1
Everything that we believe
to be an incident
is actually an inevitability of fate.
Just like in the cosmos,
dimensions that you may believe
to be separated,
though you may not know when,
can still become intertwined.
Okay, Dad.
Can your theories wait for a second?
I have a couple of English questions
to ask first.
Otherwise, my English won't be
good enough.
And that will turn into an inevitability.
All right, then I'll leave you two here,
and I'll go water the flowers.
Chen Che, over here.
Have a seat.
Take a look at this.
For example,
I think the way these two sentences
are translated isn't very clear.
Grandpa and Mom,
it seems they are doing all right now.
What in the world happened
to this family?
How did it end
with Mom not going to study abroad
and losing contact
with Grandpa and Grandma?
Here you go.
Are you satisfied now?
The fact is you were just skeptical.
Lin Xiao-long.
Don't you know being overly suspicious
doesn't suit you?
Ye Zhen-zhen.
How long have you two known each other?
-Over a month.
-And how long have we known each other?
Like five years.
You're angry at me
over someone you've only known a month.
That really hurts.
Xiao-long.
I don't like being like this.
I really don't care
who does what with whom.
But where did he come from?
So many things about Chen Che are unclear.
How can I not be cautious?
If this man really has problems
and living in your house,
isn't that dangerous?
I'm just really worried about you.
Xiao-long.
He's been weird all day.
I don't know why he wants to meet.
You have no idea why,
-but you're involved?
-No idea about what?
He likes you.
Xiao-long.
Am I the reason why
you've been acting so weird lately?
Ye Zhen-zhen,
haven't you figured out my point yet?
There are lots of con artists
these days.
It's not that I'm skeptical,
but I don't want to take risks.
I can't wait till it's too late
and regret not doing my duty
to protect you,
your parents, and Guo-an.
Of course. You're worried about all of us.
And I thought
Thought what?
Oh, nothing.
Hearing you say this
is really touching.
No wonder my parents like you a lot.
You're really dependable. If only Guo-an
could be half as responsible as you are.
All right, now. We all know
that it was just a misunderstanding now.
Hanging out with him lately,
I assure you Chen Che isn't a bad guy,
and deep down, he's kind, honest.
No need to worry.
All right already.
There's no need to be angry.
You're too serious.
You're truly easygoing.
Can you be the bigger person?
How can I refuse Grandpa?
I've always wanted
to live with my family.
Right now, Mom, Grandpa, and Grandma
are all here.
I should grasp this opportunity.
But why is it that once I think about
leaving the Ye family, I just
Chen Che.
Is your leg getting better?
Why are you just coming back now?
I got tofu pudding with Xiao-long.
Why'd you return so late?
Is it late? It's not that late.
Xiao-long was there. Don't worry.
Why'd he make you walk back alone?
And what about your scooter?
The engine's been acting weird lately.
It's hard to get it running.
Xiao-long was gonna give me a ride,
but I said to take time for himself.
He's not in a good mood.
Chen Che.
Are you still angry at Xiao-long?
If you are,
then I'll apologize on his behalf.
He has good intentions.
He's just worried about me
and doesn't know you well enough.
-That's why--
-If he doesn't know me well
do you think you know me well?
Maybe I don't know you that well
but I do trust you.
We haven't known each other too long.
Why do you trust me so much?
'Cause no matter what,
paying for the damage to my scooter
the 40,000 dollars for Mr. Wang,
or even singing onstage
instead of Jin-qin,
no matter the situation,
you've always done
what you've promised to do.
Xiao-long says
that I'm a swindler magnet,
attracting all kinds of con artists
but after having known you for some time,
I know that you're an exception.
Also, these days, it seems
there's always trouble somewhere,
but we've always resolved it.
I know
that it's all because you're here.
So I really can't think of a reason
why I shouldn't trust you.
We're almost home.
I'm so hungry.
Come on, let's hurry home.
Come on!
Let's go home. Hurry!
Ye Zhen-zhen
I think I know why
I don't want to move into Grandpa's house.
It's because
you are not there.
Hey.
Oh, it's you. I thought it was Chen Che.
So besides me,
you've also told Chen Che to come.
Chen Che is my English tutor.
My mom's friend came to the house today,
so I told him to meet me here.
For questions,
it's easier to ask him in person.
He speaks English well,
he's also smart
he's handsome, and he makes bank.
And also good at basketball.
If I were a girl,
I wouldn't blame Zhen-zhen
for falling in love.
He really is quite outstanding.
Hey, be careful.
Ya-juan, don't tell me you also
Where are you going with this?
Why would I have feelings for him?
So
so, when you go abroad in the future
and you come across an outstanding
and very remarkable young man,
who also confesses his feelings for you,
would you fall for him?
Remarkable young man?
Like if it was Tom Cruise
meeting with me,
I'm sure I would absolutely, totally
turn him down.
You can relax.
What did you bring me here for?
Gourmet cuisine!
-It's Julia Child's master's master's
-It's to get away for a while!
Also
I'm worried someone'll get jealous.
I'm not jealous.
Who hasn't heard of Li Jin-qin,
the prince of guitar, and his popularity?
I'm already used to it.
I'm probably more at ease
if I know you care enough to be jealous.
Silly.
Of course I'd worry.
But I trust you.
Actually
Sometimes I'd wonder
why in the world you even like me.
I'm just a poor boy
who earns a living as a singer.
I don't have a special family background
or even the ability to promise you
a happy future.
So, I really don't know why would a girl
as great as you would like me.
Because
because
no matter how outstanding,
how smart
how rich, or how great
a person's family background is,
they aren't you, Li Jin-qin.
I don't care what they say
or how they look at you.
I know that those people don't know
the side of you I know in my heart.
They also don't understand
how good you are.
Now, is that clear enough for you?
My turn, then.
Nice one, Zhong-en. Catch!
Lin Xiao-long.
How is it that we're this accurate today?
You know when people say,
"You win some, you
you lose some"?
I tend to agree with that
based on personal experience.
But, Zhong-en,
are you also having trouble with girls?
Hey, Zhong-en,
did you know that Ye Zhen-zhen
actually got mad at me over Chen Che?
We've obviously known each other longer.
The longer you've known each other
without going to the next stage,
then it will always remain platonic.
But I don't want to pressure Ye Zhen-zhen.
I'm afraid the more I push,
the more she'll push back,
then we can't even be friends.
So you've decided
to stand next to her and Chen Che
and watch as they
get closer to each other.
Of course not! I will stand between them!
Lin Xiao-long.
When it comes to love,
as long as she isn't married,
there is still a chance.
So what if he's a super salesman?
So what if I don't look as good?
So what if I don't sing as well as him?
I, Lin Xiao-long, am not stupid.
I'm just a late bloomer.
That's the spirit.
Oh, it's almost time.
I need to go back to the restaurant.
You play.
Zhong-en, you can't stay and play with me?
If you go,
then I can only call Li Jin-qin.
I don't want to play
with that "win some" kind of guy.
What do you mean?
Oh, you haven't heard? On our retreat,
Jin-qin came by for Ya-juan.
It was such a surprise.
Gorgeous views, talking hand in hand,
and nobody to disturb.
Looking at them,
I do get envious and a bit jealous
every time I think of it.
I gotta go.
Hey, Zhong-en!
Zhong-en!
-Ya-juan.
-Zhong-en!
-Jin-qin.
-Did I scare you?
Have a seat. A drink?
We're not drinking.
Jin-qin left a few pieces of music here.
We'll be going once he grabs them.
I'll get them.
Ya-juan,
it seems things have been going smoothly
between you and Jin-qin lately.
We
previously, all we did was
keep our feelings to ourselves.
After finding the courage
to express our true feelings,
we've realized that
as long as we're on the same page,
no matter how difficult a situation is,
it's much easier to handle.
And what about your mom?
Isn't she against this relationship?
My mom,
she didn't really say anything.
But actually,
she has been more easygoing lately.
Why?
Maybe because Dad is back.
She's been on him.
Nagging all the time.
Thanks, Zhong-en.
You hurrying home?
Let's go. I'll walk you.
That's not necessary.
I can go home by myself.
-Seems it's starting to rain.
-Oh, really?
If I had a car,
we wouldn't have to get wet.
-I'll wait for the bus with you. Let's go.
-We'll come around next time, Zhong-en.
Let's go. Bye.
Hey, wait up.
Ya-juan. Don't get sick
standing in the rain.
-Thanks, Zhong-en. Bye.
-Thanks, Zhong-en.
Hello, Auntie.
This is Zhong-en.
Have you found the kind of fabric
that I asked about?
It's for my customer.
He took his suit back
and asked that I mend the tears.
Yes, I've seen it.
That really was my work.
But somehow,
I can't find that piece of fabric.
I also have no recollection
of ever stocking that fabric.
Please help me look around some more.
All right, thank you.
Weird. Why can't I find anything?
You just passing the ball to each other?
Why are you two so in sync?
Maybe you can pass it to me
once in a while?
Been waiting a while.
You'll have to peel the oranges yourself.
That's not fair!
You're only peeling them for Chen Che.
I've been ignored.
-Haven't you had enough attention?
-You put your man before your bro!
All right already, Ye Guo-an.
If nobody's passing it to you,
just eat the fruit in front of you.
There's so many.
Eat up. Speak less.
Hey!
Cold stuff isn't good for you.
Take my advice.
Warm milk's better for you.
I've prepared it.
Excuse me.
Chen Che.
-What?
-Go ahead and head to work by yourself.
I'm leaving early.
This early? Where?
My scooter has been acting up lately.
If I leave the house a littler earlier,
I can take it to be fixed.
I'll go with you.
That's not necessary.
You hate being late.
I can do this myself.
If I don't make it in time,
mention this to Bad News Jian.
Bye.
How could she ride straight
into an electric pole?
I have no idea.
If you can crash at a place like this,
you can't ride.
Has the ambulance arrived?
Is she young?
Police have been notified.
My scooter has been acting up lately.
If I leave the house a littler earlier,
I can take it to be fixed.
I can do this myself.
Bye.
Where's the girl?
I don't know.
Maybe the ambulance took her.
-Why don't you ask around?
-Which hospital?
-Calm down, sir.
-Which hospital?
I'm not sure.
I must call her.
Ye Zhen-zhen's number
Phone
Public phone
Chen Che.
Chen Che, what's up with you?
Everything okay?
If you're hurt,
why didn't you go to the hospital?
Go to the hospital?
I didn't get into an accident.
What about the blood?
And I saw your scooter
lying over there.
Why is the scooter there?
It must be because I was in a hurry,
calling somebody
for the girl in the accident
and getting her in the ambulance,
so I didn't park well.
Oh, my scooter
Chen Che
were you frightened by this?
I didn't think
you'd worry about me so much.
Yeah, I'm worried about you.
Worried you're a klutz
and will get hurt.
Worried you won't get stuff done
without me.
I'm even more worried that
I might lose you.
All right,
I'll be more careful from now on.
I'll pay attention.
I won't worry you, okay?
You wipe it off.
Why am I acting so weird?
Why do I care for you so much?
I would hate to part ways with you,
and I'm actually scared to lose you.
That's something I don't understand.
Of course,
all of this is because
I've fallen for you.
Account Registration
Okay.
Note 30 shares on this one.
Quickly, thank you.
China Steel is good.
Consider them.
Yes, this is Ye Zhen-zhen.
Ms. Huang, please hold a second.
Zhen-zhen.
Zhen-zhen.
Sleeping, huh?
I'll do it next time.
If you don't give it to her now,
when will you?
All right, I'll give Ye Zhen-zhen
a nice surprise.
Once she opens her eyes,
she'll see my present for her.
Excuse me, sir, you are?
Hello. I've been tasked by
Mr. Wang to find Chen Che.
Sent by Mr. Wang.
-Where's super sales Chen?
-With a client.
Lin Xiao-long!
Come over here.
Why don't you look into
what Mr. Wang needs?
Fill Chen Che in when he gets back.
Thanks for that.
Hi, my last name is Lin.
-So
-You like that gal, huh?
She's quite a cutie.
Is there something I can help you with?
Here are the registration forms
you requested.
I've included information you asked for.
All that's left is to contact Chen Che.
Thanks.
Ah, yes.
That present in your pocket.
Diamond or gold?
Neither?
It's not some cheap stuff, is it?
For presents,
you should bring the best stuff.
Also, it's a good idea to buy name brands.
What's wrong with cheap gifts?
What do you know?
Ye Zhen-zhen isn't materialistic!
So her name is
Ye Zhen-zhen.
Hey, you should forget about that!
Don't try anything!
Calm down. It's fate that we've met.
Here's my advice.
No matter how she is,
she won't be able to refuse
what her heart desires.
You have a card?
Lin Xiao-long.
Compared to that super sales Chen,
I think we share a deeper connection.
Mr. Wang is always saying he wants
to introduce clients to Chen Che.
How about this?
The next time I see Mr. Wang,
I'll propose to let you handle
some of the clients' stock.
And by stocks, I mean
many shares of stocks.
Thanks.
No need to walk me out.
Bye, everybody.
Xiao-long, I'm leaving now. Bye.
Chen Che! Why did you come back?
Let's go together, then. Come on.
Did you just get back?
I thought you'd go straight home.
Why head back to the office?
Did you come just to pick me up?
Were you scared
because of the accident in the morning?
No way! Don't let it go to your head.
I was just passing by the office
on my way back.
Then
it seems you didn't finish talking
this morning.
What?
Well, in the morning,
when you thought I got into an accident
and you got really nervous
and very worried.
And then
what was it that you wanted to say?
You're so annoying.
Why do you ask so many questions?
Take out your music.
The Walkman.
Which is "Awaken from a Dream"?
The main hit will be
the first song on side A.
Listen to that.
That should answer all your questions.
-Zhen-zhen, long time no see.
-Uncle Li! Long time no see.
Anyone else around?
Your dad?
He brought suits to a client.
I'm looking after the shop.
Oh, I see.
Then help me give this suit jacket
back to him.
That looks familiar.
Stop!
What are you doing?
Sorry. If I hadn't done this,
you wouldn't have stopped.
This is
This suit is of the very same fabric
he asked me to find.
Tell him that I can't help him.
This suit is beyond repair.
Why?
I've been researching for a long time.
This fabric is a very complicated blend.
Apart from the thermal ventilation,
it's also slightly waterproof.
It can't be produced
with what's currently available in Taiwan.
Could it have been imported?
I've been in this industry for years,
and I'm very familiar
with imported fabric.
I've specifically asked
companies overseas.
There are labs that have started
to do research for similar products.
But this will be done in ten years,
at the very least.
Ten years?
That's right.
I also think it's strange,
where this suit came from.
What are you doing?
Dad isn't here yet,
and there are only two drumsticks.
It's fair game for everyone.
Ye Zhen-zhen.
I'm about to have my entrance exam.
Let me replenish some proteins, all right?
Put it back!
Fine, stop your nagging.
Food is ready.
Come.
Come, and let's eat.
Dad, Uncle Li came over
with Chen Che's torn suit jacket.
He found the fabric?
Not yet.
Uncle Li said he's asked around,
local and foreign companies.
Only the foreign companies
are developing similar fabrics,
but they haven't succeeded yet.
What are you saying?
Still being developed?
"Haven't succeeded"?
We have a suit made of that fabric
here right now.
Chen Che,
are you certain that the fabric
from your suit came from our shop?
That fabric was given to me abroad
by a friend in the textiles industry.
Because it's a newly developed sample,
it's not available on the market yet.
But Uncle Li said
that it's still being developed.
Che, you're so cool. You've got fabrics
that haven't even made it to the market.
It's not that.
Even experimental products
need to be tested by somebody.
So that's what it is.
Ask your friend for this.
Because how can I fix it?
Oh, that's right, Dad.
You must have some leftover fabric
from last time.
Isn't all the leftover fabric together?
You want to take a look?
I already have, but I don't have them.
Chen Che.
Are you certain that suit was made here?
That means that I've taken
your measurements.
How come I don't remember that?
That's because
I was abroad during that time,
and a friend of mine was visiting Taiwan.
Same measurements as mine.
So I gave the fabric to him directly
and asked him to take his measurements.
Now I remember!
Last year, there really was a young man
who asked for a suit to be made
for his friend from abroad.
I thought our suits
might have become popular abroad.
Of course it was you!
The point is
how come I have no recollection of that?
Dad, you've made so many suits.
It's impossible to remember
every customer.
Exactly!
You're lucky to have me around.
Do you hear that?
Your significant other is claiming credit.
You should thank your wife immediately
for helping you remember
all the details.
Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
Remember to ask your friend
for this fabric.
I'll give you the suit in a second.
All right, let's eat.
I don't know how much longer
I can keep my secret safe.
How long can I continue
telling these white lies?
Maybe I don't know you well enough yet
but I do trust you.
I'm sorry.
If I could I would really like
to be honest about everything.
Grandpa.
There's one more box.
Wifey, isn't this a little too much?
We won't be able to finish this tonight.
That's what I'm saying.
Nobody here is superhuman.
This will take at least three days.
Why did you make a promise?
Because something came up
for Mrs. Huang.
We can offer some help.
Besides, you can make some allowance.
Isn't that great?
Chen Che.
You came just in time to help us.
Are you going out?
Sorry. I still have something to do.
I have to leave for a while.
Oh, no worries. Go on, then.
Mom
I still have that test tomorrow.
I'm gonna go back to my room and study.
Separated by a distance of 27 years,
yet two individuals can be so close.
