Hold still.

Looking sharp.

Feels like

we're heading to the altar.

Jittery?

About time.

Does it still hurt?

Shall we?

Court is now in session.

In 2005,

Zhai Fengmao trafficked me

out of the country.

A year later,

he sold me to

Kao in Jinguo.

I was forced into smuggling.

With police help,

I made it back home

in 2008.

I started college

in 2005,

losing contact with

my only family.

I came back

to Vineton in 2011

as an auditor.

That's when I

found evidence

of Zhang Bin's crimes.

As an auditor

for Mingtong,

I present this evidence

under professional guidelines.

I swear that my testimony

is the truth.

The court has reached a verdict.

Please rise!

Having reviewed the evidence

and the public indictment,

this court rules that

defendants

Zhang Bin

and Tao Jiang

bypassed

customs controls

to

smuggle

germanium,

a highly

restricted

rare earth

metal.

This is a severe criminal offense

with devastating social impact.

They

violated

the penal code

and

must

face justice.

Zhang Bin

directed

and controlled

the entire operation

as the

lead offender.

Tao Jiang

acted

as his accomplice,

handling the

logistics.

Weighing

the facts

and the sheer damage

done

to

our community,

this court

sentences you

as

follows:

Defendant

Zhang Bin,

for

smuggling,

arson,

and

attempted murder,

you will serve a term

of

life imprisonment

and

forfeit all civil rights

for the rest of your natural life.

Defendant

Tao Jiang,

for

smuggling,

you are

sentenced

to eight years

in prison.

Finally, with regard to

the 2005 arson that

resulted in the death of a civil servant

and the fraudulent schemes involving Kuang Corp,

the defendant,

Zhai Fengmao,

is now in custody.

For these

heinous crimes,

this court sentences you

to life imprisonment,

with the permanent deprivation of all civil rights.

This concludes the sentencing.

This court is adjourned.

I still have a few days off.

Finish up this to-do list.

Once we're done,

let's invite

the gang over

for dinner.

You're selling off my whole life.

What's in it for me?

You get to be with me.

Duh.

Where are we running off to?

To the ends

of the earth!

Babe,

you're officially responsible

for me now.

It's a promise.

We're a package.

Deal?

Hang this up.

Without the pole.

I'm too short, you idiot!

Just jump for it.

Oh, sure. Watch me fly.

Are these chopped or butchered?

He's useless.

Classic.

Put this here.

Dude,

just step away, please...

Not good?

It's totally fine...

Hey,

look...

Stop, sweetie...

Don't suck on it.

Where are

the clippers?

Hey,

don't scratch it.

In the

pink bin.

Just stay still.

Can you grab it?

Yeah, hold still,

OK...

Sweet!

There you go.

Hey, Zhou.

We're making hot pot tonight.

Join us.

[Nah,]

[you kids have fun.]

An old head

will ruin the vibe.

Hey, Mr. Zhou.

Here for the pickup.

Got it.

Just a sec.

What are you guys up to next?

Reopening

the pool club.

[Thanks, sweetie.]

I've got no real skills, man.

Always just

followed your lead.

Plus, the kids are itching

to get back to practice.

Yeah.

The walls need work.

We've delayed it forever.

We've been hitting

Home Depot

to get

the right plaster.

Total headache.

He can pitch in

before we go.

Since when do you do manual labor?

I can patch walls like a boss.

Back when she was in school,

I did every odd job in town.

So...

your flight

is

already set?

Leaving on Saturday.

No airport drama, alright?

Keep it easy for me.

Man,

you were

barely home.

Now you're taking off

again.

I'll be back

for New Year's.

Yeah, but...

sh*t, man.

I don't know

how to say it.

We go way back,

you know?

You're like my brother.

Don't get all sappy.

I just hate seeing you go.

You'll be fine.

They're leaving us behind.

F*cking cold-blooded, right?

C'mon, let's toast.

I'm in!

Toasting to the move!

Cheers,

everyone!

What about you?

Oh,

nothing new.

My salon is solid.

I might

get some extra hands.

I really wanna be with my boy.

But nothing's set

in stone.

Yo,

we got a classic line-up!

You guys ready?

What?

Hey,

to beat the blues,

I'm gonna sing

for you guys.

OK,

listen up.

Stop staring...

Keep eating.

Pretend

I'm some

street busker.

♪Should old acquaintance...♪

♪Be forgot...♪

♪And never...♪

♪And never brought to mind?♪

♪And days of auld lang syne!♪

♪For auld lang syne, my dear!♪

Come on! Drink up!

Pretty good, huh?

You killed it, babe!

Bottoms up!

Hi, beautiful.

I have some great news.

Zhang Bin got the book

thrown at him.

Zhai is locked up for good.

It's finally over.

I know the kids

came by.

Honestly,

we couldn't do it without them.

Yi is

a grown man now,

but he still acts

like a kid.

Thank God Jing's got his back.

She's the real deal now.

Top of her class,

audit manager,

highest degree

out of all of us.

They should be

flying out now.

Moving to the big city.

Good for them.

God bless'em.

You can finally rest, my love.

So you go to work,

and I do what?

Housework and cooking?

Sounds perfect.

Major deja vu.

Like what?

Years ago,

at the bus station.

I had you on the back of my bike.

We rode for

what felt like forever.

You

fell asleep against my back.

Feels like a lifetime ago...

I know.

Hey, look.

The sunset is beautiful.

Well, well.

Miao Jing.

Cen Ye got

kicked out again, huh?

Guess he couldn't

handle the heat.

It's called business travel.

You can tag along

if you want.

I don't lick boots.

Everyone knows

he screwed up.

He killed

the Haoyun audit,

and Hongshen lost their minds.

He's done for.

You talk a lot for a loser.

Be glad Monica

saved your job.

You took bribes from Haoyun

and got yourself demoted...

Yet you're

still talking trash.

Jing!

Need a hand?

What?

Packing up your desk?

Serves you right!

Your sugar daddy's is gone,

you're

outta the game.

She got her own office.

You didn't know?

A private office?

No f*cking way!

Yes f*cking way.

Because

I actually

do my job

and mitigate risks.

For your information,

Haoyun is a criminal syndicate.

Cen Ye is

working with

the police now.

That's why HQ

and the client

are keeping this quiet.

The official announcement

will be

on the portal soon.

Oh, and about my new title?

Check your inbox.

Junior,

move aside.

Tell

the new guys

dinner is on

the new manager.

Let's mingle!

On it, boss!

Woohoo!

She actually got it!

Told you.

She is the queen!

Never doubt me.

Hell yeah!

Awesome!

She crushed it!

Party tonight!

Yay!

What's the plan?

Let's go crazy!

What's the plan?

Where we going?

Shall we...

Hot pot!

This looks so good.

Tastes even better.

The pies are here!

Let's get a toast going

for the queen!

Congrats, girl!

We're so proud of you!

Love you guys!

Let's go!

Congrats on the raise!

Bottoms up!

Cheers!

I knew she'd get the raise.

I'm gonna eat my weight

in pizza!

Oh, absolutely!

I'm Ma Yang.

On Cen Ye's team.

Looking forward to working

with you all.

Cheers!

Come on!

Drink up!

Help yourselves, please.

Thank god,

I was starving.

Take some.

This is incredible.

You gotta try this one.

Cool.

Hey, babe.

[Where you at?]

Eating with the crew at Sino Bistro.

Don't wait up for dinner.

I'm in the neighborhood.

I'll come

get you.

We're on the main floor.

Wanna join us?

Sure.

So~ Coming back

with a hot plus-one, huh?

A 6'3'' total stud!

Girl knows how to shop.

[OK.]

Babe!

Oh, dang!

That's him!

That's her guy? So hot.

What a looker!

Am I crashing

the party?

No,

not at all!

Make room for him!

Come on, here!

Please!

Hey,

get some forks here!

Hey, guys.

Name's Chen Yi.

Her guy.

Hey, you staying here

for long?

For good.

I'm hers now.

We're gonna get beers, man.

Aw... so sweet!

C'mon,

dig in!

Gracias!

Come on.

That lamb is heavenly.

C'mon, eat!

Here.

So, when is the big day?

Excuse me?

Seriously?

[Water, please.]

Come on!

You two are head over heels.

Where's the ring?

Hey,

stop grilling them.

Just

stuff your face

already!

Hey...

meh...

Have some warm tea for your cramps.

Hey,

you better

lock her down.

Guys at the office

are lining up for her.

Can't blame'em. She's a keeper.

True that.

What are we missing?

Pasta?

Ooh, grab this too?

I need more food.

That portion was a joke.

You should've

said so then.

88 for broccoli?

That's

a total rip-off!

My trophy husband, everyone!

I gave you cash

weeks ago,

and you never asked for more.

Babe,

inflation is real,

You're my sugar mama now.

Gotta watch

the dimes.

C'mon, housewife.

When we getting that car?

Cruising in the cold

sucks.

We barely unpacked.

Chill,

we'll get it later.

Going stir-crazy yet?

Nah, I'm good.

No job,

no crew.

You're like

a caged animal.

Wanna feel how wild I am?

Seriously,

though.

This town

is new to you.

Quit babying me, alright?

Listen to this.

I'm listening.

I actually

went to see you after

I got back home.

When I was in college?

Why didn't you say hi?

You were playing badminton.

You literally

glowed, babe.

And I

was a total wreck.

Hitchhiked for days.

Smelled like hot garbage.

I didn't want to spook you.

Survival changes you.

You grow up,

you learn.

I was

used to

the dark.

I thought my shadow

would only ruin you.

But seeing you again...

it woke me up.

I wanted to push you out,

but I was starving for you.

Now?

I'm your shadow.

Wherever you step, I'm there.

Babe...

I didn't care

if you looked down on me.

But...

you are my home.

The only place

I fit.

I want your life

to shine.

If being

consumed

by you,

day and night...

if that's what love is...

then...

I love you way more!

On a scale of 1 to 10?

It's a solid 12.

Just one

tiny note?

Hard pass.

Tell me it's amazing.

Use insulated boxes, babe!

It's cold!

Here, your masterpiece.

Hey, babe.

I'm working out with Xiao Yu.

See you in a bit.

Love you.

Seriously?

You guys

are inseparable.

So, did he pop the question?

Question?

To marry him!

I'm not nagging,

but you guys

need to make it official.

I know.

We're just settling in.

One step at a time.

I get it.

But

you're

out of the woods

already.

It's all uphill from here.

From your lips to god's ears!

Let's go!

Alright.

Need a lift?

Sup, Jing.

My ride is here.

See

ya!

Later!

You're late.

No, I'm not!

I've been here

for a while.

What's for dinner?

I'm dying for hot pot!

Hot pot

it is, then.

Hey, stop piling it on!

I haven't been starved, OK?

You've had

a brutal couple of months.

Sold

your ride and

the rest of your sh*t.

We've got

extra savings

if

you're short.

Keep your damn card.

I'm good.

Go have fun

with your sweetheart.

Stop

worrying about me.

Hard to

have fun with

a permanent chaperone!

Screw you!

I didn't

ask to

cock-block you guys.

I'm here

to source inventory.

Yeah, right.

What inventory?

You haven't left my side.

It's kind of creepy.

Nah,

he's full of sh*t.

Hey,

have your fun,

boys.

But

I need a favor soon.

So... did you ask her

the "big question?"

Big question?

Is that a requirement?

School him, Rocky.

Hell if I know.

Never put a ring on anyone.

Look, man...

Some girls

dream of

a flash mob proposal.

Others are happy with

a calendar invite.

You gotta know

your target audience.

Hold on...

you

lost me.

Explain

like I'm five.

Not your business, kid.

Go find a chick first.

Then

I'll tutor you

privately.

Go to hell.

Cheers to my wedded bliss,

boys!

"DOGGED..."

What the hell

is that?

"D-O-G."

Duh.

No sh*t,

Shakespeare.

But

what's the

"G-E-D"

for?

Doesn't "-ed" mean

"turned into"

something?

So... "dog-ified?"

I actually

named it

in your honor.

Doggy style?

Dog-like?

Just... dirty dogs.

Dirty dogs?

Hey, that's an insult!

He's playing us!

Hey,

the place is

still a bit raw.

Needs some work.

Yo,

we'll handle it.

Relax.

It's in your hands.

We're on it!

Alright!

I knew

- Let's get to work! - I could count on you.

When it's ready,

Thanks.

Jing's gonna

love this place!

Hot! Hot!

Set it here.

Here.

Like the soup?

Home, sweet home...

Hey, babe.

I'm dead.

Let me pamper my boss.

Dig your fingers in.

It's not porn!

Gotcha! Ha!

Pork chops?

New recipe?

Is this for me?

For myself.

And?

Tu Li!

Great.

I'll call Cen Ye.

Double date?

I'm still learning.

Hold me...

Can't sleep...

Rest on my arm.

Doesn't work...

You gotta work.

Want some sleeping pills?

Screw sleep.

Sun's coming up.

So calm.

No blushing anymore?

I was a clueless kid

with no taste in women.

No taste?

So who did you find later?

What?

It's just surreal.

It feels like

we won the lottery.

Like we stole this life.

And overnight,

we became adults.

Now we can stay up all night,

and no one

can stop us.

If we're not sleeping... what's the plan?

Hey,

hear me out.

I planned to

take you somewhere

beautiful

and romantic,

to make this special.

But honestly?

I came back

for you.

That's all that matters.

I just want us to be together.

Nobody else

but you.

Babe,

I love you.

And I want your love...

all of it.

Don't shut me out again.

Tell me to stay.

I don't want to be alone anymore.

I want a safe haven

with you.

Will you be my home?

Hey, you didn't answer my question.

Back in '08,

after I saw you at college,

I thought that was the end of us.

I thought my story

was over,

and that

was enough.

Then

I returned to Vineton

and just wasted away.

But three years later,

you saved me.

I am the luckiest man alive.

To survive

all that hell,

just to

have you in my arms.

Babe,

I love you!

[Wow, look at that!]

Thank you

for guiding me home.

Thank you

for being my light!
