IF I CAN DO OVER, I'LL TAKE MEMORIES AS DUST.

TIGER HUANG, "REPEAT"

Slowly.

Take a seat.

I'll get the medicine.

Lan Tianye, it's cold and gloomy in your house.

How desolate.

I just got back a while ago. I haven't had the time to clean up.

Besides, I'm so busy with work.

I'm only here to sleep.

But it's your home after all.

It should be more like a home.

Is there no one to look after you?

How do I untie it?

Let me do it.

-It might be a little painful. -How painful is that?

How is that "a little painful"?

Answer it. It can distract you.

-Hello? -Hello?

Cancan.

Hello, Meili.

What's the matter? Did you fight with Tang Xingyi again?

Don't mention him. I'm watching a Korean drama.

It's so touching.

Don't move around.

What's that sound?

Nothing, I kicked the couch.

You must watch this Korean drama. It's so heartbreaking.

I'll send death threats to the scriptwriter.

Cancan, were you screaming?

Who are you with?

Meili, I have something to do. That's all for now. Bye.

Hey!

Hang in there.

It's done.

Tianye, I saw albums on your bookshelf. So I took them to have a look.

It's fine.

It's a home-cooked meal. Please bear with me if it tastes awful.

You cooked for yourself in the US too?

Good thing I cooked since high school.

So I didn't get all flustered when I was living abroad.

There are not many restaurants abroad, and they are expensive.

On top of that, I couldn't buy the ingredients needed at the store.

So I made do with it.

Is he your friend?

I saw many photos of him in your albums.

He was my roommate, and he's also from China.

He's now working in Silicon Valley.

I remember when we just arrived in the US.

We went to New York to have fun.

When we were hungry at noon,

we went to eat in Chinatown.

At that time, we ordered from the Chinese menu.

Halfway through, we found out there was a menu in English.

Two menus?

All the dishes on the Chinese menu are huge and expensive.

Braised beef brisket stew, stewed seafood in clay pot, and others of that like.

On the English menu, it's all cheap dishes like donburi.

Such a tourist trap.

I used to think things are better abroad.

But actually, it's colder and lonelier.

Tianye.

Put it on the plate. I'll eat it later.

I don't know any of them.

Eat up. The porridge is getting cold.

Let me help you to the bedroom.

No need.

I'd like to sleep here.

I want to sleep on the couch.

Hurry up.

I'm serious.

How can I let a girl sleep on the couch?

I have caused you enough trouble.

I'm not sleeping on the bed.

I'd like to sleep on the couch.

I've changed the bedsheet for you.

If you're tired, I can help you.

They ran into each other again.

It only exists in dramas.

New York is so big.

It's too hard to run into anyone.

I went to the US for a business trip a while ago.

I dropped by New York.

Many places have changed.

I went to the US some time ago as well.

When?

On July 8 in San Francisco.

I was also there that day.

I want a matcha cheesecake. What about you?

A cup of coffee.

Tao Yating, come on.

We're hanging out and you're working.

Ignore her. She is as busy as a bee.

It's either a meeting or a court session.

It's good enough that she can come out.

It's the weekend. Lawyers are scary.

There are no weekends for lawyers.

If you don't believe me, she'll receive a call soon.

Hello?

All right. Please hold on. I will send it to you later.

It's not too bad this month. I only got two cases.

Actually, it's nothing much.

Cancan, what would you like to drink?

I'll have milk tea.

Hong Kong-style or boba? Just go with boba then.

It doesn't matter.

Waiter!

-Is that all? -Yes.

All right. Please hold on.

Cancan, did you ask us here because you have an announcement to make?

What is it?

Of course the good news with Lin Jiaze.

Come clean with us.

Did he confess to you?

No.

No? What were you doing last night?

-Last night? -That's right.

I called her last night. I said, "Cancan" and she went, "Ouch!"

Don't talk nonsense.

So this is the reason you asked us out?

Cancan's laptop.

Hello?

All right. I got it.

So Lin Jiaze confessed to you?

And Lan Tianye told you that you still hold a place in his heart,

and he wants to get back together?

So you're stuck between Lin Jiaze and Lan Tianye,

and you don't know who to choose?

Well, what do you think?

I don't know.

I just think it's too sudden.

I'm not ready yet.

I don't know how to face Lan Tianye.

I don't know if I would regret it

if I let him slip away.

I don't know if we get together,

will our ending be the same as before?

According to a scientist's statistics,

90 percent of couples who broke up and made up will break up again.

Which scientist is that?

It doesn't matter.

It has a proven scientific basis.

Cancan, Lan Tianye still holds a place in your heart, right?

Since he still holds a place in your heart,

why don't you be brave and try it out?

I don't know.

It's not necessarily a bad thing to give it a try.

That's one for the books!

Weren't you strongly against it?

Perhaps, you'll get a clear picture after you try it out

that you're not meant for each other.

Why did you say that?

I've been with Tang Xingyi for so many years.

I only find out after we moved in together

that a lot of things are different from what I imagined.

For instance?

For instance,

you'll know after you try it.

So are you and Tang Xingyi a perfect match?

I guess.

It's getting better.

Meili, for god's sake, you're displaying public affection with me.

I really think you should seriously consider Lin Jiaze.

After all, he has been waiting for you for so long.

As compared to Lan Tianye who suddenly shows up,

Lin Jiaze's love for you is more precious.

If Cancan had that intention,

they would have been together three years ago.

It's still not too late now.

Jiaze has waited for her for so many years.

True love does not wait.

In my opinion,

women should choose the one who loves her more.

Then, she'll be happier.

Love requires affection.

But it takes tolerance to stay together.

Su Cancan.

I like you.

Yating.

Why haven't I seen you here before?

I got off work early today.

I was going to take a taxi home.

I saw you at the traffic lights.

I haven't taken the bus for a long time anyway.

What an honor.

I just met Cancan and Meili this afternoon.

And I ran into you now.

How's Cancan doing recently?

Not bad.

Things are pretty good at work for her.

Her company has a collaboration with DOS Records.

-DOS Records? -Yes.

Destiny is a funny thing.

After all that has happened all these years, Cancan and Tianye

still got back together.

Really?

Yes, Cancan.

Lan Tianye, are you at home? Is my laptop at your place?

Yes, I forgot to tell you.

Do you have time now? I'll come over to get it.

-Where are you? -I'm preparing to leave home.

Wait there. I'll pick you up.

-No need, I-- -I'm leaving the office.

It's on my way home.

Your address?

Youzhu, Building Number 5, Number 102.

Wait for me downstairs in ten minutes.

Thank you.

What's the matter?

I'm screwed. The writer ran away.

Calm down. What else do you need?

An introduction to digital music websites.

-How many layouts? -One and a half.

My master's thesis defense is related to digital music.

I'll sort out the data, and you set the outline.

Let's work on it together.

Why are you staring blankly?

Trust me.

Are you hungry?

What do you want to eat?

Do you have instant noodles?

Yes, what flavor do you want?

Braised flavor.

Wait for me.

I'm here to check if there's anything I can help with.

-There is. -What is it?

Wash your hands first.

What do I need to do?

Wait to eat.

-Is it delicious? -Yes.

Do you want more?

I've prepared the data.

Send it to me then.

Shit.

YOUR MAIL HAS BEEN SENT

You're awake.

I used the ingredients in the fridge to prepare this.

Cancan.

Thank you.

I should be the one to thank you.

Cancan, how was it?

Has the chief editor seen it? Will it be printed?

Thank goodness.

Good news!

I just walked by the office.

Guess what I heard.

-What? -What?

The chief editor said that he likes our column very much.

He said after this issue is published, he'll treat us to coffee.

-Really? -Yes.

Hello, Meili?

Hello, Cancan.

Do you often eat crabs at home?

That's right. My dad loves it.

So should I just put them in the pot and steam them?

The crabs...

Hey, what if the crab crawls out?

Why would it crawl out?

Could you have untied the rope?

Meili, don't you hate crabs?

Tang Xingyi likes it.

That's all for now.

I'm going to tie the crabs.

Tang Xingyi has been busy at work.

Let me do it then.

It has been 45 minutes. The crabs.

Cancan.

Are you calling me?

Sorry, I got the wrong person.

Meili, I'm back.

You're back?

I made you crabs.

Meili.

Let's get married.

What did you say?

Let's get married.

-Hi, have you made a reservation? -My friend is waiting inside.

This way, please.

Hi sir, what would you like to order?

See what would you like to have.

I'll have a black pepper steak.

Two black pepper steaks, please.

-All right, sir. A moment, please. -Thank you.

It sounds so familiar. Is that "Cloudy Day"?

Is there always a flaw In the adults' world?

I miss the pure Wonderful happiness of the past

Am I out of tune again?

Do you still remember the school anniversary?

You always got cold feet.

But it wasn't that bad, right?

Fortunately, Lan Tianye led me in singing.

How did you come across this place?

I came here with my colleagues. Do you like it?

Yes, it's not bad.

If you like it, we can come here often.

Jiaze.

I might be very busy after this.

I won't have time to come out often to eat.

You have no time to eat

or you have no time to eat with me?

-Jiaze. -Cancan, wait a moment.

-Hi, may I borrow the piano? -Sure.

Thank you.

I haven't played for a long time. I hope you won't mind.

Do you remember the first time we met?

You and Tianye were caught by the bushes.

You tried so hard to cover your face, and didn't want others to see you.

After that, you confessed to Tianye in public.

During academic streaming,

you ran to me to ask about Tianye's choice.

I always thought that the one you liked was Tianye.

Why did you bring this up now?

After that, I found out that we listened to the same song

and read the same book.

I don't know how many times we brushed past one another.

Until I saw that love letter.

I thought I still had a chance.

Actually,

I've let you slip away at that moment.

When I found out that you were someone else's girlfriend,

I wish I had a time machine,

so that we can return to the past.

To the time when we first met.

I would surely not let you slip away.

Since I can't go back to the past,

I have to accept the reality,

my fate,

and accept

my own choice.

Jiaze.

Cancan, I hope you can be happy.

When you feel lonely, sad, and helpless,

at least, this gift

can keep you company in my stead.

We will

and can only be good friends for a lifetime.

Please accept this gift.

Take it as

something to make up for my regret over a missed opportunity.

Thank you, Jiaze.

But I can't accept this gift.

It should belong to the girl who's going to spend a lifetime with you.

I hope you can find your happiness soon.

Jay Chou's concert tour has begun.

And it will be held in the city next weekend.

Hi, Meili.

Cancan, what are you doing?

I'm writing lyrics.

Jay Chou is going to hold the concert here.

Jay Chou's concert? Really?

Let's go! We must go!

Send me the website. I'll get the tickets now. I'm hanging up.

LAN TIANYE IMAGE

JAY CHOU'S WORLD TOUR

DO YOU WANT TO GO?

Meili.

What should I wear for the concert?

Just wear anything, you're not going on stage.

You must go with me this time.

You've missed it twice already.

What do you mean by that?

You don't want to go with me?

Something is wrong.

Well...

Lan Tianye asked me to go with him.

He wants to pursue you?

I guess.

So do you plan to get back together with him?

I don't know either.

I think we've been apart for too long.

Are you scared?

Honestly, up until now, I don't know what's so good about him.

But your heart wouldn't lie to you.

So just follow your heart.

Meili.

What's going on with you?

You seem to have a lot of reflections about life recently.

Tang Xingyi has proposed to me.

Really?

-I want to be the maid of honor. -That's for sure.

But I can't sleep well recently.

I keep thinking about the date, the guests,

and the style of my wedding dress.

Don't laugh at me.

I even thought of the baby names.

Really?

-You're thinking so far ahead. -Not at all.

How about wearing the school uniform to the concert?

It's youthful and energetic. I can also pretend to be younger.

I'll tell Lan Tianye about it.

Tianye!

Tianye, what happened to you?

I'm fine. My stomachache is back.

I'll be fine after taking the medicine.

You're sweating all over. Let me take you to the hospital.
