What are you doing?

Ma Yueyue's father?

Get in the car.

Our kids have been kidnapped, we need to talk.

Did they ask you for ¥2 million?

Yes.

They asked the same from us.

Do you have the money?

I'm asking you if you have the money!

Yes.

- Yes. - How much?

You have that much money?

Do you have more?

Do you have more?

No.

Let's go.

Maybe we can raise some money.

If you have the money, go pay!

Anyway, I don't have so much money.

But they told us

if we call the police, they will kill our kids.

They will be in danger.

Are you an idiot?

If they plan to kill our kids, they'll do that anyway.

They'll get the money and screw us over.

We can't call the police! Our kids must be kept safe!

Get in the car!

Call the police.

No.

No, don't do that.

Don't do it!

L-Let's raise some money first.

We can try to raise money!

- Are you getting in? - That will buy us some time.

Don't call the police or Shui Qing will be killed.

Shui Qing will be killed.

Shui Hao!

Shui Hao!

Listen to me! We must not call the police!

Their safety is most important now! Calling the police will kill Shui Qing!

You can't leave! Don't go anywhere!

Listen…

Shui Hao!

Don't you understand?

Don't you understand me?

Stop the car!

Stop!

Don't leave!

Are you getting in the car or not?

You guys…

Hey…

You guys…

Fine, I'll get in.

- I'll answer it for you. - Leave it.

What's up?

I am at the police station. Don't call me again.

Qu Ting! When did you come back?

It's me, Liu Bilong from No.17 Middle School.

We need to make a police report.

We want to make a report. Our children have been kidnapped.

They called us and asked for ¥2 million.

My daughter's name is Ma Yueyue. She's an obedient girl.

Her cell phone is off, and I can't contact her.

It's okay. Don't worry.

- Let's talk inside. - Okay.

What the hell do you want?

I told you I'm at the police station. Stop calling me.

Shui Qing is back home?

My daughter came home.

- How about Ma Yueyue? - Ask her where her classmate is.

She went to Chengdu to hang out with her friends.

Are you sure she's home?

Yes, she is back.

- Are you sure? - Yes. - She went to Chengdu.

Ask her to come here. We need to ask her some questions.

No problem.

Tell her to come to Daokou Police Station.

Now that the kids are back, do you want to cancel the report?

Yes.

We've had many similar situations before.

I wanted to say there's no need to panic. This is probably just a prank.

Why didn't she tell me that she went to Chengdu?

They are safe. Relax.

Mr. Ma.

Mr. Ma!

- Mr. Ma! - Xiao Dai?

Mr. Ma!

Xiao Dai?

Mr. Ma!

Mr. Ma!

There is medicine in his pocket.

- Does he have medicine? - Yes.

Mr. Ma, come on. Take this.

- Do we need to call an ambulance? - Mr. Ma?

- Mr. Ma? - It's all right.

The kids are safe. She went to Chengdu to have fun.

Now that your daughter is back, don't scold or beat her when she's home.

- You need to control your temper. - Everything is fine.

Don't worry.

Why are you eating mango here? You're on duty.

I haven't had dinner yet.

This mango is delicious. I don't want to waste it.

Fine, I'll stop.

I won't eat.

Yes, our mangoes are the best.

- Those elsewhere can't compete. - Exactly.

We're sending out mangoes today.

Here, let me get two boxes for you.

- No, it's fine. - Let me get you some.

- There's no need. - Just two boxes!

- I said it's fine. - You don't have to be so polite.

There's no need.

We're old classmates. You can just take some.

I already said no!

What's wrong with you?

- Are you crazy? - It's all right.

- Sorry. - Don't worry about it.

Let me do it.

What the heck is wrong with you?

- Sorry. - It's fine, don't worry.

Let me do it.

It's all my fault.

Don't worry. It's just some mangoes.

Shui Qing…

Shui Qing…

She doesn't know a thing.

If she comes here later,

y-you guys…

p-please don't scare her.

Step away now!

Stand with him!

Stand over there!

Xiao Dai, Xiao Wu!

Call an ambulance quickly.

She's still breathing.

[The Old Town Girls]

It's lit!

It's falling into the river.

Should we make a wish?

- Why make a wish when it's falling? - Make a wish. Come on.

We can still make wishes before it falls into the river.

It'll be pretty nice if our wishes sink to the riverbed.

They'll be like drifting bottles.

Look, I said it wouldn't sink.

That's my wish, okay?

You girls!

Don't play here!

Stop!

Stand still!

Don't move!

Big sister.

Big Sister, why are you back so early?

Go back in. Come on, get in the house.

Shui Qing, can you take a walk around and come back later?

My parents are here, and my family hasn't eaten together for a long time.

Don't think too much of it.

My parents just don't want to see unfamiliar faces.

- Come on, go back in. - Can I use the bathroom?

Let's meet on Sunday.

You, me, and Shuiqing.

Let's have dinner together.

Don't worry about it.

Are you afraid of meeting her?

She's your daughter.

Okay, I'll call you then.

Where are you going?

Is my mom back?

Bullshit. If she dares to come back, I'll slap her face into the wall.

Why doesn't she want to see me?

I was just calling my colleagues in the factory. What's your problem?

Please, tell her not to worry.

Don't talk nonsense inside the house.

What's up now?

Your mother-in-law is here.

[I'm Shui Qing. Here's my number.]

Can I have some pickles?

Okay, right away.

Here are your pickles.

[Mutton Rice Noodles] [Tea Eggs]

That guy last night was really cute.

I knew he was your type.

- Hurry up, there are seats. - He isn't my cup of tea.

- We know you well enough. - Four bowls of mutton rice noodles!

Can I have a light?

Want a smoke?

I can't smoke.

Stop fooling around. You'll scare the kid.

You're always messing around.

Go to school.

[I'm Shui Qing. Here's my number.]

[Hello, I'm Shui Qing. Are you Qu Ting?]

[Don't worry, I just want to treat you to a meal.]

[I won't bother you after that.]

What's the problem?

We want to change the choreography.

The one you created is too difficult for a group dance.

Actually, you can have a solo during the performance.

A solo?

Solo, your ass.

Jin Xi!

Jin Xi!

Hurry up. Stop packing.

Give me another one.

You're so stingy.

I'm leaving.

Didn't you want to treat me to a meal?

Fasten your seat belt.

I recognized you at the rice noodles place.

Did you?

This road is the only way to Miyi.

Have you ever been to Miyi?

No.

I'll take you there one day. That's your grandmother's hometown.

There is a tunnel in Miyi connecting the new town and the old town.

If you're lucky,

once you exit the tunnel, you'll revisit the most precious moment of your life.

You know about that?

How do you know? That's what we used to say in school.

I haven't been back for a long time.

I'm not in a hurry to go home.

I can spend time with you.

It looks just as I remembered.

Hasn't the factory been shut down? Why is there smoke?

Not yet.

My dad still works in the factory.

That's true.

You're okay with heading back alone, right?

Bye-bye.

Wait a minute.

I…

This is my best picture.

I promised I wouldn't bother you.

Do you… have something for me to remember you?

Like a hairpin?

Close the door.

This place is the theater of a troupe.

Look, there are costumes here.

Is it safe to live here?

My friend runs this place.

They aren't using it for performances at the moment.

The first time I performed here, I was only a backup.

I didn't know what was going on.

Someone pushed me onto the swing in the chaos.

It was a dance drama.

I played a gypsy girl named Monica.

They dressed me in shiny clothes…

and covered my head with long feathers.

Was I born then?

You were just born. Probably two or three months old.

That play…

gave me a chance to dance again.

I really have nothing to give you.

We don't have to act like mother and daughter.

We can just get along as we are.

Hello? Can you hear me?

What about now? Can you hear me now?

Jin Xi.

I was having fun last night when you called, so I missed it.

Why are you doing this again?

Leave me alone.

You ignored me at the school gate yesterday.

Who was that?

My mom is back.

She gave me this.

How tacky! Who uses that today?

What does your mom do for a living?

She is a dancer.

So tacky! What kind of dance? Pole dancing?

Your mom abandoned you for so many years, but she's buying your heart with just a crappy phone case.

Don't be a pushover.

Don't be nice to her.

I'm talking to you.

Damn it.

- Smile, my daughter. - Nice.

My daughter, look this way.

Your facial expressions are so vivid.

Your smile is so lovely.

Look here, Yueyue.

The battery ran out.

I have to change it.

- I need some water. - Is this your classmate?

- Here, have some juice. - It's okay.

Don't worry, take it.

What are these pictures for?

We're shooting a real estate commercial.

We were going to hire a model,

but that's no necessary with Yueyue bring so pretty.

- I don't want this. - Have another sip.

- Good girl. - Let's take a few more pictures.

A few more.

Smile.

Shui Qing!

Your mom is calling for you.

What do you want?

Come in and take a seat.

Sit down.

Sit there.

I'm really tired today.

What's wrong?

I still can't stand up straight.

What happened?

The sewers were clogged.

Get your hair washed.

Come on.

It's fine. I can do it myself.

You have the longest hair at home.

Wash it here. Just do me a favor.

Cut her hair.

Sorry, I got the wrong room.

Xiao Ma, over here.

This way.

Come here.

Thanks for inviting me.

Take off your shoes.

- This is a Japanese place. - Sorry.

It's fine, come on.

Sit down.

Let's have a nice meal together.

Drink.

Yueyue wants to have Japanese food today.

It'll be my treat.

No way.

Just sit here.

We like Yueyue very much.

Xiao Ma, we like Yueyue from the bottom of our hearts.

I know.

Dad, don't drink with an empty stomach.

Look at our daughter.

Isn't she lovable?

Xiao Ma, you should ask Yueyue to move back.

She's taking the college entrance examinations this year. Your place isn't ideal.

The roof rattles when a car drives by.

She can have some peace at our place.

Drink.

Here's the thing.

For years, you've been taking care of Yueyue.

Now I'm back in town, it's inappropriate for her to live with you.

You're overthinking things. There's no need to feel indebted to us.

Xiao Ma, we don't have our own kids.

I said this before, we want to adopt Yueyue.

You agreed when you left town for work. Why are you changing your mind now?

It isn't right.

It isn't right.

My daughter, what do you think?

Xiao Ma, ever since you went to work in the factory, you've always been my apprentice.

Don't worry, we love Yueyue very much.

We're here to help, not to steal your daughter.

You'll always be her dad.

Don't worry.

What are you doing?

Shui Qing.

Does Shui Hao know you're here?

Let me help you with it.

There's no need.

So freaking annoying.

Let me do it.

What happened to you?

This is the state I'm in.

You must be well.

This hairpin looks familiar.

You're just like my mom, collecting my childhood stuff.

When I was a baby, you used this to coax me into sleeping.

When you were a baby?

I left before you were one year old.

It's true. I remember it very clearly.

That was probably in the evening.

The sunlight was streaming in from the windows onto the bed.

You asked Dad to sit next to me.

You said I would cry.

When he sat down, I played along with you and burst into tears.

I wouldn't have left if life was that blissful back then.

Don't you agree?

I'm going to cut it.

You're going pretty well now.

Why are you back here?

Why did you cut her hair so short?

What the hell are you doing?

Get down!

Get down now!

You even changed the box.

Did you keep this

because you knew I'd come back?

You have fleshy fingers.

This is something really worth keeping for memories.

Do you think I'm stupid?

Stop trying to fool me.

If you're having an affair, tell me immediately.

I don't want to live with you two anyway.

What the hell are you talking about?

I told you so many times, it was an investment.

Do you understand?

Dumb idiot.

Why did I marry you?

Our annual art festival is coming.

I've left Jin Xi and Ma Yueyue in charge of it.

Why aren't you making any progress?

I watched Class 3's dance yesterday.

They're almost done with their choreography.

I know you don't want to fall behind others.

But nobody wants to take responsibility for this.

We can even hire a professional dance teacher.

What do you think about it?

Good idea. Hire one.

Bai Haowen.

What's your opinion?

I don't understand.

And you, Shui Qing. Stand up.

You're graduating.

Don't you even want to get into a good college?

Teacher, Shui Qing's mother is a dancer.

Shui Qing, is your mother back home?

She might be busy.

Ask her first.

If she can't do it, we'll come up with something else.

You know that the market isn't looking good.

It's a buyer's market.

Everyone is selling their homes.

But you told me it would sell fast.

Yes, but it would only sell fast if you let it go below the market rate.

Listen, I need that money.

How about this? I'll give you my real estate certificate as a guarantee.

Can you pay me something upfront?

You're putting me in a tough spot.

You know it's an apartment allocated by your factory. Selling it will be quite tricky.

Please, understand this.

We're also selling some new apartments. Want to have a look?

Xiao Dong, get the documents out quickly for this lady.

Maybe you can consider leaving your real estate certificate here

as a down payment for a new apartment.

This is a great place.

What the hell do you want to ask?

Let me send you home.

I'm meeting some friends for business tonight.

What were you going to ask me in the car just now?

Could you please help us with our choreography at school?

I'm leaving in two days. You know this.

You can just come and have a look.

Two of my best friends fell out over the cheorography.

The troubles of young girls are such a relief to hear.

Jin Xi's parents are doing business in big cities.

They always leave her alone at home.

She used to pretend to be kidnapped as a kid.

Jin Xi is in a sad state, so I want to help her.

If it's just a dance,

I guess I can help.

Everybody come here! Come on!

All of you.

Come over here!

Come here!

Let me introduce to you.

This lady is a dance teacher to help with our cheorography.

She's also Shui Qing's mother.

Let's welcome her!

Good afternoon. Shi Yuyang from Class 2, Grade 3 has dedicated a song to everyone.

He wishes everyone good luck with the college entrance examinations. Work hand and live a brilliant life.

Life is so miserable. When will it ever be brilliant?

Damn it.

Read it for me.

Who wants to volunteer and dance with me as a partner?

- Help me out. - Why did she remove her shoes?

Xiao Bai.

How about me?

- What's your name? - My name is Bai Haowen.

Stretch. Extend your foot further.

Extend it a little more and imagine we're forming a herringbone.

- Okay? - Okay.

- Rest your weight on your partner. - Okay.

Lean on me and don't hold back. I want to feel your strength.

Do you want to try moving forward?

- Okay. - Come on.

Move.

Okay. Great.

Very good. A little more.

Turn around.

Kneel.

This is called teamwork.

This is collaboration.

What's going on?

You're in trouble again.

Jin Xi.

Feel your toes,

The back of your foot.

Your calves.

Close your eyes.

Breath gently.

Has anyone fallen asleep?

Are you going to the dance rehearsal?

Didn't you say you wouldn't go?

That's not it.

Shui Qing's mom is coming, so I want to find out what kind of woman she is.

Shui Qing is head over heels with her these days. I barely even meet her.

You have to feel like you're the king of the world.

You are the king.

The king is walking.

The queen is walking.

Run!

Stop!

Everybody knows how to walk.

But it takes a long time to figure out

how to control our muscles

and experience the rhythm when we walk.

Jin Xi, this is my mom.

You're Jin Xi?

All right, come over here.

This class was taught by a professional dancer from Czech Republic

when I took my first dancing class.

Today, I shared it with you. Hope you liked it.

Master!

Why are you here?

Yueyue isn't here.

She didn't come to the store.

Maybe she went out with her classmates for the weekend.

- Okay, thank you. - Wait a minute.

Yesterday, Old Zhao told me that you didn't go to work again.

It took so much to get you a job.

Stop messing around.

I-I had to pick her up and cook for her.

She needs nutrition.

Why don't you let Yueyue live with us?

We like her very much.

You can just focus on earning money.

When she goes to college,

you'll have to borrow money from us again.

Of course, we'll prepare the money for her.

- But it doesn't mean you don't need to work hard. - Thanks, Master. I'll head off.

Stop!

Did you hit Yueyue again? Are you sure you love her?

Your heart problem doesn't give you the right to screw around.

I know.

She has filial piety for you and treats you nicely, but look at yourself!

You don't know where to draw the line.

She's just a little girl. You can't treat her like this.

I took that picture down. Take it back and keep it safe.

Okay.

Thank you, Master.

It's okay.

Why won't you let me finish?

We'll do more for Yueyue.

It's not easy for him.

I was angry when I saw him like that.

I made a dance outfit with a feather duster and a bathing suit.

When I finished dancing, the audience's reaction was sensational.

Everyone came to the backstage to congratulate me.

After that, we became friends.

They took me to Shenzhen to perform.

Don't just talk about it. Do you have any pictures?

Of course, I'll show you.

It was gorgeous.

I want to see a feather-duster outfit.

This color is very rare.

Is this a feather duster?

Yes.

It's very rare.

It was gorgeous.

Yueyue studied dancing for a few years too.

Really?

- Did she? - Just a few years.

Hi.

- Who's it? - Her dad.

I'm coming back soon.

Don't go back. Hang up the phone.

Hang up the phone!

You're not going home. Do you hear me?

We'll be singing all night.

My family is worried about me.

What do you mean? Are you implying that no one worries about me?

Okay, I'm turning my phone off.

Yes!

Come on. Hurry up.

Come on.

- Cheers for Ma Yueyue shutting off her phone! - Cheers!

That's true. We should leave some words.

I'll go first.

Give her the spotlight!

I'll say…

I have a crush on Bai Haowen!

That's not right, Jin Xi.

You were the one who wrote the love confessions on the wall to Bai Haowen.

Let me clarify the rules.

Everyone can just leave a sentence behind.

No questions allowed, all right?

- Okay. - Okay my ass. It's your turn.

Auntie, I'll get off there.

Here. Thank you.

Is it okay to get off here?

It's okay, my house is just round the corner.

- Be careful. - Okay.

I'll get off here too.

I'll take a taxi home.

- Let me send you home. - Yeah.

It's fine, my home is too far away. You don't have to send me back.

Let them take you back.

- How can you get a taxi here? - Leave me be.

Hurry up and don't block the door.

Move it.

- Bye-bye. - We're off.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye!

Bye-bye!

It's raining.

Where do you live? Why are you getting off here?

I'm going get some food down by the bridge. I'm hungry.

Flag your taxi and get home.

I'll walk you there and buy a bottle of water.

Don't tell anyone what I said last night.

Do you hear me?

What are you looking at?

This person is a psycho, let's go!

Dad!

Dad, take it easy!

Is what you just said true?

Of course.

Wait for me for a while.

After I sort my things out, I'll buy a home.

We can run a dance school together.

Give it to me.

Who are you?

Why are you still so naïve?

You really ruin everything.

What are you doing?

Calm down, I know him. It's all right.

How about you head back first, okay?

Is she your daughter? Why not introduce her?

The car at the door is yours, right?

Your daughter is smart. I like her.

That's enough. Go home now.

Get going.

I won't go back.

You promised to let me stay here tonight.

Go home!

You said it was only one meal. Why are you bothering me every day?

I have my own things to worry about. You're in my way.

Take this.

Give me that.

Go.

Leave!

Don't come back.

I spent three hours on the plane.

Four hours in a car.

You're living in quite a place.

I rented this from my friend. He runs the place.

Let's go.

Where to?

Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again later.

Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again later.

You're Brother Zhang's woman.

I still don't understand.

What were you thinking?

How can you borrow money from Brother Zhang's nemesis?

Do you know that you're stabbing Brother Zhang in the back?

They told me that they could help me.

I didn't know it was a trap.

Do you think breaking a little finger will end this?

No one can help you now.

Unless you pay the money back.

Call your daughter.

Ask her to come here.

Why do you need her here?

Get your daughter to hang out here for three days.

You can find that money in the meantime.

I never raised her. We don't have any bond.

Call her.

Old Du.

She's just a child. Why get her to...

She left you before. You can't trust her.

Is she coming tomorrow?

She's going back to Shenzhen.

When?

Soon, in a few days.

Get in formation.

I said to get in formation!

Come on.

We'll carry on.

[Your mom is Room 588 of Xishu Sunshine Garden Grand Hotel.]

We'll start with that gesture.

Ready, start!

- Two, two, three, four. - Hello?

Five, six, seven, eight.

- One, two, three, four. - I got it.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Three, two, three, four.

Five, six, seven, eight.

I'll be right there.

Shui Qing, where are you going?

Where's my mom?

Why are you here so soon?

She fell asleep and isn't awake yet.

Take a walk downstairs. Buy something you like.

What happened to you?

Answer me!

Don't come over.

Wait for me outside.

- Hello. - Hello, this is 110…

Call the police!

What are you doing?

Make a report!

What are you doing?

It's all right. Don't cry.

- Have you been bullied? - No, don't talk nonsense.

Take this. We're going back.

Silly child.

Give me a second.

You can't leave.

What are you doing?

Get lost! Leave her alone!

Let go of her!

Don't touch her!

Let them leave.

Get lost!

Brother Zhang was worried that you'd go soft on her.

What if Qu Ting runs off again?

I know what I'm doing. Your reminders aren't needed.

Let them leave!

Go!

How many?

Two.

You can't take pills with alcohol.

Let's find a nice place and live together.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'll just stay here.

Just go home.

Go home.

Let me sleep alone for a while.

Last time, Wang Cuiping mortgaged the house and got lots of money.

I just need the real estate certificate.

I know where it is. I'll get it.

Do you like Miss Zheng?

I do!

Good.

We're home! What should we do when we're home?

Wash our hands!

Correct! Full marks! Wash your hands.

What are you doing?

Shui Hao!

Get in here!

What's going on?

What is she doing?

Shui Qing, you made a mess.

- Tidy the place. - Don't move!

Explain yourself. What were you looking for?

You're a thief!

I want to go, too.

I want to go.

Come back with me.

Mommu, where is Sister going?

Your mom said she went to find you.

Seems like she ran off again.

Can you stop harassing her?

I can leave her.

But as soon as I go,

your mom will be doomed.

Someone wants her to disappear from this world.

Shui Qing has been waiting ages for you.

Come and sit down.

I can't believe you're back.

Looks like you still care about your daughter.

What are you carrying?

How are you still in the mood…

for shopping at this time?

Those are gifts.

You have to accept aging.

You used to be able to fish a man for cash easily.

You've been back for half a month,

but all you got is a box of skincare products.

Can you have some respect?

Are you asking for respect now?

To be honest,

I always suspected that you gambled in Macau for the dance troupe.

But that dance troupe was actually…

I came over just to remind you.

You have two days left.

You said you'd get the real estate certificate in the morning.

Actually, that's useless.

Properties here aren't worth much.

They won't fetch ¥2 million.

¥2 million?

I'll ask Jin Xi at school tomorrow.

Even if she's willing to lend us so much money, her parents won't agree.

I'll talk to her first.

We'll stage a fake kidnapping case.

We can get some money from her parents first.

She's done it before anyway.

We'll try to pay them back later.

Will that work?

Let's try.

She will help us.

Jin Xi.

I'm on duty tonight.

I need to talk to you about something. Come out with me.

You too, Bai Haowen.

Your mother is flirting with Bai Haowen. Do you know that?

You don't?

Your mother asked him for a set of cosmetics, and she was going to ask for money.

She has no shame.

She didn't ask for it. I gave it to her myself.

So, your mom didn't come to school to help with choreography,

but to seduce young men.

Let it go.

You were duped like a fool.

I'm speaking up for you.

What are you afraid of?

I asked you what you are afraid of!

You guys!

What are you doing?

Did you come to school to fool around?

What are you waiting for? Go back to class.

Get moving!

Shui Qing, go back.

Copy down this formula.

Jin Xi.

Jin Xi.

Teacher!

I have to go to the School Broadcast Station.

Goodbye, Teacher.

Campus Voices is with you.

Today is September 27, 2018, Friday.

Emerging due to hormones and then vanishing with age.

Born in the economic boom and abandoned once resources ran out.

This is a city like an acne.

Abundant daylight puts a filter of overexposure on the city.

Everything looks bright, but ulcers are rampant.

This is an orphaned city.

This is a poem written by a student.

Jin Xi.

Did you read my letter?

I really want to apologize to you.

Please, forgive me.

Tomorrow is my birthday. Can you spend it with me?

Are you kidding me?

It's true.

My dad got my birthday wrong.

My mom told me that my real date of birth is September 28.

Tomorrow?

If you read your letter out loud, I'll celebrate your birthday with you.

What's wrong?

Your letter is so well written.

It's lyrical.

What are you doing?

I want to yell at my mom just like you.

She left me when I was over a year old

and came back not too long ago.

I know I should hate her and curse at her,

- but I don't want to. - Jin Xi's gone too far.

If I do that, my miserable life will be even more miserable.

Since we can't choose our own parents,

we can do nothing but to accept our fates.

- I've always been jealous of you. - Shui Qing.

Stop reading.

- I've always been jealous of you. - Stop reading.

You live comfortably with a rich family and no one bullies you. - Stop reading.

- You never hesitate. - I told you to stop reading

You're never afraid.

I told you to stop reading.

- You have no fears or hesitations. - I told you to stop reading.

I always feel blessed to be your friend.

Would you please give me another chance?

Can you spend my birthday with me tomorrow?

Don't worry, Jin Xi has agreed.

Is she willing to help us?

Have a good rest.

Wait for my call at 6 p.m. tomorrow.

I'll tell you where to park the car.

Remember to bring the bag.

Aren't you going to stay here with me?

Old Du asked me to pass on a message.

There's only one day left.

Jin, you lost all my money?

Screw you!

Don't ever come back!

Mom also wants to come back.

Don't cry, Xi Xi.

You can tell me everything.

Why won't you talk to me?

What do you want me to do?

Please, say something, Xi Xi.

Hello, what can I do for you?

Hello…

Do you know a student called Ma Yueyue?

I asked them to come along for your birthday.

My mom wants to explain to you about Xiao Bai.

It was a misunderstanding.

If you bring so many people along, it'll be embarrassing for her.

If your mom really wants to apologize, she can look for me on her own.

Why are you doing her job?

You aren't the one flirting with Xiao Bai, right?

Jin Xi.

Don't cross the line.

We're classmates. Why are you so unreasonable?

I'm helping Bai Haowen get an explanation.

It's none of your business.

You know better than us why you're helping him.

Don't use an excuse of righteousness to bully her.

How very understanding of you.

No wonder you have a dad like that.

She's so nice to you. Let her spend your birthday with you.

- Leave me alone! - Jin Xi!

Let go of me!

Jin Xi!

Jin Xi!

Jin Xi!

Jin Xi!

Yueyue.

Can you spend my birthday with me?

Today?

Please.

Let's go.

Happy birthday.

What's wrong?

It's a little bitter.

Try mine.

It's okay.

You can have it.

Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again later.

Sorry…

Why did you turn off your phone?

Are you looking for trouble?

I'm cooking fish for you tonight. Come back earlier.

My best friend is studying to be an air stewardess in Chengdu.

Once she graduates,

we can rent a place and live together.

Shui Qing.

I'm so tired.

I just want to sleep.

My taxi is here. I'll take you back.

I don't want to go back.

Come on.

Where is Jin Xi?

Drive first.

- Where are we going? - Jin Sha Wharf.

How many sleeping pills did you give her?

Five.

Why is she here?

I'll tell you later.

I'm sending you guys home.

How can she go back like this?

Get off.

- Where is Jin Xi? - She didn't come to school today.

Yueyue's family is also affluent.

Her parents love her very much. They won't call the police.

Are you mad?

Are you serious?

Do you think Old Du is joking around with you?

What should we do now?

The same as we planned.

The only difference is

the money could've been transferred directly to Jin Xi's bank account.

Now, you have to drive to get cash.

No, I can't.

I can't do it.

You have to.

Why did you turn off your phone?

I have your daughter.

I'll give you three hours to find ¥2 million.

- If you call the police, I'll kill her. - What-

Call them again in two hours.

Ask them to throw the money down from the wharf bridge.

Let's send Ma Yueyue back, okay?

No, we can't.

We have to try even if there's only a slim chance.

Otherwise, Old Du will definitely kill you.

We'll head back and say… this was just a horrible prank.

We took her here and called her dad.

How can we give up now?

You don't know.

Sometimes, when we make a decision… a choice,

it'll take decades to realize that it was a mistake.

I've already ended up in this plight.

You can't follow in my footsteps.

If I hadn't come back,

you'd still be an ordinary high schooler.

Don't let me have yet another…

another regret in my life.

Okay?

Why are there so many people here?

Come on, let's go back.

Is someone there? I heard noises.

Don't let her make a sound.

Turn on the music.

It's okay.

Shui Qing.

It's okay.

Don't worry.

Get back in the car.

Mom's here.

Don't worry, get in the car. Mom will handle this.

Shui Qing.

Don't worry.

It's okay.

Mom.

If there isn't a corpse, there's no evidence.

No.

This is upstream.

People will find out in the morning.

I should take her downstream first.

It's my dad.

How is that possible?

They must be lying.

Where are you?

I'll go over right away.

Where are you going?

I'll go back now.

I'll put him off and stop him from calling the police.

We… We'll figure out a solution later.

Mom.

Promise me something.

If we get caught,

say I did everything.

It was my idea. It has nothing to do with you.

If we get caught,

tell them I'm the one who tricked you.

As soon as you get in the car, you were unconscious.

Anyway, you've waited 16 years for me.

You can wait another 16 years for me.

By that time, we can live together.

[My life, my beginning]

I'm going to Chengdu.

My best friend is studying to be an air stewardess in Chengdu.

Once she graduates, we can rent a place and live together.

Why do you have so many secrets?

I can know everything now.

I even know your secret.

My secret?

You wish…

that this was just a dream.
