[Young and Forever]

[Episode 17]

I feel like we came here

on your birthday one year as well.

Really?

Back then, I'd never been

to a high-class restaurant like this.

I was too busy

looking outside the window.

I think I broke a glass.

Yeah. Now that I think about it,

it's been years.

The Yang Cheng under the crystal chandelier

was like the male lead

in a romantic movie.

But I was

more like an audience.

Sorry.

My demeanor still

doesn't match the surroundings.

Happy New Year!

Qiaoqiao.

Let's get married

after I come back.

The audience was dragged into the screen

with the script

whose mistakes she couldn't figure out.

Faced with the male lead's smile,

she lost her words.

What did I say?

Are you convinced? Am I accurate?

In this life,

you've only been accurate

about this one most rediculous thing.

How is marriage ridiculous?

Don't mention that word

to me for now.

Tell me.

How did he propose to you?

Did he kneel on one knee?

No.

He... He just simply put the ring on me.

That's so exhilarating.

This is called competence.

He doesn't bother

to play gentleman.

"Your future is in my hands."

I'm going to write that down

in the script.

The thing is, his doing

makes me not able to turn him down.

Wait.

Turn him down?

Are you crazy?

Do you think

we look like

we can get married?

No.

That's why you have to get married soon.

It'll be too late when Yang Cheng comes to himself.

What kind of family was Yang Cheng born into?

Don't drive him away with your drama.

It's just a little different

from what I imagined.

Psychic Lu.

Have you ever thought about

what kind of person you'll marry

in the future

and what kind of life you'll live?

Yes.

I think about it every day.

I just want to marry

a rich man like Yang Cheng

and live the life you'll live in the future.

Forget it. I'm done talking with you.

I'm leaving.

Do you want a reading

about which day

is suitable for a wedding?

No, thanks.

Listen.

Don't tell anyone about this.

Yang Cheng proposed to Qiaoqiao.

What did you say?

He proposed.

What do you think?

Is this gossip surprising and big enough?

[Jianbing Guru]

Excuse me, two chiefs.

How about moving a few steps

and being on a trance outside the shop?

Are we bothering you?

You look so sad.

It affects the business.

You look really bad.

Likewise.

I'm not sad.

I'm just sympathizing with you.

Why didn't Yang even tell you

before he pulled off

such a power move?

Xie Qiao didn't tell you, either.

Are they really getting married?

How would I know?

You should go ask Xie Qiao.

Never mind.

I'll wait for her.

to tell me.

I'm afraid that she will say yes

after I ask her.

I won't even know

what to follow up next.

Here.

Take your time and talk.

I'll get you some snacks.

Thanks, auntie.

Did you tell your mom

that you proposed to Xie Qiao?

No.

We won't get married right away.

So she doesn't need to know.

So you seriously

want to marry her?

Is that not good?

Aren't you always

on Xie Qiao's side?

It's not bad.

But have you thought this through?

I used to think

you might never get married.

At first, I also thought

I wouldn't get married.

But later I found out

that Xie Qiao is different from others.

Being with her

does not change my life

in any way.

Plus. no matter what I want to do,

as long as I tell her,

she will agree.

Is this the reason for your proposal?

You know

I don't like the romance type.

Especially those

who die for love.

Maybe in the end,

this love is subjunctive.

So, is Xie Qiao willing?

What did she say?

She didn't say anything.

What's wrong, Qianqian?

What are you looking for?

Where is my bracelet?

What bracelet?

The bracelet Yihui gave me.

It's like in Young and Dangerous.

One for each of us.

Is it golden?

Yes.

You saw it? Where?

When Yihui's ashes were buried,

you said you didn't want to see this stuff,

so it stayed there with him.

Mom.

I'm scared.

I found my memories about Yihui

are fading bit by bit.

It's only been a year.

How can I forget?

No, I must not forget.

Silly girl.

All people forget.

Isn't it good

to forget something unhappy?

If even I forget about Yihui,

in this world,

who else will remember him?

So I don't want to go out.

I don't want to see anyone.

I don't want to talk.

These all occupy

the space in my mind.

As time passes,

the memories about Yihui

will gradually be squeezed away.

Qianqian.

Let me take you to a place.

[Inpatient Department]

Qianqian.

Do you know where this is?

Yes.

Isn't this the hospital where I was born?

Why do you bring me here?

Don't worry.

For you and dad,

I won't commit suicide anymore.

A human's life

is indeed hard.

But no matter how hard it is,

you have to move forward.

Back then,

if I had taken my life here,

you wouldn't be here.

And you wouldn't have met Yihui.

In life,

meeting and parting is meant to happen.

♫Don't be disappointed♫

Remembering is paired with forgetting.

♫Don't be sad♫

But people

have always lived like this

from generation to generation.

♫Rest assured and sleep if you're tired♫

You at present

are the biggest souvenir

for Yihui's life.

♫The daylight will come♫

♫We won't have much time♫

♫And I still have something to say♫

♫I won't miss how you look♫

♫We have separated for too long, even the frost has turned yellow♫

♫I have lost someone I love♫

♫In exile with a leaf♫

♫The story needs to be told slowly♫

Are you finished?

I'll do the dishes.

No.

Let dad do it.

Go rest.

Thank you, mom.

It's been a long time

since we ate on the same table with our girl.

Is she really okay now?

Yes.

She told me on the way back

that she wanted to travel around.

Take her then.

We bought a house in Hainan

which we haven't lived in yet.

The weather is the just the best

for you to visit now.

Hurry up and book the tickets.

Hurry up.

Okay, I'll do it after dinner.

Okay.

Put on your hat.

Here, put on your hat.

A princess can't wear a hat.

A princess should wear a crown.

Then let your brother

help you put the hat on.

Put the hat on for now.

When we get married,

then you will wear a crown

Fine.

Qiaoqiao, it's the left foot.

I keep getting the steps wrong.

[1991]

How am I going to get married?

You can't even tell right from wrong.

Xiaochuan won't marry you for sure.

What should I do?

I'll marry you.

Fine.

If I haven't get married by the age of 30,

you have to marry me.

Okay.

Pinky swear.

The promise can never be broken.

Liar liar, pants on fire.

Liar liar, pants on fire.

You two

have to keep your promise.

Okay!

Hello?

Yang Cheng.

I want to talk to you

about us.

What?

Are you outside?

I'm at my friend's...

You go in first.

I'm at my friend's shop.

It's New Year's Eve.

Do you want to come over?

Never mind.

I don't want to if there are many people.

Well,

let's talk after New Year's Day.

Okay.

I'm back.

You're back.

What's wrong?

Sister, is this your proposal ring?

Xie Yu!

Why did you take my stuff?

Who... Who is this guy?

Yang Cheng!

When did he give it to you?

Who is Yang Cheng?

He's my sister's boyfriend.

Now her fiance.

This thing he gave you

is quite valuable.

Why do you randomly leave it like this?

Come on, put it on for grandma.

It's so pretty.

See.

It's such a big deal.

Why didn't you tell your family?

Listen.

The man

must firstly come to our place to fetch you.

Grandma, well...

Let grandma see.

Is the ring

a little big?

I'll wrap it with a red thread later.

Be careful. Don't lose it.

Where are you going?

I'm heading out.

[Closed]

I want a pancake.

Can't you see we're closed?

Can you work overtime?

This ring looks pretty good.

So big.

So... You knew.

Wang Ying. She told me.

I have to say,

Yang

is pretty generous to you.

You... You're not with the wrong person.

Aren't you generous, too?

You have prepared the New Year gift

for Wang Ying in advance.

But not to me.

Ended up gifting a bear.

Why didn't you think

about asking me beforehand?

Wang Ying does not like the cute style.

I guess after you gifted her that,

she hardly wears it.

So,

the thing on your finger,

you like it a lot?

Qin Chuan.

Congratulations!

♫It's like Nightingale is back♫

♫You are right in front of my eyes♫

I didn't expect it.

In a blink of an eye,

♫The fleeting shadow in a trance♫

we're both at the age

of getting married.

♫The shape of purity's beauty in a trance♫

♫My heart is invaded by despair♫

Indeed.

♫I dare not give shape to love♫

After a couple of years,

you might be getting married, too.

♫But those distant scenes♫

Maybe.

I'm not as stingy as you.

♫Keep striking my soul♫

When the time comes,

I'll give you and Wang Ying

♫All the fancy clothes have lost their color♫

a big amount of money as wedding gift.

What do you mean by that?

♫But the rain has taken back the noise♫

Are you reminding me

that I shouldn't be stingy with my gift

for your and Yang Cheng's wedding?

♫Your face in the mirror ♫

Let me tell you.

As long as you promise

♫ With a smile that comes from acupuncture ♫

not to get married multiple times in your life,

I will definitely give you enough.

Screw you!

♫Falling♫

♫Only the wind goes down the mountain and crosses the river♫

Not too shabby.

♫Blowing the dust on the screen♫

I was wondering

if you still can't get married

by the age of 30,

♫Dissipating little by little♫

I'll reluctantly

take you under my wing.

♫The Holy light sways♫

Thank you.

No need for your trouble.

♫Soaring♫

Seven.

Six.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One!

Happy New Year, everyone!

New year,

new life,

new hope.

The new year has come.

Qin Chuan and I

will really start our new life.

It used to be "our",

in the future, it likely will be divided

into "my" and "his".

[Jianbing Guru]

Hello, 2007!

Are you crazy?

You don't drink at all.

Why did you drink so much today?

It's New Year's Eve.

I'm happy.

Fine, I give up.

Miss Yingying.

Miss Yingying?

You haven't called me

by my childhood nickname for so long.

You told me not to.

Have you forgotten?

Back in experimental middle school,

I called you that once

and you ignored me for two weeks.

How much you obey my words.

I was just making a compromise to you.

Then why did you

break your promise?

What did I say?

Have you forgotten?

We agreed when we were kids.

No one would get married when we grew up.

You still remember that?

You didn't take it seriously, either.

Otherwise,

why are you friends with that guy?

Alright, stop laughing.

Come on. Let's go home.

You can't drink anymore.

[Tianhe Entertainment]

Why are you here?

Your company

is holding a single release conference.

Now only we entertainment reporters

and you entertainers have no holiday breaks.

We can't even celebrate New Year's Day.

I thought

it has to be your turn this time

no matter what happens.

You haven't put out anything for so long.

I'm more than ready

to write a wire copy for you.

I went to the UK to see Xiaozhou.

Chen Tianhe was very angry.

So,

I'm half shunned now.

Why are you always

going against your boss?

I worked hard to get the chance.

Of course I had to visit him.

Otherwise, what do I make money for?

Since you're already here,

save me some money.

Treat me to a restaurant.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Why did you lose so much weight?

Don't tell me

they even cut down half of your meal money.

No.

Saving money and losing weight.

That's killing two birds with one stone.

It makes me look good on camera.

I've had feelings for you

for a long time.

I can guarantee you

that no one

in this life

will have stronger feelings

for you than me.

So, forget about Yang Cheng.

If you must get married,

can I be the one?

Godfather,

I'm just

saying this to you

here.

Since Qiaoqiao is willing,

I can’t...

I can't go there

and ruin it.

So I'll wait

till I'm very old,

and then call Qiaoqiao over

and say what I said today

to her sincerely

in front of you.

I can then feel relieved

in my life.

So,

you must

live a long life.

Remember this for me.

Who are you looking for, young girl?

I'm looking for Xie Qiao.

Which office is she in?

This is the one.

Xie.

Someone is looking for you.

You should be aware

of what I want to talk to you about.

No.

Every year,

I go to the UK at least twice.

To be with Yang Cheng.

Didn't he tell you that?

He probably

doesn't want to.

In the UK,

we dine together,

go shopping together,

watch movies together,

party with classmates together,

and travel around Europe together.

We also drive together

through the entire Atlantic Ocean Road.

That sounds great.

Being in a relationship

should be like this.

You surely avoided a lot of trouble.

You didn't have to go through all that

and went straight to marriage.

Do you want it?

Don't you think you're really something.

Aren't you pretending

to be generous

just to sit tight in this position?

To Yang Cheng,

I'm neither the first one

nor will I be the last one.

You're the same.

You can choose to endure.

But that will not be

for a little while.

It'll be a lifetime.

Let me tell you something.

I'm pregnant.

Cat got your tongue?

Aren't you jealous and angry

but not willing to give up your marriage with him?

You don't want to be a stepmother

before becoming a bride, right?

Are you thinking about

how to persuade me not to have this baby?

Say it.

I really want to know

how a girl that's said to be innocent

and never begs for help

can say

such cruel words.

Does Yang Cheng know?

Of course he does.

But I think

it's been so long,

he and I can't just keep everything

only between us

and leave you out of it.

Let's be fair this time

and face it together.

My love

is a failure.

And yours

is a mess as well.

You can do whatever you want.

That's your business.

I have no right to interfere.

Don't be pretentious.

You're making it so high-sounding.

Do you think you can hoax me?

Do you really wish to marry him?

Why?

Will you step out

if I say yes?

This ring is a little too big.

It's been pretty uncomfortable to wear.

This time, I can finally

take it off for a reason.

You...

Are you really letting it go this easily?

But it's not because of you.

I also don't think

what you have is any sort of love.

True love

doesn't have space for so many people.

I've got the bill.

No need.

I don't know if I'm being innocent.

No matter what happens in the future,

now that

you're a mother,

don't use your child as a weapon.

Also,

don't drink coffee if you're pregnant.

You kept drinking even though I told you not to

and even drank yourself sick.

When I came in,

your mother scolded me.

I'll never take you out

to have fun anymore.

I don't want to go with you anyway.

I told her.

Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is powered off.

[Xie Qiao]

What are you doing? What's wrong?

Ren Siyu went to see Xie Qiao.

Xie Qiao didn't answer my call.

You call her.

Hell, what can she say to Xie Qiao?

[Where are the Happy Girls?]

Did you ask Xu Lin to write it?

No.

I think the part about you is the best.

"When she's not under the lights of a stage,

in a dark rehearsal room,

Qianxi practices time after time

her basic skills.

Because she doesn't want to give up her studies

nor give up her dream.

So, this night for her

is bound to be a bit long."

It's got over 10 million views.

I received several calls

asking about you today.

Some from the media, some from our peers.

Xu Lin

is a good friend from my dorm.

She came to see me that day.

Maybe she felt inspired by something.

Mr. Chen.

If it's affected the company,

I'm sorry.

You,

go to practice

in the vocal room right now.

Do not eat or sleep.

Record the song

within three days.

Mr. Chen, do you mean...

Xiao Qianxi.

You're going to make a debut.

Go.

♫Dark clouds always go away♫

♫They can't hide the rainbow♫

♫A million storms♫

♫Pave the way for a dream♫

Miss Qianxi,

are you ready?

Yes.

Qiaoqiao.

Yang Cheng.

You are leaving me, right?

We should break up.

I never thought she'd come to you.

Because I always believed

even if you knew

about me and Ren Siyu,

it'd be me and her that broke apart.

Yang Cheng.

You're so full of yourself.

I broke up with you

not because of Ren Siyu.

Before she came,

I'd been wondering

about how

to return this to you.

Qiaoqiao.

I really want to marry you.

Why?

Yang Cheng.

Why do you want to marry me?

Do you love me?

I thought

you wouldn't ask me this question.

Yeah.

I do have feelings for you.

But those may not be love.

Just like what you have for me

may not be love as well.

Yes?

Am I right?

Don't you think

we are a little pitiful?

It's been so many years.

You don't know

what my favorite dish is,

what my favorite movie is,

what music I listened to recently,

how my work has been,

what I need,

or what worries me.

And I...

I don't know about you, either.

Aren't we always like this?

That's why you're not clingy,

you don't call me every day,

you don't ask me every night

about who I have dinner with

or when I will be back,

you don't interfere and restrict me,

you don't ask me

to do this and that,

and you don't have tantrums.

We

never quarrel.

Isn't it pretty good

to get married

happily and freely like this?

But we really got married

and lived like this forever,

then the truth is...

The truth is, the person

sleeping next to you

would just be a decoration for you.

You don't even love your wife,

Yang Cheng.

Don't you think it's hilarious?

Then what do you think

marriage is like?

How dare you to say

those who allegedly understand

and appreciate each other

and walk into each other's lives,

and those eager

to mark their territories

like pissing puppies

can live better than us,

Qiaoqiao?

Well...

All the divorced people

were once people

that loved each other.

Yeah.

I don't dare to say that.

I don't know

if those who loved each other

will end up together

or

break apart

more tragically than us.

But I know,

and I'm sure

that the one with whom you spend your life

shouldn't be someone that doesn't love you.

Only those who love each other

can be together.

Only those who love each other

should get married.

When I was a freshman,

I dated you

because I had feelings for you.

Now, I'm breaking up with you

because those feelings are gone.

Yang Cheng.

Love is different from being loved.

It is another kind of happiness.

Maybe one day,

you will meet this girl.

When you

have delicious food,

you'll want to bring her a portion;

when you see beautiful scenery,

you'll want to take her to see it with you;

when you maybe hear

a really funny joke,

you'll not be able to wait

to tell her immediately.

Of course,

when you're troubled by something,

you'll want to talk to her.

And when you're not together,

you'll miss her so much.

This feeling of missing her is so strong

that you'll only be at ease

if you can be together

forever.

Then,

at that time,

you will propose to her.

Because marriage

is the only way

to keep her by your side.

It's "I can only".

It's "I must".

It's "I have to".

Although,

now your dad and your mom

are indeed not happy together,

but I believe

they were once happier than anyone else.

Love indeed makes people feel insecure.

However,

surely the sense of security

is not built by not loving.

Last time you left,

I wished you

to find something you really love.

This time,

I wish you

to find someone you really love.

Qiaoqiao.

I'm sorry.

I... I'm going home.

My family is waiting for me to have dinner.

Okay.

Qiaoqiao.

If there's something

I can help you with in the future,

I'm always available.

Thank you.

Qiaoqiao.

See you.

See you.

I don't know

how many times I'll say "see you" in my life,

which time it is a promise to meet again,

and which time it is the true farewell.
