Original subtitles

Qingfeng, are you listening?

I'm reading it to you.

I've always carried my keys with me since I was young.

I'm used to it.

I disagreed

when Canyang wanted to install the keyless door lock.

The things left behind by our ancestors

are slowly disappearing and becoming outdated.

That's right.

Do you still remember?

When we just got married,

I wanted a bicycle so bad.

We saved for months

and you bought me a Phoenix brand bicycle later.

Then we saved for another few months

and got you a Shanghai brand watch.

It's exactly like

how young people nowadays

save for months just to buy a bag.

Our golden days

are gone.

They're long gone.

Hello, are you He Fanxing?

-Yes. -Your delivery.

-Thank you. -Welcome. Bye.

All right, it's done.

The default password is six zeroes.

Reset it according to the manual and register your fingerprints.

-Okay, thank you. -You're welcome.

Dad, Mom.

Come and register your fingerprints.

So fast?

-That's right, hurry. -Come.

Mom, look. This is a GPS tracking wristband.

No matter where Dad goes, we'll be able to find him.

He'll never get lost.

So this blinking red dot means that

he's in the residential area now?

Yes.

This wristband is connected to my phone and Canyang's.

Both of us can check Dad's location anytime and anywhere.

-By the way, Dad. -Yes?

It's waterproof.

-You don't have to take it off. -Is that so?

Good thing I have this.

Your mom was planning to put Baylor's leash on me.

What are you saying?

This is really good.

-I'll help you put it on. -I can do it myself.

Who is going to help me put it on when you're not around?

Coming!

-I'll help you fasten it. -You're home.

We have a keyless door lock now?

Yes, register your fingerprints and connect your phone to the wristband.

-Wristband? -Yes.

-Let me see. -I got this for Dad.

Goodness.

Twins are truly telepathic.

I bought the same one.

Great. Give it to me.

Your sister said it can count my steps every day

and check our sleeping quality.

I have one now!

From now on, you won't go missing either.

I'm not worried about getting lost.

I don't have dementia.

I'm the one who has dementia.

Canyang, get the door.

Okay.

Look.

-Look at this. -Look.

Jiacheng, it's you.

Are your parents home?

-Yes. -Is Jiacheng here?

Come in.

Did you get off work early today?

Yes, I came to see Mr. He.

Come here.

Mr. He, this is for you.

She asked you out to play badminton so readily.

She must be up to something.

She is usually quiet

and focused on her job.

She's definitely tough.

I know.

She readily agreed to go

to my graduation party before.

When she is easy to talk to and she simply agrees to things,

then it's over.

You know her very well.

They have a neighbor called Mrs. Wang.

Her son dated a girl who is ten years older than him.

They caused a fuss

for the sake of their love.

His family strongly objected.

Mrs. Wang wanted to slit her wrist and hang herself,

and demanded her son to make a choice.

The relationship was doomed from the beginning.

He decided to listen to his mom.

He went on a blind date,

married a girl his family liked and had twins.

He's a happy man now.

The human heart has built-in intelligence.

When it encounters conflicts, it will adjust itself

to adapt to the world.

It will become flexible and positive.

It will justify and convince itself.

Without this function,

asylums would probably be everywhere in the world.

Actually, He Fanxing is not as brave as she thinks she is.

When she likes someone, she'll be overly cautious.

She's greedy and timid.

She wants it all.

If you're willing to commit to her,

I believe her family

might not object to it.

What I mean is

I'm one of the people she cares about.

I gave up on studying abroad for her on my own accord.

It was a huge blow to her.

When she likes someone,

she'll protect everything about him, including his dreams.

She'll try her best to remove his obstacles

and let him grow freely.

No wonder you can't get over her.

You and your dad are total opposites.

I understood these things after I broke up with her.

So you still won't back down.

In this world,

I suppose you don't always get what you want.

Now that I think about it,

when we were together,

I never considered her family's feelings.

I blamed her for caring about other people's opinions.

If we really went public with our relationship,

it would probably cause chaos too.

Our ending

wouldn't have been better than their neighbor's son.

If women are a school for men,

my son can finally graduate.

You're thinking like an adult now.

Do you still want me to get her back?

No.

No one can take what's yours and you can't take what isn't yours.

This is probably the conclusion from the adjustment of the heart.

You learn fast! Cheers.

-Look at these. -Look.

I think my babies are crying.

I'd better hurry home.

My mom can't do it alone.

Isn't your wife home?

Since I'm home, I let her go shopping with her friends.

Look.

Jiacheng is such a good husband.

You have really low standards for a good man.

I'll get going.

Mr. He, see you again.

Don't bring so many gifts next time.

-Okay. -Go.

Drop by when you're free.

Sure.

I'll walk him out.

Fanxing, it's fine.

Jiacheng.

How are things with you and your wife?

We don't fight anymore.

Do you love her?

I do!

I think it's not easy for her.

I'm just a highway tollman.

I'm often away.

She's the one taking care of our kids.

I think if a family

can stay together

with no trials or tribulations,

then that's happiness.

That's good.

Go on home.

I'm going, Fanxing. Get inside.

Are you drinking again? Stop!

Stop and be good!

Stop drinking.

I know you're upset.

Why did you let him drink so much?

You're finally here.

We're happy.

Look at you.

-Drinking can drown your sorrows! -All right.

Yuan Song!

-Yuan Song! -Go home!

Your dad is here to take you home.

Let's go.

Be careful.

-Good boy. -What's...

What's going on with you?

-I'm upset. -He's upset.

-Okay. -All right.

Dad's here.

I'll stick up for you. Don't cry.

Come, let's go home.

Hurry!

Hurry.

Why did you make him drink so much?

Come.

-Put the bill on my tab. -Okay.

This is my first time visiting and you have a meeting?

Isn't that rude?

Don't you know your priorities?

All right, just two hours.

Hurry.

NATURAL BEAUTY SPA FLAGSHIP STORE

Lily, should we go now?

It's nearby. It won't take long to get there.

Caiwei, check the gifts again.

Do you think these gifts are appropriate?

-I think it's a bit-- -Too little?

Prepare two more cards and add the NB1 Ultimate Restoration Facial.

MEMBERSHIP CARD

Here.

Didn't you ask Luming to give them this last time?

I've opened over ten spa salons.

This is our best lifting and anti-aging treatment.

Look at my skin. I just had a facial.

Not bad, right?

Give two more to Fanxing's mom. More gifts are always better.

Caiwei, you're going overboard.

You don't even need this many gifts for a marriage proposal.

What can I do?

Luming is 37 years old and still unmarried.

He finally found someone.

I have to find a way to help him.

-Let's go. -You two are truly a family.

Fanxing, if one hand isn't strong enough, use two.

Canyang, wipe that corner!

You're tall. Don't waste your height.

Hurry, the guests will be here soon!

-Baylor! -Baylor!

He Canyang, why did you let it out?

I just mopped there!

He Canyang!

Why didn't you shut the door?

You...

Canyang! Keep the dog at your place!

Take it away!

Hongmei.

Hongmei!

Where is the starter

for my shaver?

What starter?

It's called a charger!

It's in the second drawer behind you!

Qingfeng, you can't wear the collar this way.

Put it down.

My dear daughter.

Go and change. Do your makeup. Don't just lay here.

-Hurry. -Why should I...

You look too formal!

They're coming to see Dad.

They're not only here to see your dad.

They're coming to check their future in-laws.

-Dressing up and putting on makeup -She's right.

is a sign of courtesy.

-Listen to your mom. -Mom!

-Get changed. -Hurry!

Gosh, this kid.

No, don't.

-Like this. -Where's Canyang?

Canyang is...

I asked him to buy two bottles of wine.

What for?

Aren't they going to eat with us later?

Coming!

Caiwei and Su Li, come in.

-Hi, Mr. and Mrs. He. I'm Ye Caiwei. -Welcome.

-You brought so much stuff. -These are for you.

Fanxing, help them.

Here, give me some.

Let me introduce you. This is my cousin, Su Li.

-Hi, Mr. and Mrs. He. -Nice to meet you.

Don't just stand here.

-Please come in. -Yes, please come in.

We were so busy back then that our heads were spinning.

Luming was in college then.

When holidays started, he'd take care of Minmin.

Minmin should be about

around three years old at that time.

Was she very playful?

Luming is very thoughtful and creative.

He made Minmin so happy every day.

Minmin is now closer to her uncle than to me.

It wasn't easy for you back then.

It wasn't easy.

That's right.

Luming is 37 years old now,

but he is still unmarried.

As for me,

I'm in my 40s and I'm turning 50 soon.

I'm not that much younger than you.

Gosh.

Although I care for him very much as a sister,

it's better to have a woman who loves him by his side.

They can look after each other.

You're right.

But Luming is a good catch.

Finding someone should be easy for him.

There are many girls who are compatible with him based on credentials,

but it's not easy to find someone compatible

that he likes as well.

Good thing he didn't find anyone.

He was waiting for Fanxing.

Well,

we're glad to see them together.

We also like Luming very much.

But they just started dating.

It's just for a short while.

Give them more time to get to know each other.

As parents, we can't be too anxious.

Marriage is not a mission you need to complete.

-Am I right? -That's right.

Let them make

-their own decisions. -Yes.

That's right. I do agree.

It'll take more than a year to renovate the house if they want to get married.

They can date

for a year or so.

They can enjoy their time alone.

Once they get married and have kids,

it won't be easy to go out on dates.

My throat is a bit dry.

Have some water.

-Have some water. -All right.

Listen to her.

No wonder Luming could have his own business.

His sister is a good talker.

This is called heredity.

If his sister was born 40 years earlier,

she'd have been a very popular matchmaker.

Everything she said was on point.

What point?

Since she walked in,

she never spoke any nonsense.

She said,

"Luming took care of his niece

since he was in college."

Doesn't that imply that he'll be very nice to his wife and daughter in the future?

She said he's 37.

She hopes he can get married soon.

It'll take a year to renovate the house,

so you can date for a year.

And then get married and have kids.

She's so good.

You got so much information from that?

I just heard her praising me.

Hey.

Be honest with me.

Why did you agree

to let Caiwei visit us?

It's nothing.

She wanted to visit Dad.

Could I refuse? My colleagues wanted to come too.

Isn't this the same as meeting each other's parents?

Are you hiding something from me?

Look at my eyes.

Something's up.

What's up?

Mom.

What are you thinking?

Can you get pregnant from holding hands?

No, definitely not.

Look at you.

Are you shy with your mom?

You can just say no.

But I just think that

you're being very strange.

Hongmei, let me help.

Don't treat me as a guest.

We're fine.

You're just in time.

I need to go to the toilet.

Come and help me shell the peas.

-Come. -No problem.

Hello.

Please move your car. This is a private spot.

All right.

-Luming. -Why are you here?

Park in the basement and go upstairs.

I'm waiting for the owner of the car that's in my spot.

It's my cousin's car.

I had a meeting, so she drove my sister here.

-I'll call her. -It's fine. It's your cousin's car?

Never mind. I'll call her.

-Do you have her number? -Yes.

-I just called her. -Luming, is your meeting over?

Wait a minute. I'll move my car first.

It's all right, there's no need.

It's you.

Have you met him before?

He's Minmin's boyfriend.

Do you remember me?

We met at the super spicy hotpot place.

I'm Minmin's aunt.

Luming, have you known Minmin's boyfriend for a long time?

You dad seems a lot better now.

What are your plans for him?

My mom doesn't work.

I'm planning to open a shop.

Then I can have a flexible schedule.

My brother has summer and winter holidays.

We'll be able to take good care of our dad.

Tell me honestly.

What do you think about Luming?

Well...

He likes to play tricks

and beat around the bush.

Other than that,

he's perfect.

Tell him to change if it bothers you.

Restrain him. Don't indulge him.

Caiwei, don't worry.

I know what you mean.

Luming and I are dating with marriage in mind.

That's right!

Set marriage as your target.

You must have a goal in whatever you do.

It's like taking a cab.

You can't ask the driver to just go around the city.

Yes.

Luming, you're here.

-Here. -Here.

-Have some braised meat. -You'll like this.

-Have a shrimp. -I'll help myself.

-Thank you. -Have some braised meat.

Hongmei, you and Mr. He are great cooks.

No wonder Luming always eats here.

Gosh, not just Luming.

Minmin has been here twice.

Really?

Why did you stop eating?

-Go on. -Go on.

Minmin loves to eat.

She goes wherever there is good food.

But Luming, you should have come alone.

Why did you bring your niece along?

Luming didn't bring her.

Canyang brought her here.

Minmin is Canyang's student.

Luming mentioned it before.

Canyang is a professor at Minmin's school, right?

I taught her an elective subject. The class has ended.

I'm going to the art institute next semester.

I'm no longer her teacher.

Don't say that.

As they say, "A teacher for a day is a father forever."

She must have many fathers then.

Sorry, I have chronic pharyngitis.

I have a lozenge that is very effective.

I'll give you some later.

Thank you, Mrs. He.

Dig in.

What?

What's going on with you, Luming and Su Li?

Nothing.

Why?

Has your secret love been exposed?

The walls have ears.

Yuan Song and I

kept our relationship top secret.

But apart from Dad and Mom,

my friends, colleagues,

and even others know about it now.

When did you find out?

When you told me you ran into Minmin at the hotpot place,

I already knew.

Every time you lie to me,

you scratch like a gorilla.

Please hide it well if you don't want me to know.

We're twins indeed.

My chest itches when I lie to you.

It's a physiological response.

When will you break up?

Why would we break up?

I'll teach at the art institute next semester.

We're dating both the uncle and the niece.

Do you think that's okay?

No. You break up with him then.

We're doing good. Why should we break up?

You won't last more than six months anyway.

You're the one to talk.

Did you and Yuan Song last over three months?

Talk to me when you and Ye Luming can do so!

You can't say that.

I'm dating him with marriage in mind.

All right, good luck then.

I'll break up if you get married. What do you think?

Deal!

How could you agree to such a thing?

My uncle is 37. He wants to get married so badly.

He even dreams of marrying your sister!

I'm used to fighting with Fanxing. I didn't want to lose to her.

What do we do now?

Stay positive.

Our chances of breaking up are high.

We're here. Remember to ask your husband to pick you up in an hour.

Okay.

It's a good thing that Fanxing wants to get married.

Really?

Do I look like I'm lying?

She told me that herself.

Considering her dad's situation,

she'll want to get married earlier to make him feel at ease.

In this regard,

women are really more mature than men.

That's right.

Why don't you plan your marriage proposal?

Girls really like that.

Many high-end wedding planners offer proposal planning.

Remember to ask your husband to pick you up in an hour.

I'm talking about your marriage proposal.

All right. I get it.

Be serious.

-I know. Okay. -I'm off.

By the way,

it's Minmin's dad's birthday next week. Come back early with her.

Okay.

-Drive safely. -Okay.

Why didn't you change into slippers?

Where are you taking your suitcase at this hour?

I'm not staying here anymore!

Where are you staying then?

I haven't even dealt with you yet. You're acting out first?

You want to move to He Canyang's place?

Why did you ask him to break up with me?

I have to back down just because you're dating He Fanxing?

As your uncle, what's wrong with doing so?

You know it won't last.

Why make it more complicated?

I didn't tell you precisely because it is complicated!

Can't we just live our own lives?

I don't care if you're 37 or 73.

Whether you'll marry her or break up,

that's in the future!

Of course I know first love probably won't last.

But I'm in love with him now.

I don't care!

-Where are you going? -To Zhanni's place.

Do you think this will solve the problem?

I don't see any problem to be solved.

But you're irritated with me now, aren't you?

Move aside.

Enough.

I can't catch up with you kids.

I'm exhausted.

Do you remember the first time we played?

We had a rally of over 20 shots.

That was so nice, but it feels like you want to kill me now.

How is that the same?

I didn't want to hurt your ego back then.

I play well too, okay?

Yes, you're incredible.

Why don't I buy you an ice cream as a reward?

I'll go and buy it.

You're obviously craving for it yourself.

Here you go.

-This homemade ice cream is-- -Is made from whipped cream.

So it's very tasty.

You always say the same thing.

When you're old, will you have dementia?

Do you want me to hit you until you have dementia right now?

I'm very sensitive to that word lately.

Don't mess with me.

Do I look sexy?

We haven't sat together like this for a long time.

That's right.

After your dad went missing,

I can miraculously understand you now.

Understand what?

In love, you're cowardly,

hesitant and self-contradictory.

It would be amazing to be a part of your family.

I like you more when I think of this.

Again?

Well,

I can't stop loving you now.

But I've decided to let you go.

I'm going to study abroad next May and study architecture for two years.

I'll meet many pretty girls every day.

Maybe I'll feel lonely

and fall for someone else soon.

Let's wait until you get admitted to school first.

What about you?

What are your plans?

Me?

Open a flower shop with my best friend,

take care of my dad and treat his illness.

Also, spend more time with Ye Luming.

Learn more about his good points.

Commit to this relationship wholeheartedly.

I can do anything as long as I set my mind to it.

Working hard on something like this sounds pathetic.

Isn't love a hormonal reaction?

What if you never had that reaction?

That won't happen.

Don't you see it on television?

There are people who have been friends for ten years

before becoming lovers.

They liked each other from the start,

but they were worried that it'd ruin their friendship

and kept their feelings bottled up.

I see.

-All right. -All right?

I'll try my very best

to break that bottle then.

What?

You're like this thing.

A kind of hybrid between a horse and a donkey.

It's called a mule. Do you know that?

Are you calling me stubborn?

One more round?

Bring it on!

-I'll crush you! -I'll tire you out!

You never have the time when I want to meet up.

Why ask me out for a drink at noon so suddenly?

I won't drink. I'll just eat.

I have a meeting later.

Is something up?

Name the price.

I want you to leave my son's ex-girlfriend.

How about this?

I'll increase the contract price next quarter.

Or I'll give you my company's shares.

What else do you want? Just tell me.

What is so funny?

I never expected

to hear these things from you.

Tell me if you accept it.

Do you think you're in a drama from the nineties?

Of course, I won't accept it.

Isn't this how family dramas go?

Have you ever seen any female leads taking the money?

I thought you were different.

The gender is different.

But deep down, I do want to be the female lead.

So you won't take my offer then.

I can understand that you want to be a good dad.

But there's no room for negotiation.

You stole my son's girlfriend

and now you're leaving no room for any discussion?

Wait. Let me clarify.

I didn't steal her.

At most,

I only cared about her.

Didn't you encourage me before?

You can't have double standards.

All right.

Speaking of relationships, I'm responsible as well.

How about this?

I'll give you a toast.

Drink up and consider this over.

Okay. If that's the case, we can't be friends anymore.

We're done.

Done?

You want to end our friendship because of this?

Whenever I see you,

I'll think of the dumb things I did.

I feel that I've done my son wrong.

I was an accomplice.

It's not that serious.

Fine. May the best man win then.

What do you mean by that?

Work-wise, the advertising manager will liaise with you.

There will be no need for us to meet.

We'll have nothing to do with each other.

When we meet again, you'll be my enemy.

You said there's no need to meet,

but I'll be your enemy if we meet.

So are we meeting or not?

Can we still drink together in the future?

Steven.

Don't call me that anymore.

We're not that close.

If you ever mention me, do call me Mr. Song.

CONFINEMENT CENTER

You broke up with Dongyang and moved to the school dorm.

Have you gone nuts?

I need time to find a place, right?

Right?

Are you nuts to break up with Dongyang?

Hey.

Have you ever asked him about his thoughts?

You're so bossy!

Why is having a little baby so troublesome?

Of course.

He has to have a mom, a dad,

and be in a household registry.

Why divorce then?

Just stay married.

Am I the same?

I got a divorce.

I'll find a good dad for Peanut and Malty.

He'll be gentle and family-oriented.

And he'll take them to Disneyland every day.

What do you think if I name my baby Rice?

Everyone in the family is a crop.

I'm talking about you.

Get serious.

Well,

shouldn't your baby be named Tiantian?

Someone's glowing after her resignation.

Tell me. Who did you play badminton with?

Mr. Ye definitely doesn't have the time.

My ex-boyfriend.

You two really worry me.

Why worry?

-What's up with Professor Song? -She was lecturing me.

She said a child should have parents and be in a household registry.

That's true.

How about this? Marry He Canyang.

This way, the baby will be in our household registry.

If you marry him, my mom will be thrilled!

Hold your horses.

Don't say it like it's going to be a fact.

It's Dongyang.

Should I answer?

No.

Forget it.

You've been together for over ten years, right?

That has never changed.

It's good that you're on a break.

Maybe you'll grow fonder of each other.

I meant it when I broke up with him.

Did you not hope for him to ask you to stay?

See?

The essence of love is torture.

Even if he can leave you readily, can you do the same?

Reflect on yourself.

Don't be pretentious just because he loves you.

Dongyang is your baby's dad.

You don't even want to let him know.

This is ridiculous.

After you've decided to get a divorce,

you've become a changed person.

The bossy lady is back.

There are only women who play dumb,

never women who are really dumb.

Fanxing, you're the same.

You and Mr. Ye

have met each other's parents already.

You're moving so fast.

Are you going to marry him?

Yes.

I want to get married.

So everything is all set,

except Fanxing's feelings for him?

I'm working on it.

Let me tell you.

I have

a journal.

I write down our daily progress

and methods to develop our relationship.

Here.

"Ways to cultivate relationships.

Cook together and chat.

Thoughts.

A great cook, very considerate.

Likes fish, especially saltwater fish.

Doesn't like eggplant.

Summary.

Had a great time eating and chatting,

but I didn't feel my heart race."

What do you think?

Any good suggestions?

I asked him to go to a movie tonight.

A romantic movie.

Why do I find this

very pathetic?

In today's pity party,

you're the champion.

You win.

You're the champion.

You're the champion.

You're the champion.
