating her child.
- Mom, what's wrong?
- What's wrong?
What did you paint?
What will I say to your father!?
What's the matter?
You're the... the ash-bin dragging my son into hell.
Cancan, do you know how terrible she is?
During the senior high school entrance exam,
she tore up the test paper of her best friend and threw it into the trash can.
Her best friend couldn't even retake the exam.
Auntie, what nonsense are you talking about?
Am I talking nonsense?
If so, I will apologize.
Cancan, only the trash will want to go into the trash can.
Jiaoyang.
Jiaoyang!
Mom, she has a real name.
Her name is Yu Jiaoyang.
I think you should apologize to her.
That wasn't respectful at all.
[Sorry. I apologize to you on behalf of my mother.]
[Okay.]
[Send]
Is Auntie all right now?
She had a headache.
She took a pill and fell asleep.
You're unexpectedly out.
I went out through the window.
Today, I've experienced many things for the first time.
My bad. It's all my fault.
But you don't look guilty as you say.
You look very pleased.
It's not true.
I'm sorry.
Auntie is right.
It's my fault.
It's not.
How about the incident... What's the truth?
Everyone's right about it.
In the senior high school entrance exam, I tore up the test paper of my best friend.
I did it intentionally.
I just wanted to help her.
Qian Pei.
I'm hungry, let's go to the cafeteria.
I don't have an appetite.
A score of 92. If it were my score, I would feed myself with fun and food.
Qian Pei, why are you here?
I'm so stupid.
I can't remember anything.
The senior high school entrance exam is just around the corner and
my parents have spent a lot buying oral medicines.
I can't stand it anymore.
Before the exam,
students with poor scores like me would wish for an accident,
for example, a car accident.
They don't want to die, but a fracture is necessary.
A natural disaster could have the same effect, too.
Typhoon. Tornado.
In this case, only the outside factors could save me.
However, the day before the entrance exam,
my best friend told me suddenly that...
she said
Qian Pei, why are you here?
You scared the hell out of me.
In your opinion,
if I'm blown into the sea on the way to the exam room,
would that be lucky?
Don't talk nonsense!
Let's go back home, all right?
It depends.
Maybe my parents will rescue me and send me back to the exam room.
Qian Pei, don't talk nonsense!
When my score is revealed,
I'm the one to be sentenced to death. Right?
No way.
My ranking last time was not that good.
If I'm destined to ruin it,
why don't I just finish myself?
Qian Pei, what are you talking about?
Pay attention please.
Five minutes left.
Please carefully check everything.
Check whether you've filled in your name and exam registration number.
Hey, student, stop!
What are you doing? Why are you tearing the test paper of others?
Let's go! Let's go to the Office of Academic Affairs.
Don't be affected by her. Just behave yourselves in the exam room.
Let's go!
So for this instance, did you ever try to explain it to others?
Yes. But nobody bought it.
What's worse, it didn't work at all.
Her parents applied for a second exam.
Afterall, she was the victim.
The result was not good, as expected.
She went to a senior high school in another province.
We've since lost contact.
My disturbance changed nothing at all.
I regret it.
No.
You can't think like that.
If I had a friend like you, I would've thought...
"I'm so lucky to have such a friend."
Stop trying to comfort me.
Don't you have to sort out a can of worms?
I've figured it out.
What have you figured out?
Nothing.
However,
I won't regret it.
When a noun is in front of a complement, and there is no verb, the noun bears the effect of promoting.
In a sentence, when there are two nouns not in the coordinating relation,
or not in the subordinate relation, and there are no other verbs, the noun is the uniting verb.
It's possible that I have a fever.
This process is an innovative method integrating reading and thinking.
Granny!
- You're back.
- Yeah, I'm back now.
You're back.
Are you cooking ginger duck again?
You're so greedy.
You scored a 96.
- Awesome, right?
- Wow, you're so brilliant!
Granny, I've discovered a brilliant way.
When I was studying in the past, my head was filled with my internal voice.
I couldn't hear anything.
Now, I've changed it into those of another's voice.
He's reading for me in my head, and I've taken it all in.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- Your reward!
- Here's my reward.
You get the duck legs to yourself.
The Central Meteorological Observatory continues an orange typhoon alert and yellow rain alert.
Such bad timing. Damn it. Typhoon, screw you.
...it will land in the region of Fuqing of Fujian on the 18th,
with intensity upon landfall.
The weather is killing me.
Beijing is never this humid.
Will Miss Xu come today?
Yes.
The rain is so heavy. It'll be impossible to get a taxi.
Can, what about asking for a day off?
It's all right. A class costs hundreds of yuan.
I can walk there.
- Mom, I'm leaving now.
- You haven't finished breakfast!
I'm good!
Take some eggs!
Cancan!
What if I drive you there?
No need. The rain is pouring.
I'm worried about your safety.
Don't worry.
Mom.
I'm old enough to take care of myself.
Hurry up! Hurry up! Give me. Here you are.
Just be careful.
Got it.
Ladies and gentlemen, you've been through a lot.
It's a bad weather day.
Many contestants are still stuck due to the weather,
so the organizing committee has decided that
we'll modify some procedures and delay the competition.
A lot of you are all wet. Please rest and dry off.
Mind your health and don't catch a cold.
Please get your admission tickets ready.
Okay. Come on, what about yours?
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Sir, I didn't bring my badge with me.
Can I fetch it after I finish the drawing?
I can't allow that.
Without the admission ticket, you're not even qualified to attend the competition.
I'm afraid that if I go back to fetch it now, I may miss the competition.
I can't help you with that. You can double check.
Okay.
Okay.
Sir, I'm going to fetch it now.
Why are you here?
Your admission ticket.
Are you a fool? How could you forget such an important thing?
Give me your hand.
Go.
I'll fetch a towel for you.
Wait a minute. Take the badge.
You can do it.
- I'm leaving now.
- The contest will start soon.
- Just go.
Bye-bye.
Looking back on that encounter many years later
At the crossroads of life, the wind gallops
Time makes everything softer
Who planned our meeting?
Young enough to fear the heights of the sky and the earth
Difficulties along the way turned into helpers
Even if the remaining clouds fall,
and the brushstrokes make up the wind and rain
I lose to your slightly cool palm temperature
That is engraved into my heart for the first time
You come to the end of my night, like a star
All the beautiful things in this world are named after you
Since then, the whereabouts
of spring and autumn are unknown
The summer of that year became a life limitation
You are the sweetest imprint I've ever had in my life
The typhoon that day was fierce, the rain was pouring, I was shivering.
But I didn't feel helpless.
Because I knew where I was heading and towards whom I was running.
A moment becomes an eternal miracle
Betting all the luck in my life
How lucky I am to meet you
at the most beautiful time
You are the sweetest imprint I've ever had in my life
It was also the time when I was powerless to say goodbye
If the story is doomed to be exchanged for pain and suffering
I am ready to go where fate takes me
The typhoon that day was fierce, it was so fierce.
It rained cats and dogs.
Everyone complained. It was cold. It was cold.
It was so cold,
but I remembered nothing but warmth.
I would even say it was more than warmth,
it was an intense heat.
We made it!
You scared me.
Cancan!
My son.
Mom.
It's not bad.
It's good.
Let's go.
Excuse me.
Come on.
I'll have it when we get home.
I'll cook you fresh ones when we're home.
Although we took a little detour,
now you're only one step away
from your dream business school.
It's worth it.
Mom.
I want to have fish tonight.
Oh. It's good for your brain.
What are you doing here?
My granny is cooking duck tonight. She asked me to buy her special ingredients.
However, they're sold out.
It's the end.
How do you feel?
It's not
It's not what?
Nothing.
So... I'm going back now.
I don't think it's the end.
I think it's the beginning.
[October, 2009]
Look!
What did you buy?
I got barbeque and beer.
How could we drink without straws?
Who said there were no straws?
Let me show you.
Look! Drink like this.
The scallion makes it taste better.
Can you really drink like this?
Of course, I can. Yuwen Hai taught me.
What's the matter?
You two get together every day.
Our department buildings are close.
Screw it. Throw it away. Let's go!
Go.
Why didn't we take the bus?
See? It's getting dark.
You're on the other side of the city.
It's almost a long-distance relationship.
I just want to spend more time with you.
Oh. It's my fault.
I'm telling you. For me,
there is no favorable climate.
There is no favorable geographical condition. There is no blessing.
The whole world is trying to break us apart.
How great our love is!
Break us apart?
My mom was talking nonsense before. Don't think about it.
Oh, I'd almost forgotten. You're reminding me again.
So... drink it or not.
I'm not doing it Yuwen Hai's way.
I'm doing it my way.
Just be careful along that way.
Bye-bye.
I accidentally patted you because I missed you
I'm sorry, excuse me.
Excuse me.
Why are you here?
I'm coming to see you off.
You're missing your own bus.
It's all right. I'll walk home.
I forgot how to exude charm
Heartbeat emoticon
I keep replaying you touching my head
Baby, muah
I don't have to tell you for you to understand
that I want to be together
Or I won't turn into a kitten
Hinting at you with a pair of watery eyes
[Mr. Zhou's Sun: My boyfriend's nose bleeds because he works so hard at his internship.]
[Health Starts with Me CS: Boiling water with peanut skins will help.]
[Mr. Zhou's Sun: Is there anything he should avoid eating? I buy him three meals a day.]
[Health Starts with Me CS: No.]
[The exhibition ends today, right? Make time to eat your meals. Let me know.]
[Did you faint from hunger?]
[I was busy. Should I order delivery for you?]
[Visual Arts Exhibition]
Dad! Why are you here?
I'm passing by.
Are you devoting yourself to this crap now?
Huh?
I have a special forum later.
I'm the keynote speaker.
Are you trying to drive me crazy?
Your mom, too?
This is the path you chose, huh?
This is what you quit business school for?
[Delivery will take about a half hour.]
[Did you have a nosebleed today? I bought more peanut skins.]
[If I didn't take care of you, what would you do?]
[What do you want to eat? Or should I order whatever?]
[Just eat it while it's hot.]
[At the end of the day, I'll plan to take a long rest.]
[I can't handle it anymore.]
[I'm just a bit tired.]
[Good.]
[Food delivery]
Hello? I'd like to place an order.
Zhou Can.
Sister Lin.
Mr. Wang has arrived. I'm going to pick him up.
- Okay.
- You and Liu are in charge now.
- Everything will be fine, right?
- Sister Lin, please rest assured.
- Great.
- Okay.
- Liu.
- Sister Lin.
Have you and Zhou Can gotten the building permits yet?
The event will start soon.
Where do we get it?
- Hello?
- Why didn't you make the address clear in the order?
Wait! Who is this?
For customer Zhou Can. Is this the take-out you ordered?
I didn't or
It might be me. Just leave it at the front gate, please.
There's no place to put it here. Just come out and get it.
- Just take a seat, please.
- I'll be back soon.
Okay.
So, where are you now?
Here. I'm here.
I was almost about to leave.
Such a waste of time.
Hello, please show your ticket.
I'm the staff here.
Please show me your pass.
I'm sorry. I've left my pass inside.
- I went out to get a delivery.
- I'm sorry, please buy a ticket over there.
- Thanks.
Excuse me. I'm the staff.
I didn't bring my pass with me. Could I buy a replacement ticket?
Please queue up, thanks for your cooperation. Thank you.
Wait, but I
- Come on, look at this.
- Come on. Lift up your hand. Great.
Excuse me.
Excuse me. Excuse me.
This is the brochure, Mr. Wang. Please have a look.
Mr. Wang.
Liu.
I don't know how to turn it off.
This is the first time I've used an Apple computer.
You didn't come back on time.
Everyone was here already, so I started showing some files.
This folder on your desktop is named "The most important thing."
So I just opened it.
I didn't do it intentionally.
Originally, I wasn't in charge of this.
How could that happen?
- What do we do now?
- I'm sorry, Mr. Wang.
Do I need to remind you how important this forum is?
Your intern is too unreliable.
Here you are.
Did your nose bleed again?
Did you take the drink I made for you?
Yes or no?
What about this?
Let's go see a doctor after you finish the case.
Leave me alone.
What do you mean?
Leave me alone.
No. I don't understand.
What do you mean?
What happened?
Nothing. It's none of your business.
No. Just tell me.
I didn't handle it well.
Zhou Can, do you think you can solve your problems by sulking?
I've lost my job.
What's wrong?
It's my fault. Just leave it to me.
No.
Zhou Can, you tell me nothing and just think I understand nothing.
You don't even try to explain it to me. Tell me what I can do.
We don't need to share anything.
Even if I tell you, it's meaningless.
At least now it's only me who's upset.
Why do you have to make both of us upset?
It's meaningless.
How could that be meaningless?
We should face problems together. Isn't that the meaning?
I'm your girlfriend.
I want to know what happened to my boyfriend.
Why are you so upset? Did I do something wrong?
What could you do if I tell you?
If I can't fix it, then you can't fix it, either. Right?
Why do you keep asking? What is the point?
To know is the point.
I always think that if someone is always by my side,
supporting me then that's good enough.
Jiaoyang,
you're not the only one who can define companionship.
Although we're in love,
you have your own life
and so do I.
It is only responsible
that I can take care of my own life.
It turns out that I'm essentially wrong.
I thought I was sharing your burdens.
It turns out I was the burden.
Jiaoyang, let's talk about it later.
Don't ever contact me again.
Jiaoyang.
Jiaoyang!
[(Receive a 5 yuan call fee) Dear Customer, you have a 5 yuan call fee discount for newcomers to Caiyun!...]
Thank you.
Xiaoyu. See?
Is he touching that girl's waist?
Stop it. He's not.
- Really?
- Yes.
What grade is he in?
Where?
When people break up, why do they say
"Don't contact me anymore."
"Leave me alone. Just delete me."
These are all demands for the other person.
It should be the other way around.
I won't contact you anymore. I won't talk with you anymore.
Now I'm deleting you.
When you make these demands for yourselves, it's called decisions.
When you throw
those cold demands on others, they become threats.
They become orders.
You want him to say no.
You want him to beg you to stay.
Ma'am, where are the watercolor pens?
- Over there.
- Thank you.
The carp doesn't taste good, so I didn't get you any.
Li Yujin. What's the matter?
Haven't you made peace?
Is there no need for me to go?
It's all right. That's fine. Thank you very much.
- Let's take a photo of the bride tossing the bouquet.
- Great.
But we're short-handed.
Miss!
Miss, over here!
Miss, excuse me.
We're taking a photo of the bouquet tossing.
Can we take a minute of your time? Just pretend you're a guest and try to catch the bouquet.
- Excuse me.
- Do us a favor. Thank you.
Please. Do us a favor.
- Sure. Just a second.
- Okay.
Okay.
- Toss it to me.
- Come on.
- Come on.
- Get ready. Cheese.
Are you ready?
Whoever catches the bouquet will have her own wedding soon.
Great. Nice pose.
Hang on to it.
Hurry up!
Come on.
I'm going to throw it.
Okay, Bride, are you ready?
One, two, three,
If you were to host my funeral one day
What?
How would you deliver my eulogy?
Think about it.
If we spend our lives together,
then at the end,
one of us has to give a eulogy for the other.
What a weird question all of a sudden.
Not all of a sudden.
I think about it a lot when I'm alone.
At the end of your life,
how would you describe your lifetime partner?
How would you describe me?
I
Think about it, please.
Everyone in the funeral would shed tears.
Our children, our friends
...and even people we're not familiar with would attend our funerals.
When are you so popular?
I've always been popular.
So, at the end, you pick up the microphone.
What kind of person was your wife, Yu Jiaoyang?
How would you describe me?
What would you say?
- Me?
- Yeah.
- I'll start.
- Sure.
Today, right here,
I've promised to him that I would not cry.
So, I must keep the promise.
Because I have nothing to regret.
We've gone through a lot, hand in hand,
In the end, what separated us...
was neither dispute nor betrayal,
but natural laws, the fairest thing in the world.
I'm gratified and grateful.
Thank God.
I'm lucky enough to describe my life as happy.
Zhou Can and I have spent our lives hand in hand.
Zhou Can,
he was the best lover.
Every step that I took toward him made me feel happier.
Therefore, Zhou Can,
in the next life, by all means, I will be with you again!
What's wrong?
Have you fallen asleep?
No.
For my part, I have never met a girl
who could be cute even with a trash can over her head.
That's not a compliment.
You're ruining the vibe.
No, I'm not.
[November, 2015]
I shared the minutes of our last meeting in the group.
Who didn't get it?
And as for the problems with the gifts
Hello?
Yes.
Yes. We need to redo all the designs related to the nursing care plan.
Shall we replace the gifts, too?
Okay, no problem.
I'll get it done by the day after tomorrow.
By the way,
the gifts that we've already bought, can I keep them for myself?
I want to give them to my granny.
Okay.
Thank you very much.
I'm sorry. I'm very sorry.
- What the hell?
- I'm sorry. Really.
I'm sorry, really sorry.
Are you all right?
It's all smashed.
I'm so sorry.
I'll pay for it.
Is it all right?
I'm so sorry.
I'm not trying to make money off you.
Just rest assured, I'll finish on time.
I look forward to our future collaboration.
Thank you.
Does it hurt?
I'll be quick.
What a disppointing birthday.
I changed my flight
hoping to come back earlier and celebrate with you.
But my plane got delayed.
I couldn't even pick up the cake I ordered.
Which airline did you choose?
We can avoid it next time.
The miles are worth all the movie tickets we spend in a year.
There's no need.
Next time, I'll pay for you.
Nice.
It's all on you.
You had a tough time.
You're good to go.
It's lucky that my client gave me an apple pie.
It's just that I smashed it.
If the case is fake then the present must be real.
I was just joking last time.
How could you still remember it?
Of course I can.
How can I forget anything my wife said?
Come on.
Are you done?
Wait a second.
I can tell that you've never put on a necklace before.
That's because I'm single-minded.
You fool.
- All right.
- Okay.
Wow.
It's all destroyed.
Wait a minute.
Zhou Can's Jiaoyang will be happy.
Make a wish.
I always make three wishes on my birthday.
Two of them have remained the same for years.
First, I hope everything goes well with our work.
Second, I hope Granny can stay healthy.
But as for the third wish, I made it at age 25.
I feel nervous and scared
to even think about it in my head.
Because it's too perfect.
Too perfect to be real.
To make such a wish has cost me much courage.
Can God hear me?
Please help me realize it.
I hope by my next birthday,
I could have gotten the third wish...
and changed it.
My wife has such strong lungs.
Okay. May all my wife's wishes come true.
- Really.
- Yeah.
You still have work to deal with? It's so late.
I'll join the new company soon.
There's much to deal with.
You're working hard.
Hey, Bei.
I'm not tired at all.
Isn't our goal to buy a car within a year and a house within three years?
I'm doing it.
Sister.
How's the private office?
I won't fail you.
Don't be silly.
We haven't thanked Mr. Huang yet.
He offered a lot of help on this project.
Now that you're promoted, how about a gathering?
- How about tomorrow?
- Okay.
Wait, no! I may not be available tomorrow.
I have a date with my boyfriend.
Okay. Just let me know when.
Sure.
Oh, just come in.
Have a look.
Help me move the flowers.
- Help me clean the windows.
- Okay.
How do you feel?
Leaving a tiger's den, entering a wolf's den?
You can still escape.
There are beasts everywhere.
I admire how positive you are.
However, in the outside world,
you need to look humble and polite.
This is your seat.
The office supplies are coming.
Don't put that there. Let me handle it.
We have to finish the proposal this afternoon.
You have to hurry. Only focus on this case.
It's a miracle that President Sun would even agree to talk to a startup like ours.
Our pitch deck has to be perfect.
We must overstate our advantages.
Otherwise, she'll forget us immediately.
Really?
Hurry up! Hurry up!
President Sun! President Sun!
Bei, I'm very sorry. I forgot our appointment.
- Okay. I'll take a look.
- Let's take a seat and have a chat.
I'm sorry, but I don't have the time.
I have a meeting soon.
- Let's chat another time. Another time.
- It's all right.
When will you be free?
Maybe next week.
Next week. We're running out of time.
I'm really too busy this week.
My driver has been hospitalized, and I have to pick up my child.
- Please try to understand.
- Okay.
So, when can I make an appointment again?
Let's talk about it next time.
President Sun, is there anything we can do to help?
Jiaoyang, come and persuade Mr. Huang to start seriously drinking.
- You've spent the whole night in just sipping.
- Exactly.
You're exaggerating. Mr. Huang has had enough already.
- Jiaoyang, Huang is yours.
- You people.
Jiaoyang, your phone just rang.
Did someone call you?
- Hello, my dear.
- Hi, honey.
Do you have any cash?
- Where are you? I'm coming now.
- I'm in Lianyi.
- Cash? How much do you need?
- Five hundred.
I have it.
Where is Lianyi?
Lianyi? It's the restaurant.
Haven't we been there before?
No.
I'm sending you the address. Just come over.
Okay.
[Lianyi, 850 yuan per person]
Honey.
That's too much. Five hundred is enough.
- You sure?
- Yes.
The gas station only accepts cash and their gas card.
- Do you know where the nearest one is?
- Yeah.
- I just searched for one on GPS.
- Okay.
Can you close the windows? It's freezing.
Okay.
I-I'm helping a friend.
Go ahead. Drive safe.
Okay.
Did you drink?
Yes.
- Don't drink too much.
- Okay.
Rest assured. Just leave.
I'm leaving.
Honey, come on.
- Mom.
- What's wrong.
The driver this time is more interesting than the last one.
Driver?
Call him uncle. Uncle Zhou.
- Did you thank Uncle Zhou?
- Thank you, Uncle.
You're welcome.
Come on. President Sun, here you are.
I'm sorry. I'm a little bit late today.
- I had to refuel the car.
- It doesn't matter.
- Thank you, Zhou.
- My pleasure.
- Say goodbye to Uncle.
- Goodbye, Uncle.
- Bye-bye.
- Bye-bye.
President Sun.
Tomorrow is Monday.
Both Bei and I would like to know whether it's possible for us to take part in the project.
Zhou, the truth is, for a company like yours,
you shouldn't target big projects
but start from what you already have.
Of course, it's just my personal opinion. And it's not always right.
- Thank you for what you've done today.
- You're welcome, it's my pleasure.
Bye-bye. Let's go.
President Sun.
President Sun, how about this?
Before you find another driver, I could be a temporary one.
Just like what you said,
I'll start with what I have... what I have in hand now.
You're back. Thank you for your hard work.
What are these?
Wedding candles.
Perfect. Give me one.
- Where did they come from?
- Hai.
He and Li Yujin are getting married next week, but they aren't planning a ceremony.
They'll just travel around.
But they sent wedding candles anyway.
- Yuwen Hai.
- Yeah.
He got married fast.
Honey,
how much shall we put in the red envelope for their wedding?
It doesn't matter. It's up to you.
Anyway, no matter how much we give them, they'll give it back one day.
Sir, what would you like?
Let me have a look.
Mr. Huang spoke highly of us.
We got greenlit all the way to the top.
May I have a cup of water?
I'm sorry. We don't provide free water here.
But the desserts are 40% off now.
Let me have a look, again.
- Zhou.
- President Sun.
President Sun, I'm very sorry. It's still rough.
This is good enough. I asked for it on short notice.
Not at all. It's training for me.
"Honey,
you have a charming smile."
Why is it like this?
I can make a modification right now.
Forget about it.
It's my son. It's his birthday.
He asked for a themed party.
It's all my fault. I didn't make it clear enough.
I can draw another one.
There's no need. It's too late anyway.
Just go home. I'm leaving now.
- Bye-bye.
- Take care.
[Honey, you have a charming smile.]
Honey.
Honey!
Did the battery for the lock die again?
Why did you come back so late?
There was extra work today, for some promotional events.
The display balloons didn't arrive on time.
I managed to turn waste into wealth.
Am I awesome?
- Really?
- Yes.
Don't you believe me?
I believe you.
What did you buy?
It's from President Sun. She liked the drawing I did for her.
Her son is having a birthday party, so she gave me a piece of cake.
Here.
Honey, it is actually lucky that we're not working with a person like her.
It's not that easy.
I can't just quit a job I don't like.
We still have to live.
I still have to raise a family.
I don't want you to be like this.
What's the meaning of my existence?
This is our family.
The one earning more should be the one to raise the family.
Is that wrong?
You're good at turning waste into wealth.
But can it fly?
I'm back.
[Honey, you have a charming smile.]
[Honey, are you working late again? When will it end?]
[Let us share our unhappiness to be happy. I also have to work overtime for a client.]
I'll be there soon.
All right. All right.
[But I found a solution. Guess what it is? Hehe!]
[I'm super tired.]
[Five people doing the work of twenty people. I feel like I'm exchanging money for my life.]
[Five people doing the work of twenty people. I feel like I'm exchanging money for my life.]
[Take it easy on yourself and take care of yourself.]
[That's easy for you to say.]
[I'm just concerned for you.]
[Okay.]
Jiaoyang, drink some water.
Thank you.
Why did the meeting take so long?
The project is very complicated.
I just watched a really funny video.
It's really funny. Look.
So interesting.
That clumsy panda.
Phone fraud.
They're selling commercial space.
The agent kept calling me last month.
Ask your husband to buy it.
- My husband?
- Yeah.
Sister Jiaoyang.
Where are you going?
Quick.
He's here. Finally.
What?
The person in charge of this project is coming soon.
From the headquarters in France.
At 1:00 p.m. tomorrow afternoon
We'll do the pitch.
Be ready for the presentation.
All thanks to Mrs. Sun this time.
President Sun has put in some good words for us.
You're great.
You didn't waste your time driving for her.
Hello, Honey, I'm going to
Honey, something is wrong with my granny.
What happened?
I'm so scared.
Don't worry.
Granny is in the ICU.
Honey, I'm so afraid.
Please come. I'm begging you.
I promise.
I'm begging you.
I'll be there for you.
This is not good enough.
There is no way we can get the project with this.
Let's start it all over again.
Your grandmother's health issue is serious.
She may not make it the night.
Okay. I'm on my way. I'll be there soon.
Hold on.
They rescheduled.
We'll go last tomorrow at 11:00 in the morning.
How could that be?
Isn't it set for today?
They're doing us a favor.
11:00, tomorrow morning.
Then can we postpone it?
Of course not.
Can you do the pitch tomorrow instead?
Zhou Can, what's the matter?
How could you act like this at such a critical moment?
This project means a lot to the company. This project means a lot to you.
Don't you understand?
Be there on time.
All right.
[Wife]
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Excuse me. Thank you.
This is your grandmother's.
Yangyang! Yangyang!
I've received the duck.
You have no idea. I sent one to everyone.
Each neighbor got one.
They all miss you so much.
Will you come back for the Spring Festival?
With Zhou Can?
Bring him with you.
I want to see you two.
[I'm sorry, but I have to finish before I can come there.]
Jiaoyang!
Jiaoyang, are you there?
Sorry! The subscriber you dialed is powered off.
The phone you were calling is powered off.
Sorry
Jiaoyang.
Jiaoyang.
[Taxi]
Drink some milk.
Oh.
I've simmered it for an hour.
It should be good.
It tastes weird.
What's wrong with it?
I should have learned it earlier.
I should have learned how to cook from you.
I shouldn't have gone out when you were cooking.
I overcooked it.
I ruined the dish.
Granny.
I miss you so much.
I miss you.
Miss you so much.
Granny.
Granny.
I can't hold on anymore.
Please hug me.
I broke up with him that day.
It was a relief.
I wouldn't expect anything from him anymore.
He wouldn't need to promise me anything anymore.
We stepped onto different paths
without any burdens.
We all felt relieved.
[My registered fingerprint in the electronic lock has been deleted, and I should not have left anything else that belongs to me. If there is, it probably won't be a big deal, so please help me to get rid of it :) Goodbye, best wishes.]
However, one month later, when I thought of that breakup,
I still couldn't help but cry.
My cries woke up the neighbors.
I wanted to wipe him completely away from my memory.
Because even a tiny thing that reminded me of him,
a song, a crossroad,
would help him make his way back into my head.
It reminded me of how much of a failure I was, how much youth I'd lost.
It forced me to describe him as a stain in my life.
It forced me to deny myself
who loved him so much.
After a long while,
I finally realized the true reason for my bitter crying was that
I knew deep in my heart
that he was not a mistake and he was not a stain.
I couldn't just wipe him away.
The time with him couldn't prove I was a failure.
He was just someone I loved and someone who loved me.
He existed in my past.
And those days from the past
defined my days in the future.
[A Year Later]
By launching this interactive collage poem project,
we're trying to challenge the traditional concepts of art exhibition.
This is also why we set the venues at unconventional locations.
- Like in a shopping mall?
- Yes.
But we'll have to make adjustments according to the locations.
Of course. And that's where we need you.
- Don't worry.
- Okau
I look forward to our future collaboration.
- It's all on you.
- Sure.
- Zhou, help yourself, please.
- Okay.
We have to go.
- Okay.
- Bye.
Thank you for your efforts.
Let's go.
You... You're here.
I saw the promotion on the internet.
That painter I was just talking to
This is his first official art exhibition in China.
It'll be held in the atrium of our shopping mall.
"Our mall?"
Awesome.
You're flattering me.
No.
I mean it.
You're brilliant.
Thank you.
A dictionary between lovers
Words that avoid separation
We never have to say goodbye
Where are you going?
I have a dinner at 6:00.
A dinner with some clients.
Wake up and open your eyes
Why are you back?
I just told you, to meet clients.
Why did you throw my power bank?
I I thought you'd arrived.
Fine.
3% of power.
What now?
I still have a lot of work to do.
My battery is almost dead, too. I also have 3% left.
I never said goodbye
Nothing can come between us
Our time will last forever; no deadline
You are still by my side
- It's all right.
- Are you all right?
You still need to catch a bus, right?
It's all right.
I have nothing but time.
No, you'll miss your ride.
Let me walk with you.
All right.
Please stop here.
Zhou Can...
How long have we known each other?
More than eight years.
Almost nine years.
Such a long time.
Yes, it's been a long time.
I'm leaving now.
In the future...
please take good care of yourself.
You, too.
Goodbye
Never see you again
How many lovers end from its appearance?
The last look
One side every day
Our goodbye has a completely different meaning
Goodbye
Never see you again
I'm leaving.
The time I spend with you, emerged with great force
Never see each other again
Can't bear to meet
The time I spent with you, went back to the beginning
Back to the day we met

[I'm so sorry, but my laptop broke down, so I need to use yours.]
[Just be careful. Next time keep copies of important documents.]

Who is ZC?
[Please remember to change your password. I'm so sorry.]
[Or I'll have some alcohol and forget the password when I wake up.]
How could I forget?

Okay. Here.
Could you help us and scan the QR code?
- You can get coupons from our supermarket.
- No, thanks.
Please, please do us a favor.
It won't take long. It's very easy.
It looks complicated. I don't know how to do it.
Please allow me.
Okay.
It's done, thank you.
- You're welcome. Thank you.
- Thank you.
[New message from Zhou Can.]
[Shopping Market Advertising Code]
[Use code xtcsdsd]
[Zhou Can: ?]
[Is it a virus?]
[No, sorry to bother you.]
[How have you been?]
[Good.]
[I'm getting married next week.]
[Congratulations. Wishing you a blissful marriage.]
[I will skip sending a red envelope, just in case it's too thick to count.]
- Thanks.
- Thanks.
This way, please.
It's so cute.
- Congratulations! Congratulations!
- Welcome. Welcome here.
Congratulations!
Happy wedding.
Come and greet Uncle.
- How old is he?
- Half past three years old.
Next, the bride and the bridegroom will exchange their love tokens.
Please put the ring gently on the ring finger of the left hand of your lover.
Please lock your love with this ring.
Okay, our handsome bridegroom, you can hug your beautiful bride now.
So warm and sweet.
Okay, ladies and gentlemen, welcome the bridegroom's friend to make a toast.
Let's welcome him with applause!
As the startup partner of the bridegroom,
[It's a mess now. My friend said he'd arrange the dedication and now might miss it.]
[That scared me. I thought you were requesting I speak.]
[I wouldn't dare.]
[Just kidding. All the best. Live to an old age in conjugal bliss.]
Today, right here,
I've promised to him that I would not cry.
So, I must keep the promise.
Because... I have nothing to regret.
I value the beautiful memories more than anything.
They come rushing in, asking for an opening speech.
I used to think the most beautiful journey in the world
is the one within the heart of a lover.
Every step I took toward him was accompanied with sweetness.
However, I understand now,
the most beautiful journey in the world
is all the ordinary days that we spent with our lovers.
The days with ups and downs,
hatred and love...
weakness and helplessness...
or even... anger...
despair...
To be in a relationship is like taking a test with no correct answers.
We can only clumsily explore.
We learn by repeatedly falling in love with the other person...
and repeatedly falling in love with ourselves.
We make mistakes and feel disappointed.
But we fight for it.
Those days won't disappear.
Zhou Can, every step we took together in the past
has proved, that we've truly, sincerely,
lived our best lives.
That's why we could be better.
Today, right here,
I've promised him that I would not cry...
because I have nothing to regret.
All your dreams are still reflected in your eyes
You are the sweetest imprint I've ever had in my life
It was also the time when I was powerless to say goodbye
If the story is doomed to be exchanged for pain and suffering
I am ready to go where fate takes me
Oh, by the way, you forgot to sign.

Be happy...
Zhou Can.
She left his world with great difficulty
The lights are dim and there are crowds of people
One city, two young people
We used to be the only one for each other
Those years were happy and simple, she took them seriously
I fantasized about spending the rest of my life with him
If time could stand still
Cherish what you have now, tomorrow and the future
She said she'd wait for him, even if the world was against him
She loves him still, he was not the only one who invested
The day we met, hand in hand with destiny
Running wildly towards happiness
If there were no separation, our ending would be eternal
Her meeting him always hurt too much
Then came regret, realizing their stupidity
He and she can only acquiesce that the past
has long taken root in their hearts,
all these years together her script with his
I once held his gentle hand and hugged him
at the intersection
A rainbow in the sky after the rain
Originally he said he invested everything, and it's no excuse
I will always be by her side without reservation
She said she'd wait for him, even if the world was against him
She loves him still, he was not the only one who invested
The day we met, hand in hand with destiny
Running wildly towards happiness
If there were no separation, our ending would be eternal
Her meeting him always hurt too much
Then came regret, realizing their stupidity
He and she can only acquiesce that the past
has long taken root in their hearts,
all these years together her script with his
His smiling face, the wish he once made
will drift away with the wind
Continue to reminisce or move forward,
or maybe we'll never see each other again
She waited for news, the only one who was by his side
was not here, but she can grow old with him
Not every encounter will have a happy ending
Don't say sorry, be grateful for meeting one another
Walking in the sea of people without him,
there are still four seasons
