[Episode 12]

- Feels amazing! - Woo!

Bro, sing me a song!

What do you want to hear?

- Heavy metal! - Who do you think I am? Timmy Xu?

Come on! Just a few lines!

What's so nice about his music? I'll sing something that'll get your energy pumping!

Go on!

Here I go!

♫ A long sword pierces the sky ♫

♫ Reflecting our robust bodies ♫

♫ Ambitious and valiant warriors Ambitious and valiant warriors ♫

Look! A rainbow!

Here, try this.

Take one.

Why did you join the army?

I wanted my family to lead a better life.

My dad wasn't educated, and his family was poor.

He only got married in his thirties.

My mom had poor health too.

She gave birth to my sister in her forties.

Not long after my sister was born, my mom passed away.

I only finished junior high school.

After that, I joined the army.

At first, I only wanted to earn some money.

When I was in the army, I underwent training.

I gained some comrades.

Only then did I grew attached to my unit.

I bet you were reluctant to leave.

Enough about me. How about you?

You were served like a prince ever since you were a kid, weren't you?

That's not true!

When my grandpa was still alive, we stayed in the same house.

I had so many grandmas at home.

Their generation was just like that.

We lived under the same roof,

but there were no conflicts and plotting like in television dramas.

My family was very harmonious.

In fact, my childhood was just like yours with just a few more chauffeurs and nannies.

My first memories were of my dad buying me limited edition toy cars and remote-controlled planes.

He even bought video games that had yet to be on the market.

I played with all kinds of random stuff as a kid.

Rolling hoops, grabbing the monkey's stick,

ice monkey, and marbles.

Oh, I also ate loads of northeastern delicacies.

Frozen persimmons, frozen pears,

and gummies that were ¥1 for two pieces.

There were also stuffed dumplings and fried sweet and sour pork.

- Braised pork with vermicelli, too. - Sounds delicious.

I'll take you to my hometown if there's a chance.

We'll sit on a heated floor and feast on authentic northeastern food.

Cheers.

Give me another skewer.

It's already so late!

Come on, stop fooling around.

We have to hurry or else we won't make it back by midnight.

Get moving.

Here.

- It's fine. I'm not cold. - It'll be cold when we head back to the city.

Let's go.

Feeling cold?

If you are, I'll drive slower.

You can't go any slower!

If you do, we'll have to spend the night on the streets.

Do you feel cold?

No, I don't!

Crap, why did the sky suddenly turn gloomy?

Hey, speed up!

You have to ride faster than those clouds!

You can continue dreaming.

We're on a provincial highway.

The roads aren't great, and there are many cars now.

If I speed up, this joyride will become a suicide attempt!

- Why aren't you putting on one? - It's pouring.

It's easy to get into an accident on the road.

Don't be stubborn. Let's leave when the rain lightens up.

- Must we leave? - Yes, we must leave.

Fine, you drive.

That's no big deal.

Don't be scared.

It's fine. I'm not cold.

It'll be cold when we head back to the city.

Tired? I'll drive.

Tell me what you're craving. I'll make it appear.

Why don't you make an acorn pastry puff appear?

My goodness.

I want a tray of steamed buns. Freshly made ones.

You really want to burn me, don't you?

It's pouring.

It's easy to get into an accident on the road.

Don't be stubborn. Let's leave when the rain lightens up.

- Must we leave? - Yes, we must leave.

Why does he feel colder now than he was before?

Let's stop!

- Do you still have rooms available? - We only have a single room left.

Hey, sir. Don't go.

It'll be hard to get rooms in this pouring rain.

We're the only hotel left with an available room.

This area isn't huge, but it's still a tourist spot.

Rooms are fully booked at this time every year.

If you don't get this room,

it'll be hard for you to find another one in this rain shower.

Someone else will book this room in no time.

It's hard to get rooms on rainy days.

Hey. How about we get through one night here?

Madam, do you still have rooms?

Yes, we have one single room.

- Let's share a room. - Okay.

- Can you show me your identity cards? - Okay.

We're both guys. What's there to fear?

It'll be hard to find another place in this thunderstorm.

Give me a minute. Let me check if these two want the room.

Okay.

What do you think?

These two aren't even a couple, but they're willing to share a room.

Both of you are guys. Why are you so reluctant?

- How much is it? - ¥300.

Excuse me, are they taking the last room?

Yes, I'm really sorry.

- It's fine. - All right.

- We'll take this room. - Okay. Can I see your identity card?

Here are your room key and identity card.

What if after everything I still can't accept your sister?

Will you still treat me the same way?

Will you take me out to have fun and cook nice food for me?

Will you... treat me so well?

Are you scared?

Scared? Of what?

Scared that I'll stop treating you like this.

My parents are the only ones who've been so nice to me all my life.

But I won't make compromises just because of this.

My sister isn't the only reason I treat you well.

What other reasons do you have?

I'll tell you about it... in the future.

Coming!

Aunty.

Aren't you Dayu? I haven't seen you in years!

You still look the same after so many years.

- What a sweet talker. Come on in. - Okay.

It's been so many years since I last saw you.

Exactly, Aunty.

- Do you want a drink or milk? - I'm fine with anything!

- Okay, have a seat. - Okay.

- Dayu! - Yes, Aunty?

Here, have some milk.

Okay.

Aunty, isn't Xia Yao at home?

He went out early yesterday morning.

He said he was going on a drive with a friend.

I didn't ask about their destination.

This kid is grown up now.

If I pry too much, he'll find me annoying.

Make yourself at home! I'll get you something yummy!

He made up an excuse about resting to reject me and went out with someone else.

Doubled? You'll have to drink more!

Can you still drink?

You two are such downers! Leave me be!

Come on, let's continue.

Two threes.

- All right! Drink up! - Bottoms up!

It's doubled! Drink more!

Drink!

I'll have to carry you home on my back today! Want to have a drink with us?

Sure.

Fill his glass.

My luck sucks today.

Pour more.

Let's down our drinks together! Cheers!

Come on!

Drink up!

He only has one card left.

Just one card. Well, play it.

I'll go easy on you.

Nice.

King. See that?

Drink up!

Drink!

All right, another doubled game.

- Let's all drink up! - Oh, you're drinking so fast.

- Gosh. - Cheers!

Come on, join us.

- Sure. Come on. - Let's drink up.

Cheers!
