(Music and Gym Room)

Come on, please draw a lot.

Queen. You'd play the queen.

Then you'd play the witch.

I don't want to play the witch.

Just give it a try.

It's all for the kids.

Why don't you play?

I'm a man, so I can only play the king.

Alright, hurry up and change your clothes.

Here you are.

- And yours. - Thank you.

Follow me, come on.

Come on.

A long, long time ago,

in a beautiful and distant land,

the noble king and the beautiful queen

gave birth to a beautiful princess.

So the king and queen

held a grand banquet every year

to celebrate the princess' birthday.

Welcome you to our princess' birthday party.

Your Majesties, thank you for your invitation.

I am greatly honored.

Please allow me

to offer the sincerest blessings to the beautiful princess.

I wish the princess to be healthy,

beautiful and lovely,

and with a kind heart.

And most importantly, I wish her to be loved by everyone in the world.

At this moment, a sudden chill wind blows through the palace.

A dark figure flows over.

It's the witch who didn't receive the invitation.

The witch has come.

How dare you!

How dare you not invite me to such an important party!

I am the most powerful witch in the world.

You look down on me.

Your Majesty, protect our daughter.

You two, separate.

Is that line in the script?

Y-You'd better stick to the script.

Then I shall give the beautiful princess a gift.

I curse you to sleep and never wake up.

No!

Princess! Princess!

Our princess!

This is what you get for looking down on me.

Princess! Princess!

Oh, my daughter.

How shall I save you?

Your Majesty, what should we do?

My queen.

Though my powers cannot break the witch's curse,

I know

she will only wake up when she finds someone

who truly loves her.

The poor princess has been asleep

for a very long time.

Until one day,

a handsome prince has arrived.

What a pitiful princess!

Let me save you.

One kiss will do.

Don't go too far.

Ke, wake up.

Wake up, Ke.

Our princess is awake.

Great!

Great, the princess is awake.

Brave prince,

you have saved me and my kingdom.

I sincerely thank you.

You're welcome.

The terrible curse is lifted by the brave prince.

The princess follows the prince back to his kingdom

and becomes his bride.

Nice acting.

So is yours.

I thought you would tell Jincao everything.

Don't think too highly of yourself.

You're nothing.

Maybe you're just not confident.

To be honest,

even if you tell Zhu Jincao everything,

I wouldn't mind it.

Because what I saw are the facts.

What are the facts?

The rumors?

Or the slanders?

Don't get too immersed.

Do you really think of yourself as a queen?

Are you being jealous?

This is fate.

I can draw a lot for a queen.

Let me make myself clear again.

Zhu Jincao and I are single.

Even if we are in a relationship, there is nothing to hide.

I want to pursue him.

I've seen those who are shameless,

but I've never seen anyone that shameless like you.

Goodbye, Prince.

Goodbye, Princess.

- We are leaving now, bye. - Bye.

Goodbye, Guo.

Goodbye, Ke. Bye.

Bye.

Ke.

Let me tell you.

Keep your distance

when playing with boys in the future.

Never let a boy kiss you here.

Do you understand?

I understand.

Mom.

Can you come home with us today?

Yes.

I won't stay with grandpa and grandma today.

I'm going home to be with you, okay?

Mom's going home.

The sun rises from the west?

Aren't you afraid of my mom's nagging?

I am quite afraid of your mom,

but I'm more afraid of you running into that old acquaintance.

Ke, be careful.

There's also a stew.

We didn't know you are coming back,

so we didn't prepare much.

You just make do.

Mom.

Grandma says you don't like stew,

so she specially made fried prawns,

stir-fried loofah,

and steamed yam for you.

You know much.

Thank you, Ke's Grandma.

It's okay.

Our Ke loves my stew the most.

Okay.

Who is it?

It's me.

Your dad.

How come you're here?

Grandpa.

Ke.

Do you miss me?

Yes.

I bet you forgot about me.

No.

Grandpa, you haven't come to see me for so long.

Then why don't you give me a kiss?

Alright. Ke, come down now.

Go wash your hands and have dinner.

No rush.

Zhang Shanya.

How dare you

keep such a big deal from me.

I heard from that crazy sister of yours

that my son is divorced.

Mom.

You and Dad got divorced?

Come here.

Ke, listen to me.

There are things you don't understand yet.

I will explain it to you later, okay?

Ke's Grandpa.

The two of them

have some disagreements.

A-And they just got the divorce certificate.

I thought they have room

to be together again,

so I didn't tell you.

You did it wrong. No excuse.

Dad, this is my business.

I can handle it well.

I haven't dealt with you,

but you jump out first.

When you got married, you came to me

to flatter me,

asking me to give you money

and make arrangements.

Now you've grown bold.

Ask her out to explain clearly.

Be good, Ke.

Now that you're divorced,

let's abide by the national laws.

All three of you, listen.

Gu Moli.

First, starting from today,

you can't get in my house.

You have no right to get in here.

Why do you speak so harshly?

She is Ke's mom, after all.

Second,

the divorce scandal is all over the place.

Don't slander me.

Jincao knows about my business.

Besides, I am Ke's mom.

I gave birth to her.

Let alone you,

even Jincao has no right to keep me from seeing Ke.

Get out.

Mom, please don't go.

Mom.

Grandpa, I don't want mom to leave.

Grandpa, please.

Grandpa, I don't want mom to leave.

Grandpa.

You'd go take care of Ke.

You can let her go now.

Gu Moli.

Today is the last time I allow you to get in my house.

Don't come again.

I'll say it again.

She is Ke's mom.

You can't drive her away.

Nor can I.

She's paying off the loan with me.

She still owns part of the house.

If she needs to take that money,

I'll give her the money right now.

No need, I don't want that money.

I'm leaving.

Moli.

Stop right there.

You've gone too far!

Jincao.

What are you doing?

The kid is here.

Don't scare Ke.

How dare they!

I'll go to them tomorrow.

I am still here. How dare they bully my daughter!

I can't believe it!

What kind of people are in this family?

What kind of people are they?

Mom, don't add fuel to the fire.

I don't want to hurt Ke.

Jincao will talk to his dad about this.

I'm sure he'll be on my side

and solve this.

Moli.

I support your mom this time.

The Zhu family is so arrogant.

They can't distinguish right from wrong.

They've gone too far.

I thought

if they can take good care of Ke,

I'll let the rest of it go.

But now it seems,

if Ke grows up in that family,

the consequences are unthinkable.

Gu Demao, don't just talk the talk.

Don't you know many people?

Get a lawyer right away

and get Ke back.

Don't worry, I will call right away.

Don't worry.

How can I not be worried?

Dad, Mom.

I'm really tired today.

I'll go to rest.

Wait, I...

(Nanpu Bridge)

Susan.

Mr. Zhu.

About the three-year medical insurance for the families of senior executives,

your wife's information was not approved.

What happened?

How is that possible?

I filled out her information myself.

I know her ID number by heart.

It's impossible.

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

The information is correct, but the spouse didn't pass.

There's only one reason for that.

Did you two get divorced?

Yes.

Sorry.

It's okay.

Susan.

Please

keep my divorce a secret.

Okay.

Line up.

Come on, stand in line.

Miss Sun, Class One is ready.

Yulan.

Yulan.

I think it's inappropriate for us to pick up Ke this way.

What's inappropriate?

Special circumstances require special measures.

Besides, the Zhu family are not reasonable people.

When we meet someone like them,

we have to use some tactics.

Ke.

Ke.

Grandpa, Grandma.

How come you're here?

I-I miss you.

I will take you to eat something delicious

- and buy you pretty clothes, okay? - Okay.

- Okay. - Let's go. Let's go!

Are you happy?

Happy.

Happy?

I know you have a little secret.

- You know, right? - I know it too.

Your favorite food is...

What are you doing?

Today is our turn to pick up Ke. Why are you here?

Exactly.

- Why can't we pick her up? - Exactly.

You're not picking her up,

but snatching her.

What do you mean?

Her last name is Zhu. She's one of our Zhu family.

You're not taking her today.

Yes. Ke, come to me.

- I can't believe it. - Come.

I'm telling you. I'm her grandma.

It's only right that I pick her up.

Her last name is Zhu?

I'll change her last name to Gu once I take her home.

How dare you!

What do you mean?

If you take her, I won't let you go.

- So what? - Alright.

If you take her...

Don't scare Ke.

Don't force me.

Want to hit me?

- Let go. - What?

Want to hit us?

Zhu Dali.

We are on the street.

Can you calm down?

We are all elderly people.

We can be shameless,

but Jincao and Moli need to save face.

So does Ke.

We're the grandparents.

Legally speaking,

we can see the child at any time, right?

But you should at least inform us,

no?

Let me tell you.

You're not going to win in court.

What did you say?

Why would we go to court?

Snatching a child in public.

H-How did you raise your daughter yourself?

If Ke is raised by you, then she'd be ruined.

Like father, like daughter.

What?

What do you mean?

You know well yourself.

What do you mean, Zhu Dali?

Go away.

- Stop fighting. - What are you saying?

Come here.

Move.

I don't want to argue with you.

You're being so unreasonable.

Alright.

Make yourself clear.

Yulan, stop.

We're not done.

Let's just stop.

What?

Don't cast pearls before swine.

Cast pearls before swine.

What?

You're a swine.

Zhu Dali.

- Alright. - Don't stop me.

Stop fighting.

We'll see in court.

Sure.

Alright, let's take Ke and go.

- Let's go. - Go.

Ke?

Ke?

(Moli, how come you're here?)

Jiang Haitao, I came to see you today on business.

Then take a seat.

No need.

Just a couple of words, and then I'll leave.

Thank you for the public account.

I asked about your firm's rates.

Here's the lawyer's fee.

Moli, we're old acquaintances.

Don't be that polite.

Mr. Yan is a contracted painter for our gallery.

Although he is your friend,

this is business.

If it makes you feel better...

(Mom)

Excuse me, I need to take this call.

Mom.

Ke is missing?

Mom, what's the matter?

Miss, please help me.

Don't go inside there.

She's not there.

They sell snacks.

I didn't expect my parents would go pick up Ke.

Where can we go look for her now?

Don't worry.

Near the kindergarten.

Go search all the places Ke has been to.

Go to Little Sun Kindergarten.

Okay.

There's a crowd over there.

Ke.

If the child is lost, I'll fight them.

What's wrong?

I'm okay.

You take it easy.

Y-You'd take it easy.

I'm okay.

Ke.

It's all your fault.

What?

You argued with them,

and now the child is gone.

Guo.

How did it feel when your parents got divorced?

Feels like not having a dad.

It just feels like not having a dad.

But I don't like my dad.

But I like my dad.

And I like my mom too.

What should I do?

I don't know.

I just know I can only choose one.

I don't want to choose at all.

Ke!

Ke!

Ke!

Ke!

Ke.

Ke.

Ke.

What's wrong? Let me take a look.

Ke.

Don't be afraid. I'm here.

Don't help her up.

Get up slowly. Take it easy.

Where are you hurt?

Tell me where it hurts, Ke.

I will take off your backpack.

Take it easy.

Take it easy.

I'm fine. Off you go.

I'm here. Don't be afraid.

Come on, let me see.

Let me check the arm.

Jiang Haitao, are you alright?

I'm okay. Not a big deal.

How is Ke doing?

Don't worry.

Don't worry.

Take a look.

Does it hurt? Tell me if it hurts.

- It hurts. - It hurts?

Gao Xiajing, how come Ke is here?

Did you pick her up from the kindergarten?

No.

When I went home,

I saw Ke walking alone on the street.

I found it strange,

so I asked her.

She said she wanted to go home by herself,

so I just picked her up on the way.

Ke, tell me

if what she said is true.

Yes.

Ke said she wanted to wait for dad downstairs,

so I let Guo play with her for a while

and went upstairs to get some food.

And all this happened in such a short time.

I am really sorry.

No, it's not your fault.

I should thank you.

My wife was too anxious,

so she was a bit...

Don't take it personally.

It's okay. I can understand.

Guo, let's go home.

Goodbye, Ke.

Are you alright?

Ke, let me see.

Don't cry.

Moli.

I might have been a bit rough just now,

Ke took a hard fall.

You should take her to the hospital to get checked.

Okay.

Jiang Haitao, is your hand okay?

I'm okay.

I'm leaving then.

Thank you.

Baby, eat something.

Ke, here.

Are you tired from running?

Have some water. Open your mouth.

Gu Demao.

I'm not done with you.

Alright, enough.

Let me tell you, we found the child today.

If we hadn't found her, I wouldn't let you go.

Enough. Can't you stop?

It's the hospital.

Ke, does it still hurt?

Come to me.

Stop.

Is it better?

Mom, I'm sorry.

I didn't do it on purpose.

I didn't want to hear my grandparents fighting,

so I went back by myself.

You don't need to say sorry.

It's all my fault.

How is it?

The doctor said she's fine.

Ke just got scared.

Some rest will do.

Did you really get divorced?

If you get divorced, will you still love me?

Ke.

You're still too young

to know such things.

When you're older,

we will explain it to you, okay?

Did you get divorced because of me?

It's my fault, Ke.

Remember.

No matter what happens,

Mom and Dad will always love you, okay?

Come here, Ke.

Come to me.

(Zhu Dali has arrived.)

(The unexpected things follow one after another.)

(Ke knows about the divorce.)

(Then Ke got lost)

(and saved by Jiang Haitao.)

(For the first time I realized)

(divorce might be a wrong choice.)

All the children form a circle,

dancing happily in the spring breeze.

Especially Qiqi.

Her white cotton dress flutters and shimmers,

becoming the most beautiful scene of the spring.

Mom.

Can I send a WeChat message to Ke?

I am so worried about her.

Guo, don't worry.

Ke has her dad and mom with her.

Let's not disturb her today, okay?

But she cried so hard today.

Come on, speak.

Ke, how are you?

Mom and I are very worried about you.

Alright, lie down.

(Ke's Dad) (Ke is fine.)

(Thanks for Guo and Guo's mom's concern.)

(I'm really sorry about today.)

See. Ke's dad has replied.

He said Ke is fine. Don't worry.

Alright.

It's nothing.

How are you guys doing now?

Are you home?

Mr. Jiang, you want me?

Sit.

You haven't been doing well lately.

I'm okay.

What about going to Jinshan?

I think Jinshan is too far from home.

I knew it.

But someone has to take the lead.

It's an opportunity.

If you achieve something,

you can be transferred back and promoted in several years.

Although conditions there are tough,

you can get an extra subsidy of 8,000 a month.

I'm thinking of your best interest.

If you don't get promoted at your age,

you'll have to make way for the younger ones.

The company is assigning you to work in Jinshan,

and you can only come home once a week?

Well...

This is so sudden.

Son, can you not go?

If you go, it's just me and your dad.

Mom, that's just how our industry is now.

We have to do it this way.

I'm already in my thirties.

If I can't get promoted,

and don't fight for more,

the newcomers will take my place

and I don't stand any chance at all.

That's the fact.

So what should I do?

What do you mean?

Jincao, I support you.

Don't listen to your mom.

Your mom is busy in the kitchen all day long.

She doesn't know anything.

Many Internet executives are being laid off.

You are right about that.

Besides,

now this divorce isn't such a bad thing.

First of all, there's no one holding you back.

Let your mom take care of Ke.

You just go to Jinshan

and fight for your career.

A man is nothing without a career.

A good man can succeed everywhere.

So I thought,

when I go to Jinshan,

I couldn't take care of the family,

leaving my mother alone in Shanghai with Ke.

Maybe...

I get it.

He's an ungrateful soul.

I got him the house.

Now he wants to drive me away, right?

Come on.

He's doing it for you and the family.

The cost of living is so high in Shanghai.

It'd save more money with you gone.

Like mother, like son.

Wang Lingxiao?

I asked you to come here today because I wanted to know

what kind of person Wang Lingxiao is.

Let me tell you.

This cousin of Jincao's is truly a wacko.

He claims to be a celibatarian.

That is, no marriage, no buying houses,

no kids, and no savings.

Sounds like

he wants to live in the moment.

But in reality, he is a financial analyst,

earning much more than Jincao.

What?

It must be the case of extremes meeting.

His parents sold the house

when he went study abroad.

After he finished his studies and returned home,

his parents urged him to get married, buy a house, and have children.

He sent money home because he's afraid

his parents weren't doing well.

And his mom didn't spend the money.

His family had several arguments about it.

So Wang Lingxiao just let things slide,

saying he wouldn't get married, have children, or buy a house.

He lives in the moment.

What's more?

Hold on.

Do you like Wang Lingxiao?

Is that okay?

Are you alright? Didn't you hear me?

He's a celibatarian.

What are you thinking?

I want to give it a try.

You want to challenge yourself?

Does he like women?

What? He likes women.

But for all these years,

he has never had a girlfriend.

It's hard to believe.

Did he tell you he's never had one?

No.

I heard from Jincao that he had one.

When he took the girl back to his hometown,

standing in front of his old house,

the girl cursed outright.

She didn't even go inside and just went back.

So he wasn't clear with this girl

about his family?

He did.

But she didn't believe it.

She believed he was born with a silver spoon

and was testing her.

I see.

Once bitten, twice shy.

He was scared off by a bad girl.

Hello, honey.

Okay, I'll be right there.

I'm leaving.

Where are you going?

Jincao wants me.

Hold on.

I haven't finished.

Once your ex calls, you run.

It is really urgent.

I have to warn you.

Be careful of Wang Lingxiao.

Gu Moli.

Putting love before friendship.

We already have to be sneaking around

when we meet.

You're about to leave, and it's so far away.

I don't agree with you going to Jinshan.

Can't you let someone else go?

I've been thinking about this very clearly.

To get our family on its own fast

and live comfortably,

we must buy our own house as soon as possible.

Buying a house without asking for help.

We can only make money,

more money.

Although Jinshan is far away,

I can get extra 8,000 a month in salary and benefits.

That's a lot of money.

Most importantly,

if I work hard in Jinshan,

I would get promoted faster.

When I transfer back to headquarters once I get promoted,

I'll get a big raise.

Even though Jinshan is a bit far from you,

it brings us closer to our goal.

I've got it all figured out.

When I get a bigger house

the first thing I'll do is remarry you.

What about these few years?

I can just wait for you?

What do you mean?

You know,

we can be flexible.

Whenever I find the time,

I will come back to see you.

If you miss me,

you can come to Jinshan.

It's so far away.

With none of our parents around,

we can just be carefree

and do whatever we want.

The most important thing is we won't need to book a room.

Think of it from a positive side.

It's not that bad.

And it saves money.

What a silly excuse.

Alright, I agree.

I've been really stressed out lately.

I need to grab some sleep.

There's still an hour and a half left.

Hurry up and rest.

(Did she just have dinner here with a man?)

(Yes, they just left.)

By the way, that lady left something in the room.

I wonder if you need to take it back to her.

Room? Which room?

The one you used to stay in.

(1010.)

(Your daughter damaged an expensive painting in our gallery.)

(And yet, Gu Moli managed to sell it.)

(Wait. Who's the one you mentioned?)

(Jiang Haitao.)

Two people who love each other must keep pace.

Keep pace and keep harmonious.

It sounds simple,

but it's actually difficult.

Work, life, location, and object

can cause gap between two people.

Eventually, the physical gap becomes the psychological gap.

When two people experience a psychological gap,

they feel they're not getting paid for their efforts,

and love gradually fades.

Love is not like flying a kite.

Once you fly one, you need to worry about the weather.

Who says distance isn't a problem?

Distance is a problem.

(The Gap Between Two People)

Wipe your eyes. Don't bite.

Don't bite. I am just wiping your eyes.

Wipe your eyes.

Clean them.

What are you doing in the morning?

Okay, stop. I'm done.

Where did you get this cat?

Look, is it cute?

I picked it up in the community.

Ke said she wants a pet.

So I picked up a cat for Ke.

You'd get whatever Ke wants?

A stray cat?

Does it have any bacteria?

She might get an infectious disease from a scratch.

What are you thinking?

Look, I've bathed it.

Besides, I'll take it for vaccination today.

The neighbor even gave me a cage.

No need. Don't bother.

Just take it back to where you found it.

To where?

It's a stray cat.

It would starve to death

if we don't keep it.

What if it has any diseases

since it's a stray cat?

Just send it away.

We are going to get vaccinated...

- Alright. - Get vaccinated...

Mom. Hold the cat.

I'll take a picture of it.

Come on, look this way.

Pretty good.

Mom, we're not keeping this cat.

I'll put it in the cage.

Wait.

Son, where are you taking it?

Don't worry. Leave it to me.

You can't let Ke touch it.

You are really something.

You don't even allow me to keep a cat for Ke.

If you don't allow me to keep a cat,

I'll pick up a dog next time.

It's a small place.

Keeping cats and dogs.

You might as well keep a cow.

(Moments) (A cat, looking for adoption.)
