Our society

is prejudiced against men

In the past women called for equality with men

But that was the old society

Now I think we men should

call for equality with women

Take for example

Stay-at-home moms

are fine women

But stay-at-home dads

are not man enough

Men

have to fight with other men

for resources

in this jungle of a society

Women are one of the resources

and they tend to flow upward

Gone are the times when "love or bread" was in question

Now the balance has tipped

towards a handful of people that

own the bread

Being a woman is so difficult

You've got only those few best years

Not like men with no expiration date

It's like gambling for a woman to pick a guy

Maximizing those few short years

to find the right guy to spend the rest of her life with

That's hard

But a man can bid his time to make his pick

For men, age is a plus

For women, age is a panic-trigger

You've heard of Big Brothers?

But have you heard of Big Sister?

It's still a man's world at the end of day

So in this day and age

what will make a woman

willing to bet her future on a man?

Is it money or status?

No

It'll come down to how much the man loves her

Is it true that all women in the world

feel insecure?

Yes they are

You are required to prove you love them all the time

Men bust their asses off everyday outside

All they want to come back home to is

a hot meal

and a warm bed

Not another battleground

What builds a good relationship?

It's communication, talking to each other

putting yourselves in each other's shoes

Not putting up with the other person endlessly

I only see him a couple of hours everyday

He's all over the place outside

but looks dead the moment he steps in the door

Can't he just spare a little bit of energy

to spend on me?

Whether it's material or psychological

What we women care more about

are not an absolute value

but a percentage value

Like I

account for how much percentage of your being

It's so exhausting

Being a man is so exhausting

It's so hard

Being a woman is so hard

So it's a fight

or you guys are breaking up this time?

I said I wanted to break up

Really?

She said it

So be it

I'm in the middle of a breakup

Can you be more serious

Then tell me

what you two were fighting for?

I forgot

I kind of forgot

what started it

Then how did it get so serious?

He was lecturing me

That's so typical of women

They never just deal with the now

They drag you through things that happened years ago

Five years

Every time I caved

I apologized

Back in the days when we fought

he'd try to make up with me within two hours

You'd think she'd say sorry once in a while

Never

Now it's a day already

Not a word from him yet

It's so exhausting

I'm done

Excuses

Those are all excuses

He's just sick of me now

He doesn't love me any more

You're not worried that she might move out?

Why?

I'd be surprised if she moves out

I'd like to bet

If I move out this time

I don't think he's gonna let that happen

Meng Yun

Is there anything you want to say to me?

You've made your decision

There's nothing left to say

Okay

Please mail the rest of my stuff

to me

Not to the company address

I'll send you the address later

Okay

Whose fault do you think it is

this time?

I don't know

You women are hard to please

I just hope when you're at Lin Jia's age

you're not gonna ride me hard like that

But I feel sorry for Lin Jia

She's been with Meng for five years

From when you two just started the company

till now you've got a sizable business

she's always been there for him

I feel that

Meng's a bit too focused on work

I disagree

You women

keep saying that

men don't have to have money

but have to have talent

But nowadays

People use money to measure talent

So to prove we have the talent you so care about

We have to keep making money

Well

There's also one thing you men like to say

That the reason I work so hard

is for our future

Yu Fei

So here is a question for you

If there is no me

you don't need to work hard?

That's a good question

There is always somebody else if not you

What?

What I meant is that

a man is always working hard

for a woman

No?

You don't think

they're really gonna just split up like that?

No

It's just a fight

only it got a bit out of hand this time

They've been together for years. No way this is the end

- Yu Fei - Huh?

Who is it keeps texting you

It's all company stuff

Meng asked me to set up a business dinner

I don't believe you

Let me see

Ding Dian

We've been together for how long?

You still don't trust me

You may

take a look

But if there is nothing there

you need to apologize to me

Okay

If there is nothing there

- I will apologize - Deal

Oh no

There was a message coming in

I was spooked

Get it out

Where did it go?

- Use your chopsticks - Where is it?

Where did it go?

Where?

You did it on purpose

What are you doing?

Yu Fei

This is where we first met

Now we're back to where it all started

I'm not over what just happened with the phone yet

I admit

I did

play around a bit

But that was before I met you

And I've been a reformed man since then

Reformed

Huh

Okay

I'll let the phone thing slide today

We need to learn from Meng and Lin Jia's mistake

We need to talk more

communicate more

So we'll talk today

What do you mean?

A confession

A confession

of what?

Of the things we have hid from each other

since we've been together

I say one thing

you drink a shot

Then you say one thing

and I drink a shot

Nobody is to get angry

You in?

I'm in if you are

Great

Here we go

The other day

I told you I was working overtime

But in truth

I went playing videogames with my pals in a net bar

Yu Fei

Have some balls alright

Seriously?

Say some real stuff

Real stuff?

So we're talking about the juicy stuff

How about

you give me an example

Fine

Listen carefully

Those girls' contacts in your phone

Those Lucy, Jessica, Christine, etc.

I deleted them

the other day when you were asleep

holding your thumb to the screen to unlock it

What!?

No getting angry

That tattoo on my lower thigh

is not really my mom's name and birthday

It's my first girlfriend's

I was wondering why

your mom's name is Coco

Impressive

How do you feel?

You enjoy the game?

Very

Then we continue

Bring it on

That handbag I got on my birthday

I told you

I asked my girlfriend to buy it from America

That's not true

It was a gift from that guy who liked me

That time the company organized us to watch a movie?

No, it was my ex

who just came back from abroad and called me

That time

I told you I was going with my girlfriends

to Floral Water Bay for a few days

There weren't just girls

There were also two young rich guys

They paid for everything

During those same days when you were on that trip

I went to a party of a female friend

All of us got drunk, three guys and three girls

And no one made it home that night

Six months ago

you had a hot girl befriend you on WeChat

You two were hitting it off

Then she suddenly dropped out of contact

Let me tell you

That girl's my spy and that was a test

Then no drink for me this round

Let me tell you too

She didn't disappear

She used another account to befriend me

I named her contact with a man's name

She's pretty into me now

What can I do?

Your good friend

Monica

- Right? - Go to hell!

Monica

Put it down

Put it down

You're awake

Why are you here?

Sisters sync their periods

Brothers go through breakups together

Am I a good friend or not?

What happened?

You broke up with Ding Dian?

Who got caught?

She or you?

You know

I'm in charge

of the company's PR

There are time-honored steps for business entertaining

Like after-dinner parties

To party

you'll need

girls

Exactly

Last night at dinner

One of my hustler guys messaged me

Of course I can't let her see the messages

So I "accidentally" dropped my phone into the hot pot

Then

she got this idea of having us

confess stuff to each other

And I went along with it

You and I went to two extremes

You didn't talk at all

I talked everything

I told you

to be careful

You think she has no dirty laundries?

She's like a female version of me

Soulmate

- Mr. Meng - Yes?

We're leaving

- Okay - Bye

Thanks

What movie are we watching tonight?

There is a sci-fi movie that should be good

Okay

Sorry

What's wrong with you?

The whole movie has ended

It may not be in theater next week

I know, but you know

all that construction that's going on at the company

There is nobody else to keep eyes on things

This is like the only fun I have, you can't even indulge me

Okay okay

My fault, my fault

It's all my fault okay?

One day when we don't have to worry about money

we'll watch movies whenever

No

Only during half-price deal time

No matter how much money you make

We'll watch movies only during half-price deal time

Good girl

Okay, we'll only watch movies on Tuesday

"Send my stuff to 6-2-908, Fangcao Street"

"Send my stuff to 6-2-908, Fangcao Street"

"Okay"

I should have done what you did

Left some stuff behind

so that I'd have an excuse to call him

and yell at him

You don't need an excuse to yell at him

Just call and yell at him

I can't

Whoever contacts the other first loses

Didn't you give Meng your address

so that he'll know where to find you

when he comes around?

No

Of course

You'll never admit it

I see all those little wheels

turning in your head

Come stay at my place tonight

I don't want to be alone

What are we doing tonight?

I didn't plan anything tonight

Your rule

Tuesday nights are off limits

How about

the two of us go watch a movie?

Kind of weird, right?

You had a five-year relationship

Me two years

Don't you miss the days

when we ruled the Chengdu night scene?

Listen to me whenever you and Lin make up

before that happens

there is a golden window of bachelordom

A rare opportunity

We were pretty young back then

I'm too old for that shit

I have this WeChat hookup group

There are some new girls

21, 22 tops

Let's go

Hurry

Hey

What?

They dance like that these days?

Yeah

What's with all the masks?

In case of shooting their saliva everywhere

Weren't you like

the dance king of MIX back in college?

Show them

No

We bobbed like this back in the days

You're not doing it right

- Yoyo - Yeah

Pass it out

For the big one

Take it

What for?

Just do what I do

This is tonight's theme

FOR FREEDOM!

Mrs. Deng

I don't know how to get a courier

Please help send all this stuff

to Lin

Okay

You went all out

last night

Lin's gone?

So this is?

What's the plan today?

Keep rocking

What?

Keep

rocking

Right

Fresh air

Fresh game

Fresh girls

I'm back again

Haven't felt this relaxed in a long time

I've figured it out

Bachelorhood suits me

This is what my life's supposed to be

These past few days

I felt like a bachelor again and it felt good

Exactly

After me and Ding Dian started dating

since she doesn't play videogames

I had to give up videogames

Just like Lin Jia doesn't go to clubs

so you had to give up clubbing

TRUE

It feels like just because we are men

we're obligated to bend to their wishes

Anyway

Suppose they agree to hang out with us here today

will those

ever be here?

No

I feel sad for men

You are somebody's employee at work

Then you're somebody's boyfriend off work

When can you ever be yourselves?

Now

Meng Yun and I have come back

being single again

almost at the same time

Couples

should give each other some space

That's exactly what Ding Dian said to you the first time when you two met

Yeah

I don't cook

But I'll learn to make some good soup

to nourish my man

when he comes back home everyday

She said that too

Where is the soup now?

All went down the drain

You girls

always pull the wool over our eyes

with all that sweet talk

before we realize it's too late

I think that's what people say about you men

Right

I guess we're even then

Yeah. Come on. Cheers

"Ding Dian"

First contact after break-up?

Guess she cracked first

Must be

I'm still savoring my new bachelor life

If she wants to get back together

I'll need to think about it

Women

You need to ignore them

so they'll realize they're unreasonable

Answer it. See what she says

Hello

Who

are you calling a jerk?

You've been having fun huh?

Feeling liberated?

You stopped loving me long time ago, didn't you?

Are you with Monica now?

I don't put that past you

You're a jerk

Scumbag

I wasted my best years on you

You owe me

She's...

Don't mind it

She sounds obviously drunk

Drunk for sure

so the truth comes out

Said she wasted her best years on me

I invested my damn time too

It's okay I know

Let's have some drink

Don't get worked up

The hell I'll ever talk to her!

Where is the soup you promised?

You didn't lie to me?

You said you spied on my phone

And you deleted my contacts

Who has crossed the line?

I may like to have fun sometimes

But I don't have a thing going on with other people

Have you cheated on me or not?

I want you to be straight with me

Who's the bad person here?

Are you dumb?

I said I wanted to break up and you just went along with it

You could just try to be nicer to me

For you, helps you wake up

Thanks

Honey tea for you

Helps with the hangover

You're making fun of me too

It's okay

Has to be one person that cracks first

Who are you saying cracked?

I was drunk

I want to make sure one last time

It was really me who

called him first last night?

Uh-huh

Then he called back

Will he think he's won

because I contacted him first?

- Maybe - Definitely

Oh no

There goes my pride

No

I have to think of a way

to salvage it

You love him right?

That is bigger than your pride no?

What about you?

Why haven't you contacted Meng Yun?

Or he didn't answer?

Chloe

You can stop talking now

Why

are you here so early today?

My boss saw me not really myself recently

and gave me some time off

I was thinking about using the time

to go traveling

How about you two come along?

I can't

Chloe is going back home in a few days

There is just me tending the shop

Yes

My mom is marrying

Again?

To...

I don't know

You know

I've been rotating between being rich

and being broke

It all depends on my mom's performance

When I'm away

don't do more stupid things

Don't worry

I feel that both of us

really need to make some adjustments

Why would we punish ourselves

with how heartless the other party is?

I look at his social account posts

It's like watching some wild captive thing

being released into the wild

That just pisses me off

I guess

That's part of the reason

that I lost it last night

He made my life miserable

I'm not gonna let him get off easy

What again?

Since we already broke up

we should finish all unfinished business

Let's give each other's stuff back today

as a proper sendoff

A closure

So this is closure

Yes

A closure

Okay

Here's to closure

There you go

Cheers

Now tell me

How should we do this?

You hand back a gift from me and I call its price

Then I return a gift of a similar price from you and so on

We'll settle the difference in the end

Then that's it

Let's do it

This one

How much?

2000 something yuan

Okay

2,500 yuan then

Let me find something about the same price

Yeezy Boost 350 V2

Black

How much?

480 yuan including shipping

What?

2480

Too late

I was wondering

why my feet stink when I wear them

Don't mind the details

Didn't you wear them all the time?

2,480 it is

I'm minus 20

How about I just drink a shot?

Your turn

This wallet

How much?

5700

Wait

This is the first wallet I bought you

Look how worn it is

You're giving me back that?

Where's the one you're using now?

Now?

I could still use the one

I'm using now

Come on. Your turn

This SLR camera

How much?

That is the real thing

7800

Subtract it

You are minus 2,000 now

No. Wait

When you gave me this camera, didn't we agree

That you'd use it to capture

my strong athletic moments

in the basketball court?

But it ended up with

me taking your photos most of the time

Those are all your photos in it

What about the sexy lingerie you bought me?

Who got the benefit of that?

6666666666

Next

This matching mug

This...

Let's just exchange it

No need to count it

Here. Cheers

Hey, Chuck!

Tiger

Pan, what's up?

Let's call the old gang out

Have a drink

You're with your folks?

Man

It's been a bit too much recently

Maybe chill for a couple days

I bought for you

all your skincare products

Maybe you should tear your skin off

Funny

What about

all your videogame character add-ons and skins?

I bought them for you

And the power-leveling too

Give them all back

Each and every one of your underwear and socks

was bought by me

Take them off

Tell me a single time

that you paid for our eat-outs?

Spit all the food out

It happens all the time

Honey

I know I can't cook

but I have my secret recipe for making instant noodles

You do?

Look

How all the broth gets sucked up by the noodles

Good?

Delicious

No matter

how much money I make in the future

I'm eating your noodle at least once every day

Deal

Honey

Huh?

Can we get a dog?

When we move to a bigger house in the future

I'll definitely get you one

We're just not ready yet now

So the first time we met since we broke up

led to this

A bit too intense

Yeah

So we are...

Not back together!

Okay

So?

You go shower first

Or I go first?

You go. I wanna lie here for a bit

Can I have a look at that one?

How was last night?

I was calling to say that I arrived

you didn't pick up the call

Something happened?

No no

We got a bit drunk and then parted ways

But

I just realized

Yu Fei had actually bought me a lot of stuff

He's a bit penny-pinchy usually

but is quite generous when it comes to you

He has to

How can a man prove his love to you?

Number 1, spend real money on you

Number 2, put a ring on you

Think about it

They could work their asses off

for that bit of money

They'd want to spend only on people that are worth it

Anyway

Men who are willing to spend money on you

don't necessarily love you

But men who can't even shell out for you

definitely don't love you

I guess

But

seeing the things we had bought for each other

did make me feel quite sentimental

Yeah

For two persons who lived together for this long

you can divvy up stuff

but you can't just switch off the memory

How are you?

From the look of your account posts

you're in a good mood

This vacation is five years overdue, something Meng Yun promised

but in the end it's just me

Enjoy the trip

Stop thinking too much

You met any cute guys yet?

It's been five years

You deserve some fresh meat

Sure

You want me to bring you back some too?

What's up?

You disappeared on me the whole night

At one of your FBUI?

What FBUI?

Friend to Bed Under the Influence

I don't know what you're talking about

What happened? Looking so serious

Lin Jia's out traveling

Dolphin Bay?

When she and I just got together

we talked about going to Dolphin Bay someday

There you go

She posted them for you to see on purpose

But don't you find it strange?

Strange how?

The landscapes

I get it

The selfies

Sure

But who took the full-body shot for her?

Right

I have that in my friend updates too

People saying that they're traveling alone

Posting all sorts of photos, beaches, landscape

five-star hotels you bet

Then voila! A full-body shot

Aren't you traveling alone?

Who the hell took all those photos for you?

Suspicious

Are you suspecting she's traveling with some guy?

No

Give me some credit

There you go

Maybe

- Take another look - Yeah

Let's take a look

You can see her posts too

How about I focus on the second photo

See if I can see any reflection of a guy on her sunglasses

You look at the fourth one

See if you can see through those windows

and catch any details?

Like cigarettes

or something else

- Look closely - Okay

"Remind me to buy coffee. Love"

Sorry I'm late

Old seats saved for old classmates

Okay okay

Are you sure you're not going out of the way?

I don't want to impose on you

No

It's not that far

Today's class reunion ended pretty early

Everyone's acting kind of awkward

It's understandable actually

Even people

you know intimately or are closest to at one time

If you lose contact with them for a while

They'll become like strangers to you

Did I say something wrong?

Or made you think of...

It's nothing

Are you feeling okay?

You look pale

It's just the weather

I'm a bit susceptible when the season changes

I'm fine

Honey

Yes

I feel I'm so weak

I may die much earlier than you

Nonsense

You're just more susceptible to cold when the season changes

I already made a mental note of that

And I have all med kept at home in case you need it

Whenever you're down with a cold or a fever

I'll be there for you

Whenever you hurt when you have your period

I'll make sugary drinks

Oh, one most important thing

You're allergic to mango

I need to remember that

Cuz that one time

I kissed you after I ate a mango

You developed a rash all over

But you love mango

Yeah, I'll just

eat them outside of home

and brush my teeth before I kiss you

Sleep

"Favourites: Meng Yun"

"Season changes now, are you okay?"

"Wang Xin"

Hello

Ding Dian

Meng Yun

Why are you calling me?

How's Lin Jia doing lately?

Lin Jia

I'm worried that you looked really pale just then

Are you feeling alright?

Lin Jia catches cold easily this time of year

The drug that works for her is not always available

I have some kept at my place

How about

I give it to you

And you give to her?

Why don't you give her yourself?

Fever is serious

I'm coming over to take you to the hospital

Huh?

Don't

I'm fine

Wang Xin?

Fine

You two just keep staying on your high horses

But I'm busy at a friend's birthday party now

I'll give to you another day

Okay

Bye

Hah?

You really fell sick?

Meng Yun did call me and asked me to pass you some medicine

I was totally buzzed

I forgot to tell you

Not your problem

He probably has long forgotten

those things he said

Don't trust men with their words

But at least he called

Why didn't he just call me directly?

If he couldn't even talk to me directly

I'm not counting on him to salvage this relationship

An old classmate that I haven't seen in ten years

would care to call to make sure that I was okay

Did this old classmate of yours

have a crush on you back in school?

It doesn't matter

We were all kids back then

People

grow out

those youthful crushes

When you are young

love is spontaneous

When you grow up

love is like a joint effort

What does he do?

He's just a normal guy

Some manager at a company

He's not really my type

Not good-looking

Is he?

It doesn't matter

My birth father is good-looking

What did that help me?

Nothing

After that

I just wanted to find

a man like my first stepdad

A successful man

You know

You'd need to be a lot tougher

to be the woman behind a successful man

But a successful man has his nemesis

The guy next door

My first stepdad was ousted

by a guy who's just like your old classmate

who showed up at the perfect timing

Chloe

You said you've never been in a relationship

Where do you get all these theories?

She may not have been in a relationship

But she has an experienced mom

Now I think about the state I was in earlier

it's kind of ridiculous

And I almost lost my job over

With Meng Yun or not

I shouldn't have lost sight of myself

Understood

Come on. A group selfie

One. Two. Three

Yay!

What are you doing?

Post it. Caption "Moving on"

Feeling good?

Liberated?

So are we

See how they had themselves surrounded by

those hot babes lately

Why can't we get ourselves some pretty boys?

Thanks for reminding me

I don't think that's what I meant

No?

Ever since Ding Dian posted that "Moving on" post

Man! She's been having fun!

How do you know?

Her social account posts

I thought you already blocked her

What happened to "out of sight, out of mind"

I did block her

but I ended up wanting to check out her posts more

I'm obsessed with checking what she posts everyday

as if I'm afraid I'd miss some crucial information

You're impossible

I kind of feel

I can't say about Ding Dian

but Lin Jia

looks like she's totally ready to move on

I don't think she's gonna reach out to me first

She's totally had me cornered you know

Over here. Come

Let's me introduce a buddy of mine

Marco

a.k.a. Magic Marco

A pickup artist

I asked him

to get me info on Lin Jia and Ding Dian

Pleasure to meet you

Pleasure is all mine

We're all friends

Hitting on friends' girlfriends

is right up my lane

Sorry. Testing, testing

Whatever

You go on

Based on the info Yu Fei provided me

I scouted through more than 30

hot local WeChat dating groups

Finally, in an account group called

Singles Bang Bang

I located your two girls

What?

Bang Bang?

Name's not important

What's important is whether they are easy to bang or not?

Sorry. Easy to get picked up or not

So I sent private friend requests to both of them

- They accepted your requests? - Of course

I'm not called Magic Marco for nothing

Both profile pics have been photoshopped nicely

So

how did it go with Lin Jia?

Lin Jia

was polite

But I felt that she was

a bit too cool

She dropped out after only a few words

What about Ding Dian?

You talked to her?

Ding Dian was exactly as you guessed

So responsive

I spent the whole of last night chatting with her

She didn't need to sleep

We talked all the way till dawn

She's hyperactive

And she was close to coming over to bring me breakfast

There was a moment

that I was really tempted

But thinking that she's your girl

I reined myself in

That girl knows exactly what strings to pull

It was mind-blowing

I've met my match

You two just started talking

and you were going on like that

Don't you feel you were a bit jumping ahead?

No, you've no idea

She led me on

I wanted to sleep

So tell me, bro

What's next?

Asking them out for you to catch red-handed or what?

Hell no

The next step is

that you lay low

What kind of state are they in now?

Based on my experience

I think both of them

have passed the first stage of women post breakup

The stage of collapse

Now they are in the second stage

Rebirth

And you two

after going through the initial stage of liberation

now are in the stage of

nostalgia

Who?

Us?

Nostalgia for what?

That's ridiculous! Seriously!

You know

I asked for your expertise

so that I can see

if I've made the right decision of breaking up

Now it seems that I couldn't be more right

And breakfast? What the hell?

Now she's ruined breakfast for me

What do you think, Meng?

They just want to show that

without us

their lives are much better

They completely denied the significance of our existence?

Fine

Keep denying

There'll always be someone else

The replacements are lining up

That's the talk I've been waiting for

Dudes. Are we talking about girls?

I have a lot here that aren't tapped yet

Clean ones

Before

we've been meeting girls in big group settings

We had numbers

but not results

We'd have better luck

with a smaller size of operation

Marco hooked us up with a pair of twins

I've got everything set up

- No kidding? - No kidding

Twins are the ultimate dream of every man

You for real?

For real

Whose cars are these?

Ours

I rented them

It's time that we splurge on ourselves

Just think about all those few hundred yuan

per box of facemasks we bought the girls

for supposedly super moisturizing effect?

Super how?

Can they make you look twenty again?

Without them

we have enough money to spend for ourselves

That's true

But money can wait

Girls can't

They're not growing any younger

I'll take this one

Let's go

I picked that one for myself

Keep in turns

When the twins arrive

how can we tell them apart?

You're right

We should have a game plan first

Since they are twins

the looks are the same

So that leaves personality

From what I heard

The older sister is more easygoing

The younger one is more shy

Lin Jia is too hard-headed and uptight

I'll go for the easygoing one

I'll take the older sister

Ding Dian is too crazy

I'm in need of a gentler touch

so I'll go for the younger sister

Perfect!

What if we get drunk later

and confuse them two?

Confuse

You two are

- twins? - Uh-huh

There are two types of twins

Identical twins and fraternal twins

We are the latter type

I take after our dad

Your dad must be pretty good-looking

Uh-huh

I take after our mom

Your mom

must be loaded

Uh-huh

So you two

which is

the bigger sister?

And which is the younger one?

I'm

the big sister

I'm the little sister

Hi there

I thought

the younger sister is more shy?

You'll see when we get to know each other more

Yeah you'll see

Something

must have gone wrong

at the time of their conception

I mean

The contrast

is kinda overwhelming

Yours is alright

Mine is a bit too much

Bro

you know what beer googles mean?

What do they mean?

You'll find her attractive when you're boozed up enough

I don't think I can ever booze up enough for that

Dear

It's time to divide and conquer

Little Sis

A break?

- Here - Let's have a drink

Here, let's have a drink

There you go

Careful. Slow

I wanna go home

I don't wanna go home

I'm starving

Let's go eat

Whatever you want

Let's go eat

You take care of my sister

- Baby, let's go. Let's go eat - Yeah

Good man

Let's go. I got you

Not my clothes. Not yet

We're still in public

In there. Careful of your head

So drunk

What are you looking at?

I'm just wondering

where you're gonna sit?

Man

Follow that car in front. Quickly

You say

Follow?

Okay

Man

How much is it? Let me pay you

You're the man

No need to pay

Kinda too wasted

to tell who's who

Here, man

Here is my card

In the future

call me whenever you need my service

in situations like this

How was last night?

A disaster

I want easygoing

not easy

I know I know

We'll get it right

How did you get back last night?

Designated driver

But there were three of you?

The little sister was with you?

She passed out and I put her in the trunk

I hope she's not dead

I'm afraid

I can't do the double-date with you tonight

My date suddenly backed out on me

Besides

maybe it's better not to go on

an important rendezvous like that

Okay. But besides

the look

I'm also kinda curious about

what makes your date suddenly backed out on you

Beats me

I don't know what's the matter lately

A lot of girls I hit on when hearing my name

gave me a haha

and then defriended me

I need to find out why

You must have messed up with the wrong girl

None of your business

Fine

Spit it out. What do you want?

Last time we met

you said you wanted closure with me

You've got your closure?

Yes

Good

Today

I'm gonna have my closure

Let me ask you

Have you been out there telling everyone

that I dumped you?

- No - No?

You listen to me

We

parted in peace

Nobody owes nobody nothing

There's no one to blame

If you want to blame

then blame fate or whatever

But now you are saying that I dumped you

That's totally different

You painted yourself the victim

and me the bad guy that walked out on you

What good does that do you?

So that people would despise me

and pity you?

Even worse is

that you wrote up this lengthy message

and sent it to not just one

but ten biggest local WeChat dating groups

along with small incentives to encourage people to repost it

There are only so many young eligible people

in this city

You basically had them all covered

You're the one who started that whole confession thing

Then you couldn't handle it, said you were done with me

told me to pack my bags. You wanted to break up

And then you wanted

a closure

Let me ask you

from that confession thing till today

did I ever say one word

of wanting to break up with you?

How did I suddenly become the jerk that jumped ship?

You tell me

did I or did I not?

If I did

you can drag my name through the mud

you can drag my name through the mud

And

I won't stand in your way

I'll just take it

So say it

Did I or did I not?

Say it!

What are you doing?

You're being mean to me

I was just

talking about facts here

You are being mean

I'm not even your girlfriend anymore

You think I'm stupid

You got that Marco dude

to bait me

Wasting my whole night to play along

How did you find out?

Mutual Friends Hello?

All those "likes" and comments you've given each other

I'm not blind

Kinda forgot that

Let me ask you

Besides Marco

Are there any guys who have hit on you?

Of course

But

Not as many as the girls you've hit on

How about we see about that?

From this moment on

whenever a message comes in

if it's from an opposite sex

the recipient drinks a shot

I'm in

Speak of the devil

You don't need to see if it's a guy or girl?

Let's cut the crap

We both know

It's the middle of the night

Time for hookups

People wait to text otherwise

Right

See how quiet my phone is

Your speculation goes poof in the air

What the hell?

Who starts a group chat at this hour?

Count how many girls in that group and there you go

You wanna kill me?

Here

It broke

You're too heavy-handed

What should I do with this?

Just leave it

I'll do another one

Again

Yeah

You sober?

Still a bit hazy

Go back to sleep?

Umm

Let's just sleep

Just sleep?

I mean

I've hooked you up with plenty new girls lately

Why haven't I seen any real progress?

New girls were fun

but I always feel there is something missing

Something called an ex-girlfriend?

No no

I just have this wrong taste in my mouth

Taste?

Are we still talking about dating?

Not something else?

I'm still eating okay?

Now I'm getting pictures

I know

what your problem is

You were mistaken

in your overall game tact

You've been

using Lin Jia as some kind of a red flag

Whatever there is in her personality

you went for the opposite

But for someone who's used to MAC

you have them suddenly switch to Windows

they'd feel things are not quite right

I have a problem for you then

What would you think if those twins from the other day

were your daughters?

I'd die before I let them grow up like that

Sons are so much easier

You'd worry all the time with daughters

You see

I think differently

From a long-term perspective

Daughters are better

Why?

Your daughter's child

is definitely your grandchild

But your son's child

Maybe someone else's

What do you mean?

Sorry that you had to

give a ride too

I wasn't doing anything anyway

Thank you

Marco

You sure?

Okay. Got it

What happened?

He's saying

Lin Jia and Ding Dian are

at a party tonight

A pretty rough one

Hell. I need to go

Ms. Lee

hooks up girls with rich boys

in exchange for some business advantages

And a lot of girls are eager to have her as middleman

to get to meet with those rich boys

But it's a high-class gig

That means your two girls

are definitely there up to standards

Excuse me?

You didn't catch suspicion?

No. I know one of the guys

And I was just dropping by

and happened to see them

So I snuck out to call you guys

I should be fine

They haven't met me in real life any way

But who are the people in there?

Besides solid family backgrounds

everyone there are a force to reckon with

There is Chief, a Northtown top player

Karaoke hookups are his home game

Dude's a mood maker

especially with male-female duets

D-Blade, Southend bar whiz

Fortune telling is his game

Horoscope, palm reading

The usual "destiny" spin

Lil' Three, Eastside royalty

The Dice King

You don't even see it coming. The whole city's his hunting ground

Has never missed a catch

Things are not looking good

What's the situation now?

How many bottles have they ordered?

Is there champagne?

Yes. That's why it's serious

Those rich boys are definitely

going in for the kill tonight

What are you doing?

I'm going in to get them out

Who do you think you are now?

You barge in like that. What if Ding Dian says it's none of your business

What you gonna do?

Then what should we do?

We use our brain

Who?

Where did they go?

Hello Ashley?

Are you cutting in on my scene now?

Huh?

You're not here?

Who can it be then?

Amy's been around here lately?

Found it. That's him

Marco

One of Yu Fei's home boys

I thought he looks familiar

He just popped in and out

Then all the guys were gone

You're saying Yu Fei is here?

He's definitely here

Stealing away guys from right under our noses

This is vile

But when does he get to be so clever?

Maybe Meng Yun is here too?

Come on. Let's go find out

What a coincidence

You girls are here too

Yu Fei. Stop

I recognized Marco

Fine

Do you know who you've been hanging out with?

Those guys are a bunch of wolves

Unless you want to be taken advantage of

after they get you drunk?

Wow

So you're actually looking out for me?

But didn't we already break up?

I mean

Meng Yun is totally right

He's here?

No

No?

No

You can see for yourself

Lin Jia

Lin Jia

What's the matter?

You and Chole stay and have fun

I'm gonna go first

Don't mind them

We can just hang out ourselves

I'm not feeling it

You and Yu Fei are fine

Lin Jia

What a blowout

This is not gonna be cheap

I have the feeling

that Lin Jia would want

you to show up

You're already here anyway

Why not

just let her know

Pal

I was just walking a friend out

and saw your girl

sitting outside on the steps alone

Looks

pretty upset

"Wang Xin: You're out?"

"How do you know?"

"I didn't leave"

I mean

she's got

a new apartment

a new bed

- a new life - Right

I should have known there'd be a new guy

I bet that is the guy

who went traveling with her

who was there with her

and took all those photos for her

I'm so stupid

I was still waiting for her to come around

- Give me my phone - Don't

I wanna ask her

- Don't - Was that guy already in the picture

before we broke up

- Don't - Phone

I told you don't

Lin Jia. Tell me

Who's that son of a bitch you went off with?

You get back here now

- Now! - No

Now!

No

Recall it

"Meng Yun recalled a message"

"Were you in that KTV?"

"Lin Jia recalled a message"

Don't

Come on. Don't

Okay okay

It's okay

Getting drunk is kind of a good thing

It'll make you forget what you do afterwards

while it will make you never forget

the feeling you felt that moment

What happened that night in that karaoke place

feels unreal as if it had not happened

But at the same time I can feel

a real heartache

I never imagined

the first time Lin Jia and I met after we broke up

would turn out like this

I quite envy Yu Fei and Ding Dian actually

All those run-ins after their breakup

feel to me a kind of cranky,

coy expression of how much they miss each other

Hello

What?

Another

closure?

I mean

This is way too frequent

Even more frequent than before

I don't think my body can handle it

Don't

Don't drink it by yourself

Got it

You go

I'll be fine on my own

Drink with the man

What are you guys waiting for?

Come on

Some of you drinkers need to show it

- You hear me? - Here

Cheers

- Here, Mr. Zhou - Cheers

- Mr. Zhou - Yeah?

Next should I proceed to draw up the design plan?

You guys are working fast

And I see how hard working you are

Do proceed please

I feel

that I can totally just sell my apartment

and move in to live in the office

And I'll have more space

Funny

The man is implying something. I got it

I didn't

You're implying that you're still single

Am I right?

Now all you girls have to

- seize this opportunity - Just misunderstanding

That's not what I meant

It's okay to have the need

No

I don't

I'm so so so sorry

Too much traffic today

- What's going on sweetheart? - Too much traffic

Too much traffic

Sorry, everyone

Sorry

How about I introduce you to someone

This is Meng Yun

- This is my... - Hi, my name is Wang Zi

Zi spells "Z-l"

- Nice to meet you - Nice to meet you

This is...

Wang Zi

Wang Zi

I'm sorry

Okay, well

about the design

I'm not gonna be involved personally

Wang Zi is authorized to act on behalf of me on everything

Okay

Sure, no problem

About the design, I'm pretty picky

I'll look at every detail

Looking forward to it

Let's drink to that

- Here - Sure

You two drink

Cheers

Eat some food, sweetheart

It's gonna get cold

I'm not eating this

Why

It's too oily

How about that?

That's even worse

Everyone get ready

A representative from the client

will be attending our design meeting today

Okay

Hello Meng Yun

Wang Zi?

What? Think I'm not dressed official enough?

No

Casual is good

You're the boss

Meng Yun

I'll call you old man

Old man?

How old are you, kid?

I won't tell you

It's a secret

Mr. Zhou is your uncle?

Yes why?

Who else do you think he is?

Nothing

You're bad

We have different people

in different stages of our lives

There are always some people coming

and some people leaving

some friends

that come close somehow

and some lovers

that somehow drift away

Thank you

Loneliness

is a common symptom in big cities

People get together not because they enjoy each other's company

but because they're afraid of being alone

What about the dozen dating groups you're in?

I'm quitting all of them

What about all those girls you befriended?

I'll delete them all

Yu Fei and Ding Dian continue with their never-ending breakup

while I'm drifting towards another direction

What did you get it?

I stopped asking for any news about Lin Jia

I have faith in your company

It's young, lively

full of energy

Wait!

So pleasure doing business with you

Same here

Uncle, let's go!

Okay, let's go

- Bye - Bye, Mr. Zhou

Bye

Watch the steps sweetie

We're here

Wang Xin?

You came?

Boss

Same as usual, but make it two

Sure

Isn't that the same boss

who had that diner outside our old school?

Uh-huh

But that one's demolished

It took me a while to find his new business here

But the food still tastes the same

It was such a tiny shop

It's kinda sweet of you to even bother looking

But I never forgot it

I just go to work everyday

Not much to do besides that

And I don't go out that much

So I'm pretty free

So I just walk around

and check out stuff

I actually think it's kind of a nice way to live

It feels very grounded

Or you can say I have no ambitions

Right?

You don't have to have much to be happy

Here you go

You two enjoy

Thank you

Taste it

I'll start then

It is the same

I'm really jealous of all you kids growing up in a rich family

You're so carefree everyday

Not like us

we have to make it out all on our own

Do you still think of her, Old Man?

Sometimes

Then do you like me?

Yeah

Then let's be together

Actually

you two are just waiting

Waiting for what?

Waiting for the other person to let go first

Old Man

Are you taking what I said seriously?

I'm just messing with you

Never mind

Now you make me feel embarrassed

I'm really curious

What is Lin Jia really like?

Tell me

I'm not telling my relationship stuff to a kid

Just tell me please

Welcome. How can I help you?

"Lin Jia"

What's that?

A pre-ordered coffee for a guest

- I'll have the same - Sure

- Thanks - You're welcome

Hello

Your coffee

Thanks

That girl over there is kind of weird

Do you know her?

Her drink's on me

Hello

Meng Yun

Today

your little girlfriend ambushed Lin at my shop

She didn't talk to the girl

But she knew

I've never seen her so upset

I don't know

how that girl managed to upset her so much

without even saying anything

Maybe only you would know

Meng Yun

You two are torturing each other

If you feel there's no going back

then let her go

If you don't want to let it go

then tell her

Why don't you pick up?

After we broke up

I know Meng Yun has been around with

other girls

but whenever Ding Dian showed me

those girls' photos

I didn't feel threatened at all

Because I knew those girls could never get to him

But when I saw that girl today

you know what I saw?

What?

A fearlessness

all so familiar

She is me

when me and Meng Yun just met

That pure adoration for the person you love

That sureness and confidence

She reminded me of the time

when Meng Yun was pulling all those all-nighters at the office

I wasn't even worried

I'm afraid of the dark

But I'd rather sleep with the light on

than make him come back home to me

But I failed to grow with him

as he became more and more successful

I became less and less confident

So I needed him to constantly spend time with me

and do all sorts of things

to prove he loves me

I lost the ability to give

without secondary thought

Where did that me go?

"No point in indulging in the memory and the drama"

"No point in ruining what we had with what we've become"

"No point in ruining what we had with what we've become"

I don't want to be alone

"Now I watch the lights"

"go out like an actor exiting a play"

"If this is the end of our story"

"I'll keep my dignity"

"Exiting at my cue with"

"no regret having loved you"

"There should be dignity"

"and no need to say sorry"

"I wasn't afraid to love"

"and now I'm not afraid to lose"

"We were the stars of our story"

"and we laughed and we cried"

"Now that story deserves"

"a dignified ending"

"When we loved, we loved with all our hearts"

I'm sorry, Old Man

"But holding on to that memory will drag me down"

"But holding on to that memory will drag me down"

I was just curi...

"There should be dignity"

My lover is the greatest hero in the world

Honey

What if we end up not being able to be together

like the Joker and the Fairy in the movie?

That's not possible

What if you don't want me anymore?

Then I'll have to dress like the Joker

and go stand in the middle of the busiest street

and shout ten thousand times

Lin Jia, I love you!

Good?

What if you don't want me anymore?

Then I'll have to eat a ton of mango

and die from allergy

No no no

Don't say that

I was kidding

Don't take it so seriously

What I dreamed for the future

made me blind to the needs right in front of me

I had been painting Lin Jia a perfect picture of our future

but it never occurred to me that

what she was caring more and more about was the present

She's not getting younger

So she wanted to be sure of a future on the basis of her present

But I

missed out on her present

That pair of men's shoes at the door that night

woke me up like a slap on the face

Made me realize how important "here and now" is

If I were to be given a second chance

I would definitely be with Lin Jia

the way I'm being with Wang Zi now

But there is no second chance

Let's just stop here, Old Man

Why?

You wanna go back to your own home tonight?

What we've had lately has been great

Old Man

You've been so sweet

But I can't shake off the feeling

that I've ripped off from somebody else's benefit

That it was Lin Jia

who has turned you to be so sweet

I know why you like me

It's because I'm a lot like her isn't it?

We both like puppies

Like to break the egg into the noodle

while cooking instant noodle

And most importantly

we both like that focused look you have when you're working

What's so sad is that

the more you like me

the more it means that you can't forget her

You two still haven't

said a proper goodbye to each other

Right?

I was thinking maybe

things would've turned out better if I had showed up a bit later

then I wouldn't have known who Lin Jia is

And I wouldn't have felt that

you've been nice to me as a way to make up to her

I thought about just leaving without saying anything

but I still had this tiny bit of hope that

what if

you aren't seeing me as a replacement for her

then I would be giving up on such a good man for nothing

Can you give me an answer?

How about this

Old Man

I'll give you an opportunity for a romantic gesture

Before I

turn that corner

If you call out

You love me

I'll immediately

run back to you

I'm starting now

I want you to think clearly

Lin Jia's moving away

to live in

a place without you

With Wang Xin?

Yeah

You two

one thought the other wouldn't leave

one thought the other wouldn't let her leave

Naturally things have run their course

Will you go say goodbye to her?

I will in a way

Lin Jia

I love you

Lin Jia

I love you

Lin Jia

I love you

Lin Jia

I love you

Lin Jia

I love you

Lin Jia

I love you

Lin Jia

I love you

Lin Jia

I love you

Lin Jia

I love you

Lin Jia

I love you

Lin Jia

I love you

Lin Jia

"One year later"

Maybe this is the so-called fate

My job is to travel some road with her

until a person who could

make her his whole world showed up

And her job is

to make me grow

And our breakup

was the final lesson

It took the entirety of my early adulthood

to finally understand that one movie

Only when the Fairy leaves the Joker

the Joker can grow to be the Monkey King

Growing is painful

Mr. Meng

The designer of the posters is here

When you've grown up

you don't necessarily have gained things

but you definitely have lost things

You designed all these?

Yeah

"Six years ago"

Honey

Today's the first day of you building up your own business

You go out there

I've got your back

Don't worry, babe

I will conquer the world

And you'll be my queen

Bye, honey

Bye, honey

"Goodbye"
