[Snacks of Hong Kong, China]

[Nanwu] Why have I never seen you before?

I'm in the choreography department.

Are you from the art college?

Yes, I am.

That's great.

Well,

thanks.

What about you guys?

Are we in the same grade?

Maybe.

What's your major?

Computer science.

I'm going to the bathroom.

We'll talk later.

Turn right up ahead and turn right again.

- Thank you. - Bye.

See you later.

Chen Junwen.

What's up?

Who was that girl just now?

Is she from our class?

Why don't I remember

there is such a good-looking girl in my class?

She's definitely not from our class.

She was at the next table.

She asked me where the bathroom was.

I don't know why she asked me

instead of the waitress.

Oh, my God.

I'm going to the bathroom.

Sit down.

What?

Did you get over the pain of being a backup so soon?

Are we friends?

Why are you talking so harshly?

Just shut up.

It's been so many days since we graduated.

Have you found a job yet?

It's hard.

I heard

that there are still a lot of graduates

this year who haven't found a job.

Scary?

We're not like Sang Yan

who found a high-paying

and less stressful

game design job

in Nanwu

right after graduation.

It's not that I went to them,

but they came to me.

That's right.

Just like when you had a girlfriend.

Many girls came to you

to confess their love to you,

but I've never seen you say yes.

[Yihe]

Excuse me.

Am I disturbing you?

I'm a reporter

for Yihe Daily.

I just saw the book you were reading.

You seem to be studying journalism.

Our newspaper office is right next to it.

I'm guessing

you're studying or just recently graduated, right?

Recent graduate.

That's great.

I'm researching a topic right now.

It's about why young people

don't want to go back

to their hometowns to work.

Would it be possible for me

to interview you about that?

There must be a reason

why they don't want to go home.

Can you tell me

more about that?

For example,

what are your reasons?

Okay.

Sorry to interrupt.

[Yihe Daily. Ye Yuyang. Reporter]

[Zhao Yuandong]

Hello?

Jiang.

You graduated,

so you should come back to Nanwu.

Mr. Zheng said

he'd treat you to dinner today.

Thank him for me.

I'll stay in Yihe.

Why?

I miss you.

If you come back,

I can see you more often.

Miss me?

In my four years of college,

you came to me only once.

And that was during your trip

to Yihe with Zheng Kejia.

I don't want to go back

to Nanwu or Beiyu.

Also,

don't you know

why I left?

[Episode 24] [The Reason I left]

[3614 days]

You're back.

Why are you wet?

Wait for me.

You neither took an umbrella

nor asked me to pick you up.

It rained so suddenly.

I was working.

You've been so tired lately,

so can you ask for a leave

to rest?

Don't worry.

Let me do it.

Can I

go to Yihe lately?

My sister won't be back for summer vacation

and says she's got a boyfriend.

He's quite old.

My family is worried

and wants me to go there

in case he's a liar.

Or I can go

sometime later.

When?

In recent days.

If nothing happens,

I'll come back early.

It's good to visit Zhi.

She's a little girl.

It's really unsettling.

Don't argue with her.

Do you need me to book a hotel for you?

I know that place better than you.

Take a shower now.

Don't catch a cold.

And

remember to bring an umbrella next time,

but you'd better

call me.

Wen Shuangjiang.

Do you have something on your mind?

No.

I said I'm fine.

But I feel

you're not concentrating at all.

I'm just a bit tired.

Then get some rest.

If you don't pester me.

Good night.

No matter where you are,

I will find you.

♪Once again, I hear the farewell from that day♪

♪Tears fall as the memory replays♪

Wen Yifan.

No matter what,

♪Wishing♪

I'll take you.

Who can just

take anything from me?

♪Should be handed in a bit late♪

♪The journey ahead should keep extending♪

It's so early.

Even check-in hasn't started yet.

Are you sleepy?

I'll stay with you for a while.

I'll leave as soon as check-in starts.

I won't be gone long,

but you insisted on coming with me.

Are you so sad to see me go?

Of course.

Looks like check-in has begun.

I'll go through security

and get ready to board.

Okay. Stay with me this far.

Let me know when you get home.

Be safe.

I'll miss you.

See you later.

I'm home.

This is

my home.

This is my home.

You are so...

I'll follow you

to every corner of the world.

If I left,

Che Xingde wouldn't have to harm you.

Sang Yan.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm in Yihe.

Call me if anything happens.

I won't put it on mute.

I really don't know why you came with me.

Dian asked me instead of you

to feed the cat.

Actually,

I've decided to join Help Me,

so I'm here to apprentice, okay?

Sure.

So much cat food.

When will it be finished?

Dian.

Dian.

Dian.

Su Haoan.

I feel a bit strange.

You're amazing.

Come here.

She told me she's only away for a day or two,

but why is the closet

and dresser empty?

Hello.

The user you're calling

is temporarily unavailable.

What next? She doesn't seem to be on.

I'll call Sang Yan.

Stop the car.

Airport.

Hurry up.

Su Haoan.

Su Haoan.

She's not back yet?

How come you're so fast?

By air?

I thought her room was too empty,

and I was anxious,

so I...

Did she go back to her mom?

No way.

[To Sang Yan]

Sang Yan.

I'm...

I'm in no position to ask you

to forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye.

It was like that last time,

and it's the same now.

I don't expect you to understand me,

but please believe

that I have reasons why I must leave.

Do not miss

or look for me.

I wish you peace and joy

in your future life.

Shuangjiang.

Hello.

The user you're calling

is temporarily unavailable.

Hello.

The user you're calling

is temporarily unavailable.

Please try again later.

Hello.

The user you're calling

is temporarily unavailable.

What is your relationship with Wen Yifan?

Lovers.

And before she left,

did you have any heated arguments?

No.

And were there any disputes between you,

such as

relationship-related

or financial?

No.

So she

just left this letter and disappeared?

Can you try to contact her family?

I don't have their contact information, so...

We'll try to contact her family for you.

You can sit over there and wait.

Over there. You can sit over there.

Thank you.

We just contacted Wen Yifan's mother,

Ms. Zhao Yuandong.

She told us

that firstly,

she doesn't approve of your relationship.

Secondly,

Wen Yifan often disappears suddenly,

and they've had fights lately,

so she thinks this time,

Wen Yifan is throwing a tantrum.

Isn't her mom

anxious at all?

Based on her tone,

it seems like it is.

We also learned

that her father is deceased

and that she has no siblings.

To your knowledge,

does Wen Yifan

have any close relatives

or friends or anything like that?

She has a close friend,

but

she doesn't know

where Wen Yifan is either.

In fact, we often see

this kind of situation.

Young people

like Wen Yifan

may not have any attachments.

How about this?

Give me your contact information.

We'll be in touch

if we hear anything.

Don't worry too much.

She's an adult,

so she has the right to stay or go.

Can't you do any more investigation for me?

Based on the information you've given us,

we don't know

if she's in danger,

so

we have no right

to invade a citizen's privacy.

Please understand.

Young man.

For this kind of thing,

I think, you,

a boy, should take it easy.

Do you really have no attachments at all?

Wen Yifan.

Where are you?

♪From my heart to my whole being♪

Have a drink.

No.

Don't be anxious.

Maybe she'll come back

alone one day.

Yes,

one day.

It could be four or five years from now.

I don't believe

she'll never answer her phone.

♪For a fleeting moment, I fall in love with this world♪

♪But a world like this exists only tonight♪

In fact, after all these years,

we're not sure

what she's been through.

When I called the police,

I suddenly realized that she was a person with no family.

We are all her family.

I hope she feels the same way.

See what you want to eat.

There's some here

and on the back.

And there's something just made.

In the back part, too.

We just made it.

What do you want?

No.8.

No.8.

Okay. No problem.

No.8.

Maybe it's because

I didn't make her trust me enough

that she chose to suffer alone again.

Su Haoan.

Take a vacation for me tomorrow.

I need time

to find out.

[Zhibai Villa]

Before,

Dian lived with her grandmother for a while.

I remember I went there once.

She adored my dad,

so she adored me.

That time

was probably the happiest she'd been

since her dad passed away.

Two.

Come on.

It gets better.

Supplemental tile of melding quad.

Excuse me.

Ma'am.

Is this

No.72, Haiyue Branch Road?

Yes.

Do you know Wen Yifan?

I've lived here for seven or eight years,

but I've never heard of her.

Have any strange girls

come here recently?

Not that I've seen.

Thank you. Sorry to bother you.

Could you have left Nanwu?

[Yihe University]

Sang Yan?

I'm Xu Xinxin,

Wen Yifan's roommate.

Sorry to bother you.

Wen Yifan wasn't really special in college,

but she didn't talk much.

When she was looking for a job,

she didn't seem to want

to work in her hometown,

so she did an internship at Yihe Daily.

So did she ever say

why she didn't want to go back to her hometown?

Anyway, ever since she started college,

she's applied to stay at school during winter and summer vacations.

We were kind of surprised,

but she didn't explain.

Thank you.

And how is she working at Yihe Daily?

To be honest,

actually,

we didn't have much contact

after the internship,

so

I don't really know

what happened to her afterward.

Thank you.

[Yihe Daily]

Wen Yifan?

I remember.

She had such a personality,

so how could I not remember?

So what happened then?

What's your relationship with Wen Yifan?

Her boyfriend.

All I can tell you is that someone

sexually harassed her in the workplace

but didn't make it.

The editorial director at the time

was fired because of it,

and we did everything we could

to get justice for her

to restore her reputation,

but she wasn't happy about it

and quitted her job.

Maybe she wanted to escape.

Young people these days always escape

when they are under pressure.

What kind of escape is that?

If Wen Yifan were your daughter,

would you let her continue to suffer from this kind of pressure?

Please take that back.

In Nanwu

or Yihe,

there is no sign of you

or any answer.

Now

there's only one last place left.

Why are you back so late?

I was at a place to study.

What are you studying for?

I think you were just slacking off on purpose.

There are so many people waiting for dinner at home.

Why couldn't you come back early to help?

Oh, my God.

Are you fooling around

with some punk again?

I heard from my mom

that Wen Yifan disappeared again.

Why did you say "again"?

I remember it was after the College Entrance Exam.

One day, she suddenly disappeared

without taking anything.

She never came back after that.

What was the reason for that?

She

didn't tell you?

I was preparing for my exams,

so I didn't know anything.

Ask someone else.

So when will your family come back?

My mom and my uncle moved to Nanwu.

Moved to Nanwu?

Where do they live?

I think you can just

ask Wen Yifan's mom.

I really don't know anything.

Thanks.

Can I see

the room

she used to live in?

This used to be her room.

Zhong Siqiao.

Last time you said that her mom

lives in Building 7, right?

Thank you.

Sang Yan.

Sang Yan.

I'm Fu Zhuang.

It's really you.

Are you going to work?

Yes.

Yifan quitted.

You didn't know?

Is she quitting

because something good will happen to you?

Congratulate her for me.

Fu Zhuang.

When did that guy come here to work as a security guard?

That guy?

He's been here

for almost a month.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Then I'll go to work.

I'll be late.

Tell Yifan

we'll party soon.

And

congratulations.

Take it back.

Don't be sad.

I understand if she didn't tell me

during the entrance exam.

We were kids then,

so she didn't trust me.

But now, we've both grown up.

Am I terribly unqualified

to be her friend?

Actually,

everyone has something

they can't just say.

We don't have to beat ourselves up.

I just want to help her.

She's now alone again.

How lonely will she be?

[Dian: Qiao, is it convenient to talk?]

[It extremely is!]

Hello?

Hello, Qiao.

Dian, where are you?

We've been looking all over for you.

I'm sorry

to have worried you.

What's going on?

Are you going to never come back?

When you left me,

it took me a long time to adjust.

Then I worked very hard

and kept myself busy

so I wouldn't feel so lonely.

You have to think

about Sang Yan, if not me.

You've just fallen in love.

Is he alright?

No.

Didn't you say

he was always so bright

and energetic?

But now,

he isn't bright at all.

Tell me where you are.

He's going crazy looking for you.

I'm sorry.

Dian, I'm begging you.

Come back.

Qiao.

I'm calling you

to tell you I'm safe.

Don't worry about me.

I didn't want to leave without saying goodbye.

I just want you all to be okay.

I left not because I didn't love you.

-Dian. - Take care.
