[Once and Forever]

[Episode 5]

You are head of the dorm, right?

Take a look at this.

For no reason,

they had a fight in other people's dorm!

Toughen up.

All right.

Be gentle.

Why didn't you

tell me?

Qiaoqiao closed the door.

She started it.

If it weren't for you,

they wouldn't have called

the security office

and insisted that a guy had broken in.

Young lady,

why did even you

mess around with them?

Leave me alone.

I was bitten by someone.

I need to get the vaccine for rabies.

Thank you, Qiaoqiao.

Don't.

Don't thank me.

My ego would double its size.

Your homegirl is so wicked.

Even if you indeed had been suspended from school,

she shouldn't have put up such a post

to roast you like that.

How much bad blood does she have with you?

She fancies the mayor's son.

How corny.

Qiaoqiao, tomorrow after class,

bring Qin Chuan with you.

Xiaochuan said

he wanted to treat you two to dinner.

I was bitten by somebody.

Is it that funny?

I didn't expect my girlfriend

to be so fierce.

Girlfriend who?

She didn't admit to it at all.

Sooner or later.

What on earth do you love about Xie Qiao?

When I was at MoneyBox,

I saw her crying

while wrestling with the ring.

I thought she very much resembled my mom.

My parents' divorce

went exactly like that.

I couldn't help

lending her a hand.

Don't find yourself excuses

for pursuing girls.

The thing with your mom

has long passed.

[Lobster, Seafood]

First love?

What happened later?

What first love?

Don't listen to his nonsense.

Whoes nonsense?

Xiaochuan, as expected,

you really have a complicated love life.

Screw you.

He Xiaozhou,

didn't you say

you've never been in a relationship?

I surely haven't!

Ask Qiaoqiao if you don't believe me.

No, he hasn't.

Hold on.

Comrade,

have you forgotten

Takuya,

who was a distant memory?

Pen pal?

Yes!

Their conversation

became so heated.

They talked about thier dreams, mottos,

blood type, and life.

The letters between them

stacked up to be this high.

Even their way of arranging a date was romantic.

The secret signal

was to place a glass wine bottle on the table.

Why do you remember everything?

What happened after that?

Love perished after sight?

It was even worse than that!

We waited there for a long time.

And eventually a man showed up.

What...

It turned out their conversation went astray.

They'd been exchanging letters for over a year,

and they both thought the other was a girl.

What happened later?

What else could happen?

They could only put on an act,

stand up,

take a bow, shake hands,

and hug each other in tears, saying

"We're still friends after this."

That part never happened!

That never happened.

Be honest,

have you exchanged letters

with Takuya afterwards?

Why would I?

I took back all the letters.

The thought of copying so many lyrics

for a man

made feel uncomfortable.

Come on, let's drink.

Cheers.

Sorry for the suffering.

You...

Honestly, it's not impossible.

You're quite crafty.

Pretend to be innocent

and nice to everyone.

But when you meet someone you truly love,

you lock on to her in an instant.

But honestly,

Qianxi is pretty good.

Cut it out.

When you meet someone you love,

you'll understand.

You should hurry and find a good girl.

I've already met one.

What are you two talking about

so joyfully?

That he bites into you and won't let go!

What is that?

Xiaozhou, I'm so happy now.

I've never been this happy

since I was young.

Me, too.

I wish

I could get old being like this right now.

I even wish

today was the end of the world.

Then our happiness

would be final.

Nothing would go wrong.

No accidents would happen.

And our epitaph would be:

"These two died of happiness."

Don't be silly.

I don't want today

to be the end of the world.

I'm greedy.

We have a long way to go.

Don't you let go.

Actually, I've given it some thoughts.

Xiaochuan to me

is like an idol.

Someone I admire so much

that I went blind a little,

which gave me the delusion of love.

But if you really want me

to date him,

I can't even imagine how.

Exactly.

If you were really dating him,

I couldn't dare to imagine what it'd be like.

I would be so uneasy.

Stop picking on me.

I know I don't deserve him.

Look at them two.

It's like they walked down

from a postcard.

Okay, that's enough.

Stop being jealous.

You already had a fight

and went to dinner.

What else do you want?

If you keep nagging,

you'll truly be no match for her.

I already lost.

Who said you lost?

It was Xiaochuan that lost a good girl.

Really?

Of course not!

Qin Chuan!

Stop!

Slow down, you two! Don't trip!

From that day on,

Xiaochuan has really become a postcard

at the bottom of my heart.

I sent it back

to my youth

to comfort that little girl

who wouldn't rest

so as to make it to Peking or Tsinghua University.

You're amazing.

You worked hard to realize your dream.

But sorry.

In your future,

no such person can be found.

You're really something.

It's just like when you were young.

You commit to what you choose to pursue.

Nobody asked you to keep running.

Qiaoqiao.

Let's go to Shanghai together.

My sisters in 213,

I left for Shanghai with Qin Chuan.

If we do a roll call

or have to hand in homework,

please cover me.

I'll bring you delicious food when I'm back.

Qiaoqiao.

Who will pick us up?

I don't know, either.

She didn't make it clear.

But there has to be someone

that picks us up.

[Mr. Qin Chuan, Ms. Qiao]

May I ask whether it's Qin Qian

that sent you to pick us up?

[Mr. Qin Chuan, Ms. Xie Qiao]

Qin Chuan?

Xie Qiao?

Thank you?

Got them.

We're on our way.

Did your sister sent them?

Apart from her,

who else could it be?

Then why does it look like

we're being kidnapped?

I asked you to pick someone up for me.

Why

did you scare them like this?

President Qin.

Didn't you tell us to talk less

and not to scare the little girl?

With that look of yours,

it's scarier when you're not talking, okay?

Never mind.

Hurry up.

Reserve me a place at Xi’s Garden.

I want to treat them to dinner.

I'm on it.

Didn't you say you started a company?

What is this?

A dummy company?

We were planning

to change to a bigger place.

The new office is not ready yet.

We were in the middle of moving out from the old one

when you arrived.

Let's go.

Yihui is waiting for us.

I think,

your childhood dream

of being the boss of everywhere in the country

has finally been realized by your sister.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Brother Yihui.

This is Qiaoqiao, remember?

Back then,

she was still a little girl.

You've grown much taller

and prettier.

If you walk on the street,

I don't think I can recognize you.

Hypocrite.

You haven't changed much.

Likewise.

I didn't expect after so many years,

you still have eyes only for this vixen

in our family.

It’s not easy.

Qin Chuan, do you wish to die?

No.

Help yourselves more.

Get full.

I'll take you to buy clothes tomorrow.

What clothes?

Clothes for my wedding, of course.

On my wedding,

one of you is the bridesmaid,

the other one is the best man.

Xie Qiao.

Yes.

Xu Lin.

Yes!

Zhang Qiang.

Yes!

Cai Xingjuan.

Yes!

Why are you here?

Chen Heping.

-To see my girlfriend. -Yes!

Where is she?

Your girlfriend ran away with someone.

You don't know?

What do you mean?

Xu Lei.

-Xie Qiao and Qin Chuan went to Shanghai. -Yes!

Fang Kexin.

Yes!

Wu Yukun.

Yes!

Seriously?

Zhu Fang.

-She didn't even admit that she was with you. -Yes!

She's hanging out with a friend, so what?

Who said she didn't admit it?

She said it herself.

Are you serious?

Didn't you say that stuff like relationship

is not worth taking seriously?

Indeed.

Yes!

But if both parties

are not taking it seriously,

Zhao Qian.

it becomes boring.

Yes!

How is it?

Don't show that much if you're not in shape.

Who are you trying to impress?

Annoying.

Why are you blushing?

Am I?

It's hot.

It's too hot in this room.

You're like

an ostrich.

It darkens your complexion.

Too tacky.

Sister Qianqian, look at him!

Annoying.

Go get changed yourself.

Stop causing chaos here.

Move.

I'll change here.

Over there.

Actually, she should look good in this.

Not bad.

Let me see you arm in arm.

Fine feathers make fine birds.

This is it.

You finally look a bit decent.

You upstart.

The bride.

You look so pretty.

Sister Qianqian, you know what?

I've been envious of you since I was a kid.

I want to be

a girl like you.

Look at you.

You're so beautiful

and decisive.

Maybe I can never

have the nerves like you.

I can never be

a girl like you.

Qiaoqiao, don't become anyone.

It's the best to be yourself.

In fact, I'm not that courageous.

I just commit to my choice.

People

are often frightened

by "what about the future?"

But future, which is a long time,

is what we live,

not what we imagine.

None of us knows

after meeting which person,

our fate will be sealed.

[Double happiness]

It's not easy

to enter this door.

I've been long prepared

for your bride price.

What do you mean?

You still won't let me in?

I saw you have a nice wallet yesterday.

Groom, please come in.

What time is it now?

He's here.

You need the groom to pick you up.

No need.

I want to go with him.

Happy wedding.

You are the first person

who dare to rob me in my life.

Go. Go.

Sister Qianqian.

Be happy.

You, too.

Why are they all dressed like this?

It feels like

we're in a Hong Kong gangster movie.

My sister said

she wanted a unique wedding.

That's why Yihui

made everyone dress like this.

Don't wear that. You'll trip.

I didn't see this kid.

Called it.

You tripped, right?

Well deserved.

Why didn't you tell me

there's a stair?

Nonsense.

Let's welcome them to step forward.

Dear guests,

friends,

ladies and gentlemen.

Greetings!

Their names

used to be a legend in Beijing.

Their love

will be a myth in Shanghai.

A round of applause, please!

Brilliant!

Every glance back, happiness is in sight.

Let's take a look

at their love story.

Thank you, Sister Qin Qian.

How do you know my name's Qin Qian?

I'm Tan Hui.

Just call me Yihui.

When you come back from abroad,

you can ask around

in any alley in Shanghai.

Everyone will know who I am.

♫Don't be disappointed♫

So I'm back.

♫Don't be sad♫

That ring in the safe.

♫Rest assured and sleep if you're tired♫

When will you give it to me?

Qianqian, will you marry me?

♫The daylight will come♫

♫We won't have much time♫

Qianqian.

In Beijing, we are Nine Dragons with a Phoenix,

♫And I still have something to say♫

In Shanghai,

I'll take you to fly high as well.

From Beijing to Shanghai.

♫Don't take any risks to recall my face♫

From innocent playmates to lifetime partners.

Mr. Tan Hui.

At this moment,

you are allowed,

in the name of a husband,

♫Memories last no further than spring♫

to hug and kiss

your beautiful bride.

♫Embrace despair and be in exile with a leaf♫

Nice!

♫The story needs to told slowly♫

Perfect!

I finally married you.

Don't look at me. Annoying.

Didn't you say I'm too ugly?

Today,

you look great.

Drink.

President Cao.

Thank you!

Congratulations!

Thank you for coming.

Why is this...

Let me introduce.

How can I...

This is my brother-in-law, Qin Chuan.

This is President Cao,

the big brother we work with

at Longfeng Hydrotherapy.

Uncle Cao,

as brother-in-law,

I wish you can help my brother-in-law

in Shanghai.

We help each other.

Yeah, the help is bilateral.

Here's to you, Uncle Cao.

-Thank you. -Okay.

Together.

Congratulations.

Cheers.

Thank you.

Tan Hui.

Treat my sister well.

For every tear you make her shed,

I'll make you bleed one drop!

Sister.

It was like yesterday when you were in the yard,

scrambling for my pocket money,

How are you getting married today?

Alright, stop crying.

Do you think

I won't take your money anymore?

I'll still do.

Enough.

Brother-in-law.

What?

Can I ask you for a favor?

Go ahead.

You stand back a little.

I want to take a photo with my sister.

Stand back a little.

Just one.

One for you and one for me, okay?

Okay!

Come on.

Come on.

Take a photo here.

Where should I look?

Here. Look over there.

That was

a special and cute wedding.

I witnessed the girl

whom I've envied since childhood

run to her husband

wearing a white veil.

At that time, I thought

this is forever.

Worth cherishing for me.

You being here

is the miracle of life.

No.

Don't throw up here.

You...

I couldn't help but think a lot

about how we grew up together as friends,

What is it?

how we suddenly got separated,

and how we would reach our destination.

There's no answer.

In the end, I fell deeply asleep.

Maybe only time

can give me the answers.

Qiaoqiao.

I...

Answer the phone.

A foreign number?

I don't know who it is.

Answer it.

Why does it keep ringing?

I don't know who it is.

What if it's about the school?

Hello?

Hello.

This is St. Lawrence Hospital.

May I speak to Mr. Qin Chuan, please?

Who? What?

Who?

Where?

-Give it to me. -Hello.

Hello?

Hi, what I'm trying to say is that

I'm calling from St. Lawrence Hospital.

And Mr. Qin Chuan's girlfriend

just committed suicide.

Could he please come here as soon as possible?

What does she mean?

It's from the hospital

informing the emergency contact

and asking you to go back right away.

They said that your girlfriend,

Chen Baojia, committed suicide.

[Double happiness]

Open the door, sister!

Sister!

Sister, wake up!

Sister!

Sister, open the door!

Sister!

Sister!

Sister!

Huangpu River is not far from here

and it's not hard to throw you in there.

Book a plane ticket for me right now.

I'm going back to Canada.

Xiaochuan, who I've always had feelings for,

has Qianxi by his side.

Qin Chuan, who grew up with me,

has Chen Baojia by his side.

Qin Qian, who went from Beijing to Toronto

then to Shanghai,

has Yihui by her side.

But I'm all alone.

Just like that, I suddenly understood

what endless loneliness is.

[Canada]

How did you recover so fast?

Fast?

The doctor said

this scar will last forever.

Chen Baojia.

What act are you putting on now?

I just wanted to know

whether I have a place in Chuanchuan's heart.

Chen Baojia.

It’s truly impossible between us!

[Beijing]

Tell me.

One has somebody that's very close.

Like a real brother.

However,

at one moment,

the vibe between them suddenly changed.

Why is that?

Incest.

Don't think about it too much.

It's a typical reaction of being triggered.

You may even catch feelings

with a club right now.

But it's not your fault.

Look.

He Xiaozhou,

for whom you've had feelings for so many years,

was caught first by Qianxi.

And Qin Qian

straight up married a man.

Even someone like Qin Chuan

has somebody that committed suicide for him.

That was his roommate.

Have you ever met a roommate

who committed suicide for you?

Feeling lost?

Helpless?

Alone and lonely?

So, let me...

Again?

Chuanchuan.

Are you

calling that Xie Qiao?

No, I...

I... I wanted to tell her you're safe.

Baojia is already like this,

and you're still thinking about another woman.

Wait, wait.

Hold on a minute.

You're confusing me.

Your logic is wrong.

You're not my girlfriend or anything.

Baojia wasn't born your girlfriend,

but will die as your ghost!

What are you doing?

No. Stop!

Doctor! Doctor!

Doctor!

Hurry! Help!

Hurry up!

[Yang Cheng]

Who was it?

Nobody.

In psychology, you can only bounce back after hitting rock bottom.

It means a new opportunity is coming.

Congratulations.

The season of love is approahing.

You'll have a boyfriend soon.

Xie Qiao!

Excuse me.

I need to borrow her for a moment.

No problem. Please do.

The season of love has truly come.

What are you doing?

It hurts.

Why did you go to Shanghai

with that guy?

What guy?

He's my childhood friend.

I went to attend

his sister's wedding.

Then why didn't you answer the phone?

We have nothing to talk about.

You have fun with your childhood friend,

but have nothing to say with your boyfriend?

Yang Cheng, is it funny to you

to tease me constantly?

Who's teasing you?

Do you know

that I've booked a ticket

to Shanghai today?

If you didn't come back today,

I'd be in Shanghai tonight.

You... You really want to date me?

Don't you?

Xie Qiao.

I may really have fallen in love with you.

I didn't push Yang Cheng away.

One's loneliness

can't reject the warmth of two.

What is being in a relationship?

Is it long-term affection

or sudden thrills of a certain time?

Is it forming an alliance

or one-sided obsession?

Is it the exaggerated joy of being pursued

or

an unstoppable adventure.

I haven't figured out what love is yet.

But now the whole world knows

that I'm in a relationship.

I heard a girl from the law department said

that Yang Cheng kissed you

by the Moming lake.

Is it true?

Yes.

Yang Cheng told me just now.

Yang Cheng?

Qiaoqiao, you are together?

What a hug gossip!

Qiaoqiao, think straight.

This is no joke.

If she could think straight,

she wouldn't be with Yang Cheng.

Hello?

Don't go to the canteen after class.

I'll take you out for dinner.

Okay.

Medium well steak,

then baked lobster with cheese,

creamy pumpkin soup,

prosciutto,

and foie gras.

Remember,

no onions in any dish.

My girlfriend doesn't like onions.

Got it.

How do you know

I don't like onions

I asked Wang Ying.

Everyone knows about us.

I told Wang Ying.

Her reaction was strong.

What did she say?

She thought we don't match.

Actually,

I think the same.

What's your definition of "match"?

The thing is, I don't know you at all.

I don't even know your birthday,

zodiac sign, or blood type.

At least I know

you don't eat onions.

So my name is Yang Cheng.

I was born on September 19,

1928.

I'm of Han ethnicity, type B blood,

a Virgo.

I was born

on August 19, 1983.

Type A blood.

Do you really think

we're filling in admission forms?

What is "know somebody"?

My mom can recite

my dad's ID number.

Since young,

there's not one relative she doesn't recognize.

But she still had a divorce.

So these don't matter at all

when two people are together.

What matters the most then?

I'll tell you

when I figure it out.

Enjoy.

I'm going back to the dorm.

You should the same.

I don't live in the dorm.

Bye then.

You're just leaving like that?

Does that guy

know about us?

No.

That's all.

Head inside.

What's the date for the next monthly exam?

I don't know.

Yang Cheng.

Look outside, a girl is looking for you.

What's wrong?

Do you regret it?

I'll never regret

being with He Xiaozhou.

I'm here for Qiaoqiao.

Qiaoqiao.

What happened to her?

Nothing for now.

But I'm worried about the future.

Let's be frank.

Are you being serious

with Qiaoqiao?

Why?

Do I need to show you my determination

for the things between us two?

Of course not.

But you have to respect her feelings.

Qiaoqiao is an innocent girl.

She can't bear any deception

or play some love games.

That's strange.

If I say I have feelings for you,

you would think

it's because you look good,

and you're pretty,

attractive,

and talented.

But why when I have feelings for Xie Qiao,

it's deception?

After all, you are the one

that doesn't respect Qiaoqiao's feelings.

You coming to me

is already looking down upon Xie Qiao.

What?

Am I only allowed to have feelings

for beautiful girls like you

and not for Xie Qiao,

in whom I found the cuteness of ordinary girls?

How do you know I'm not attracted to her?

Chuanchuan.

Why do you look so tired?

Do you want a glass of water?

Don't move. Let me see.

Chen Baojia.

Is this the scar

that you said will last forever?

Chuanchuan, though the cut isn't deep,

I still bled a little.

Chuanchuan!

Chuanchuan!

What are you doing?

Pack things and go back!

-Don't you leave! -Don't touch me!

Baojia doesn't want to live anymore!

Again?

Chen Baojia!

You think you're the only one that can jump?

I can as well!

It's just jumping off a building.

Interesting. Everyone can do it!

Qin Chuan!

Chen Baojia!

Come back!

Where are you off to?

Come back!

What are you doing?

Qin... Spit it out!

Don't come close.

Listen.

If you don't let me go today,

I won't throw up!

This is vitamin C in my hand.

You took the real sleeping pills.

-Coming! -Grandma!

Grandma.

Xiaozhou.

Come in.

Okay.

Come in.

Grandma.

These are some leg warmers my mom knitted for you.

She urgently sent me to bring them here,

saying winter is just the season for these.

That's so your mom.

She has a weak constitution herself,

but she's always worried

about us elderly neighbors of hers.

No problem. It's a pleasure.

Grandma.

Where is Qiaoqiao?

In her room.

Go.

Qiaoqiao!

Xiaochuan!

Have a seat.

Qiaoqiao.

What kind of friend are you?

You didn't even tell me

you got a boyfriend.

When Qianxi and I got together,

I told you first.

Honestly, I'm a bit clueless, too.

I suddenly have a boyfriend

for no reason.

But the girls, including Qianxi,

think we don't match.

It's not up to other people

whether you match or not.

You are the one that he has feelings for, after all.

But,

I still don't fully understand

what love is.

Xiaochuan.

What do you love about Qianxi?

I love her persistence.

She believes in fate, but never gives up.

She's smart, hardworking,

and considerate.

Plus,

she's pretty.

Yang Cheng is good-looking, too.

When he drove

to our dorm,

many girls were peeping at him.

To be honest,

when I was walking with him,

I felt both nervous and happy.

I thought to myself,

why does such a handsome man

have feelings only for me?

Xiaochuan.

Do you think

I'm quite vain?

Qiaoqiao, let me tell you something.

Actually, after Qianxi learned

that you two got together,

she worried that Yang Cheng was unreliable,

so she went to him in private.

She doubted his feelings for you.

But he told her

he was simply attracted to you.

So, Qiaoqiao,

you must believe

you're a girl

that deserves to be loved.

You two have to be good.

Be happy.

Xiaochuan.

We will all be happy.

We may focus on secret love

for a long time

or fall in love

because of trivial things.

But it's all love.

Feeling that I'm worthy

of being loved

made me suddenly

have good expectations

for this relationship with a hazey start.

May I interest you with new apartments in Wangjing?

If you can't calm down,

just go have dinner with Yang Cheng.

He hasn't contacted me

for two days.

Maybe he's with his friends.

Does he have many friends?

You're the only one I know of.

Not so many.

All of them are the people in our circle

that love going clubbing

as well as some girls they bring

that come and go.

I heard you got a new girlfriend.

Yes.

Whose daughter is she?

Why do you wish to know?

Because I want to know

why it's not me.

Didn't you say you don't want to be in a relationship?

It depends on the person.

If it's someone that believes in love,

then I want to be in a relationship.
