Didn't you ask me
how much I love Ya-juan?
I won't just do the talking.
I'll prove it to you.
I used to think Zhong-en is my dad,
even though this answer is infuriating,
but at least he loves Mom.
But now, my dad's real identity
is a mystery again.
Would it still be meaningful
to look into it some more?
I think that we've
misunderstood Zhong-en.
Chen Che,
can you take me to Ya-juan?
I want to tell her in person
that no matter what happened,
I want to face it with her.
All right.
You will be a good dad.
Let's go find Ya-juan.
Okay.
Really talk to her.
I know she's been waiting for you.
I'm sorry.
I couldn't be there for you
when you were in pain.
I'm not the same person you knew before.
-No matter what happened
-There's nothing to discuss.
-We are finished.
-Listen to me!
When I asked you
why you would like me,
do you remember what your answer was?
No matter what they say
or how they see me,
it's only because they don't know
the Jin-qin you know.
I feel the same for you.
No matter what happened to you,
my feelings will never change.
This is my secret
and you know all about it.
Because of you,
no matter how horrible my past was,
I will no longer be afraid.
Because you've accepted me
unconditionally.
You will be by my side forever.
I think the same of you.
It's different.
-I'm already
-I know!
The pain you've suffered
is a thousand times worse
than what I've been through.
This pain
might take a very long time
to subside.
It could take your whole life.
But that doesn't matter.
Didn't we agree
to be together until the end?
You've still got me.
Just like how you've been by my side,
let me make you better.
Will you give me another chance, please?
It's Jin-qin.
Looks like the storm is over for them.
Really? How did you make that happen?
Thank you both
for taking care of Ya-juan.
I am now Ya-juan's boyfriend
and a father.
Taking care of Ya-juan is my priority.
So I want to move Ya-juan
somewhere else.
There's no rush.
Ya-juan can stay for as long as she needs.
It's totally fine.
Zhen-zhen,
thank you so much.
But Ya-juan's belly
will be real big soon.
Staying at your house
isn't the best idea.
I think what Ya-juan needs the most
is to feel secure.
I want to give her a home.
A home for us
and for our child.
I was about to talk to you about this.
Let's find a place and talk.
Li Jin-qin. Why is he here at the office?
He doesn't even come say hi.
Aren't we brothers?
They must've been hiding secrets from me.
What a luxurious mansion!
So big and pretty.
Chen Che, can we really stay here
without paying anything?
I have a client
who will spend at least six months abroad,
so he needs a housekeeper.
He agreed that you can stay here for free
only if you take care of the house.
Seriously? That simple?
I helped him make some money on stocks.
He won't collect rent from me.
That's great! Now you have your own home.
Chen Che,
I really don't know how to thank you.
You take care of Ya-juan.
That's already enough.
I definitely will.
Come on, let me show you around.
This is the kitchen.
Three bedrooms upstairs.
Choose whichever one you like.
-Let's talk soon.
-Okay, no problem.
Zhong-en, are you making a business deal?
I'm going to sell this place.
-You're selling it? Why, Zhong-en?
-I'm immigrating to the US.
Why couldn't you have told us
a bit earlier, Zhong-en?
We've had so many memories here.
What happens to our memories
once you sell this place?
Our youth will all be a waste.
-Please--
-All good stories end.
Even the best of friends
will have to go down their own paths.
All right,
but you could've told me sooner.
We are the Golden Team of Five!
I'm really out of touch
with you guys right now.
Now Chen Che wants to trick me,
and Jin-qin is being weird.
What happened to Jin-qin?
When I left the office today,
Jin-qin was there
for Zhen-zhen and Chen Che.
I don't know
why they're so secretive.
They left without saying hi.
Come on. Let's have a drink.
Two heartbroken men
could comfort each other.
Are you going through a breakup?
Why have I never heard that from you?
Who was it?
And
what's with that wound on your face?
Talk to me, Zhong-en.
I'm out of touch with everything.
It's really annoying!
I'm losing my hair because of this.
Zhen-zhen.
Ya-juan, there you are.
Here's your personal stamp.
Thank you for bringing me this.
Long time no see, Ya-juan.
-You're here!
-How's it going?
Ya-juan,
fancy seeing you here for Zhen-zhen.
We're good friends! Anything wrong?
Oh, you're here just in time.
Let's go to Zhong-en's restaurant tonight
for his farewell party.
Farewell party?
Yeah, it's the last day
Zhong-en's restaurant is open.
Don't you know?
Ya-juan is busy tonight.
But Zhong-en is leaving tomorrow.
Immigrating to the States.
He's never coming back.
It's our last chance to see him.
-Ya-juan!
-Xiao-long. Say no more.
-No, this is--
-Xiao-long. Zhong-en and I aren't friends.
Please send him
my best wishes.
Why? Aren't we the Golden Team of Five?
We would all be sad
if any one of us is missing,
won't we?
Why are you guys being so cold lately?
-Ya-juan.
-Ya-juan.
Didn't I tell you to stop?
What have you guys been up to lately?
I just don't get you guys.
-I'll tell you later.
-Zhen-zhen.
Xiao-long.
Mr. Guo, what brings you here today?
I need to talk to you.
All right, this way, please.
Good morning, Mr. Guo.
THE NORTH STAR RESTAURAN
Where is everyone's team spirit?
You took care of everyone so well,
but they wouldn't even come
to your farewell party.
Maybe because of Chen Che.
As soon as he showed up,
the Golden Team of Five
started to fall apart.
It's because of me.
Stop sticking up for them.
All right!
Lin Xiao-long will go all out
and drink with my brother
until we're plastered.
We will walk out of here swaying!
Drink until the end!
Zhong-en.
Come here and punch me
while you still can.
Li Jin-qin, are you out of your mind?
Why would you want him to punch you?
I'm sorry.
That day, I misunderstood you
and hit you.
You can punch me back now.
If one punch isn't enough,
you can punch me a few more times.
Are we still friends?
For sure.
Thank you.
Even though I said those things
and did those things,
you still want to be friends with me.
Thank you.
We should thank you, too.
The sacrifices you made
for Ya-juan
Yeah, Zhong-en.
You must've felt terrible
when we distanced ourselves from you
all these days.
It's fine now.
Wait wait a minute.
Why can't I understand
a single word you are saying?
I like Ya-juan.
You like Ya-juan?
Because I liked her too much
I almost made Ya-juan break up with him.
Thank God they're back together now.
So, this is why you guys have been
so weird lately.
You guys all knew that already?
We didn't mean to hide it from you.
Even Chen Che knew.
He has already taken you from me.
Now he's even taking
my place among you guys?
Fine.
Xiao-long, why are you upset?
No one can take your place.
Lin Xiao-long,
you are one of the Golden Team of Five.
Xiao-long,
we've never tried to shut you out.
We were just waiting for the right time.
You will always be
the Golden Team of Five.
No one is left out.
Zhen-zhen is right.
No one will be left out.
I'm sorry.
I apologize for being careless.
All right. Come on.
Drink up
Come, let's drink.
Thanks.
Cheers for the Golden Team of Five!
Cheers!
Cheers
Hello
Mr. Li. Yes
Right now?
But I have a few things to take care of.
Okay, I'll be there as soon as I can.
Okay. Goodbye.
It's fine.
Go if you have business to take care of.
But tonight is your farewell party.
I should be
I've known you for a long time.
Even after I move,
it's not going to affect our friendship.
Go on.
Then I'll go take care of my business
and be right back.
Do you want to see Ya-juan
one last time?
I think
Ya-juan wouldn't want to see me
for the rest of her life.
Let us help you.
What's wrong?
You're not yourself today.
Nothing.
I had a weird feeling right
when you were dragging me out earlier.
I'm worried that if you
stay indoors all day,
you'll be bored.
So I thought you could use a break
and go on a date as well.
Right Zhen-zhen,
thank you for setting this up for us.
Why haven't I seen Chen Che all day?
It's rare for you
not to be around Chen Che.
I I'm not the clingy type.
I am
an independent woman in the new era.
Goodbye Ya-juan.
Leaving so soon?
I've already seen Ya-juan's smile.
With you guys by her side
I think she will get well soon.
Thank you for setting this up.
I have no regrets.
Ya-juan is blessed to have
a brother like you.
I almost forgot.
This is what I found
at the site of Ya-juan's accident.
This is a luxury lighter.
It's very rare.
I was thinking
this might be connected to
the actual suspect.
-Why are you bringing me here?
-Just come. You'll understand why soon.
-No!
-Come on.
Chen Che!
What's this?
There's a secret hidden in this house,
and you'll have to find it.
Jin-qin wrote this?
Just follow the instructions on it.
Okay.
One, two, three,
four, five, six,
seven.
Turn right and upstairs.
This way.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight.
Do you like it?
Although the place is temporary,
this will be our first home.
Our first
first home?
Look, isn't this cute?
And these books, too.
We're both first-time parents.
There are a lot of things
for us to learn together.
If there's anything else
you think you need,
let me know.
I'll go buy them.
Don't worry.
I found several other tutoring jobs,
so don't worry about the money.
Now you just have to take care of yourself
and give birth to our child safely.
Thank you.
Silly
I'm the one who should be thanking you.
Thank you for giving me another chance
to bring you happiness.
Ya-juan.
Last time, I almost lost you.
This time, I will not let you leave me,
no matter what.
Marriage License
I want to be Chen Juan's husband
and the father of our child.
I want to give you a home.
Ya-juan
will you
marry me?
Here.
No.
I have been disappointing my mother
for being so wayward.
I can't accept your proposal
under these circumstances.
Ya-juan.
Say yes to him.
Dad!
Mom!
Your father was right.
I'll lose my only daughter
if I keep insisting my ways on you.
Ya-juan
Mom forgives you.
Mom!
Greetings, Auntie.
Say what you want to say and leave.
Auntie.
Would you please let me
take care of Ya-juan's future?
Please.
Your blessings
are very important to Ya-juan and me.
How can I trust
a father without blood relations
to love his nonbiological child?
You are deep in love,
so you think it'll be fine.
What about later?
When you have your own child with Ya-juan,
will you still love
this illegitimate child?
I will.
-How will you prove that to me?
-I
Go home. I will not agree to this.
Wan-ling.
What if I swear
I would never have another child?
This child
will be the only child of Ya-juan and me.
I will give him all my love.
Please trust me.
I love Ya-juan very much.
I will work hard
to give them happiness.
Ya-juan.
Dad wants to tell you
even though what has happened
cannot be changed
one's mind can be changed.
Good or bad lies in one's choice.
Fortunate or not,
it might all look different
from a different angle.
Remember your decision today.
From this moment,
you're not only a daughter
but a mother
and a wife.
I know.
Chen Ya-juan
marry me.
Thank you.
That's great!
Chen Che, New Year's Eve is tomorrow.
This will be the last dinner at our home
before Ya-juan gets married.
I know you've been
very helpful to Ya-juan.
If you're free, would you like
to come over for dinner?
Me?
Come.
Jin-qin told me you found us the house.
We owe you so much.
Would you please at least let us
treat you to dinner?
Can I come, too?
Can I?
Ye Zhen-zhen, your family has rules.
You should be home for New Year's Eve.
Ya-juan, didn't Zhen-zhen say
that she's an independent woman,
not the clingy type?
She's so deeply in love.
-She doesn't want to be apart from him.
-Ya-juan!
All right. So tomorrow,
come by for New Year's Eve dinner.
Great! All done.
Let's go hang the couplets later.
I haven't written one
in years.
Dad's still got it.
It looks good!
All right, clean the table if you're done.
-Dinner's ready.
-Okay.
Mom, I'll help you.
No worries. The smoke is harmful to you.
Let me help you.
Sure.
-You can help me.
-Okay.
-Help me wash the vegetables.
-Got it.
Sorry, our range hood stops working
from time to time.
Auntie, I think it'd be better
to get a new range hood.
Health always comes first.
Smoke from cooking
is harmful to your body.
You're right.
Health is more important than money.
Sure, I'll have Guo-zhang
buy a new one after New Year's.
If only Grandma didn't die of lung cancer,
we could have spent more time together
as a family.
Here.
Thank you.
Chen Che, pick anything you like.
Make yourself at home.
Thanks, Professor.
Eat.
Mom.
Grandpa, Grandma, and Mom.
This is the first dinner
for us as a family.
Chen Che, the first time you visited us,
I remember you liking this dish a lot.
The drunken chicken.
I remember, too.
I also remember you saying
your mom would make this dish every year.
I hope you will like our dishes this year.
I'm sorry.
We don't have a feast for you this year.
No! These are already great.
Right! We've got fish and shrimps
and so many dishes.
Isn't this a feast?
I know that you like
fish heads and fish eyes,
so this dish is all yours.
All right
Ya-juan, Mom prepared
this steamed fish just for you.
You're pregnant,
can't have drunken chicken.
Here, fish is healthy for your body.
Thanks, Mom.
For you and your baby.
Okay.
Seems like it's right
to tell Jin-qin the truth.
Mom,
so glad to see your smile again.
Eat the fish but don't finish it.
You know that?
We'll have a year of abundance.
-Ya-juan!
-Ye Zhen-zhen!
This is the first time
I've ever seen you at my doorstep
on New Year's Eve.
Stop making fun of me.
Your future husband is waiting.
Mine is also waiting for me.
Don't you ever feel shy saying that?
If shyness makes me attractive
so Chen Che likes me more,
I'd consider that.
Come on.
All right, New Year's should be exciting!
Jin-qin has it all ready.
Let's go celebrate the New Year.
-Yay!
-I'll get Chen Che.
This is my house!
Seriously?
Love.
Let me ask you,
if Ya-juan and I fell into a river
but you can only save one of us,
who would you save first?
Fine don't tell me.
I'll save Ya-juan.
And then drown myself.
It's the New Year.
Don't say stuff like that.
I have no choice.
If I can't save you, that's the only way.
I said I will care for my little fox.
Be careful. Sparklers are burning.
I wish
I could be with Chen Che forever.
Never seen anyone wishing upon a sparkler.
Don't you need to wish upon a star?
If a miracle could happen,
I'll try any method to make a wish.
That's because my wish
is a bit more difficult.
When do you think
you'll leave?
I will accept your answer
no matter what you say.
What I know is that there shouldn't be
two of me existing.
So, maybe the moment I am born
is the moment I leave.
A shooting star!
Make a wish.
There really is one! Make a wish.
What wish did you make?
It won't work if you say it.
-All right, my wish is--
-Don't say it
No matter what your wish is
I hope it can be real someday.
Ye Zhen-zhen,
my wish is, whether we're together
in the future or not
I hope you'll always be blessed
and happy.
Almost midnight!
Come, let's count down.
-Quick!
-Sure
Okay.
Five, four,
three, two,
one.
Happy New Year!
The year 1990.
The year of my birth is here.
My time of return is also counting down.
Who was the one that actually hurt Mom?
What kind of person is my real dad?
Should I even investigate further?
Separated by a distance of 27 years,
yet two individuals can be so close.
