(Latest Event: Write a Letter to Your Future Self, 20 Percent Off Stationery for Participants)

Recycling collection.

Recycling collection.

Tang, give me my purse.

Down there.

Sir.

Did you take my letter?

What letter?

A couple of days ago, I wrote

a letter to my future self too.

And I put it in the mailbox.

But it's gone now when I checked.

I didn't touch it.

You are in charge of the mailbox.

You got the lock and keys.

Why didn't I find my letter?

Maybe it was Hu.

He's always rummaging through things.

I'll ask him later.

Wait here for me.

(I want to give you a sunny day, but I only have an umbrella woven from storm clouds)

(Buddies Billiards, Fenxiang 2nd Road, Phone Number, Tang)

(Public Telephone)

Causing trouble, huh?

(Public Telephone)

Are you calling Tang?

Ms. Wang.

Ye.

Didn't get through?

Well, let's head home.

We're leaving, Ms. Wang.

Take care, Ye.

Let's go home.

Cha, enough.

Cha.

You're too harsh on your own people.

Luckily,

you're with me.

If you're with Cha,

you'd really be in for it.

Okay then.

I won't keep you any longer.

You've handled your affairs.

Now let's deal with our business.

One of Qiang's legs was broken.

I want a leg from each of them.

Fair enough?

Bao.

Must we go this far?

Cha.

Can't you do it yourself?

My men can help you out.

10,000 yuan.

Cha.

Spare them.

Okay.

We're buddies.

20 percent off.

8,000 yuan.

Qiang, make him sign an IOU.

Kneel.

Tell Grandma

about you and that hooligan.

Kneel!

Mom!

I am incompetent.

I married a flighty wife,

and she ran off with another man,

leaving us here.

Now Tang won't listen to me at all.

She got fooled by that hooligan,

and pulled a knife on me,

trying to kill me!

I worked to pay her tuition,

and pay her mother's debts.

I also took you to the hospital.

It's not easy for me either.

You have to help me.

Mom.

I can't keep

this house anymore.

The money I owe...

They are forcing me to pay back the money

I borrowed to pay

your medical bills.

Mom.

I've failed you, mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Don't touch Grandma!

I was wrong.

Give it to me.

Move!

You broke the photo frame!

Grandma.

How dare you!

I think our business is settled.

We're still buddies.

Let's make money together.

It's a matter

between 'kids'.

I won't get involved.

Buddy.

You!

Smash it!

Don't run! Open it!

Move!

Get out! Get out!

Don't fight back.

Xun, don't fight back.

Pulled a knife on me?

I won't let you off.

You collude with those punks

to go against me.

I'm done talking.

Give me the deed.

This is Grandma's house.

I won't give it to you!

Say it again.

Never.

Go!

Stay back!

Stop smashing!

(Buddies Billiards) Please stop!

Rat.

Rat.

Are you okay, Rat?

You're injured seriously.

I'm fine.

Go to the hospital, okay?

Go to the hospital.

I'm fine.

I'll take you to the hospital.

I'm sorry, Rat. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm fine.

What would I do without you?

I know...

I'll be fine,

and you'll be fine too.

I'll protect you.

I'll protect you.

It's okay.

It's okay.

I'm really fine.

Alright, calm down.

Tang Yixun!

Tang Yixun!

Are you home, Tang Yixun?

Can you hear me?

Tang Yixun!

Tang Yixun!

Tang Yixun!

Ye Haitang?

Ye Haitang!

What's wrong with you?

Why did you kick my door?

I just passed the billiards

and saw it's messy inside.

And your doorknob was covered in blood.

I thought something happened to you.

I'm fine. I went to get some food.

Why are you injured?

Well...

Do you have medicine?

Ye Yibo hit you?

You got into another fight?

Just minor conflicts.

Do you want to go back to school?

Of course.

Sorry.

Why did Ye Yibo hit you?

Rest for a few days.

Keep the wound dry.

I'm leaving.

Hurry up.

Six Dots.

What the heck!

You might pay out.

- Eight Bamboos. - Pay out!

Can you pull gold from thin air?

Let me borrow your luck.

Eight Bamboos.

White Dragon.

Nine Characters again.

Listen, I'm going to win!

Come on! North Wind.

What's up today?

Not letting me win.

Stop it!

Enough with the Pong!

Pay out.

Seven Dots.

Four Characters.

Stop overthinking. You'll never win.

Three Characters.

Come on. Let me win.

Hurry up! Come on.

Come on.

I bet you can't win.

One Dot.

I call Pong!

Five Dots.

Don't think about it.

Hurry up.

Nine Dots.

Come on!

I'm going to win.

Three Dots.

You need the Six Bamboos.

What's wrong with you?

This guy is a terrible debtor.

You gamble with him?

How did you find me?

You've won a lot.

How about this?

My brother sent me to collect debts.

And I need to do something.

Not just my brother.

Bao is also looking for you.

Wait.

We agreed to wait

till my next month's paycheck.

I'll pay you then.

By the way,

you extorted a lot

from the principal, right?

That should cover your debts.

Well,

I'll bring them here.

No need.

The school thing was all a misunderstanding.

I wasn't targeting you.

Besides, I didn't win much.

Fine.

Ye Yibo,

listen to me.

From now on,

if you dare hurt Ye Haitang even once,

I'll make you suffer.

Win more.

I'm leaving.

Are you playing or not?

Hurry up.

You won some money today,

trying to run? Come on.

You won the most today.

Hurry up. It's your turn.

Hurry up.

Just one tile away!

Who's this now?

I'm just here to play mahjong.

You're Ye Yibo?

What's up, man?

Pay back the money!

Ye Haitang.

Thanks for yesterday.

I brought you steamed buns.

Still warm.

I don't eat steamed buns.

How's your leg?

It's fine.

It's pouring rain.

Go back and rest.

I also brought you this.

Antiseptic solution

for the inflammation.

Try it.

Did you call me yesterday?

I was busy yesterday

and missed your call.

But I promise

it won't happen again.

So what happened yesterday?

What I told you

stays between us.

Okay.

Before confronting Ye Yibo that day,

I wrote a letter.

Not exactly a letter.

Call it the last note.

And I put it

in the mailbox by the bookstore.

Then things got chaotic,

and I forgot about it.

Yesterday I wanted to tear that letter up,

but I can't find it.

You don't want it anyway.

Just let it be.

But all other letters are here.

Why is mine missing?

Maybe someone took it.

Impossible.

I asked the owner,

and he never touched that mailbox.

And I've kept the keys.

Don't you want others seeing that letter?

I think something is wrong here.

The mailbox is locked.

Someone took my letter,

and put that love letter inside.

This is really suspicious.

How about this?

You'd go to school.

I'll wait for you there after school.

Let's figure out what's going on.

Alright.

I'm leaving.

Where is Tang Yixun?

He's not here.

Can he go back to school?

Of course.

I can't let him end up like me.

Li Chadong, you...

Miss Tan, anything else?

Don't gossip about her.

She might...

Look at her now.

She needs no protection.

Move over there.

She needs no protection.

But

we should thank the school.

Because

lawbreakers must be severely punished.

Cha.

We're wrong.

Here got trashed.

And the boat money's gone too.

Don't talk about this.

Luckily, we are still alive.

Cha.

Don't worry.

We'll earn this money back for you.

It's all in the past.

But we can't swallow this injustice!

Rat.

It's in the past.

Don't cause any more trouble, okay?

Don't come here lately.

I need some peace.

Xun.

If you can still go back to school,

just go.

Enough.

Go home.

Go home.

Tang Yixun.

Is this what you meant?

Someone dumped this mailbox here.

The owner just kept it

for our event.

Where will the letters inside

be mailed to?

The event is just to sell stationery.

They won't be mailed out.

So,

this thing is just for show.

The owner said that love letter

was found in this mailbox.

And my letter was in here too.

Then it disappeared.

It can't be opened.

Then someone must have

tampered with the letters inside.

Are you sure

it wasn't the owner?

Why would he?

Write me a love letter in your name?

Do you know each other?

No.

Then who did it?

What did he want?

Simple.

Someone wants to fool us.

I need to find a way

to expose this person.

(Sunshine Bookstore)

(To Ye Haitang) Will sending an empty envelope work?

Don't worry.

We're catching someone,

not mailing anything.

I'll hide there

and catch him.

Put it in.

(To Ye Haitang)

(Sunshine Bookstore)

Here.

Have a seat.

Will this work?

If someone wants to fool us,

he'll definitely come.

No way.

What if we leave

and that person comes?

Don't worry.

Anyway, I am suspended.

I'll just wait here.

You'd better go back.

You've got class to go.

With all these injuries,

what if it rains later,

and you get infected?

It's nothing. Just some scrapes.

Don't worry.

No. Go home.

I'm okay.

Get up.

I'll walk you back.

(Zihua Pavilion)

(Diligence and Integrity, Truth and Beauty) Wishing you a lifetime of love

and a family filled with joy.

(A life full of love and a family) Who are the drawing of?

(Ye, Tang) It's written right on the clothes.

You two came early today.

Blackboard.

Shen Xiaojun, you drew it?

Why are you so childish?

I'm not.

Besides, I didn't draw this.

If I could draw this,

I would be in art school.

Right?

Our class does have talented people,

turning real life

into images.

Right?

Art originates from life,

but transcends it.

Tang.

I will never forget my love for you.

Xun.

You're my eternal light.

Are you two dating?

Why are you

so annoying?

Xun.

Guarding the sacks?

Dong

takes on all kinds of jobs now.

Tough work. Really.

Alright, keep working.

I won't bother you anymore.

Keep it up.

This is a big order.

Don't underestimate it.

Not anyone can carry these sacks.

Salute to Dong.

Salute to Dong.

(To Ye Haitang) It's been three days.

I think no one would come.

Wait, who is this person anyway?

We can't just let him go.

Are you hungry?

Well...

You don't like steamed buns,

so I bought this bread.

It should be sweet.

Try it.

Thanks.

Right?

I saw many adults

buying this for their kids,

so I figured it must taste good.

Definitely better than buns.

Haven't you tried this?

I have.

This isn't filling,

so I don't like it.

You have it.

Let's share it.

Eat it.

Okay.

This is delicious.

So sweet!

Yes.

Red bean paste.

Delicious.

I think this love letter is genuine.

What do you mean?

I've read it many times.

I can tell

this letter was written with sincerity.

It doesn't seem like a prank.

Look, our bookstore also sells this stationery,

with an anchor in the top right.

This person bought stationery from our store,

wrote a letter,

put it in the mailbox,

and took my letter.

He must have visited the store many times.

Probably someone I know.

No way.

I must catch him.

(Sunshine Bookstore)

I'm not cold.

It's fine. Put it on.

You're all curled up due to coldness.

Aren't you cold?

I'm not.

I exercise every day,

and I'm in good shape.

I practice boxing.

Boxing?

Fighting, I bet.

Yeah. Fighting.

Did you really come from a reformatory school?

Yes.

I was sent there

because of fighting.

How did you get involved with those people?

I grew up in a welfare institute.

When I was sixteen,

I left on my own.

I had no money

and no place to stay.

It's Cha who took me in.

I would've starved otherwise.

Is fighting the only way to survive?

No one likes fighting.

I hate it

when people punch my face.

You don't get it.

I do.

We've been staking out here for days.

I think that person won't come.

Let's drop this.

Go take a rest.

Come back to school after you heal.

Get a haircut too.

You should

look like a student.

Okay.

As you wish.

Who is he?

Did you tell him about the mailbox?

Ye Haitang was his mother.

Ye Haitang.

The one wrote the last note?

They're in the same team?

Bro.

Are you cold? I've got

a new coat.

I'll go get it for you.

I haven't told anyone about the mailbox.

I've been protecting the scene.

I've kept our patrols

away from here.

Don't mention the patrols.

Tell him about the letter.

The letter is with you.

Were you here when the letter came?

He was.

I was.

I was here when her dad vanished.

It was at 12:00 AM.

An old man,

a cat,

and some paper

were making sounds.

Anyway. The cat meowed, and the paper rustled...

I can't explain it.

Suddenly,

he vanished.

So did the letter.

Vanished?

Has this mailbox always been here?

It's been here

these three months when I'm around.

Have other people gone missing here before?

Bro, I'm not trying to scare you.

Over there is no man's land.

Have you seen a black hole?

Heard of the aurora?

How about aliens?

Zhang Quan, get to the point!

The point is people vanish every year...

Don't tell anyone about this.

This area is cursed.

Were you here when this letter came?

He was here.

Yes, with her.

Got it.

According to both of you,

this happened twice in total.

First, your dad mailed the letter.

And then he vanished.

Yes.

Second, there was no letter in the mailbox,

but a letter appeared out of thin air.

So there's an invisible person

who took the letter

and put back a letter

from unknown in here.

Well said.

I guess so.

Bro, think about it.

What's this

invisible person? Not human at all.

You know?

Ridiculous.

You think I'll believe that?

It's impossible.

He's really stubborn.

Wait.

You...

I've wasted my time on you.

Why come here then?

Why?

Look!

- Cat! - Look!

Watch this.
