[True Colours]

[Episode 3]

[To love in the face of scandalous
gossip is an act of courage. - Courage]

Nian Meng Yu, I'm curious.

Why are your living expenses
six times that of Jia Jia?

Mrs. Zhang.

Dad came to Nanjing to see Jia Jia.

I miss you so much.

It's no problem

Dad absolutely adores Jia Jia.

You want to speak to him? Hold on.

Dad, it's Mrs. Zhang.

Hello.

Zhang Ying.

Jia Jia's becoming quite the young lady.

I only wish our son
is half as capable as her.

Perhaps I should reduce his allowance.

Otherwise,

he'll never be as mature as Jia Jia.

You want to speak to Jia Jia? Sure.

Hey, Mom.

Please excuse me.

Come here, you.

When did you become so spoiled?

How could you spend so much money?

You can't expect me to eat
like a pauper, can you?

I've lost 2kg.

If others can eat at the canteen,
why can't you?

Look at yourself.

I should've sent you to military school.

Listen, I'm going to talk
to all your grandparents...

and ask them to stop giving you allowance.

Dad, don't! I'm already
studying medicine like you wanted.

Here's your allowance for the semester.

Spend it on your meal plan.

Thanks, Dad.

[Did you set him up again?]

Of course not.
I'm not that kind of person.

Do you think you can fool me?

I'm canceling your allowance as well.

Mom, don't.

How am I supposed to call you, then?

Didn't you spend RMB200 on a phone card?

[That's enough to cover your calls
for the entire year.]

That settles it.

I'll reimburse your expenses from now on.

Stop asking for money.

-[Yeah.]
-You're worse than a stepmother.

Goodbye.

I'm going to win that scholarship
and buy you a gift.

You'd better work hard, then.

That's it, then.

It's almost time.

You two should get going.

Jia Jia, since you won't accept
my money...

see if there's anything you like
in my winery.

Feel free to grab a few bottles.

I know you have a penchant for wine.

Uncle Nian, it's fine, really.

Just like you, I only drink whites.

I'm totally clueless
when it comes to red wine.

It'll be wasted on me.

I know how you feel.

I'm not a fan of reds, either.

White wine is all I drink.

You two should come more often.

Will do.

Don't just sit there.

Go back to school.

We'll see you, then.

See you, Uncle Nian.

-See you, Dad.
-See you.

Bye, Dad.

[These roaming charges are killing me.]

[I'd better stick to phone cards.]

What's she doing?

She's collecting bottles. It's so gross.

Yeah.

Jeez.

I wonder what it's for.

[Sanitary Checklist]

Nice. They didn't notice.

Lu Jia Jia, why are you
collecting bottles again?

People are starting to talk about you.

I'm just collecting bottles,
not bothering anyone.

But it's bothering us!

Do you have to hoard your trash
in our apartment?

These aren't trash.

I've cleaned them well.

Besides, they're hidden from the warden.

Clean trash is still trash.

This is not a junkyard.

Jia Jia,

aren't you tired of cleaning
bottles everyday?

Why bother with these filthy things?

Don't worry, I'll take care of it...

and keep it discreet.

Discreet?

Everybody's complaining.

Listen, if you don't quit,

I'm going to tell on you.

Don't think you can get away with it
just because the warden can't see it.

Ah Le!

Nice shot!

Awesome.

Someone's in form today.

I had a good sleep.

Don't throw away the bottle.

Why not?

Don't you know
Lu Jia Jia's collecting bottles?

Give it to her.

Mister,

I'd like a RMB20 phone card.

Here you go.

Good. Thanks.

Hey, Jack.

Do you miss me?

[What? Jack's not in.]

No way.

I told him I'll be calling tonight.

Why are you laughing?

[Nothing. He's not in, I swear.]

Where did he go?

[I'm not sure.]

[I think he went out to play ball.]

[The most common form of penile cancer...]

[is squamous cell carcinoma.]

It's characterized by papules,

cauliflower-like warts and ulcers
on the infected area.

Are you collecting bottles?

How much do you make?

I was quite the scavenger myself.

I used to sell old books,

padding them with tiles
to jack up the price.

Just be careful not to get caught.

Listen to me,

you'll never make any real money
collecting scraps like this...

Can you shut up?

Did you get what the teacher said?

No.

He's been yapping on about the same thing
for half an hour.

How could you miss it?

We'll starve if we don't hurry.

Wait, I have a score to settle with you.

What score?

I got detained thanks to you.

They say everyone fails
a class in medical school.

But now, I'm doomed.

Look who's talking?

I'm not the one who shouted
in the middle of a lecture.

I'm done.

Are you having lunch or what?

Of course. You'll pack it
and bring it to me.

I'm not in the mood to argue.

Had a fight with Xu Jie?

I wish. At least I could listen
to his voice then.

No wonder you're so testy.

You're taking your anger out on me!

You owe me a week's lunch.

Says who?

The teacher hates me,
I'll probably fail the class...

and it's all your fault!

What nerves of steel.
You're born to be a doctor.

What do you mean?

I can't even stand looking
at the food you're eating.

What's wrong with cauliflower?

Didn't you pay attention?

What did I miss?

Cauliflower-like warts.

[Lu Jia Jia!]

Yan Yan, you must reserve that phone.

I'll transfer RMB1000 to you
as soon as possible.

If you lend me RMB200,

I'll be able to buy that phone for Xu Jie.

Where did you get the money?

I just got my allowance from Mom...

[as well as some pocket money
from my aunts.]

You don't have to pay me back,

but you have to show me a good time
when I come to Nanjing.

You got it.

I'll treat you like an empress dowager
when you come here.

It's a deal!

See you. Bye.

Is Jia Jia on the class committee?

She appointed herself.

Class monitors get extra-credit.

She'd volunteered before Mrs. Zhao
even agreed to it.

Such a go-getter.

Jia Jia.

Do you mind moving out?

Why?

People are calling our apartment
a junkyard.

It's making us look bad.

See? All cleaned.

I promise I won't put them
under my bed again.

Do I still have to move?

Good. I'm going to the library. See you.

I don't want to live with her.

Me neither.

Do you think I want to live with her?

But she's cleaned up her stuff.

What can I do?

Hold on.

Something's wrong.

If her clothes are under her bed...

what's inside her closet?

Do you mean...

You again.

This is your second offense already.

Look at you, an only child
of two medical doctors.

Whatever compelled you to collect bottles?

Sai Nan said she'd talked to you
and you'd promised to quit.

But look what came out of your closet.

Yes, I did promise her...

I'd remove it from under my bed.

I didn't...

There were cockroaches!

Aren't you ashamed?

I admit... I was wrong,

but there were no cockroaches.

-I...
-Pardon!

Come in.

What did you do to upset our teacher?

How imprudent.

Mrs. Zhao, you look so good
even when you're angry.

What are you...

What do you want?

Nothing in particular.

I just wanted to drop by.

Didn't you tell us...

you're a member of a propaganda team
back in Yunnan?

So I asked my Dad about you.

He spoke very highly of you...

and sends his regards.

Your father knows me?

It's no wonder you don't remember him.

He was but a mere cadet...

who's unfit to talk to you.

Back then, half the platoon
had written love letters to you.

My Dad as well.

Oh my... that was a long time ago.

There weren't many female soldiers.

I guess it was easy for me to stand out.

Our sergeant even wanted me
to stay in the corps.

By the way, which platoon
was your father in?

There weren't many Nian's.
I should remember him.

Lu Jia Jia.

Didn't your mom tell you too?

Yes. My Mom said...

you were quite the bombshell
when you were young.

Lu Jia Jia, don't think I'll let you off
just because your mom was my comrade.

This is a serious matter.

Right.

Mrs. Zhao, aren't you being
a little too harsh?

But Jia Jia...

I know we shouldn't brag
about our achievements,

but this is no time to be modest.

You see,

Lu Jia Jia did it out of kindness.

She's passionate about the environment.

She can't walk past a waste wrapper
without picking it up,

let alone all the used bottles
that litter our campus.

She sells them to help her house leader.

Sai Nan came from a poor family.

Jia Jia told me...

she's going to send the proceeds
to her family anonymously.

Why didn't you say so?

Helping others is a good thing.

Why take the blame?
You're a good girl.

She wanted to do it all on her own.

We can't always rely
on our parents, can we?

Your kindness is commendable.

I'm going to announce it
to the whole faculty.

Please, don't.

Hush, dear.

I'll get to it.

See you, Mrs. Zhao!

Let's go.

Okay.

I owe you one.

You girls are scary, vicious creatures.

Do I have to give her money?

How much should I give?

She dresses and eats better than me.

Everyone's going to know.

You have no choice.

Just give her RMB200.

It's too much.

Don't feel like it?

Then tell Mrs. Zhao...

you did it to buy phone cards
to chat with your boyfriend.

After a month of hard work...

all I could scrape up was RM60.

Fine, I'll help you.

I'll give you RMB100 and talk to them.

You're a true friend.

Hello.

[Is Lu Jia Jia there?]

No. Anything important?

Sure.

I've bought Xu Jie's new phone.

[Please let her know.]

Phone?

Lu Jia Jia bought a phone for Xu Jie?

Yeah.

Didn't you know?

But she's still using an old phone!

That's love for you.

[Why didn't you stop her?]

Why should I stop her?

I can't stop my friend
from pursuing happiness.

Did you know...

Jia Jia has been saving up money
by collecting bottles...

[and living on free congee
from the canteen.]

[You call yourself her friend?]

Encouraging her to buy a phone
for a jerk like Xu Jie.

[Do her a favour...]

and break up with her.

Don't talk to her ever again!

No, hey... Hello?

Da Zhi, take care of the store.

I'm going out.

Okay.

Ma'am...

Ma'am, I'm here to see Lu Jia Jia.

I'm here.

What are you doing here?

I have no place to put my bottles,
so I left them with the housekeeper.

It's costing me RMB20 per month.

Didn't I tell you to quit?

How can I quit with you cutting my salary?

How would you parents feel
if they see you like this?

Can you please not to tell them?

Come here.

Xu Jie's new phone has been bought.

Yan Yan told you?

Why don't you do the books?
I'll pay you RMB200 more.

That doesn't mean
I'll stop collecting bottles.

Besides,

what if I might piss you off
and get a pay cut again?

I promise I won't deduct your salary.
Just stop collecting bottles.

Sure.

Ma'am.

I'm buying Jia Jia's trash.

Please dispose of them.

Make sure she doesn't go at it again.

Well then...

Take this.

Don't worry. I'll take care of it.

Thank you.

What are you doing? That's mine!

Ma'am,

collecting bottles is hard work.

I deserve to be paid, too.

How about we split it fifty-fifty?

See you.

You're in luck, Mr. Nian.

This shop was expanded
soon after its opening.

It's a prime lot!

Come...

Come.

Have a look.

Well, what do you think?

The kitchen seems new,
as if the last tenant left abruptly.

Was there any problem?

Don't worry.

I've all the papers.

The last tenant decided to venture into
something else right after renovation.

He is rich, so it didn't matter.

Fine. I'll take it.

What's all this about?

Come in.

You've went to town, haven't you?

Do you like it?

Wait.

Are you thinking of selling
packed lunches?

Count me out.

I don't have time for this.

Come on, I'm not going to boss you around.

Sure, and the sun rises in the west.

Don't you like to cook?

I've rented this place
as our own club house.

When you're free,

you may come over
and cook for me and Da Zhi.

Isn't that bossing me around?

I know you're feeling down.

So I've decided to lift your spirits
with something you love...

that also benefits me and Da Zhi.

It's a win-win method.

I'm so touched.

Mr. Nian, you shouldn't have.

That's what friends are for, isn't it?

This is too good to be true.
What's the catch?

You don't like it?

No, not really.

You're walking off?

After all I've done for you?

What good is a kitchen without groceries?

This is delicious.

It's been a while.

Delicious.

The hot one tastes better.

Jia Jia, you should make
dumplings more often.

You've gotten a little rusty.

Why don't you ask Ms. Fairy Princess
to serve you instead?

Xiao Hui's dainty fingers
are for playing the piano,

not doing chores.

Are you implying I'm a maid?

That's it, I quit.

Please don't. I love your dumplings.

If it weren't for Da Zhi,
I'd have taken the dumplings away.

You're feisty today.

That's the Jia Jia we know.

See? I told you I could cheer her up.

[Baby, have you had dinner?]

She's cheered up, alright.

Jia Jia, learn how to make Huaiyang
cuisine when you have time.

Xiao Hui likes it.

We should bring her here sometime.

When I first saw this shop,
I had a feeling she'll like it.

I knew it. It's about Sun Xiao Hui
after all.

I'll have you know...

I'll devote my life to Jack
after I graduate.

You and Xiao Hui will have
to find another cook.

Don't you know we eat with our eyes?

With Xiao Hui around,

every meal is a feast for my eyes.

Da Zhi, looks like
someone's yearning for a feast...

instead of dumplings.

Let's clear it away.

Let's not be hasty.

I'm not done yet.

Sorry, it's too late.

Wait, listen to me.

Not even a banquet...

can compare to your dumplings.

Well said.

That's more like it.

New Year holidays are near at hand.
I'm so happy.

[We'll see other soon.]

Let's go to Xinjiekou for the countdown.

[We'll have such a jolly time.]

[How about Purple Mountain?]

My roommate said you can see
the whole from there.

But I'll be in Beijing.

But didn't you say...

we'll see each other soon?

There'll be a holiday three weeks
after New Year's eve.

You're not planning a surprise, are you?

[Suddenly showing up
on the last day of 2000.]

I...

didn't say I'll go to Nanjing.

But you promised me we'll spend
the New Year's Eve together.

Sorry, Jia Jia.

I... forgot.

How can you forget?

It's the end of the century.

It comes around only once.

I don't think I'll live
another hundred years.

I didn't know...

we'll end up in different cities.

Besides...

with the tutoring, the final exams,
and the New Year's Eve party...

I'm almost burned out.

You're not the only student in your class.

But you're my only boyfriend.

How about this?

If you can't come,

I'll go to Beijing.

Tickets are hard to come by.

Save yourself the trouble.

Won't you stay at Nanjing
and wait for my present?

I've reached my dorm.

Bye.

Thanks for the concert.

I'm glad you liked it.

There's a New Year's Eve concert
at Shanghai Concert Hall.

I've got two tickets.

Will you go with me?

I can't.

I promised my friend
that I'd celebrate with her.

That's fine.
I'm actually quite busy myself.

I was planning to go back to Beijing
for business anyway.

That's a relief.

I was feeling bad
about declining your offer.

Thank god you have your own plans.

I'll be going to Beijing.

While I'm away,
you have full responsibility of my shop.

Business will be booming
on New Year's eve.

Da Zhi can't handle it on his own.

Why Beijing?

It's a business secret.
Why should I tell you?

-Will you tell me now?
-Alright... I will.

I want to open an Internet cafe.

Me and Liu Da are going to ask Marshal
and some rich friends to join venture.

What's the rush?

Why does it have to be on the eve?

Are career and money
all you men ever think about?

Of course.

A man is his career.

Isn't New Year's Eve
just another page on the calendar?

21st century, 20th century,
what difference does it make?

Why make a big deal out of it...

with the dates and the presents?

It's childish.

Try saying that in front
of Ms. Fairy Princess.

Xiao Hui is an intelligent young lady.

She'll understand.

Oh please...

If she doesn't give you hell over this,

she probably doesn't care about you.

We're a disgrace to Beijingers.

Especially you.

I'm going to Beijing, too.

-I'm taking a flight.
-Me too.

-Round-trip.
-Same here.

First-class.

I'll take economy class.

If that's not available,
I'll take first-class.

Take it out from my salary.

Lu Jia Jia...

what am I going to do with you?

If only you'd treat yourself half
as well as you treat Xu Jie.

I'm at the airport.

I'm boarding soon.

Same place as usual.

I'll come over as soon as I arrive.

[I'm coming over.]

If it gets too late,
start dinner without me.

Let's drink.

I'm all about the booze.

[I'm in the student committee.
I can't just abandon my duties.]

[I can't spend time with you anyway.]

[I really miss you.]

Yes, I know.

I'm boarding now. See you.

[Jia Jia, I don't want this to be like
Shanghai last time.]

[So please, don't come.]

[Be patient.
We'll have all the time together.]

This is it. Please get off.

What's on your mind?

Why do you care?

I don't. Are you getting off or what?

Mister, please open the trunk.

Alright.

Be careful.

[After much consideration,]

[I've decided to come to Beijing,]

[for I want nothing more than
to be with you, hand in hand.]

[I'll be waiting for you by the gate.]

♫ Tomorrow will you still remember... ♫

♫ how you used to cry? ♫

♫ The teachers have long forgotten... ♫

♫ a silly kid like you. ♫

♫ But as they leafed ♫
♫ through the photographs... ♫

♫ your face came to their mind. ♫

♫ Who has married a sad girl like you? ♫

♫ Who has read your diary? ♫

♫ Who tied your hair into a bun? ♫

♫ Who has made your wedding gown? ♫

Xu Jie, you're amazing!

I love you!

-Cheers!
-Cheers!

Happy New Year!

Let's dig in.

Let's dig in.

[Jia Jia,]

[I've only one wish
for the coming century...]

[and that's for all your wishes
to come true.]

[Am I the best?]

This food isn't half bad.

Marshal, drink up.

Come...

[Don't forget about your pal.
I want a wish, too.]

What's the matter? Drink up!

Is something wrong?

I can't reach Jia Jia.

She's probably getting it on with Xu Jie.

Don't be a nuisance.

She'd always call me on arrival
no matter who she's with.

Now you're just pathetic.

Dig in.

Look, just stay out of it.

What are you two chattering about?

Come on, tell us.

Guys, I have to go.

Leave the Internet cafe to me...

and you'll all be rolling in money.

You got a date?

-Enjoy yourselves.
-We're supposed to drink into the night.

Let him go...

You know what a lightweight he is,
that cunning fellow.

Come... cheers.

-Come...
-Come...

[The dawn of a new age is upon us.]

[Let us welcome the 21st century.]

[Ladies and gentlemen,
let the countdown begin!]

[Ten...]

[Nine...]

[Eight...]

[Seven...]

[Six...]

[Five...]

[Four...]

[Three...]

[Two...]

One... Happy New Year!

What are you doing here?

Don't cry.

I'll go to the hospital with you.

I'm not going to the hospital.

You've got to settle it
as soon as possible.

We mustn't let anyone know.

There, there...

Don't worry about it.

Won't you snap out of it?

Sitting here in the cold
crying to yourself...

What if you get sick here?
It's going to be a hassle.

Once we're back in Nanjing,
I'll schedule your surgery,

apply for your leave...

and find a maid for you.

After a month,

it'll be as if nothing happened.

Who's getting a surgery?

You, of course!

There's no need to be shy.

We're friends, after all.

I'll see you through this.

I won't tell anyone.

Are you crazy? I'm not pregnant.

Oh come on now.

I told you I won't tell anyone.

I said I'm not pregnant.

Fine. You're not pregnant.

Then what are you crying about?

You even...

I was just worked up.

All that adrenaline overloaded
my sympathetic nervous system,

causing a hyperactive
gastrointestinal motility.

So I felt nauseous and barfed.

Don't you know anything?

You're not pregnant?

Why don't we buy a life detector...

just to be sure?

Are you out of your mind?

Do you think I'm some kind of
self-replicating germ?

But you and...

You two...

I've been looking forward to this day.

Since I was little,
I've envisioned the 21st century...

to be a new and exciting age,

filled with mind-blowing technology,

just like in a sci-fi movie.

But now...

on the first day of the 21st century,

I've lost my love.

Out with the old, in with the new.

The things you mentioned...

won't happen until at least 2020.

How'd you know?

That's what we always wrote in school.

I remember you once wrote,

in the year 2020,

people who are miles apart will be able
to speak face to face.

Cars and airplanes will be driverless.

You've got a sharp memory.

Well, I did copy your assignment.

How dare you mentioned it.

You didn't change a word.

In the end, we're both punished.

Out with the old, in with the new.

Turn it off.

You're just letting it ring.
It's really annoying.

I can't afford roaming.

I thought you finally got over him.

Turns out it's the phone bill.

So, would you like to use my phone
or a payphone?

No, I'm good.

[Tomorrow afternoon...]

Lu Jia Jia...

if you dare to see him again,
I'm not talking to you anymore.

[See you tomorrow by the school field.]
