Back To 1989 (1989一念間 / 1989 Yi Nian Jian)

I can't be with you while I have this wound in my heart.

If you hadn't met me, then you wouldn't have to sacrifice so much.

It's all my fault. Let's break up.

I don't want to break up with you!

I can't choose who my father is, but I can choose this method to repay him for giving me life!

Hit me then! After you're done, I won't have anything to do with you any more!

Life has too many regrets.

What is it that I'm working hard to change? However, now,

things have changed.

My mom said that she learned to be a mom from my grandmother.

You're the one who made me a mother. You're the one who made me a better person.

Chen Che, I want to apologize to you and say thank you.

I thank these people from the past for coming into my life.

August 20th.

However, Ye Zhen Zhen and I already lack a tomorrow.

Our time keeps counting down.

Promise me that we will love each other well every day.

I'm temporarily leaving her life for now.

So this is the classroom where you studied?

There's not really much that's changed in twenty-seven years.

Where did you sit?

Here.

It feels like I'm attending class with you.

You were indeed a good student.

Unlike me, I used to sit as far away from the teacher as possible.

This has nothing to do with me being a good student or not.

Doesn't one sit very close to the blackboard so they can listen to the lecture seriously?

There was a very beautiful senior who always sat there.

From this angle, it seems like I'm listening to the lecture.

But it just so happens that I could also openly look at her.

You're not allowed to look!

You can't deprive me of my right to seriously listen to the lecture.

Let me tell you, don't think that you can act as you please while I'm not by your side.

I will not let anyone else have a chance.

Get up. Get up already. - What?

Here.

Hey! Don't vandalize.

I fell in love with a girl who doesn't belong in my world.

I fell in love with a boy who doesn't belong in my world.

She's a fox that was tamed by me.

I must be responsible for my fox.

However... we will get separated soon.

But actually... I'm the fox who was tamed.

Being tamed is a very blissful thing.

I'm very blissful.

And... I'm very lucky.

I often come here alone.

You can say that this place is my secret hideaway.

Then... from now on,

this is our secret hideaway.

I finally completely understand his 2016.

But... he's already leaving my 1989 soon.

I hope that when we meet again,

we won't ever have to separate.

I don't want to separate from him again.

The next time we meet... it will be forever.

Chen Che.

Chen Che.

I fell asleep again.

Yeah.

Recently, I get tired easily.

I always want to sleep.

Then... let's go back home early to rest.

Let's stay for a while.

In three more days,

you'll become a small baby.

You won't know anything or remember me.

You won't remember the turtle, or that you loved me,

or that we were once together.

This is really unfair.

I will remember.

When you miss me, just look at the stars in the sky.

You and I will always be looking at the same starry sky.

Yes. The same starry sky.

Ye Zhen Zhen, there's a bug.

Where?

Don't move.

It's on your head.

It's a firefly.

Firefly?

Okay, I won't move.

Did you catch it?

The firefly is like a small lantern.

It also looks a lot like the shooting star in the sky.

Looking at them makes me feel like my dream is really close to me.

That firefly is about to fly away. Hurry and make a wish now.

Even if you don't say it,

I already know what wish you made.

I, like you,

also wish that time could stop at this moment.

Let this moment become forever.

Hey! Look at this.

It's so cute!

Don't buy a yellow one. It's weird when boys wear yellow.

He'll like this.

Oh...

Also, taking a bath is just taking bath. Don't buy any more of these bath toys.

He'll get scared and cry because of this stuff.

Will he?

That's really cute.

Mom—

I mean, Soon-to-Be-Mom. Toys like this are better.

Look, if you press the button it'll make music.

Oh, okay. Maybe he'll sleep better with this.

Oh, also, when he's older, buy him a soccer ball. He'll definitely love it.

Are you a fortune teller? You even know this.

I'm a guy. I know the preferences of boys better.

How about letting me pay for all of this? Just treat it as a gift from me.

Is that okay?

I'll go pay now.

Ah! My bag! I don't know where I left it.

Hold this for me.

How come she's always this forgetful? Always making others worry...

You love her. Of course you're not at ease.

Hey.

Ya Juan, I'm going on a long trip next week.

I might be gone for a very long time because of it.

Why is it so sudden? Are you returning to America?

You have to take good care of yourself.

Take good care of Zhen Zhen for me as well.

Does Zhen Zhen know?

She's very brave, but even a brave person has times of weakness.

If... there are times when she can't hold on any more, I hope that you can be by her side.

We are good friends. Accompanying each other is a must.

But don't stay away for very long.

Even if our relationship is very good and our friendship is very deep,

it won't be able to replace love.

Wait. Can I have this?

I want to listen to you singing when I think of you,

as if you're still always by my side.

What is this?

This is a card I made for you.

You can't look at it right now.

You must wait until we dig this box out together in the future before you can read it.

Why then? You're leaving me with a lot of anticipation.

This way, there's more motivation.

After twenty-six years, let's look at it together.

Timing and subtitles brought to you by The Lovers From The Past @ Viki

I will come here every year to tie a yellow ribbon on the tree.

When I tie the twenty-sixth ribbon,

it will be time for our reunion.

This is for you.

This is...?

Our keepsake.

I also have one.

Look.

There's also this.

This is me, right?

This is me. They'll accompany you

until the day we reunite.

Hi, Chen Che.

Hi, Ye Zhen Zhen.

Look at you! Looking so decent... Do you like it?

I'll be wearing a uniform when I enter senior high. I won't be wearing any suit.

What do you know? Every man

should have a decent suit,

just like Chen Che. Haven't you seen him wear our suits?

How dashing!

Oh, really? Do I look like Brother Che when I do this?

Dream on. Other than the suit being similar,

you still need to learn a lot of things from Chen Che.

This time, luckily, you were able to receive sacred teachings from your Brother Che,

having him give you mock exams with half of your exam questions.

That's why you were able to catch a car's rear and get into a senior high school.

Hey, hey! Wrong!

I caught a car rear and got into

a public senior high school!

It's good that you know that!

Remember, thank your Brother Che well.

Okay already. Thank you, Dad.

Ye Qing Xiong! There's someone here for measurements!

Oh, okay, okay.

Guo An... you're a grown man now after wearing a suit.

Brother Che, let me tell you. Actually, I already knew beforehand.
