[Winter Night]

[Episode 3: The Last Train Home]

I don't care if you believe it or not.

I'm not the Zheng Daqian from your family.

The daughter who ran away from home is not me.

Maybe she has already died.

No matter how many times I say it,

I'm still not your daughter!

Are you asleep?

What Daqian did today was indeed too much.

But I'm sure she didn't mean it.

Don't stay mad at her.

People always say that we shouldn't hold grudges. Right?

I'll go upstairs and check on her.

I'll give her an earful if she's still awake.

I'll go now.

Who's there?

Me.

What's the matter?

Daughter, you're still awake.

I can't fall asleep.

That's great.

Let's go out for a walk.

Do you really want to bring me out?

Aren't you afraid of upsetting Gong Xiaoqin?

Why would I be afraid of her?

I just couldn't be bothered.

But when I'm really mad...

I'm not even kidding. Your mom can be calmed immediately.

Where are we going?

[Xinxin Chess and Mahjong House]

Why did you bring me here?

We're here to appreciate the quintessence of Chinese culture,

and prevent ourselves from getting Alzheimer's.

Do you know what we're doing tonight?

We're going to join forces and defeat all enemies.

None of them shall leave the battle alive.

It's late now. Will we find any opponents?

Hand. Four bamboos.

See this? Two 50-thousand tiles.

Show your tile.

Six bamboos.

No.

80 thousand.

Hand.

- One circle. - Hand.

Six bamboos.

- Pure hand. - Fa.

Hand.

40 thousand.

Dragon.

Hand.

- Sparrow. - Hand.

- Hand. - It's a hand.

- Hand. - Hand.

- Hand. - Hand.

- Hand. - Hand.

[Baihe Convenience Store]

No.

Dad, I want to puke.

Are you out of breath? Take a sip.

You should stop drinking so much.

Why do you still have money? You still have money.

I pay the store owner once a month.

Dad, tell you what.

My age is catching up with me.

I can no longer stay up all night.

Who are you talking to right now?

How old are you?

When I was your age,

I could stay up three days and three nights,

without even letting out a yawn.

You wanted to bring me out for a walk,

but I'm about to have a stroke.

I intended to bring you out for a walk and have some fun together.

I made a mistake.

I'm sure the two old folks are experts.

Why was it so difficult to win?

Why is life so difficult?

Zheng Daqian, I need to give you a lecture on this.

This is life.

There are no ups without downs, no wins without losses.

You won't always get what you want.

It's unpredictable, and tomorrow is never promised.

How can it be all smooth sailing. Right?

Our hearts are just like pancakes.

You need to open it up before it can hold all the fillings in it.

Don't you agree?

It's been a while since we last had fun together.

Do you still remember how I used to check the tiles for you when I was little?

Time went by really quickly.

Daqian, I can't do much for you,

but we can always have fun together.

What's the matter, Dad?

I strained my back.

I'm fine.

Did you get arrested for being drunk and fighting in public?

You're too old to get involved fights.

Not too hard.

I don't mind if others misunderstand me,

but don't you know what your dad's like?

I'm too old to get violent.

However, if anyone dares upset my daughter,

I'll make sure he pays for it.

Zheng, people in town have found out about what happened to Daqian.

They said she ran away from home because she broke up with her boyfriend.

Ran away from home?

She was trying to kill herself.

I always knew it.

Your daughter doesn't look like someone who could survive away from home.

Zheng, I heard that they even moved in together.

She has lost both money and her love life. She even has to depend on you financially now.

I think raising this daughter is like a loss-making business for you.

I don't mind spending all my money on my daughter.

You have no room to talk.

How dare you criticize my daughter in front of me?

Zheng, I'm just worried about your family.

Don't you have anything better to do?

You're old, but you are a good fighter. Real man.

Bring me along if you're doing this again.

We are the perfect father-and-daughter duo.

It's late now, but someone's still awake.

Dad, I'm hungry. Make me some food.

Wait.

Let me tell you. You really made your mom's blood boil today.

I've never seen her this upset before.

I know.

I regretted it immediately after I said those words.

What happened to her later?

Don't you know what your mom's like?

No matter how serious the issue is, she'll be fine in a while.

When we get back later, you should just apologize to your mom.

Make sure you smooth her ruffled feathers.

Fine. I got it.

It's late at night. Who are you cooking for?

Where did you go?

I brought our daughter out for a walk.

Zheng Yingjun, do whatever you like.

Zheng Daqian, stay here. I need to talk to you.

I'll hit the sack then.

Whatever!

Eat.

I'll give you a proper lecture after you're done.

Eat.

The cold noodles taste really good. Did you make this?

Keep eating. There's no need to force a conversation.

I mean it.

Why wasn't my mom as good?

What did you say?

I want to apologize to you.

I shouldn't have slapped you in front of so many people.

It's fine, Mom.

I spoke before I thought.

What happened to you before coming home?

Did anyone bully you?

Tell me what happened. You can always rant to me.

It'll at least put both of us at ease.

I'm fine.

Is it because of Guan Zhe?

It has nothing to do with him.

It must have been him.

Are you sure you're fine?

Yes, I am.

Why are you not eating the pork ribs? It's your favorite, right?

I made a vow to never eat pork ribs in my life again.

What?

[Divorce Paper]

Enjoy the food.

After this, the three members of our family

will go our separate ways.

This one is for you.

[Divorce Paper]

This is mine.

After the divorce, everything about me, Zheng Yingjun,

will have nothing to do with both of you.

Tell the debtors to come at me.

Zheng Yingjun, if you've done anything useful at all,

our family wouldn't have ended up this way.

Things have already happened.

There's no use to bring it up now.

Moreover, didn't you always want to leave Baihe?

Isn't this what you wanted?

This is your chance. You can leave this place with our daughter.

Daughter, I'm sorry.

Forget it! Just pretend that you've never had a father.

In this parallel universe, I'm dating Guan Zhe too.

Let's see.

We look like a sweet couple.

[To Guan Zhe: Can you reply?]

Daqian, I've hit my credit card's limit.

I'll use your card first.

You're too rigid.

That's why you haven't seen any progress in your career.

I only say that because I love you and I want the best for you.

Daqian, can you lend me some money?

Zheng Daqian, we're not as young as before.

We won't be able to support each other anymore. Let's go our separate ways.

I'm doing this for your own good.

We're no longer a couple.

Stop texting me.

What a jerk!

Everyone in this universe is different,

but Guan Zhe is still the jerk he always was.

Wait.

I need to remind the foolish Zheng Daqian in this universe.

"Guan Zhe is nothing but a jerk.

Don't be so foolish.

He only cares about money.

Stay away from him."

[WeChat: Your message couldn't be sent.]

- Good morning. - Morning.

You look quite cool today.

Let me go first.

[Wang] Who did this to me?

Mu Zili, did you do this?

Don't wipe it off.

Don't wipe it off. It took me a lot of effort to draw it. Don't wipe it off.

Mom, why did you do this?

This is to ward off bad spirits. Just bear with it.

- What nonsense is this? - Listen to me. Please! Please!

Xiaoqin, she's here.

- I'm coming. - Who?

Let's go. Hurry up! Hurry Up! - Who's here?

Who are you?

Stop talking.

What... What did you see?

She's not your daughter.

You can see that?

Can you please help us?

Your daughter lost her soul.

We need to find it back as soon as possible.

I have a remedy.

Get a bowl of water.

Coming. The water is here.

- What are you doing? - Drink it.

I'm not drinking this.

Hold her. I'll force it down.

Stop!

- Daqian... - Wait!

- This is feudal superstition. - Just bear with it. Just a bit more, Daqian.

Zheng. Zheng, are you going to watch...

Try it.

I agree.

Hang in there, Daqian.

Just a sip, Daqian.

- Just a sip, Daqian. - Just bear with it.

She's quite tough.

- I'm not drinking this. - It's good for your health.

- Just bear with me. - Bear with me, Daqian.

- Just a sip. - I'm not drinking.

Daqian.

Just a sip. Just a sip.

I've recovered. I've recovered.

I... I am... I am Zheng Daqian.

I really am Zheng Daqian.

She's back. She's back.

I'm back. I'm back.

[Guarantee Statement] After reflecting upon myself, I've come to a realization.

- In order to build... - To build a harmonious family,

I suggest Gong Xiaoqin return my ID card to me

and give me back my right to freedom.

Zheng Daqian, you spelled this word wrong.

Mom. Dad. I'm sorry.

I ran away from home because I was feeling depressed.

I had nowhere to vent my emotions. I was weak and sensitive.

It's normal to run into challenges when we're working away from home.

However, I wasn't determined enough to overcome the difficulties.

I get it now.

Scars on our bodies will only turn into medals

after we conquer these challenges.

From tomorrow on, I'll turn over a new leaf.

Zheng Daqian, you finally figured out who you are?

Of course.

I'm Zheng Daqian, the daughter of Gong Xiaoqin and Zheng Yingjun.

I live at No. 3, Xinhua Street, Baihe Town.

I used to live here before I turned 18 years old.

After I graduated from university, I moved to Ningzhou and started working there.

When I was 28 years old, I started dating a jerk. His name is Guan Zhe.

He cheated my feelings and took away my money.

Now, I came home, looking like trash, hoping to kill myself.

I have no job and no savings now.

All I know is to bring troubles to my family.

When I first saw the guy in the photo,

I thought he looked like a sly man and was unworthy of you.

However, your mom insisted that you had hit the age and should grab whoever you met.

You said she could always find a nicer guy while holding onto this one.

You can't blame her.

I have only myself to blame.

Well said. It seems like our daughter is wiser than you.

Mom, can you return my ID card?

You took it yesterday.

I can give you back your freedom, but not your ID card.

How can you do that?

Why not? I'm your mom.

Don't even think about going back to Ningzhou.

Stay at home.

Sure.

Then, I won't do anything at all. I'll stay here forever.

- You'll need to feed me. - I'm fine with that.

Me too.

Daqian, just stay at home and keep us company.

Breakfast is ready.

It's mealtime.

Zheng Yingjun.

There must be something wrong with you if you're not excited about food.

Don't act like everything is all right.

How is the house?

They're fixing it. Let's go.

I didn't go back yesterday.

It seems like the problem wasn't with the train station.

Then, it must be the train.

Which train was it?

K... K...

K268. Yes. K.

268.

What is this?

They're terminating their service tomorrow.

The train is doing its final trip today.

How is that possible?

No way.

I need to leave today.

Daqian.

Aunt Hui.

Where are you going?

The weather seems pretty good today.

I want to take a breather outside.

Lizi can go with you.

He's free now.

- I don't want to bother him, Aunt Hui. - Let's go.

- I'm fine on my own. - Don't worry. You won't bother him.

- Come on. - It's fine. He's in the living room.

- I don't want to bother him. - It's fine. Trust me.

Son,

go out for a walk with Daqian.

You need to exercise and clear your brain fog, too.

I'm not going.

I've had enough in the past two days.

Go out for a walk with Daqian.

Help me keep an eye on her.

She's an adult. Why do I need to keep an eye on her?

I'll give you 1,000 yuan.

Mom, you're right.

I'll keep a good watch on her.

Zheng Daqian!

My mom just gave me a 500-yuan budget.

Let's go and have some fun.

She gave you 1,000 yuan, but we're left with 500 yuan.

You will be a great scammer.

Your brain is not working, but your ears definitely are.

Where are we going?

I'll bring you to a luxurious place.

[Baihe No. 1 Middle School]

I spent my whole morning giving lectures.

My throat is dry.

Yes.

I got it.

It's never easy.

Till the end of life a silkworm keeps spinning silk;

till burning itself out a candle goes on lighting us.

It does get dry easily here.

Old Mu, it's less than eight months from the College Entrance Examination.

Yes.

Other parents visit the school frequently

to discuss with teachers about their kids.

It's time you get serious about this.

Make sure you prepare well enough for the exam.

Mr. Mi, you're right.

We're all ready for it.

I am ready, and his mom is ready too.

I'm glad I decided to speak to you.

Your attitude will decide your kid's attitude.

Zixi is now at a very important crossroad in his life.

He must make the right choice.

Mr. Mi, what actually happened?

I'm still quite confused.

Zixi is a good kid.

He shouldn't give up the chance to take part in Peking University's independent recruitments so soon.

It wasn't easy for the school to secure this opportunity.

I kept pushing him, but he remained unmoved.

I gave him the registration form, and guess what he did.

I stopped hearing from him one week later.

I asked him what happened, and guess what he said.

He said he didn't need to go to college.

I was enraged.

Mr. Mi, calm down.

He shouldn't have done that.

You're too stingy, Mu Zili.

You brought me to a park where you don't need to spend a penny.

Is money all you care about?

Can money buy you happiness?

Look at this place.

It's a place of joy,

especially this spot.

Do you know what this place is?

It's the Love Bridge.

Do people actually believe in this?

Look at you.

As the saying goes, "The belief in a thing makes it happen."

This is the perfect place for heartbroken people like you.

Say your prayers.

I hope I can see you soon.

♫ There are flowers, a river, and you ♫

♫ In my dream ♫

♫ It breaks convention ♫

What's wrong?

Wait.

He's not the Mu Zili I know.

Let me share some joy with you.

Try this.

I'll eat it if you don't want to.

Let's go boat-paddling.

It's too cold to paddle a boat today.

We've traveled all the way here. Let's go.

- Wait. I'm feeling a little giddy. - Let's go.

[Baihe First Middle School]

Dad, why are you here?

Mr. Mi spoke to me today.

Come here, kid.

Tell me

why you don't want to apply to Peking University?

I don't know why I should apply to Peking University.

I don't like the university.

Mom said I had to apply for it because it's a good university.

Mr. Mi said my brother managed to get into the university.

The leaders of the school said

it would make our school proud.

They said it would prove my worth, too.

But I studied so hard...

only because I wanted to decide for myself.

Dad, I need to go to class now.

Kid, I understand...

what you are thinking.

Go ahead.

Sure. Then, I'll get going.

- This one. - Do we really have to do this?

Here.

Lizi, you go first.

Check if the boat is sturdy enough.

You should get in first.

Check if the boat is sturdy enough first.

I'm sure it is. Get in there.

I'm feeling sick.

You are feeling sick?

Then, why did you want to paddle a boat?

I've already paid for the ticket. Get in there.

You go first. I'm scared.

- You go first. - I don't want to get in there alone.

- Get in there. - I'm scared.

Don't you think us being in the lake

resembles the romantic scene in "The Notebook"?

"The Notebook"?

I don't even see a swan here.

The ticket only cost us 20 yuan. What do you expect?

- Do you think we can get an Oscar-winning film set? - Keep paddling.

Talk less, work more.

Daqian, what's bothering you? You can tell me.

It's just a breakup.

Why did it affect you so much?

You live with your parents.

How dare you stick your nose into my business?

I am just returning to my family.

Moreover, I didn't try to kill myself.

Did you really forget everything?

That's not true.

I remember their names,

but I only vaguely remember the incident.

Are you not going back to continue your business?

What's wrong with staying at home?

I can stay with my parents, and it's happier this way.

If that's the case, let's forget all the bad things

in the past.

What's the point of keeping all these unhappy memories?

Right?

This Mu Zili is quite different from the other one.

What?

I'm feeling a little sick.

Let's go back.

Hurry up. Quick.

Careful.

What are you doing, Mu Zili?

- Careful. - Thank you.

You're quite persistent, Zheng Daqian.

Do I look so gullible?

What did I do?

Give me back my car key, and I'll help you get off the boat.

Do you think I can't do this myself?

Go.

Go.

Fine.

It's my fault. All right?

You don't sound sincere at all.

I'm sorry.

Car key.

- Cell phone. - What is this for?

Pawns. Do you think I will believe you?

- I'm not giving you anything. - You don't want to give me, huh?

Fine.

Welcome ashore.

Daqian, don't be mad.

Where do you want to go next? Let's go spend some more money.

Give me back my phone.

I can't.

I have already informed Uncle Yingjun about this.

Yes. He's waiting for you at home now.

I'm in charge of sending you home.

Mu Zili, what did I do to you?

Daqian, a kid can run away from home.

We're too old. And if we do it now, they call it escaping from reality.

Anyway, I've already given uncle my word.

I'll bring you back no matter what.

What about this?

Let's go for a ride.

I'm a pretty good driver.

I've come home with you.

Give me back my phone.

Here.

Also. I spent my whole day with you.

Pay me.

It's money again. That's all you care about.

I haven't reported you for stealing my car key yet.

How dare you say that to me?

Let's go.

Uncle.

Uncle, I brought her home.

Thank you.

Don't worry. I'll go and find my mom at the studio.

Bye-bye.

Uncle, I want to make a report.

She tried to run away again today.

Dad, I never intended to run away.

I simply didn't want to spend time with Mu Zili.

I know. Come on in.

Dad, why are you cooking?

Look. I went to the market this morning

and bought some fresh ingredients.

I have something urgent to attend to. I need to go now.

What's the hurry?

I'll cook your favorite braised pork ribs.

I don't like pork ribs.

Have you changed your taste?

What do you like?

I like grilled meat.

Try this.

How is it?

It's been a while since we last had grilled meat together.

- It's good. - Eat more, then.

Dad, do you want some drinks?

I don't think so.

Your mom is always nagging me about this.

They offer different brands of beer here.

Fine. I don't want to make it difficult for you.

[Love Island Grill and Bar]

Cheers.

Since you were little,

I've always thought you were different from others.

You were very ambitious.

Of course, you would leave Baihe to pursue your dream. Right?

No one had foreseen that you would run into such difficulties.

You shouldn't blame yourself.

If you must, you should blame me and your mom.

Why did we let a girl leave home on her own?

Why did you have to work hard alone away from home?

Yes. It's your fault.

How could you agree with me?

You have been too protective of Zheng Daqian.

You are always worried about her,

whether she was in college, at work, or searching for her life partner.

If you could, you would've shielded her from this universe and protected her from all harm.

Deep down, she is really fragile.

She gets hurt very easily.

Tell me. Who bullied you?

I'll kill him for you.

No one's here. Who can you kill?

Moreover, she's an adult now.

She should learn how to take care of herself.

How long can you keep protecting her?

I'm not a capable man.

But when I see all the other kids settling down,

I worry about you.

I can't rest my mind.

Dad, stop drinking. That's enough.

But... as long as I'm alive,

I'll always protect my daughter.

Even if I'm dead, my spirit will protect her too.

I'm only doing this because you're my daughter.

It's my job to take care of you. Right?

Dad, I'm really running out of time.

I need to leave tonight.

Why? Are you running away from home again?

I'm not running away from home. I'm going to start over.

Dad.

In another universe, our family is no longer like this.

You left me a long time ago.

Another universe? I don't get this.

Just take this as an analogy.

Anyway, when you're not with me,

I have learned how to handle many things on my own.

I'm not as weak as you think.

Whenever I think I'm on the verge of breaking down,

I would grit my teeth and look back.

Then, I would realize I've actually come a long way.

You know what.

You will come across many paths in your life.

But the journey home will always be the most comfortable one.

All kids will leave home one day.

Without Guan Zhe, there will still be Song Zhe or Li Zhe.

Someone broke my heart today. And I might even lose my job tomorrow.

I finally understand it now. I need to grow up.

You and Mom are not young anymore.

You can't stay with me forever.

What do you mean?

Are you saying that we're long in the tooth,

and you can't depend on us anymore?

I need to go back to Ningzhou now.

I need to get up from where I fell.

Zheng Daqian.

This one is for you.

Finish this glass...

and I'll send you to the station.

Cheers.

[Baihe Station Waiting Room]

The bus to Tieyuan is departing soon. Please get on the bus now.

Dad, where did you go?

Bring this with you. You can eat it when you're on your way there.

Why did you buy so many? I can't finish them all.

I checked.

You can eat these on your way to Ningzhou.

Did you receive the money I just transferred to you?

I did.

Let me know if you run out of money. I'll send you more.

Dad, why are you sweating so much?

I worried that I couldn't make it back on time. I ran here.

- You need to stop drinking. Okay? - I got it.

Make sure to bring Mom with you when you do your annual body check.

Stop fighting with Mom. Take care of each other. Don't yell at each other.

You've said this a lot of times.

Don't make this sound like a farewell.

Why? Are you not coming back to Baihe again?

Fine.

I remember everything you said.

It's time to go. Go.

Take care.

Send me a message when you arrive.

You should go home, too.

Remember to send me a message.

Send me a message.

[Intercity Bus. Baihe Station. Tieyuan Station. Linyang Station.]

Get in and leave your suitcase with me.

Thank you.

[Intercity Bus. Baihe Station. Tieyuan Station. Linyang Station.]

[Intercity Bus. Baihe Station. Tieyuan Station. Linyang Station.]

Zheng Daqian.

Zheng Daqian. Zheng Daqian.

Do you think I can't find you just because you're hiding here?

- Mom, what are you doing? - Come home with me.

Let me go. What are you doing?

- We're going home. - Let me go.

Are you coming with me?

Let me go. How did you find me?

Do you think your dad will take your side? Come with me now.

How could he betray me?

Mom, I really can't go with you.

This is my last chance. I need to go now.

Someone passed out.

- Dad! - Call 120 now!

Yingjun.

- Dad! - What happened?

- Dad, what happened? - What's wrong?

Talk to me. What happened?

- Are you all right? - What's wrong?

Dad, what happened?

- Don't force yourself. - What's hurting you?

Dad. Dad!
