Sorry.

It's okay.

I told you not to run around. Apologize to this gentleman now.

- I'm sorry. - It's okay.

3,646 DAYS

These past days, I've traveled to many places.

From Nanwu to Yihe, then to Beiyu.

I've been everywhere she might have gone.

And suddenly, I realized...

how small her world was,

like a life trapped in a cage.

Sang Yan.

Dian contacted me today.

What did she say?

Say something! What exactly happened?

Don't panic.

She just told me she's safe.

She didn't tell me where she was.

I really wish she left suddenly...

just to get rid of me.

What do you mean by that?

Maybe in those six years away from us,

she bore a lot on her own.

Now, leaving again,

she probably just wants to shoulder it alone once again.

Sometimes, I get mad about the time she was gone.

But who ever thought about what she went through?

What was on her mind back then?

Now, I'm kind of mad at myself

for not finding her and asking her back then.

Is she now...

watching the same night view?

So, Hong Kong has a view just like Nanwu.

Hello, Miss Sang. Please come in.

I'll arrange the innermost room for you.

It gets better sunlight.

THAT PAINFUL MEMORY

SIX YEARS AGO, BEIYU

Yifan, come in.

- Put your things here. - You'll be staying in this room.

- Come. - Come on. Go in.

It's such a mess. Wen Ming!

Come here, now!

Didn't I tell you before to clean up this room?

- I had to study! - Study? You?

You weren't this serious when you took your college entrance exams.

And now you're suddenly a scholar?

It's okay. I'll clean it up myself.

All right then. Shuangjiang, clean this place up yourself.

- And you... - Move.

Wen Ming, come here.

Get over here!

I told you to tidy the room, and you didn't.

- You did it on purpose, didn't you? - I...

Enough.

At least save your son some dignity in front of outsiders.

Fine, you surely know how to save him face.

I hate to criticize you,

but didn't you agree to this before?

You took their money, didn't you?

If she's staying here, what's wrong with me charging a little for it?

I can't even complain a little? Honestly!

Fine, you're always right.

- This is all your fault. - Fine, blame me.

All you two do is argue.

Unbelievable. Be gentle! He's your own son!

Enough. Hurry up.

Let's get to work.

- Help carry this for us. - Alright.

Here, give me those two bags. Give them to me.

Put them on me.

- Aren't they heavy? - It's fine. Don't worry.

Wen Ming is about to graduate from college.

Help him find a job.

Sis, I'm just an office worker.

I'm not in HR.

How am I supposed to arrange anything?

Look at the time! You're still not up?

Hurry. Get out here.

Come on, quickly! Why are you so lazy, girl? Seriously.

Get moving. Come on!

Hurry! What are you afraid of? Come on.

This is your Uncle Che. Say hello to Uncle Che.

Hello, Uncle Che. Sorry for the trouble.

No need to be so formal.

Just treat this as your own home.

Come. Sit down and eat. Ming, go get a chair for her.

Here.

Thank you.

You just brought a chair? Couldn't you grab a bowl, too?

What are you waiting for? Go!

Listen, your Uncle Che writes in his spare time.

Maybe one day, he'll be a bestselling author.

Don't talk nonsense, sis.

No need to be polite. It's true.

Oh, right...

If you have any questions about your studies,

you can ask him.

Just don't bother him too much. You hear me?

Eat up! The dishes are getting cold.

Thank you.

Hurry and eat the egg. It's getting cold.

Yifan, eat the egg. Here.

- Uncle Che. - Shuangjiang.

Sorry. I didn't mean to disturb you.

You're studying?

You never come to ask for help.

Do you know all this?

Now that you've moved in, we're family.

No need to be so polite.

I'm exhausted. You carry the rest of the stuff.

I need to sleep early.

Alright, I won't bother you then.

I live right across from you.

If you need help, just come find me.

Alright?

Get some rest.

You're back, sis. Brother-in-law.

It's so late. You... You're still up?

I just got up to use the bathroom and checked on Shuangjiang's schoolwork.

I'm heading to bed now.

Why did you bring me here?

If you have nowhere else to practice dancing, just...

make do here.

Thank you.

Everyone, let me say a few words.

The college entrance exam is coming up soon.

Choosing the right school is just as important.

So, make sure to carefully check past enrollment records and trends.

Find a university and major you like,

and work hard toward that goal.

If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me,

or discuss it with your family.

- Got it? - Got it!

Alright, keep working.

I will definitely get into Nanwu University.

And I believe you will, too.

Then, let's make a promise.

We'll work hard together and get into Nanwu University together.

I want to go back to Nanwu.

This time, let me go back for you.

GOAL: NANWU UNIVERSITY!

I'll go see you tomorrow.

I'm heading back to Nanwu soon. Don't come over.

When?

Um... Wait until the admission letter arrives, I guess.

That'll be in July.

I've made you take a special trip every time.

It's such a hassle.

How about this?

When the results come out, I'll go over instead.

Alright.

Good night.

NANWU UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSIONS GUIDE

WEN YIFAN: I'M FINE. EVERYTHING'S GOOD

YOU SHOULD FOCUS ON STUDYING DON'T MESS UP NOW

ONCE I GET MY ACCEPTANCE LETTER TO NANWU UNIVERSITY, I'M COMING TO SEE YOU!

Jiang.

Jiang.

Jiang.

What's the matter, Uncle Che?

Well... Can you come help me with something?

- What is it? - Your aunt just called.

She said they ran out of seasoning at the stall.

She asked me to find some and bring it over.

There's too much stuff here. Can you help me out?

What seasoning?

Chicken powder.

There's only tissue paper in here.

Check the top shelf.

They always put things in random places.

Right. Is there any in this bag?

- What are you doing? - Nothing.

- Keep looking. Check the bottom shelf. - Find it yourself, Uncle Che.

Come on. Help me find it.

- Let go of me! - What's that noise?

What are you arguing about?

Sis, brother-in-law. You're back so early? No business today?

Uncle Wen.

- Uncle Che... - Jiang...

Uh, go rest in your room for a while.

Hurry. Go on.

Shuangjiang, listen to your aunt. Go to your room and do your homework.

Look, we run a business all day long. We're so busy.

We're barely home.

So... you need to be obedient to your Uncle Che.

Alright, that's enough. Go to your room.

Go on. Drink some water later.

- Here. - Thanks, Jiang.

Go on now.

Well... I'm heading out.

Clean up this mess.

Okay. You rest up first.

No matter what, a girl living alone is too dangerous.

No way. Let's stop talking about moving out.

But I'm really scared, Mom. Please take me home, okay?

I'm really scared!

I'm begging you...

Don't cry. Listen to me.

I'll talk to your Uncle Wen. Don't worry.

I have to hang up now.

FINAL EXAM CRAM

Alright, class dismissed.

Go home and get some rest now. Come back tomorrow for more prep.

Miss.

Night study is over. Hurry home.

Stay safe on your way back.

AFTER THE COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAM

If you keep this up, I'm calling the police.

Call the police?

This injury is proof you tried to kill me.

- You really dare to report me? - You've been harassing me all this time!

I can just tell them that you tried to steal my money.

Who do you think they'll believe?

Don't come any closer! I'll scream!

Scream? Do you want everyone to know?

Do you think anyone will marry you later, Jiang?

Do you even realize how shameful, how humiliating this is?

- Don't scream! - Uncle Wen!

Uncle Wen! Help me!

Come here.

Don't touch me! I'll jump!

- Yifan! - De!

- De! - Yifan!

- What's going on here? - De.

- Are you alright? - De, say something!

You're not dead, right, De?

- Yifan! - Say something!

I need to call the police...

You're not dead? You scared me to death!

What are you waiting for? Come help already!

Get them up first!

Look at your daughter.

I worked so hard raising her for you, letting her stay in my house.

And what did she do?

She... She wants to throw my brother in jail!

I'm sorry! Please, don't be mad.

Don't be mad? What did my brother do wrong?

He was just drunk and went into the wrong room!

Look, how heartless she is!

My brother didn't do anything to her, and yet...

she let him fall and break his leg,

and now she wants to slap him with... a rape charge!

How can you throw around accusations like that?

- Calm down. - It really pains me!

I'll go talk to her.

Jiang, did you misunderstand something?

Your aunt's brother is a good man. He would never do something like this.

- Why are you all arguing? - Don't overthink it, okay?

If you want to argue, take it outside.

- Go argue somewhere else. - We're not arguing.

Are you alright?

We can go to the police station. It's quieter there.

Let's go make a statement.

Go on. Tell the officer everything that happened.

A guardian can accompany her. You can come along.

I...

I have to go now. Uncle Zheng drove me here.

- He's still waiting outside. - Mom...

- I can't let him wait. - I'm begging you...

He has work tomorrow.

- Please... - You can't just leave now.

Your daughter's trouble isn't solved yet.

Help me! Please don't abandon me again.

Call me if you need anything. I'm leaving now.

"We'll talk later?" What do you mean?

You're really leaving?

Can we go now?

Your foot is hurt.

Take care.

It feels like the rain in Beiyu

has soaked into my bones.

No matter where I run,

I can't escape that rainy day.

Excuse me. Dian!

Dian!

Is that you, Dian?

The number you're dialing is powered off. Please try again later.

Hello, Xiang Lang.

Hello, Qiao. Are you busy?

Not really.

I didn't go back for the last New Year holiday.

Such a pity. Our Nanwu Trio didn't get to reunite.

How have you been?

Are you and Dian doing okay recently?

What's wrong?

Did... something happen to Dian?

She... ran away from home.

I think... I just saw Dian.

Where?

Welcome! Looking for a meal?

You're thinking of her, too, aren't you?

Sang Yan... I...

I don't deserve to ask for your forgiveness

for leaving without telling you.

Not last time, and not this time either.

I don't expect you to understand.

But please believe me. I had no choice but to leave.

Don't miss me. Don't look for me.

That rumor...

was meant to make you believe it.

MISSED CALL

HOW ARE YOU? I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU

GOOD NIGHT DON'T FORGET TO EAT

MISSED CALL I MISS YOU

I've read your letter.

Send me another one.

SIX MONTHS LATER

BING'S TEA HOUSE

Wen Yifan!

Why are you here?

I'm studying here and working part-time.

- Aren't you exhausted? - It's fine.

Sit down. Let's talk.

- I haven't finished cleaning up yet. - I'll help you.

No need! No need, really.

Just sit down and chat.

It's been a long time.

How have you guys been?

Our dance training school is still running.

- Come visit when you have time. - Alright.

Wash the dishes! You still have time to chat?

- Take your time. I'll get back to work. - Unbelievable!

Thank you.

You're out of wine. Let me buy you a drink.

No need. I should go.

It's fine. Don't be so polite.

Hey, get her a drink. Put it on my tab.

- Got it. - Really, I don't need one.

Where are you going in the middle of the day?

- Are you okay? - I'm fine.

What happened?

That guy was harassing a female customer.

Our boss took him away.

Zhuo. He!

Fuck you.

If I hadn't come looking for you, you still dared to show up here?

Huh?

I'm just here for a drink. Did I do something to you?

Don't ever let me see you again. Got it?

Alright. Okay, I get it.

I get it.

I understand now.

I touched your little girl before, so now you're mad, right?

Come on. We're all men here. You should understand, right?

She's just an insignificant woman.

I almost had her. Want me to tell you how it felt?

Come on.

Is that all you've got?

Jun! He! Yan is here!

- Boss. - Boss. How are you?

Call an ambulance for him.

Hurry up!

THE STORY IS NOT OVER YET...

Don't you think

watching horror movies helps you forget things?

No other genre works?

Seems like horror movies work best.

Hello, sir. The movie is over. Please exit this way.

HUGE THANKS TO EVERYONE INVOLVED AND TO ALL THE FANS OF THE FIRST FROST!

TREAT YOURSELF WELL AND THE WORLD WILL HOLD MORE LOVE FOR YOU!
