(2001 07/13 Beijing Married)

(Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau Household Registration)

What are you staring at?

Thank you.

You're welcome.

- Wedding candy. - Thank you.

Wait a moment.

Today is July 13, 2001,

a special day.

The 112th IOC session

will be held in Moscow today.

I still remember the last time we failed to bid for the Olympics.

I drank so much out of frustration.

Almost got into a fight.

It's been eight years in a flash.

This time we'll make it.

- We will. - Definitely.

Of course.

Our overall strength is different now.

Different.

They're taking a bit long.

- Yeah. - Exactly.

Isn't it just signing and stamping?

Why aren't they out yet?

Zhou is thorough.

At work, he checks

everything he signs

multiple times

to ensure there's no legal risk.

Very meticulous.

Zhizhi has a stable job,

is beautiful,

and doesn't want betrothal gifts.

What's the risk for him?

They're just getting a certificate.

What's the difference between marriage and sworn brotherhood?

In financial management, there is.

Even among siblings,

you must settle accounts clearly.

If they get married,

money goes into one pocket.

Think about it.

If they have the wedding at a five-star hotel,

twenty tables will cost at least 50,000 yuan.

Wedding service starts at 20,000.

Filming and makeup will cost another 10,000.

At work,

our 200-person annual meeting has a budget of just 100,000.

And that includes a lottery.

Why are men so realistic?

The annual meeting happens every year,

but a wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event.

Not necessarily.

Later, we need to make him treat us to a big meal for Zhizhi.

Can't let him off easy.

- Agree. - I agree.

Don't let him get away with it.

Japanese Wagyu,

Australian lobster,

and French oysters.

Should we follow the map?

The girls are ruthless, with Wagyu on the list.

I have a bad feeling.

What's wrong?

When I picked up Zhou today,

he was ten minutes late coming downstairs.

And guess what he said to me in the car?

Security,

harmony, and happiness.

These things added together

might look like love,

and almost equivalent to love.

Stop being so pretentious.

That sounds reasonable.

What's the problem?

That is from "Love in the Time of Cholera".

Do you know the next line?

"They are not love after all."

Zhou Shihui!

Zhou Shihui!

I'll beat you to death, Zhou Shihui.

What's happening?

Slow down, slow down.

- What's happening? - What's going on?

Zhizhi, Zhizhi, Zhizhi.

I'm sorry.

I really can't marry you today.

Get up. Why?

- I really can't marry you. - Yes, what's going on?

- What's going on? - Ask him.

If I marry you,

I'll truly harm you.

I thank you for your tolerance

and patience over these seven years.

In short, I realized today

I've been going in circles.

You're not my destination.

I'm sorry.

Why didn't you figure this out earlier?

It took you seven years to realize

I'm not your destination?

No, you must marry me today.

We can divorce tomorrow if necessary.

Everyone knows we're getting the certificate.

Go, it won't hurt.

- No, no, no. - Go, go.

What are you doing?

Hurry, run.

Don't get physical. Let's talk this out.

- Stop hitting! - Where are my glasses?

Move!

- Run, Zhou! - Zhou Shihui, good for you.

Yuan Zheng, cover us.

Okay, okay.

Don't hit her. Don't hit her.

No, no, no.

Zhou Shihui, what do you think you're doing?

You owe me!

Getting married is like bungee jumping.

You just need to grit your teeth and close your eyes.

When you open your eyes again,

you'll find yourself alive.

That feeling of surviving

is like living another life.

Isn't it worth it?

Do you have someone else?

Who's that woman?

Think about it.

She knows you're getting married and still flirts with you.

She can't be decent.

Such women are like poisonous mushrooms.

You...

You have the nerve to cry?

Feeling wronged?

Such women are like poisonous mushrooms.

Eating them makes you delirious at best

and destroys your family at worst.

Do you understand?

Listen to me.

Let's turn back now.

Apologize to Guan Zhizhi.

Maybe this can be fixed.

I'm turning back.

It's too late.

A marriage without love is unethical.

Guan Zhizhi and I

can never go back.

Without love, could you stay together for seven years?

Who can burn with passion for seven years

without turning to ashes?

Ordinary is real. You...

I fell in love with someone else.

Not marrying her

is being responsible to her.

What did I say?

Who is she?

Someone from our workplace?

No.

Why are you looking at me like that?

You didn't fall for me, did you?

Your sister.

How dare you hit on my sister?

How dare you covet my sister?

I'll kill you!

- Don't! Stop hitting. - How dare you hit on my sister?

How dare you covet her?

Okay, stop hitting me. I'm serious.

How dare you covet her?

I'll kill you!

You shameless toad.

You think you can get a swan?

I'll kill you.

My face...

Good job.

Catch me if you can.

Sure. Come on.

Nice.

Awesome.

Cool!

Nice.

Great job.

Awesome.

Well done.

Cool.

Impressive.

Follow up, everyone.

Keep up.

Get out of the car.

I...

I treated you like a brother,

and you're coveting my sister?

It's not just coveting.

I genuinely like her.

I love her.

You're married!

I repeat.
