The Way We Were (Shí Liù Gè Xià Tiān / 16個夏天)

Previously… A lot of times, missing is a type of regret.

There is something that I think I won't be able to hide anymore.

I like Jia Ni.

Since you're still talking about these trivial things, it must mean that your brain hasn't been fried.

Tang Jia Ni, let's date.

Liking someone, what would the expression be?

Thinking of that person, you would laugh.

Not seeing that person, you will miss them.

I don't know the meaning behind your expression.

I just know that the soup you made for me, made my whole body feel warm.

See each other in the summer of 1998.

The Way We Were Episode 3

The game you love the most is called "You ask, I'll answer."

Whatever you ask, I will answer.

Such a boring game, but you seem to find it fun.

I don't get it.

I also don't know why, now that I want to answer you,

you're not asking anymore.

Recently, there have been many unimaginable things happening.

For example,

what's happened these past few days.

Fang Wei De.

Jia Ni won't be coming.

She never got your note.

Your note is here with me.

That evening, I was the one in Jia Ni's room.

She was working overtime, so she gave me her keys and told me to wait for her at home.

And then I received this.

Then why didn't you give it to her?

Because I think that you're going to hurt her.

What?

How can you say-- - Because I'm her friend.

Wei De, she was hurt a lot because of Jiang Da Wei.

She doesn't need to start another rotten relationship.

Have you thought about whether you really like her or not?

Of course I like her.

It's just momentary though, isn't it?

For you, love is something that just comes and goes.

If the feelings aren't right, then you can just end it immediately.

The next relationship will be better anyway.

But Jia Ni isn't that kind of person.

You're siding with Jun Jie, right?

I'm siding with my best friend.

That person is Tang Jia Ni.

But even if you are best friends, I don't think you have the right to decide anything for her.

I know that.

That's why I came here to ask you.

Maybe I won't be able to stop you.

But if you really like Jia Ni,

I will wish you the best.

But if you're not even sure about it yourself,

please,

let her go.

Fang Wei De, are you being serious about this?

Yes.

I am being serious.

I...

Fang Wei De, are you OK?

I'm not even your type.

Your type is probably more like her.

Her...

Or maybe her.

I'm not the same kind of girl as them.

So why are you thinking of me?

I don't even know myself.

Maybe it's because...

I just... When I eat, I think of you.

When I shower, I think of you. When I'm sleeping, I think of you.

Even when I'm doing...that, I think of you.

Fang Wei De, you're so vulgar!

Why are you like this? I'm just a normal man, I go through puberty too.

Fine.

Leaving aside your obscene thoughts, let me ask you.

Why are you thinking of me? - I...

Or rather, would you like me to become them?

Oh my god.

You'd better get this in your head.

In this lifetime,

I won't become like those girls.

I'm already certain of that.

Then-- - Stop forcing me, I don't have an answer!

Maybe it's because I've known you for so long, but you've never seemed interested in me,

so I felt like I failed so I wanted to conquer you.

Or maybe it's because we spent all day together and talked about everything,

so it feels like you can see right through me. I've never done that with a girl before.

Or maybe it's because... Liking someone just doesn't have a reason.

It's just like how two magnets attract each other and how-

What am I saying?!

You get what I'm trying to say, right? That's right, I like you! Is that enough?

Wait, that's not right! This is a dream! I have to courageously face it!

Why are you still here?

Since you're still here... I might as well help myself. Come on.

Let me kiss...

Fang Wei De!

Fang Wei De, get up!

Hurry up! You're inside making noises, what are you doing?!

Have you gotten up yet?

What?

What is it?

I'm up. Are you calling someone's soul back?

Didn't someone say they were going to start exercising?

The day starts with a good start! I said I would help you.

Hurry up! Do the things you say you'll do!

OK, give me a little time. Wait, I'll change my clothes.

Hurry up! - OK.

It was a dream.

So? After exercising, don't you feel all refreshed?

The only thing I've realized is...

Breakfast is very important. Shopkeeper!

I'd like a clubhouse sandwich, and also turnip cake.

And a hash-brown, a thick slice of toast, and let me have another milkshake along with an orange juice.

Fang Wei De, are you a food bucket? Eating so much. - Stop talking nonsense and quickly order.

Or do you want a Happy Meal?

So annoying...

I'd like strawberry toast,

and also a pearl barley milk.

I think that this "new life movement" can come to a beautiful end after today.

End?

Yeah. My head must have been broken to suggest this.

Fang Wei De, you really give up so easily.

Determination doesn't just involve one person.

It requires the right time, place, and people in order to make a volcanic explosion.

Bang your head!

Can you at least have a little perseverance, a little willpower, a little determination?

I do have determination, but I also can't give up the grace that God has blessed me with, right?

Fang Wei De, did you ever think about what your future would be like?

This question seems too difficult for me.

What are you doing?

It's strawberry jam. - You're trying to take the chance to-

What? To flirt? - Mhm.

Who called you?

I don't know. Random number.

Probably called the wrong number.

Maybe it's an alien trying to send a secret signal to you.

Have you heard of the seven wonders of the world?

Probably don't know right?

Like the The Pyramid of Giza, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon,

the Temple of Artemis, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia

the Tomb of Mausolus, Colossus of Rhodes, and Pharo Lighthouse.

Fang Wei De.

Couldn't tell that you would do a lot of homework just to get girls.

Now you know.

But all the wonders that I just mentioned all have to do with architecture.

You already know that I major in designing.

Maybe one day I, genius Fang Wei De, will design the world's eighth-

Who is calling you again?

You care too much. Does it concern you?

It's Jun Jie.

I'll let you borrow my phone.

No need. It's probably nothing. I can talk to him when I go home.

The phone bill is so expensive. He probably wants to ask me what I want to eat for my birthday.

It's almost your birthday? - Yeah, July 29th.

Oh, you're a Leo.

How are you planning to spend it?

I don't know yet.

In the past, they used to say Nanyang Street was very lively.

It's actually like a night market.

It's alright. Everyday we come here and don't know what to eat.

Hey, my bicycle's here.

Why are you so nice today, asking to treat me to dinner?

Rui Rui. Actually...I have a favor to ask you.

Every year, we spend Jia Ni's birthday together with the three of us.

But this year, I want to...

You want to kick me out and spend it with just the two of you?

Hey, you're really going overboard.

Okay. Okay. Okay. I'll fulfill your wish.

You've really agreed?

You're too nice!

But I don't know what kind of present I should buy her.

Can you go with me to pick a present?

Fine. I'll be a good person.

Try to guess what my bike lock password is.

You're not so old-fashioned to the point where you would use her birthday as your password, right?

Seriously? Haha.

Zero. Seven. Two. Nine.

Fang Wei De, did you ever think about what your future would be like?

Welcome. Please close the curtains.

Insert the photo fee.

Later, there will be a simple interview.

So everyone please pay attention to the time.

If you haven't submitted your portfolio yet, then submit it later.

You're saying you want to change jobs?

If there's an opportunity, I want to take it. Can't be parking cars forever.

Hey, let me ask you Ah Qing.

Have you ever thought about what the future would be like?

I've thought about this question yesterday when I went to the bathroom.

I think my hair will be all cut off,

every time I play basketball it's always getting in the way.

You know like Beckham,

you know, the one that plays rugby?

Oh so handsome. -Beckham is a soccer player.

I'm asking you if you have any dreams.

Dreams?
