If a couple’s notion of Heaven,

Is like a heart-warming barrier

Imprisoning your dreams,

Is happiness akin to a metal-barred window?

The bird has lost its internal compass for the south.

If you aspire to travel into the sky,

And long for a pair of wings

Releasing you to soar up high,

Roses should not accompany your feathered wings.

Obeying ageing properties of time,

If romance has morphed into a leash,

I’m willing to choose to return to a life of solitude for your sake.

If lingering touches have morphed into chains,

It is time to discard the vows.

There is a kind of love called letting go,

Forsaking a long life of romance for love.

If us being together made you forsook everything,

Let true love spirit me away.

For your sake, I must lose you.

Cruelly putting on an act to hurt you.

Leaving you for your sake.

Leaving without ever letting go

There is a kind of love called letting go,

Forsaking a long life of romance for love.

If us being together made you forsook everything,

Let true love spirit me away.

There is a kind of love called letting go,

Let love end the dreams of a life-long romance.

If my departure lets you gain everything,

Let true love steer me away, and initiate break-up.

Love in the forlorn city

Episode 7

- Going where? - To (name of restaurant) Restaurant.

Every customer has complained to me.

Thus, there is no mistake.

Your that kinda of person, if I don't teach you a lesson.

How can our company do business in the future?

Look at your attitude.

Fine, starting today

But you still have to pay this month's car rental fee.

Why?

What do you mean why? Because I'm the manager.

Do you still want this job?

Hey! Yan Fei.

- Can you help me out? - With what?

This afternoon I'm schedule to pick up a bride.

But my wife called and said our kid is in the hospital with a high fever.

Can you take my place?

I don't think I can help you.

The manager suspended me for a week.

I told you so. You shouldn't have offended the manager's nephew.

Don't worry, the manager will not find out. Please help me.

- It's not that I don't want to. - Please.

The pay is very good.

You can make more than $300 in an afternoon.

And it's all yours. Picking up a bride is a prosperous thing.

Please help me out.

Are you guys okay?

Are you done? It's almost time.

There almost here.

Let us welcome the bride.

The bride is very beautiful today.

Careful...

You can get in now.

Hubby, I want to sit in that car.

That car? What about this one?

Let mom and dad ride this one.

Mom and Dad, we are riding that car.

- You guys can ride this one. - Oh, okay. We're getting in.

Long time no see.

Wife, get in the car. What's wrong?

Nothing.

Hubby,

how much does my ring cost?

I had my friend order it from one of New York's most famous jewelers.

Do you like it?

Yes.

It's such a big ring, it probably costs 300,000.

Maybe it's around 200,000.

It's nothing. It's fine as long as you like it.

Thank you.

Mi Mi you are so lucky marrying such a wonderful husband.

Good thing last year my engagement broke off.

Otherwise, I wouldn't know what would have become of me.

How could that be?

I want to invite you to my wedding.

I'm just a driver,

why should I attend your wedding?

Today is my wedding day.

So what if you are a driver.

Even if you were a beggar, as long as I'm happy,

I can invite you to attend my wedding.

Besides,

I think it has been a while since you've been in such a high class place.

Oh yeah, I also have a surprise for you.

Let's go.

He's just a driver, no need to pay any attention to him.

Dad... Mom...

Mi Mi, let me introduce.

(He's) Mr. Chen, our company's big client.

Hello?

You can go back first.

Okay. I'll come back to the office later by myself.

Okay. Don't worry.

Okay. Bye bye.

Ms. Zhou, Ms. Wang wants to see you.

- Where is she? - She is over there.

Okay.

Sorry to bother you all.

Ms. Wang, where you looking for me?

I wanted to bring you over to meet an old friend.

You've know each other so long,

I don't think I need to do introductions.

No. I do need to do introductions.

Zhou Yu Qing, my wedding planner.

Yan Fei, the chauffeur for my wedding.

I would have never imagined.

Yan Fei, how you previously treated me?

In front of a lot of people, you embarrassed me.

No matter what, I wanted to let you know

leaving you was a good decision.

But you leaving me

look at what you've become.

I need to attend to my guests,

so I wouldn't bother your reunion.

Hello.

Yan Fei, we're dividing the money, come over here.

Excuse me.

Isn't that Yan Fei?

Why is he here?

Did Yan Fei say anything?

Huh? What?

Earlier, weren't you talking with him?

Oh, he didn't say anything.

Didn't you always wanted to know

why he suddenly disappeared?

Don't you want to take this opportunity and ask him about it today?

I don't want to ask anymore.

This happened so long ago.

He probably realized

that we aren't meant to be together.

Or, from the beginning, we couldn't make it.

Alright. Let's not talk about him anymore.

Oh right, did you say that

you had a surprise for me today?

I wanted to ask you a question.

What kind of question? I hope it's not too difficult.

What are your plans for the future?

In what area?

I'm talking about your views on career and your lifestyle.

I haven't thought about it.

Don't lie to me. You have definitely thought of it.

We've been together for a year already.

I think I know you well.

Speak honestly to me.

How long do you plan to work for me?

I never thought about leaving this company.

With your skill and talent

I feel it's a waste at my small company.

You should work for a large company.

That way, you can expand your skills.

I don't have too much ambitions in my career.

A fish cannot get bigger if you contain it.

What would you do if in a couple of years,

I close down this company and went and did something else?

I... actually at times I would think about it.

I want to give myself a long vacation.

I've approximately planned over a 100 weddings.

At times, I feel so tired.

Not implying my life status,

but the pressure from it.

And also... I feel...

I'm getting farther from my dream.

You've never told me about your dream.

What's the point of talking about it?

If you have a dream, you must go after it.

It doesn't matter what it is,

but I will work hard to help you to realize it.

What you are saying makes it sound like I'm going to resign tomorrow.

Did you have something you wanted to say to me?

Actually, at today's wedding, I was thinking

I'm not young.

It can be said that I have my own business.

It's time to start my own family.

I also think that

if I were to wear a tuxedo, I would be kind of handsome.

If I were to stand in as the position of the groom,

I hope that the bride would be you.

Will you marry me?

Put it on me.

You're back, did you eat yet?

I have your food, I'll go heat it up.

I'm not hungry.

Even so, you should still eat some.

I'm really not hungry.

What's wrong, in a bad mood?

Nothing.

Nothing?

Your face is darker than Judge Bao.

Did you fight with someone?

It's really nothing.

What is there that you can't talk about?

What happened?

Today, I helped my coworker drive a wedding car.

Do you know who the bride was?

Who was it?

It was Mi Mi.

What bad luck, and she was also ragging on me.

Enough, I don't want to talk about this.

Hello, Dad?

I just went out to buy something.

Yeah, I got it. I'll go home now.

My dad's rushing me home, the food's right here.

If you want to eat it,

just place it in the microwave to heat it up.

I'm leaving.

Xin Tong.

You don't need to come over every day.

I can take care of myself.

It's nothing. I do this on my spare time.

Remember to eat.

If you don't want to wash the dishes then just leave it,

I'll wash them tomorrow.

I'm leaving now.

Hello?

I arrived at the airport.

Alright, I'll wait for you.

Remember to bring all the things.

OK. I understand. Don't worry.

I have an incoming call.

I'll see you later. Alright.

Bye bye.

Hey. Are you Yan Fei?

Is there a problem?

No.

What's going on?

He's bleeding.

Where's the police?

What happened here? They went running that way.

Over there?

Yan Fei?

Yan Fei.

How are you? How do you feel?

Did you call the ambulance?

Yang Gian, it's me.

I can't go. Something came up.

No, Yan Fei got injured.

I'm going to send him to the hospital. I'll get you later, okay?

I'll talk to you later.

Hello? Hello?

Out of battery.

How are you?

Sorry.

I caused you trouble.

How much is it?

No need.

Why not? How much is it?

It's really not necessary.

Why do you have to be like this?

I'm sorry.

The phone you've called is currently unable to connect.

Please try and call again.

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

Sorry.

Qing Fei?

Yang Gian?

Start the car.

Get off.

I'm already in the car.

I'm the driver. I can ask you to get off.

I'm the customer.

If you don't driver me I can complain to your company.

Alright. You win. Where to?

Just keep driving til I say to stop.

Stop the car.

What this about?

You purposely made me drive you around so you could pay me back the $200?

That's right.

Then you are too naive.

This $200, after you deduct gas and car rental,

not much of it is left for me.

This is the only way to give you back your money.

Why don't you just give it to me directly?

If I gave it to you would you take it?

Of course.

If someone gave me money, why wouldn't I take it?

Fine, I'll take back this $200. You can get off now.

Hurry up and get off. I still have to work.

One year ago,

without a word why'd you leave?

This happened so long ago.

It's been a whole year, why bring it up now?

Anyways, we both are leading different lives.

Isn't that good?

I know you're just going along with me.

Why don't you just tell me the truth.

You done bothering me?

I told you not to talk about it.

Get off.

Get off.

Why are you dragging other people down?

Why don't you straighten things out with me?

I have a right to know why.

When you liked me,

you asked to to be your girlfriend and you stayed with me.

When you didn't like me, you pushed me away and ran off.

Have you ever thought about me?

Do you know how I've made it through this year?

You have money. You're a young master

and I'm a poor girl, so you can mess with my feelings?

I put you in a wrong light. You're too irresponsible.

OK. You want to know why, right?

I'll tell you right now.

My mom and dad died when their plane crashed.

My house and the company got taken away.

I went from a rich person to a taxi driver.

I no longer have the means to support you

or make your dreams come true. Are you satisfy now?

Get in.

Actually, I'm lucky

finding jobs aren't that hard.

I don't understand how it was hard for you to find a job back then.

In this year I've done so many jobs.

Day laborer, plumber, taxi driver, I've done everything.

So, you've been doing part time jobs.

Yeah, what about part time jobs?

Right now, I'm able to make ends meet.

Why didn't you look for your friends for help?

Don't mention it.

My so called friends, at the mention of my name

would try and avoid me. Just like if they saw a ghost.

Actually, I'm use to it.

I'm use to this peaceful lifestyle.

Without such friends, I actually feel more relaxed.

Is there anything I can help you with?

Help me?

You already did.

I have a lot of friends

and some are the bosses of big companies.

I can help you get a better job.

Then can you ask them to give me the boss's job?

Forget it.

You can help me once, but not forever.

Don't waste your time.

Why are you so stubborn?

Me stubborn? You were the same.

Back then, did you let me help you?

This is it (all there is). Sit where ever you like.

Not bad. It's very comfortable.

Thanks.

- Want some water? - No, thanks.

It's better then I expected it would be.

For a bachelor, your home is pretty neat.

You're home. What happened to your head...

Xin Tong.

Yu Qing?

I never imagine we would meet again at this place.

How long haven't we seen each other?

It's been about a year.

It's been almost a year.

- You got thinner. - Really?

And you? How have you been?

I'm doing well. Everyday I'm buried in work.

Yu Qing.

About Yan Fei's situation. Sorry.

Actually, I really wanted to tell you about what happened,

but Yan fei wouldn't let me tell you.

It's fine. It's over anyways, don't mention it.

You're not angry?

- Really? - I'm not angry.

You know I've kept this in my heart for a year.

I feel so relieved now.

Why didn't you attend last time's reunion?

Over time. I have a lot of work to do, so I didn't go.

How are you now?

Me?

Right now, I've become the manager of our noodle shop.

You've won over uncle?

Of course. How long have you known me?

Is Yan Fei doing good?

Him?

What is there for him?

His family has dealt with a hard blow.

It's hard to deal.

If it was me, I probably would have collapsed.

Who is it? When did it happen?

Is it marriage or engagement?

An engagement.

Really? That's great.

It's my company's boss.

One day, I'll introduce you to him.

Okay.

How about you?

Me?

I'm like before. I don't even have a boyfriend.

Don't lie to me. You even left the teddy bear there.

There's nothing going on between us.

I just come over when I have free time

to do some cooking and cleaning.

I forgot, I came over to bring him noodles to eat.

Wait for me a minute.

Do you need some help?

No, that's okay.

I forgot, hurry and come over and eat.

Hurry.

Here.

Thanks.

Is it good?

I'm going home now.

It was difficult to meet up

and your leaving so quickly.

We can meet anytime you want.

Are you still going to visit Yan Fei?

No.

You're afraid that I'll come?

No.

I'll go first. My dad's waiting for me.

Be careful.

Xin Tong, take good care of Yan Fei.

- Bye bye. - Bye bye.

Yan Fei, farewell.

You feel wronged,

so you hit people.

You hit your own company's worker.

Enough, you don't need to act anymore.

You really think I didn't know?

You hired someone to beat me.

I've made a mistake towards your nephew.

What are you talking about?

What am I talking about?

You know exactly what I'm talking about.

You wanted to teach me a lesson.

Why did you need to go in a circle?

You.

You, what? What?

I am framing you and what?

Alright, then frame me.

I'm just a little driver. Go frame me.

I'm telling you, I quit.

Here you are talking big.

Don't even know where you were when I had money.

You were fired again?

This time it wasn't my fault.

Yeah, you're never at wrong, it's always others that are at fault.

You're looking for jobs just now. Why can't you be persevere?

Enough, can you not talk about this anymore?

I'm sorry.

I know it's hard for you to deal.

If you want to take it out on me, go ahead.

As long as you feel better, it's fine.

Xin Tong, don't say that.

The more you say this the more I feel bad.

You still miss Yu Qing, right?

If you miss her, go look for her.

Don't say nonsense.

We have nothing to do with each other.

Alright, I won't talk about this anymore.

I'll help you look around and see who is hiring.

- Good morning, Manager Zhou. - Morning.

Manager Zhou, did you say you where going on vacation?

Why are you back?

Too many things to do, so I decide to go later.

Oh, so it's like that.

Morning everyone.

Good morning, Mr. Yang.

- Good morning. - Good morning, Mr. Yang.

I'm really sorry about yesterday.

Forget it. It's in the past.

Yesterday, I ran into Yan Fei at the airport.

He got hurt his head and was bleeding badly.

So I sent him to the hospital.

Why is he a taxi driver now?

He's been through a lot this past year.

I'm really sorry.

If it weren't for me,

we would be at (name of place) on our vacation,

taking a nice break.

Don't place these things in your heart.

Later, after we are married

we will have plenty of time to visit all those places.

I promised to take you around the world.

I will definitely be able to do it.

I called you yesterday, but I couldn't get through the whole day.

I thought you were angry at me.

Oh, yesterday I dropped and broke my phone at the airport.

Why would I be angry with you?

By coincidence,

at the airport I ran into an old friend I haven't seen in a while.

We went out for a couple of drinks.

So I didn't mention it. Sorry to make you worried.

It's good that you're alright.

Here, hurry and eat.

How was your job interview today?

It was OK.

It doesn't matter.

If you persevere, you will make it.

Like in the tortoise and the hare race,

just because you run fast doesn't mean you'll win.

When the boat meets the dock, every thing will fall in its place.

You don't need to rush.

Oh right, wait here.

Look, I found these job openings for you.

I circled all the ones that might suit you.

You found these all?

Yeah. Look at this one, I think this job suits you.

They're hiring people to test cars and repair cars.

You like cars and have a driver's license.

And there is this company.

It's really close to where you live.

You can save on bus fare and sleep in.

What?

Thank you.

No problem.

You should eat your food before it gets cold.
