[First Love Again]

[Episode 20 We weren't Suppose to be in Love]

Boss, it's done.

We watched the meteor shower.

It's beautiful.

I also made a wish.

How about you?

If so,

something new must've happened.

Xia Wenxi,

what happened after the meteor shower?

Xia Wenxi,

what happened after the meteor shower?

Nothing.

I'm watching movie with Ye Youning.

What's up?

Hey you,

could you please turn off your phone?

I can't see the screen clearly.

I'm sorry.

I'll be back in a minute.

Tell me everything happened

after the meteor shower.

Don't miss any detail.

We watched the meteor shower last night on the mountain.

Then we slept in the tent.

I signed up for the singing contest with him this noon.

Then we had hot pot in the auditorium.

Now we're at the cinema.

That's all.

What's the relevance of Wenxi's death?

Did nothing special really happen?

What can I do to save her?

Enough, Ye Youning.

Wenxi's gone.

You brought her back from Venice.

Did you remember?

Venice, I have to go to Venice.

What are you doing, Ye?

Go find Wenxi.

Where are you going?

Venice.

I need to know the cause of Wenxi's death.

Ye Youning,

Wenxi's gone.

You're not the only one grieved.

We also had a hard time.

Days ago,

you drank hard.

Now you're going to Venice.

I'm taking care of you on behalf of everyone.

What if something bad happens to you?

What should I tell them?

Look at me.

Look at me!

If Xia Wenxi could see you,

she won't like who you're now.

She could've been alive.

It's my fault.

I took her to watch the meteor shower.

I put her in this way now.

It's all my fault.

It's all my fault.

But I saved grandpa.

I also could save Wenxi.

Calm down, Ye.

Calm yourself.

Could you please do me a favor?

Grandpa is home alone.

Could you please tell Yang Chuang and Xiaoai

to take care of grandpa for days?

Could you?

That's okay.

The problem is

why do you have to go to Venice?

You've just been back for half a month.

What could you do in Venice

with such bad

mental status?

The living ones

should move forward.

Promise me.

[Jiangcheng 2019 Jiangcheng 2006]

The movie

is boring.

[Jiangcheng 2006]

We're not gonna see this genre.

I almost fell asleep.

The hot pot is not bad.

I didn't expect such delicacy

In the school auditorium.

Didn't you recall the hot pot days

at the screening club?

Why didn't you say a single word?

What about you?

I've been talking.

Who is he?

He?

I saw it

in the cinema.

You're texting someone with your old phone.

You even told him

everything of us.

You… don't overthink.

You get me wrong.

Get you wrong?

I asked you about the phone this morning.

But you keep the truth from me.

Instead, you said

you're using the memo.

It's fine if it's a misunderstanding.

But tell me

who he is.

He… really isn't who you think he is.

He is

a special man,

a future man.

It's also possible

that he's not a human.

Hey.

Ye Youning, it's complicated.

[Jiangcheng 2006 Venice2019]

But it's really not what you think.

[Venice2019]

Doctor,

is there really no other reason for her death?

Mr. Ye,

we've already told you clearly

that we don't have medical explanation

for the dead body,

and nothing's wrong with that body.

How come it can't be explained?

How can a person die

without sound reasons?

Sorry, I can't help you.

I'm so sorry.

Doctor,

can I check the

record of ambulance please?

[Venice 2019 Jiangcheng 2006]

Hello?

[Jiangcheng 2006]

Hello?

Wait a minute. It's too noisy here.

I'm gonna talk to you outside.

Hold on.

It's better here. Go on.

I had a quarrel with Ye Youning.

Quarrel for what?

He thought there's a third person.

He got me wrong.

Misunderstanding must be explained.

Don't hold it in.

I can't explain it clearly.

Tingting,

will he be cold to me?

I fear he won't like me anymore.

Pass.

Will he…

Are you okay? I'm sorry.

Watch it.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

Tingting, I'll talk to you later.

Okay.

What brings you here?

I'm just passing by.

Passing by?

Freezing cold.

What heavy north wind.

It could even blow a man away.

I feel chilly.

It's cold.

You've been here for long.

Aren't you angry now?

Are you still mad at me?

Please don't be angry.

Stop crying, or I'm angry.

I really didn't lie.

I don't even know

where the messages come from.

And they

are not gonna

ruin our relationship.

It's not a third-person like what you thought.

Well, but

I'm feeling like you're dating

someone else behind my back.

I swear

there's absolutely no third person between us,

and I never lied to you.

If I lied to you,

I would eat popsicles on icy days.

Well.

That's okay.

So you're not mad now.

We're good, aren't we?

Am I right?

Your cutest girlfriend

is gonna die of cold.

My legs are numb.

I'm not mad now.

Nice.

Come on.

I hate this girly bag.

My Maday's not girly.

They're cute.

Ready, go.

Chen Tingting.

Long time no see.

What brings you here?

I'm here to attend your club activities

on behalf of our clubs.

Jiaqi, have a good chat.

We're going in there.

Okay.

Why are you out here?

It's too noisy and crowded there inside.

I come out for some fresh air.

Let me buy you a drink.

[Jiangcheng 2006 Venice 2019]

[Venice2019]

Hello.

Sir, please wait a moment

if you want a portrait.

I'd like to ask you something.

A Chinese girl had an accident

here a month ago.

You called the ambulance for her.

Do you remember?

Of course.

How is she?

Did she recover?

She passed away.

She didn't make it.

Oh my God.

One moment, please.

I'm sorry for that.

Can you recall what happened?

How did the accident happen?

She came to me that day

for a portrait.

Girl, are you okay?

Girl. Girl.

Hello.

Emergency center?

We need an ambulance now.

A girl fainted.

She fell down without even a sign

in this place.

Before that, she's in good condition.

Both the police and hospital confirmed.

There's not any reason.

How should I change the past time?

Xia Wenxi, don't you go to Venice.

Never, ever.

Venice?

Why did you say so?

Just take my words.

You must promise me.

Okay, I won't.

This is for you.

Thank you.

How are things with you?

I'm too busy.

My major

is demanding.

We have to wear uniform and meet regularly.

We can't even use computer.

How about you?

Normal.

We don't have many courses in the first year.

By the way,

I'm preparing for postgraduate entrance exam.

So I'm a little busy occasionally.

You're still studious.

Take good care of yourself.

You too.

How is Wenxi?

Did you contact with her?

You buy me drink

to ask about her?

Of course not.

You… You get me wrong.

I'm glad you come to my school.

Hello, what's up?

Where are you? The event's almost over.

I meet a friend

and chat for a while..

I have your bag.

Shall we go back together?

Okay, give me a minute.

I'll be right with you.

I'll walk you out.

Will you study law as a graduate student?

Yeah.

Pilot?

You never mentioned

you have a pilot friend.

I gotta go.

Our dorm has access control system.

Bye.

What's up?

She's good.

Don't worry about her.

Senior.

Quite impressive.

Slender, fairy and pretty.

I found a code notebook

and a pen.

They're trampled.

Should we throw them away?

Turn them over to lost and found office.

The owner may come back for them.

But the notebook is blank.

Let me see.

This is an invisible pen.

Shine light on it.

See?

The 109th day of knowing Lin Jiaqi…

I heard your name.

Lin Jiaqi. Lin Jiaqi.

Lin Jiaqi.

I'm Lin Jiaqi.

So this notebook is about you.

When should we go to the study room tomorrow?

Do I need to take a seat for you?

Where's my code notebook?

Qiangqiang,

did you see my notebook?

I didn't.

That's odd.

I always put it

in my bag.

Where is it?

On your bed?

My roommate

can't find her object.

Not on bed.

Hold on for a minute.

What to do now?

Maybe it's lost in HUAA.

HUAA.

Tingting.

Lights out. You can't go out.

Look for it tomorrow.

I… I…

Where's my notebook?

[Jiangcheng 2006 Venice 2019]

[Venice2019]

No memory overlap.

What's the matter?

Why are you crying?

I don't know how to save my love.

What happened to your lover?

I watched helplessly her accidents

again and again,

changing the space-time over and over again,

trying to save her,

but she seemed to be farther and farther from me.

Time has its own laws.

And man cannot change them.

Let me tell you a story.

In the last century,

there was a priest in Venice.

He invented a

time machine

that allowed him to go back and forth

through space and time.

Eventually he ended up in the past.

there he fell in love with a girl

who was wearing a same mask as he was.

This is how he intervened in the girl's life.

The two of them were happy together.

The priest though

he would remain there forever,

only for the girl.

He packaged the time machine and he stayed.

But unfortunately,

the girl died unexpectedly.

Why?

And then?

Well, to save the girl,

the priest reactivated the time machine.

He went back and forth between time

to try to change the fate of the girl.

But the past ended up being worse and worse.

After every time he went,

she still died.

But he had no choice

but to go back and try to save her

in any way he could to bring her back to life

he would.

Unfortunately, with each change he made,

her life became shorter and shorter,

until eventually

she disappeared from this world.

No one remembered her,

except for the priest in his space and time.

Then even he could no longer find

even a hint of her.

This, when he finally realized

this was his punishment for having forcibly interfered with space and time.

The timelines of the couple were never supposed to overlap.

The two of them were never supposed to be lovers.

And the love between the two of them…

It was the wrongful intervention for space and time.

If only the priest had not interfered with the girl's life,

maybe she would've lived her life to the fullest.

So

didn't the priest finally get the girl back?

No.

He was very regretful.

He wished that none of it had ever happened.

He would rather

never have appeared in his lover's life

than to have his lover erased in space and time.

In the end, he built a church,

and he wrote upon the wall

a story about saving his lover.

And Every day he pondered this

not existed story,

which eventually became his reproach

and consumed his entire life.

Why I feel as if this story happened?

The priest

knew he was not destined

to fall in love with the girl,

because every time he went back,

he more or less

changed the future.

But he still did so

over and over again

until

being discovered.

He knew he was gonna be punished,

and the time machine

was gonna be destroyed.

So he decided to go back one last time

before the machine was disposed of.

[Venice 2019 Jiangcheng 2006]

[Jiangcheng 2006]

Lin Jiaqi,

what brings you here?

I come to you.

Your schoolmates said

you live here.

Why do you come to me?

To return your stuff.

How come you have this?

A schoolmate

found it in the auditorium after you left.

Doesn't matter.

It's nothing but an empty notebook.

Cheap one.

Thank you.

Tingting.

We need to talk.

You know all?

Yeah.

But

I didn't mean to peep.

All right.

I was just scribbling.

Just forget it…

Tingting.

I'm sorry.

You don't have to apologize.

I like you, but that's my business.

I am rejected

before speaking out my heart.

You know

Wenxi is the only one.

But Wenxi has Ye Youning.

People's love isn't changeable.

I'm sorry.

All right, it's okay.

Thank you.

Wenxi,

have some warm water to wet your whistle

before the battle.

I'm so nervous.

I'm here with you.

Wenxi,

just go for it.

Her water is spilt.

You come here with…

What's up?

Wenxi, are you okay?

She's already nervous.

Then you gave her a fright.

Dear, I'm about to go on stage.

What's wrong with me?

Still so.

Let's welcome the next contestant.

She is Xia Wenxi

from the Department of Archaeology.

Xia, it's important for you.

Don't screw it up.

You know

I wrote a new hip-hop song.

Come on, or I'll take your place.

Don't…

Hey, what's wrong with me?

It's my turn now.

Wenxi,

try again.

Take sips for ten times.

You'll be all right.

Have a try.

Xia, your bad luck's still

at my heels even in college.

Xia Wenxi,

it's the time.

The host looks for you.

Better now?

-I think so. -Play up.

Give me your bag.

[Jiangcheng 2006 Venice 2019]

[Venice2019]

The priest

knew he was not destined

to fall in love with the girl,

because every time he went back,

he more or less

changed the future.

But he still did so

over and over again

until

being discovered.

He knew

he was gonna be punished,

and the time machine was gonna be destroyed.

So he decided to

go back one last time

before the machine

was disposed of.

Why does the book say

exactly what the old man says?

Eventually he ended up in the past.

At a carnival mask event,

there he fell in love with a girl

who was wearing a same mask as he was.

This is how he

intervened in the girl's life.

In the end,

the priest walked from Bridge of Sighs to execution ground.

A ship was under the bridge,

and on the ship was the girl

and her lover.

So the story on the mural is false.

The priest failed to save his love.

He lived in pain all his life.

If Xia Wenxi didn't meet me,

maybe

she could get through a happy life

like the girl under Bridge of Sighs.

Xia Wenxi and I were never supposed to fall in love.

Sorry, Xia Wenxi.

You and Ye Youning shouldn't have been together.

Or the fates of both of you

will be affected.

Just break up with him.

[Venice 2019 Jiangcheng 2006]

[Jiangcheng 2006]

Hello, everyone.

I'm Xia Wenxi from the Department of Archaeology.

Lady,

I think you ate too much tonight.

Why not

digest it first?

The song I'm going to sing is

Mayday's Time Machine.

Hurrah!

♫ The sun broke in the familiar scene ♫

♫ So quiet ♫

♫ How much of the past can a person carry ♫

♫ So heavy ♫

♫ Whose smile and whose warm hands ♫

♫ Make me fascinated ♫

♫ The wounds seem to have become the past ♫

♫ At the end of the play, I saw the empty seats ♫

♫ Lights on ♫

♫ This story ♫

♫ Seems to be real and also unreal ♫

♫ It's just ♫

♫ Finally I'm ♫

♫ Convinced ♫

♫ The excuses can't stand up to the attack of remorse ♫

Xia Wenxi,

You and Ye Youning shouldn't have been together.

Or the fates of both of you

will be affected.

♫ So regretful, so sad ♫

Just break up with him.

♫ Can I start it over again ♫

♫ Once again ♫

♫ I would not have come to such an end ♫

♫ So regretful, so sad ♫

♫ Who can put me back ♫

♫ I'm willing ♫

Who are you on earth?

Why do you disturb Xia Wenxi

and intervene in our relationship

over and over again?

Are you Ye Youning?

I am.

You're peeping at our lives, aren't you?

Who are you on earth?

What's your purpose?

Would you believe me

if I told you that

I was the future you,

you at 31 years old?

Nonsense.

Stop tricking.

Who are you on earth?

Why do you want Xia Wenxi to break up with me?

Bravo!

This song was a memory of my own.

Now I'm grateful

that I have a boy to

share it with.

So this song is for…

Next contestant, please.

Wenxi,

you're quite a good singer.

Where's Ye Youning?

I saw him run out

with a doll just now.

You two are

supposed to live separate lives.

You shouldn't have fallen in love.

Your love

will kill Xia Wenxi.

If you love her,

please leave her.

I don't buy your story.

-If you continue to harass Xia Wenxi,-Ye Youning.

I'll call the police.

I'm gonna find you

no matter what.

Why…

Why did you come here

without a word?

What are you doing with my phone?

Why are you still in touch with him?

Did the future man say anything?

He told you to break up with me.

He…

He wouldn't say that.

Maybe there's some misunderstanding.

Give it to me.

I'll ask him.

What will you ask?

You wanna keep in contact with him, right?

I didn't mean that.

I'm afraid you get me wrong.

So I wanna make it clear.

What do you take me for?

It's his idea to watch the meteor shower

the other day, right?

No.

It's not his idea

to watch the meteor shower.

I planned to watch it with you,

just then

he also suggested it.

I've told you

he's a man in the future.

Man in the future?

What are you saying?

What are you saying?

I know it sounds crazy.

But

he really is a future man.

This phone is really a time machine.

He helped me

when we're in high school.

He also helped our class.

He even told me the winning lottery number.

Hey, could you please believe me?

Why don't you believe me?

Fine.

I'll take your words today.

But tell me

why does he care

so much about you?

Do you feel it's reasonable?

Well,

he asks you to break up with me.

Will you do that?

Of course I won't.

That's why I said

I wanted to make it clear.

Okay.

I believe you.

I'm still in love with you.

But promise me

you will never

use this phone anymore.

Could you?

[Male Dormitory]

Do you know where Ye Youning is?

He's not here.

I can't find him anywhere else.

He never came back after the class.

Could you please help me make a phone call?

Okay.

I can call him.

Hello.

Your girlfriend is waiting for you in the dorm.

There you are.

Hey.

Stop. Stop there.

Listen.

I…

I really…

Are you okay?

Did you touch that?

What were you doing?

I was afraid you would get electrocuted.

Are you hurt?

Are you injured?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.

I'm fine.

I promise you

I won't

use that phone anymore.

I won't text that man anymore.

No matter who he is,

I won't use that phone again,

Okay?

Okay.

You scared me just now,

before you're out the door.

I really thought I was gonna lose you.

You didn't answer my phone calls.

I can't find you anywhere.

Well, don't cry.

You know I'm fine.

[Episode 20 End]

I'm sorry, boss.

We gotta stop contacting each other.

I don't wanna ruin the life I have.

Thank you for your company these days.

Farewell.
