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

Change... always comes when you least expect it.

He likes me but I can't reciprocate his feelings, and I even turned him handicapped.

Imposing force is the start of suffering.

Why did you bring that girl home?

Please, stop assuming we're so close.

He was gone for so long. Didn't he think we'd be worried?

That's just how he is. Share in the good, but not in the bad.

Fang Wei De, what kind of adults will we have become at 30?

What will the future be like?

The Way We Were Episode 6

The melody of reminiscing.The memories between you and I.

Longing in my heart. How can I meet you again?

Jerry Yan

In everyone's heart, there is always someone,

regardless of whether it's a happy or sad thing,

that someone is the first person you'll want to share it with.

Hello.

Hey, it's me.

This is my new phone number. - Did your phone break?

My colleagues gifted me a new phone.

If it wasn't broken, why did you change it?

Wait a minute.

Don't worry, get back to what you were doing. I'll tell you later.

The customer said they want this account redone.

OK, I'll find you later.

Hello. - Hey, don't worry. Get back to work.

Don't forget, we're meeting with Ah Qing tonight.

But sometimes, things don't go as you wish.

Your expectations are not the same as their's.

At this time, you start to think,

Ah, if I could talk to that someone at this time, that would be good.

After that, you would think of that very important someone who was once in your life.

But taking a look back,

the people who were important to you, without you realizing, have disappeared in time.

You take pictures every day. Aren't you tired of it?

Of course not. Who told you to take such long business trips?

Of course I have to take a few more pictures to look over later.

Alright, to make up for it... Come on, take some pictures.

Really?

Then I'm taking them.

Wei De, Ge Qing.

Ah Zheng! Where did you disappear to?

Long time no see.

We've been here so many times, and now we've finally run into you.

We just opened our business, I was planning on going to see you guys.

See, a big boss. Enduring prosperity of his career.

We're just a small business. The ones with money to make are you guys.

Look at how the development of the cellphone has followed so closely with the changing times.

In the past, who would have thought that a cellphone could be used to make and receive calls and check email?

That's right. - There are even functions you'd have never thought of.

This is called tendency.

OK. Wei De just got back to Shanghai, stop talking about work.

That's true. - Let's drink!

Here! Long time no see!

It's been a long time since I've seen you two. - It really has.

Wei De, have a seat.

Looking for me?

How long has it been since you last went back to Taipei?

Our Diamond device has been very well received in the markets.

The head office would like you to go to Taipei

and help with the development of the next new phone.

Are you kidding with me right now?

Do I look like I'm kidding?

By the way, you should also find someone to go along with you.

It'll be much more convenient if you have an assistant with you.

Do you have any candidates?

You decide. They just have to be capable.

Jin Ge really said that?

From the sound of it, you don't seem to want to go to Taipei with me.

Well, I don't want to go.

People are going to start talking again.

They'll say things like we're using our jobs for some private gain.

They'll say it's because of you that I went from an intern to full time staff.

It's so annoying.

You still care about those things?

That's a shame. I guess I'll just have to find someone else to come.

You dare to?!

Fine, whatever. They can say all they want.

I knew you would say that.

I really want to see your dad. And your good friend-- - Ah Qing.

Right, Ah Qing.

He seems like a very interesting person.

I figure that after we become friends,

he'll definitely tell me all about your past romances.

What are you going to do when you find out about that?

Nothing.

I just want to understand the person I like a bit more.

Don't get so caught up in digging into my past.

If you mess up the work then you'll regret it.

That won't happen.

When do we leave?

End of next month at best.

Bike.

Put this in.

That's about it.

What took so long? - I came right after class ended.

You're so slow. - Xiao Mei's here?

Hi, Jia Ni jie.

Hey, help out. - Ok.

I don't have that many hands. I'm not an octopus.

That's true.

You really like to nag.

Hey, I only have two hands.

Your mom went back?

Yeah, I told Linda Jie to go back and rest.

Closing the shop is no big deal. You can leave that to me.

Aren't I considerate?

That's something you should have been doing anyway. Why are you looking for praise?

I was shocked when I heard you were opening a floral shop.

Thank goodness you were opening it with Linda Jie. Otherwise, you'd have said bye-bye to it long ago.

You have that little faith in me? - You get it now?

Hey, Jun Jie Ge. - Hey, you're here.

Why are you so late?

I called you a few times later, and you didn't answer.

There was a lot happening at work, so I didn't get a chance to answer my phone.

Right, so what's so important?

It's not something that's important.

It's something happy that I want to tell you about.

What happy thing?

Listen carefully,

I, Tang Jia Ni,

was promoted to Customer Service Manager!

That's not easy!

That hurt.

Congratulations. - Thank you.

In a few days, I have to go to Shanghai for a conference.

Don't worry.

Tang Jia Ni can do anything. What's too hard for you? - That's true.

Jun Jie, you're so lucky.

You married such a hardworking wife.

You're so fortunate!

Seeing Jia Ni right now, I almost forgot how tough she used to be.

What? When was I? - When weren't you?

The first day I met you,

I mistakenly thought you were one of Fang Wei De's numerous girlfriends.

Then she got so angry, she went crazy!

It wasn't that dramatic. You're exaggerating. - Yes it was. It was so scary.

So Jia Ni and Wei De must have a good relationship?

Things aren't as simple as that.

At the time, everyone had a good relationship.

Fang Wei De thought of Tang Jia Ni all the time.

There was also Jun Jie, Rui Rui, and me.

The five of us as a group had a great friendship. We were together everyday.

So Jun Jie and Wei De both chased Jia Ni?

No, Fang Wei De, didn't chase me.

We were just friends.

Speaking of the five of us,

everyone hasn't gotten together in a long time.

Yeah.

After Rui Rui left to study abroad, Jia Ni and I just e-mailed her.

We rarely meet.

Wei De is even busier.

He barely contacted any of his friends here.

Him and I meet once a year.

We're like the cowherd and the weaver girl. (lovers separated by the stars who only meet once a year)

This is probably what's called, the problem of growing up.

Once you're grown up, you will slowly lose those things.

So Xiao Mei, you need to cherish the time you have now.

You can't just say it like that.

The things you lose, you still have a chance to find them. Right?

You see, right now there's this shop.

When Rui Rui comes back, when Wei De comes back,

everyone can get together again!

Isn't that good?

Let's not talk about this anymore. Come on, come on, come on.

Since we're drinking, let's drink. Am I afraid of you? Cheers.

I am afraid of you. Cheers. - Here.

You're drinking too?

Congratulations. - Thank you.

Here. Congratulations.

I should have learned how to drive back then. I shouldn't have listened to Mom.

Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden?

If I could drive,

then, most times, you could have a lot of fun, like tonight.

I'm very happy today.

But I want to be better.

You're already very good.

It's true.

When are you going to Shanghai?

Probably in a few days.

I'll go take a shower first.

You said that insole was uncomfortable. Take it out, I'll get you a new one tomorrow.

Okay.

Jia Ni, you're still not done working?

That's not it, I'm sending an e-mail to Rui Rui.

I'm going to tell her about my promotion.

I don't know what's up with her, she hasn't replied for around a month.

Maybe it's because she's busy with work, and doesn't have enough time to reply.

You still have work tomorrow, don't stay up too late.

Okay.

Sleep early. -Okay, you go sleep first. Good night.

Email content: Talks about her promotion. Tells Rui Rui to take care of herself. Wonders if she's dating.

Hey, why are you blaming me while you're the one late?

Who told you to choose this movie theatre?

I'm not familiar with this road. It's not like you don't know that I'm not good with directions.

So if I want to ask a direction-less person like you out,
