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

Life constantly moves forward.

But the things that moved towards me are pasts that no one wants to remember.

How could you do this to me?!

Ya Juan believes that it was me.

My existence was what ruined her love!

Chen Ya Juan! - I don't love you anymore.

Let's break up.

The person you love is Wang Zhong En. I wish you happiness.

I personally saw Mom's life headed towards a tragic ending.

If you continue to bother her, it doesn't matter who you are to me,

I will never forgive you!

1990 begins with chaos.

Hong Yuan will lose all its money.

Even my secret savings are gone!

Our family's money... is all gone.

No matter what the price is, Mom will let you study abroad.

Everything that happens right now is history.

They are things that cannot be changed.

When we face destiny, is it that we don't have any choice?

What's wrong?

Isn't it said that a new outlook comes with the new year?

So, why is it that bad things have been coming one after another?

Ye Zhen Zhen, don't you know?

A worried expression doesn't really suit you.

Hey, let me ask you.

I'm... Ya Juan's best friend.

You... are Ya Juan's son.

Don't you think that it's a bit strange that we're dating?

What's strange about it?

To me, you are Ye Zhen Zhen... my girlfriend.

But... every time I think of holding hands with you,

I feel apologetic towards Ya Juan.

Then what do you want to do?

I also don't know what to do.

Don't forget. It was you who originally said that whether it is for a day or a minute,

we have to treasure every moment that we're together.

I'm standing in front of you right now.

But you're still thinking of the Chen Che from 2016.

Regardless of where my past self is,

and regardless of what my future self will be like,

the me standing in front of you right now,

is your, Ye Zhen Zhen's, boyfriend.

Also, you'll have to be mentally prepared.

I'm not someone who easily asks for a break up.

Really?

You're the one who said it. You absolutely cannot break up casually. Can you guarantee it?

Of course. When have I not meant the words I've said?

But, from 1990 to 2016... there's twenty-six years.

How many wrinkles will I have on my face by then?

Don't worry. By 2016, there's lots of technology for micro-plastic surgery.

You can be twenty years younger without going under the knife.

As long as you have the money.

As long as you have the money?

What is it? Why didn't you finish what you were saying?

Ye Zhen Zhen, I've thought of a way to make your mom a bit happier.

Come on, let's go home.

What way? Tell me!

What is it?

Wow! How do you have so much money?

This is my sales bonus for a month.

A month?

My God! So the distance between me and a super salesperson is this far off.

Let's not discuss this now. Didn't Guo An say your mom went to Huang Hun market?

If we don't hurry, she'll be back.

Isn't that very obvious? She'll be able tell right away.

Haven't you ever read fairy tales before?

The purpose of the bread crumbs... was for people to find them.

Ohhh! You're awesome.

I only have NT $1,000 (~15 USD) and I still have to get through the rest of the month.

Why is there this much money?

Why is there this much money?

Mom! You're home?

Hey, hey, hey, you came at a perfect time. Is this money yours?

It was here under the telephone.

Oh, it's not mine. How could I have this much money? Chen Che, is it yours?

My money isn't any less than before. Auntie Ye, could it be that you left it here and forgot?

Aiyah, that's impossible! I clearly know how much money I have and where I put it.

How could I have this much money and not know?

Ah! Maybe it's...

Dad's secret stash of money.

Aiyah! That's impossible!

How much money your dad has is how much I take out of my wallet every day and give him.

It's impossible that he has this much money.

But... Uncle Ye has treated me to dinner and a bottle of beer.

Ye Jing Xiong treated you to dinner and beer?

I told you that Dad has a secret stash of money!

Maybe... he has hid money in other places.

Let me think. Knowing Dad's personality, where would he hide his money?

Where, where, where?

The most dangerous place

is the safest hiding spot.

So, I think it's...

there!

Hey! This is Dad's treasure. Don't open it!

If he finds out about this, be prepared to suffer the consequences.

What's the matter? We only need to look for a bit. I'll be really careful.

Ohhhh!

This, this, this, this!

How is there this much money?

Oh, Ye Jing Xiong!

Aiyo, Mom, just take it!

Hurry and put it away before Ye Guo An sees it. He's such a blabbermouth, if he sees it he might tell.

You, what are you guys doing?

We are... waiting to eat dinner.

Right! Mom, hurry and cook dinner!

I just happen to be going to cook dinner. It's time to eat dinner.

My stomach is so hungry.

I... did I miss something?

"Thank you for being able to come because of my heart's loneliness."

"Be with me and look at the mountain and the moon and live a life of gods."

"Butterflies"

"fluttering together in a dream..."

Ye Zhen Zhen, you said that you borrowed the book to read it.

Why are you looking at me instead of the book?

Chen Che, thank you for all the things you did for my mom yesterday.

Even if we can't get the Hong Yuan money back,

this money will now be enough to solve all the problems.

I am also grateful to your parents

for taking care of me like their own son.

Even though I discovered a sad secret by coming here to 1989,

I am very lucky to have been able to meet your family.

Aiyo.

It's our family that is fortunate to have met you.

Look. The weather is so good today. So don't worry too much anymore.

Have you read these books in 2016?

It doesn't matter if I've read them or not. The classics, no matter how long ago they were written,

can survive the test of time and are worthy of being read over and over again.

So these books will be read in the future too. Let me take note of that.

What are you writing?

You're not allowed to look. This is my diary.

You're writing a diary?

Everyday? It's my first time seeing someone who has graduated that is still writing in a diary.

You future people don't write diaries anymore?

We write on blogs or share on facebook

then put it on the internet so everyone can see it.

No one still uses a notebook to write diaries.

Huh? Everyone can see it? Isn't that weird?

It's still better to write it by yourself so that no secret will be leaked.

What secrets do you have? Let me see it.

You can't. - Why?

Don't worry. I didn't write anything against you.

It's just that...

It's just what? - Anyway, you just can't see it.

Even if you want to see it, you must wait 'til 2016, then we'll look at it together.

Ye Zhen Zhen, you're really a girl who can't keep a secret.

Jin Qin?

Uncle Chen, hello.

You're here to see Xiao Juan, right?

Since you're here already, why not go inside?

I...

I can see that you are sincere with our Xiao Juan.

But you guys are not fated to be together.

Uncle Chen...you have heard it too then.

But... I will definitely work hard to become someone worthy of Ya Juan.

I will work hard and earn a scholarship to go study in the U.S.

If, by that time, Ya Juan is still single,

I will win her back.

But...

if you successfully major in business,

and discover that Xiao Juan is already with Zhong En,

what will you do?

Wang Zhong En indeed has good qualifications.

As a parent, choosing him is understandable.

Jin Qin, what I mean is— - It's okay, Uncle Chen.

Unless Ya Juan doesn't love me anymore,

I will definitely not give up.

If the love between you two can survive this test,

then I believe that you will be together forever in the future.

Thank you, Uncle Chen.

Auntie, hello.

Why are you still doing this?

Ya Juan is already resolved in breaking up with you.

Shouldn't you also respect her decision?

Wan Ling.

Thank you for taking care of Ya Juan for these past few years.

Right now, she is going into a new chapter of her life.

What about you?

You guys have already ended.

You should let go of Ya Juan already, right?

I know that.

Uncle, Auntie, I'm sorry for bothering you.

I'll go now.

Must you really treat Jin Qin like that?

It's also for his sake that I said those things, to let him face reality early on.

Do you want him to continue to be trapped within love's pain and be unable to walk out?

Don't let Ya Juan know that Jin Qin came by.

It's not easy for her emotions to become a little settled. Don't let her be sad anymore.

You really mortgaged Grandma's house?

We can just work hard to earn money in the future and get it all back.

What's important now is you have money to go abroad.

As long as I can see you living well, all that I do is worth it.

Okay. I won't disrupt your studying any longer.

Also, Mama Wang sent you some soup.

Once your menstrual cycle has passed, I'll give you some to drink to help you nurse your health.
