[First Love Again]

[Episode 21 Punishment from Time]

I'm sorry, boss.

We gotta stop contacting each other.

I can't risk the life I have.

Thank you for your company these days.

Farewell.

No, Xia Wenxi,

you can't do that.

I need you!

I'm saving the future you!

Only you can help me.

You must listen to me

and break up with Ye Youning.

If I can't reach Xia Wenxi,

how can I change the past?

She refuses to break up with him

or contact me,

so I must go see her myself.

[Venice 2019 Jiangcheng 2006]

[Jiangcheng 2006]

It's so nice that you got into a local college.

You can even go home on a short break.

What's that?

Is it a gift from your top-of-the-list boyfriend?

On the contrary, it's a gift for him.

I see.

While you two are gonna meet your parents,

I'm not even seeing anyone.

The gap is huge!

Your backups are so many

that you can't make the decision.

I have to choose carefully.

Honestly, both Le Chen and I believe

it's best for everyone

if you remain single.

See ya.

Come back with snacks!

Got it.

Don't be too picky.

You also think I should be single?

That guy who gave you snacks is kinda cute.

I know.

[Jiangcheng 2006 Venice 2019]

But I think I deserve someone better.

[Venice 2019]

[Venice 2019 Jiangcheng 2006]

[Jiangcheng 2006]

Sorry for the wait.

[Male Dormitory]

Wenxi.

I just got here.

Here you are.

Thanks for the breakfast!

Ye Youning is the best boyfriend in the world!

Are you nervous?

Because

we're gonna meet your parents.

Relax.

You've met them before.

Don't worry. My folks adore you.

They can't wait to marry me off.

This time it is different.

Let's go. We can't be late.

Wa... wait!

I have something for you.

Did you make it by hand?

I made a mini Sanfen.

It was harder than I thought

and Sanfen might look a bit weird.

Not at all. I love it!

From now on,

I'll bring it with me at all times.

It looks kinda cute this way.

[Jiangcheng 2006 Venice 2019]

[Venice 2019]

Let's go.

Shooting stars are coming again!

[Campus Singer Contest]

Am I back to ‘06?

I'm back!

Ye Youning!

Are you OK?

Xia Wenxi,

I'm breaking up with you.

What?

What that message said is right.

Our relationship is a mistake.

Are you still mad at that?

Really?

But I...

I've told you

I won't check that phone

or believe that guy again.

And I've stopped contacting him.

Just leave that message behind, OK?

You asked me not to believe him.

Why are you taking his words seriously?

Ignore him, OK?

I'm sorry, Xia Wenxi.

I'm a selfish man.

I hate to break your heart

but I must do it to save the future you.

Even if I have to get out of your life,

even if you hate me,

I won't regret it.

Xia Wenxi,

I didn't realize until now

that I've never liked you.

It was you

who were pestering me the whole time.

I was simply used

to your company

and mistook it as love.

Ever since we met,

my life has become a mess.

Your bad luck

posed a threat to me

when we were together.

You know?

I'm sick of

hearing you go on and on

about how you want others around you to be happy.

The truth is

not everyone can gain happiness.

You're silly and naive.

Because of you,

I gave up the chance to go abroad

to be with my mom.

I hurt her feelings

for you.

Xia Wenxi,

my life would be better

without you.

We're over.

Ye Youning, you're a jerk!

Xiaoai! Xiaoai!

Stop! Don't do it!

He's so mean to you, Wenxi.

Why are you still protecting him?

Ye Youning, how dare you!

Why are you doing this?

Why would you hurt her?

I'm simply being honest.

You...

You...

You said you love me yesterday.

You don't mean

what you said, do you?

I do.

You're lying.

Little Xia Wenxi,

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You told me

you love my gift

and you'd bring it with you at all times.

What changed your mind?

Was it something you saw just now?

Or,

did something unexpected happen?

You're messing with me, aren't you?

Is there

a big surprise waiting for me?

Are you done?

Xia Wenxi,

keep what I said in mind.

Stay away from me.

Leave me alone,

or I'll disappear.

You won't find me again.

Ye Youning, wait...

Ye Youning...

Ye Youning!

Wenxi, Wenxi...

Wenxi...

Are you OK, Wenxi?

Wenxi...

Wenxi...

Ye Youning!

Let him go.

Ye Youning!

Why is he doing this to me?

He was fine just now.

Sweetie,

can you hear me?

Xiaoai,

what happened to Wenxi?

Since she got back, she's been sleeping

for a day.

We can't wake her up.

She and...

Maybe Wenxi is too exhausted.

She needs more rest.

Wenxi? Wenxi?

What should we do?

Ye Youning!

You know Ye Youning?

Ye Youning!

-Who are you? -Come out!

Which room is he in?

This one.

Where is he?

He's dropped out of college.

Wenxi.

Sorry to bother you,

but is Ye Youning in?

He's left the country to be with his mom.

Didn't he tell you about it?

There, there.

Let's go home.

-We're leaving. -Sure, sure.

How should I go back

without the time machine?

Hit hard!

Ye Youning!

No.

I didn't press the phone

the first time I went back.

Thunder and the crash will do the job.

But when will there be thunder?

How's Xia Wenxi

during the past few days?

♫ I hold my breath ♫

♫ Miss you on purpose ♫

♫ Forgive me ♫

♫ For watching you leave ♫

♫ But can't call you ♫

Ye Youning!

♫ By your name ♫

♫ When the chime rings ♫

♫ Take it as my words ♫

Where were you?

♫ The song you love ♫

That's none of your business.

♫ I still hum ♫

I've been

looking for you everywhere on campus.

I...

I waited for you outside your dorm.

♫ Just like a hourglass ♫

I checked every place

we had been.

I... I also asked the school

and grandpa Zhou.

♫ It gets filled and empty ♫

They said you had dropped out

and grandpa said you had gone abroad.

I was there...

I was there thinking

I should go to Britain to get you back.

♫ Let it rotate ♫

But you didn't leave.

I can stay wherever I want.

♫ Is it possible ♫

We're done.

But...

But you gave me that umbrella, didn't you?

♫ To have you in my arms ♫

♫ I've had you ♫

You still care about me.

Why are you hurting my feelings?

♫ That's enough ♫

♫ As long as you are happy ♫

We shouldn't have been in love.

♫ I want nothing else ♫

You shouldn't have loved me.

But I am too deep in love!

♫ I put my head down ♫

♫ For fare that you might recognize me ♫

Don't leave me, OK?

♫ In the crowd ♫

♫ I would use all my fortune ♫

I fell for you

at first sight.

♫ To let you keep that ♫

♫ Beautiful smile of yours ♫

♫ Just like a hourglass ♫

Maybe

we shouldn't have met at all.

♫ It gets filled and empty ♫

Xia Wenxi,

♫ Let it rotate ♫

I wish we were strangers.

♫ Is it possible ♫

♫ To have you in my arms ♫

♫ I've had you ♫

♫ That's enough ♫

♫ As long as you are happy ♫

♫ I want ♫

Youning, Youning!

Where are you going?

Breakfast is almost ready.

That kid!

Who are you looking for?

Hello.

Are you...?

I'm the owner of this apartment.

Isn't the owner named Xia?

I've only moved in recently.

Did they rent this place to you?

No!

I bought it.

Do you know

where the Xias are?

The one who sold me this place isn't a Xia.

Grandpa!

What's the rush?

You're over 30.

Act your age, OK?

Grandpa, did Wenxi and her family move out?

It was a long time ago.

They've been gone

for about 13 years.

Don't you... remember that?

Their apartment has changed hands more than once.

Why did they leave?

Her parents moved back to their hometown

after what happened to Wenxi.

They couldn't stay here.

This place would only remind them of their daughter.

What happened to Wenxi?

After you broke up with her in the freshman year,

she was taken to hospital one day

for dizziness.

The doctor was unable to diagnose her.

Then her parents took her

to many other hospitals

but no one could identify the cause of her illness.

Eventually, she passed away.

Ye Youning?

How dare you show up here!

Get out!

What are you doing here?

-Please let me... -Shut up and go!

Bastard!

Look what you've done to Wenxi!

Zip it and get out!

This is Wenxi's old stuff.

You're a jerk,

but everything inside is about you.

Sudden death again!

How come her life keeps shortening?

Youning,

what are you mumbling?

What should I do

to prolong her life?

Youning,

I know you're upset.

But the deceased can't be brought back to life.

I know

you and Wenxi were close.

But she left years ago.

We can't get her back.

Right?

Don't be too sad.

Youning,

the past...

You...

What's wrong with him?

[World Tour of MayDay]

March 1st, 2006.

We have a new student in the class.

His name is Ye Youning.

Somehow, I can't help

getting close to him.

He was special to me

the first time I saw him.

But I am too deep in love!

Is this

how heartbeat

feels like?

I don't want you to leave.

Come back.

Don't leave me, OK?

Maybe

I shouldn't

have been in her life at all.

We should've been strangers

from the very beginning.

That way, she wouldn't have loved me.

If we go separate ways,

none of that will happen, right?

If I can go back to the time before we met,

I'll be able to change everything.

Based on

the last two experiences of time traveling,

thunder and the crush

are required.

How can I go back

to the exact time I want?

Is there anything I've missed

during the last two experiences?

The key is the item of that moment in the past!

As long as I get that,

press the time machine,

and I'll go back to the time related to that item.

Grandpa!

What's the matter with you?

Do you still have those things I left

before my transfer in the senior year?

Your senior year?

Yeah.

That was so long ago.

How could I still remember?

Think hard.

I just moved in back then.

Your things...

should be in here.

In this cabinet.

Let me.

Slowly. Be careful.

Calm down.

[2006 Affiliated High School of Jiangcheng University Certificate of Admission]

Look at this mess!

Where are you going now?

Grandpa,

I gotta go to this meeting.

Wait for me at home. Don't go anywhere.

Call Yang Chuang and the others if you need anything.

He told me not to go anywhere.

Like... I have other places to go.

[2006 Affiliated High School of Jiangcheng University Certificate of Admission]

Finally,

I'm back to the initial time.

Are you OK?

What took you so long?

Come on! I've been waiting for you!

Let's go!

Wenxi...

Let's find a place to sit.

We can't. We're running out of time.

I need your help to finish my homework.

I'm freezing while waiting for you.

Don't drag your feet.

I don't wanna do homework.

I've been to countless universes

and got tons of memories.

In the end,

only I remember them.

That priest's life

was chained by the made-up story.

Aren't those memories

doing the same to mine?

But...

as long as you live healthy and happy,

I'm willing to

sacrifice myself

as that man in the story.

Yang Chuang is sweet.

I said I want bubble tea

and here it is.

But why are we meeting in his shop?

And where is he?

He asked us to do homework together but didn't show up.

He had a fight with his dad.

Just forget about him.

I still have tons of homework left.

Let's get it done quickly.

I've finished mine,

so I can relax and have fun now.

Wenxi,

you can't do this to me!

Do it yourself!

Wenxi...

Don't copy mine. It's your homework.

Besties should help each other,

but not with homework.

Wenxi!

I won't give my homework to you.

Come on! Do it yourself!

Wenxi!

No way! Go back to your seat.

Wenxi,

look, that boy is hot!

He's been staring at me.

I'm blushing.

Is he...?

Is he hungry?

Is he here for food?

Wenxi, why are you crying?

I don't know.

Maybe...

Maybe I'm crying because of him.

I think I can feel...

his sadness.

Wenxi, where are you going?

Are you OK, Wenxi?

Are you

tear-gassed?

I can't stop crying for some reason.

I got it.

You're sad because the vacation is over, right?

I understand that.

I feel the same.

There, there.

It's OK.

It's fine. Don't cry.

Let's go back inside, OK?

Yeah? Come on.

You've made the decision,

so just follow through!

What's wrong with you? Are you blind?

Starting tomorrow,

the timeline will get back on track.

We won't cross paths again.

Farewell, Wenxi.

[OPEN]

Youning,

where are you going this early?

I'm going to school.

It's too early.

I know it's your first day but hold your horses.

I haven't made breakfast.

I already made it and fed myself, grandpa.

The rest is in the pot.

You can reheat it.

Walnuts.

Since when did he like walnuts?

Are you going to school, Wenxi?

No more accidents or bad luck.

Originally,

nothing happened...

Good! It's done!

between Xia Wenxi and me

before going into the classroom.

But when the past was changed by accident,

we were thrown into the school together.

All I need to do is leave early

and get to school before Wenxi,

so that we won't see each other at the school gate.

Then nothing will happen.

Hello,

are you also on the Track-and-Field Team?

I've never seen you before.

I'm not.

If not, why are you here so early?

Memorizing texts.

Really?

You must be a straight-A student.

Hello again.

I didn't know we'd be classmates.

What a small world!

Would you like to join us?

No, thanks.

Don't be shy.

We're nice.

We can be your friends.

Join us. Join us.

Hi.

I'm Xia Wenxi.

Now that we're in the same class,

just enjoy my last day with her

before the thunderstorm.

OK. Now,

turn to page 54.

What's your number?

So, guys,

turn to page 74.

I'm Yang Chuang.

I'm Lin Jiaqi.

I'm Gao Xiaoai.

I'm Chen Tingting.

I'm Xia Wenxi.

What are you looking at?

Let's continue.

Alright. Dismissed.

Let's go.

Take a look at my phone.

I just had it fixed,

but it's not working again.

Didn't you drop it this morning?

Maybe that's the reason.

But I picked it up and checked it right away.

It was fine.

-What...? -Xia Wenxi.

Yang Chuang,

three-pointer!

[Affiliated High School of Jiangcheng University]

Trial one, failed.

Conclusion:

don't go to school too early,

or I'd run into Gao Xiaoai

and still couldn't avoid meeting Wenxi.

[2006 Affiliated High School of Jiangcheng University Certificate of Admission]

You've used up

your free chances to go back.

What does that mean?

If you want more chances,

please press the asterisk key.

Are you willing to pay for extra chances?

[2006 Affiliated High School of Jiangcheng University Certificate of Admission]

[Chance Left: 1]

One chance left.

Where's my watch?

That's how it works.

Stop!

Why didn't I

notice him before?

He's coming.

Sorry,

no bike riding on campus.

Your zipper

is open.

Your hair is a bit long. You need a haircut.

I'm only giving you a warning.

But next time, you'll lose your points.

Whatever.

Come back! What's your name?

Shiyi, look.

Shiyi.

I'm turning 18 today.

I won't be late.

Yang Shiyi!

I...

Hey, are you in the wrong classroom?

Why are you moving the desk?

What's going on?

Class will begin soon.

Yang Shiyi,

who's he? You know him?

It's you.

You're also in our class.

I remember it.

I was told

that we'd have a transfer student.

I'm sorry about what happened earlier.

It's my fault.

Are you gonna sit somewhere else?

You already knew

she's a jinx?

It's wise to stay away from her.

You can sit next to me.

That's so nice of you.

Hey,

Yang Shiyi was joking.

Don't take her words seriously.

I know. Excuse me.

It's OK. Don't be upset by him.

I won't. I don't even know him.

Cheer up. It's OK.

I'm fine. You guys can go back.

Don't worry about me.

Be seated.

Class,

that's our new student,

Ye Youning.

Give him a big hand.

He used to study at Huanzhou No. 1 High School

and he was top of his class.

You should learn from him, OK?

Alright, continue your morning reading.

Watch them, Yang Shiyi.

Yes, sir.

Be quiet and read.

I'm sorry, Wenxi.

There, there.

[Episode 21 End]

Let's go over the poems again

during the morning reading.

Just because you're science students

doesn't mean Chinese isn't important.

You can easily get a few points

by memorizing the poems.

Read them out loud after me.

Understood?

Yes!

“Yugu Platform overlooks the Qing River.”

“Yugu Platform overlooks the Qing River.”

“How many bitter tears are in it?”

“How many bitter tears are in it?”

What are you doing?

Stand in the back.

“Look northwestward at Chang'an.”

“Look northwestward at Chang'an.”

"Yet I only see numerous mountains."

Stop it! What's so funny?

You're an idiot!

“Yugu Platform overlooks the Qing River.”
