Xiao-long.
If you're a real man, then call her now.
Ask her out.
Sure! I'll call her!
I have to tell Ye Zhen-zhen
how much I love her.
She's the reason for all my hard work.
Hello?
Hello, Ye Zhen-zhen?
Xiao-long?
What a coincidence.
It's you who picked up the phone.
It seems like fate is at work between us!
Why are you rambling? Are you drunk?
Although I am stammering,
I'm still very sober right now.
Listen.
I have to tell you something.
Something I should've told you long ago.
How much have you had to drink?
You drank way too much.
Hello?
Hello, Xiao-long. Hello?
Hello?
Your friend passed out.
Oh, come on.
Where are you? I'll pick him up.
Che, you're back.
I borrowed a new game.
Want to play with me?
Sure.
That was close. I almost died.
-Where's your sister?
-She
She just left the house not long ago.
Xiao-long called for her.
It seems like he's drunk.
And then
she went out to save him.
Save him?
It's a wonder
she's not the one to be saved.
So, your sister went alone.
-Can she handle it?
-Who knows?
My sister becomes a different person
when she gets drunk.
Who knows what Xiao-long is like
when he gets drunk.
For the safety of passers-by,
I'll go check them out.
Did she say where she's going?
Of course she did. House rule
number two in the Ye family.
Always tell others
where you're going at night.
However
I kind of want
to get a new game lately.
Don't mess around.
Lin Xiao-long.
Lin Xiao-long.
Lin Xiao-long.
Why are you this drunk?
Zhen-zhen.
Zhen-zhen, you're here after all.
What else can I do?
Leave you here like this?
You still care about me, right?
Not at all. I just don't want to see you
get in trouble when you're drunk
and risk getting arrested.
That would only cause us more trouble.
Let me warn you,
there won't be a next time.
Let's go.
If
If you leave me alone,
I'd be very sad.
Do you know why I've worked so hard?
It's because I hope that someday
I can also be a super salesman
so that you'd be impressed.
I know that.
I can see that you're working hard.
Really?
Then Chen won't be the only one
who gets all your attention, right?
So, you're the famous Ye Zhen-zhen.
Nice to meet you.
And you are?
Hello.
My name is Guo Sheng-tai.
I work for Mr. Wang.
These days Xiao-long has been
taking care of our stocks.
Xiao-long, finish the medicine.
Here.
Please excuse him.
You're his client,
but it's you taking care of him.
I should be the one to apologize.
I asked Xiao-long to drink with me.
I didn't know he'd get drunk this easily.
-Don't worry. I'll get him home safely.
-You don't have to.
I can take him home.
You're just a girl.
How are you going to get him home?
Let me help you.
Xiao-long, get up.
Xiao-long, get up.
Careful.
Ye Zhen-zhen.
-Why are you here?
-I was looking for you two.
This is Xiao-long's client.
His name is Guo Sheng-tai. Mr. Guo.
-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you, too.
One of the ten most wanted fugitives,
Guo Sheng-tai,
was arrested in Bangkok yesterday.
He's now under escort,
being extradited to Taiwan.
He was charged with multiple crimes
Chen Che.
Chen Che.
Sorry.
We'll take care
of Xiao-long ourselves.
Ye Zhen-zhen, let's go.
Sorry about this!
Don't look back.
What's wrong with you?
You were very rude back there.
Mr. Guo is a very important client
of Xiao-long.
He treats him well.
He's not a good guy.
Tell Xiao-long to stay away from that guy
when he wakes up.
How do you know? Do you know him?
I don't need to know him
to see right through him.
Why is that?
Intuition.
Like how I rushed here
because I knew you'd need me.
I just know things. Stop wondering.
So did he mean that
he and I are connected
and that he knows it when I need him?
Does that count as a confession?
Chen Che.
What's wrong with you?
You haven't spoken a word
since we took Xiao-long home.
Did Guo-an tell you
I went to look for Xiao-long?
Were you worrying about me?
Or were you worried about Xiao-long?
Or both of us?
-Hey.
-I was serious back there.
Guo Sheng-tai is not a good guy.
Don't ask me why.
Just stay away from him.
Same with Xiao-long.
Every one of you should keep a distance.
Stay away from him as far as you can.
Why are you talking nonsense like that?
You're getting involved
in Xiao-long's work.
Although I am easily influenced,
at least tell me
why I should believe you.
Just do as I say. Stay away from him.
You
What's wrong with you?
So stubborn.
How should I explain to her
how dangerous Guo Sheng-tai is?
The butterfly effect
Grandpa worried about
already influenced Zhang Shun-fa.
I can't interfere with history again.
But I can't just watch a dangerous person
come around and do nothing about it.
Especially
when Zhen-zhen is in danger.
What are you thinking?
What should I do to keep Zhen-zhen
and Xiao-long away from Guo Sheng-tai?
Will I interfere with history
if I only give them hints?
Are you
jealous of me and Xiao-long?
What's wrong with you?
You're acting really weird.
If you think
I should not go out
just because Xiao-long called,
If you're worried that
I can't handle this by myself
you can just tell me.
Why are you sulking like this?
Is it that hard to admit
that you care about someone
and have someone in mind?
You're thinking too much.
Fine.
You're afraid to admit it.
But I'm not.
I've had feelings for you for a long time.
You must have known that.
I treat you very differently.
I know you also do the same.
I can feel it.
We're both adults
and we're both single.
It's normal to have feelings
for each other.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Is it really that hard
to admit that you like me?
No way.
We're not from the same world.
How can we be together?
What are you saying?
What makes you think I like you?
But
you're so nice to me.
We even put up
the Christmas lights together.
-We also
-I'm nice to you.
But I'm also nice to other people.
I knew that you came to pick Xiao-long up.
I am here because I was afraid
you wouldn't be able to handle it.
You're always like this.
Always careless,
always clumsy.
If I weren't there,
it'd still be my obligation
if you caused any trouble.
So
So, you have no feelings for me?
Say something.
No. I don't have feelings for you.
It was all a misunderstanding.
No feelings at all
not even a bit?
-So
-So, please set yourself straight.
I don't have feelings for you.
I didn't have feelings for you before
or even now.
It won't happen in the future either.
Being in a relationship
is not as easy as you think.
Please don't continue to anticipate this.
We
will never be together.
I'm sorry.
I needed to be cruel enough
to make you give up.
If you don't give up now,
you'll only be more devastated
when I'm gone someday.
Hello, Mr. Ye.
You look disappointed.
I'm not.
I'm just surprised that someone
would knock at this hour.
I brewed a pot of tea.
Would you like to join me?
Sure.
Chen Che.
You've lived here for quite some time.
-Is everything alright?
-Yes.
Everyone's nice to me
and treats me well.
There was a saying,
"It's fate that brings people together."
You live in our house
and also happen to get along so well
with Guo-an and Zhen-zhen.
That means we're connected by fate.
And I
treat you like my own son.
I never see you as an outsider.
And you?
Do you see us as your own family?
Of course.
You're all nice to me.
I've always treated you like family.
That's great.
Then
I'll be frank with you.
To be honest with you, I remember
every single suit that I've made.
The suit that you have
is indeed my work.
But the fabric
I don't recall having that fabric.
You said you asked a friend
to come to the store instead.
To be honest,
I don't believe it.
Then maybe I was mistaken.
Perhaps my friend had that suit
tailored at another place.
But the technique
happened to be similar to yours.
All right.
I'll believe you
no matter what you tell me.
Letting you live in our house shows
that I have some kind of trust in you.
I hope that one day
you'll also trust me.
It's getting cold lately.
Let me know if you need more blankets.
Don't catch a cold again.
I don't have feelings for you.
I didn't have feelings for you before
or even now.
It won't happen in the future either.
Please don't continue to anticipate this.
We
will never be together.
Okay. Thirty five shares
on President Enterprises Corporation.
Okay, thank you.
Look at this, lots of big clients
are asking for Xiao-long today.
That used to be Li-jing
and Che's territory.
I'm so envious.
Getting big business by having
a few drinks with a client.
Unlike us, we can't succeed
no matter how hard we try.
Our records are like
pocket change to him.
-How do you know he drank with a client?
-Can't you tell?
He smells like alcohol
and looks hung over.
What could he have possibly done
other than drink?
Stop being so sarcastic.
Xiao-long isn't like that.
He was helped by a benefactor.
Where's my benefactor then?
Sure, no problem.
Drink hot tea. See if it helps.
This is the first time
you made tea for me.
Say that again.
I haven't even told you
what happened last night.
You know you can't drink
but still got wasted.
-What if something happens?
-No way. Besides, you got my back.
Thank you for picking me up yesterday
and getting me home.
Yesterday,
Chen Che also came to help.
Him again? He just won't go away.
He's so obnoxious.
I wouldn't be able to get you home
if it weren't for his help.
Anyway, don't ever drink like that again.
Also, you talked about a guy
who introduced you to new clients,
-Was it that Mr. Guo from yesterday?
-You met him?
Isn't he a nice guy?
He was nice,
but are you sure he's clean?
Why are you asking?
Nothing.
I was just wondering about his motive
of helping you for no apparent reason.
You better be careful.
He's Mr. Wang's assistant.
Didn't he give you a break when you
placed the wrong orders last time?
He was trained by Mr. Wang.
I can trust him.
But
Mr. Wang is a big shot.
Mr. Guo works for him,
so he knows lots of big bosses.
When he said
he'll introduce me to them,
I thought he was bluffing.
But he kept his words.
Not only did he do this for free,
he even gave me a cell phone.
All for free?
He also wants to introduce
other bosses to my colleagues.
I thought of you right away.
But Chen Che asked us
to stay away from him and to be cautious.
Chen Che again?
Xiao-long.
Don't be like this.
I know it sounds strange.
I don't know why he'd say that.
But he's been right every time.
That's also a fact.
The truth is he envies my performance,
so he sabotages me in the back.
-He wants to be the only super salesman.
-He is not that kind of person.
You know me well.
My good intentions
become conspiracies to him.
You've known me for years.
Don't you trust me?
It's because that you are
one of my best friends
that I must remind you
to always be alert.
You're also my best friend.
So, I hope you'll have good sales
like me and make lots of money.
It was my fault yesterday.
But
please don't turn me down
if you still consider me as a friend.
Will you stay away from alcohol
if I come with you?
Of course.
You don't have to worry about that.
Wan-ling.
About Ya-juan,
can we give her more freedom
to make her own decisions?
Did she ask you to plead for her?
She'll never ask me to plead for her.
I just think that
we as parents
shouldn't try to dictate
what makes our child happy.
Do we have to be so against
Ya-juan's choice?
Although I can't guarantee
if she'll live a happy life
in the future
I must keep her away
from any mishaps.
But she's happy
when she's with Li Jin-qin.
She's young. She knows nothing
about true happiness.
Tell me if she's happy
when she lives a hard life
and troubled by a useless husband
when she can't come back for help.
Do you still think she will be happy then?
Life may be hard for her,
but she's happy with it.
Money can't buy happiness.
What about Li Jin-qin's family?
That should be
enough reason to reject him.
Do you really want Ya-juan
to spend the rest of her life
in a family like that?
I know you really love her.
But her happiness now
is only temporary.
I'm her mother.
What I care about
is her lifelong happiness.
If Wan-ling's rejection leads
to Ya-juan's misfortune in the future
then, as a father,
should I be doing something?
But I think
that I better not
change the future at this point.
Not only that,
my interference could be the reason
that changes her future.
What should I do?
I just warned Chen Che
about the danger of the butterfly effect.
But my thoughts
could also change the future
unintentionally.
-So, you don't have feelings for me?
-No.
I don't. It was all a misunderstanding.
I will believe you
no matter what you tell me.
Letting you live in our house shows
that I have some kind of trust in you.
I hope that one day
you'll trust me.
Mr. Ye trusts me so much.
I wish didn't have to lie to him.
But I can't tell him the truth.
Should I
consider moving out?
Zhen-zhen.
Xiao-long?
What brings you here?
Mr. Guo has a dinner with people
from the architecture union.
There'd be many big bosses present.
He wants to introduce us to them.
Join us.
Don't worry, Miss Ye.
There'd be big bosses
and many investors and landowners.
It's a good chance to know people.
Well
-then I
-Hang on.
She won't go with you.
You can leave now.
-I was asking Zhen-zhen, not you.
-I'm sorry.
She's doing something with me tonight.
She's not available.
Just leave.
What do you want to say?
Didn't I tell you to stay away
from Mr. Guo?
Tell me now, whatever it is.
That's right.
What are you hiding?
You're so suspicious.
Is it wrong to introduce
Zhen-zhen to clients?
I'm the one who introduces
Zhen-zhen to clients.
No need to trouble Mr. Guo.
Let me remind you, Xiao-long.
Don't go astray.
Choose clients wisely.
-What do you mean by that?
-Xiao-long.
It's all right.
So, you are saying that
I'm not a good client?
I didn't say that. But please
stay away from my friends.
Don't cross the line, Che! You told
Zhen-zhen to keep a distance from me.
Now you want to play me off against Guo.
What now? Are you afraid of me
beating you and taking her away?
You know, you're not the only one
who can succeed.
So can I.
That's enough.
Che didn't mean it that way.
I'm not interested in being successful.
I just don't want my friends
to be in danger.
That's all.
Let's go.
Let me go.
I'm sorry.
We're only colleagues.
I can't always rely on you
to introduce clients to me.
Mr. Guo, please go with Xiao-long first.
I'll be right there after I get dressed.
Ye Zhen-zhen.
No problem, take your time.
See you later, Zhen-zhen.
I'll save you a seat next to me!
Let's go.
Ye Zhen-zhen, listen to me.
Ye Zhen-zhen.
-Ye Zhen-zhen, listen to me.
-Why are you so mean to Xiao-long?
He's just helping me in his own way.
You who can become a super
salesman so easily
won't ever understand our struggle.
That Guo Sheng-tai is extremely dangerous.
Never have contact with him.
Do you know him more than Xiao-long?
Or do you know any of his secrets?
I don't know him.
-But--
-Why do you think he's dangerous?
Mr. Guo is Mr. Wang's assistant.
You also know Mr. Wang, don't you?
Xiao-long knew Mr. Guo because of you.
Every tiny change you make
will have
an enormous impact on the future.
So
this is all
because of me?
Because of my involvement,
Zhang Shun-fa hit his wife.
My relationship with Mr. Wang
led Guo Sheng-tai to you.
What on earth are you saying?
I'm gonna get dressed.
Xiao-long is waiting.
Listen to me. You can't go.
Why should I listen to you? Didn't you say
you don't have feelings for me?
Not before, not now
and not in the future.
What makes you think
you can control me?
I'm doing this for your safety.
Stop being so stubborn.
You only want us to be friends,
but you want to control everything I do.
This kind of behavior
can only be seen in couples.
Don't you think you're selfish?
He's a wanted criminal.
Guo Sheng-tai
is a wanted criminal.
A wanted criminal?
What crimes did he commit then?
Why would he go out like that
if he really is a wanted criminal?
He even came to my house.
He's not a criminal now,
but he will be in the future.
In the future?
What are you saying?
Do you think I am a fool?
I'm telling you the truth.
I know that Guo Sheng-tai
will become a wanted criminal.
Like I knew the closing index of stocks.
Just like how I know there'd be
survivors after the earthquake.
I can't explain
because you won't believe me.
How can I if you won't tell me?
Fine.
Because Guo Sheng-tai
will be arrested
in Thailand in 2016.
That's the reason
I want you to stay away from him.
What did you say?
2016?
That's in the future.
How could you possibly know?
Because I came from 2016.
I'm from the future.
I'm sorry.
I thought you were smart.
I didn't expect you to say
something absurd like that.
I know I'm not smart.
But even so,
I can tell that's your excuse
to reject me.
If you don't like me,
then leave me alone.
Don't tell me that you worry about me.
Don't sympathize with me.
That would only make me feel worse.
I'm telling you the truth.
I shouldn't be here, but I'm here.
I need to go back
-but I didn't--
-Stop lying!
I don't like you! Are you happy now?
Stop making absurd excuses like this.
Why don't tell me that you are an alien?
Let go of me.
Take your hands off me.
What are you doing?
Let me prove it.
Let go of me, Chen Che!
What do you want?
Let me go, Chen Che!
What are you doing?
Let me go!
Stop!
What are you doing?
Look at the date.
Look at it.
See?
This is a cell phone.
This is what Xiao-long's big
handheld phone looks like in 2016.
It's a cell phone that can take pictures
and connect to Internet.
This is the reason why I know
the closing index of the stock market
or about the survivors in the earthquake.
This is why I know that Guo Sheng-tai
will become a criminal.
This suit explains why
your father doesn't recall
that it was made by him.
Because in 1989,
I wasn't even born yet.
Now you know
why I needed to reject you.
My God.
I will be 50 by then.
I'm so old.
Ye Zhen-zhen.
Why are you worrying about that?
I just told you
I traveled back in time from 2016.
Because you're so young
in 2016.
But in 2016, I'll be 50 years old.
Then
can I ask you a question?
If you weren't from the future
will you like me?
If there were no obstacles
between us
would you like me?
I'm relieved.
I'm really relieved.
Why would you be relieved?
It means I'm good enough for you.
Good enough?
Am I not?
You must like me a lot
to try this hard not to lie to me.
That's why you told me the truth.
I'm sure that you like me.
It's not just me, right?
Stop flattering yourself.
Go look at yourself in the mirror.
Crying and laughing at once.
It's all because of you.
That must be Xiao-long.
I'll go pick it up.
If I could choose
I would rather 2016 doesn't exist.
Just let me be
the Chen Che in 1989.
Hello? Zhen-zhen?
Why are you still home?
I
Sorry, Xiao-long.
I won't be there.
Why is that?
It's nothing.
It's because
Two people can be so close
despite being 27 years apart.
