Our marriage registration and house purchase hasn't gone well.
Don't let your imagination run wild and scare yourself.
It's all a coincidence.
With me around, all misfortunes will be turned into blessings.
Liao brought us some amazing Ningxia mutton.
Let's have hotpot at home tonight. I'm going to have Cheng Gong slice it up.
Sure.
It's still early. I'm going to the Lingyin area.
For what?
I'm going to the Temple of Joy to burn some incense for us.
We've been so unlucky lately.
I'll burn incense to turn our luck around and be back in time for dinner.
You're going to go all the way out there? I'll drive you there another day.
I have nothing better to do, all right?
You may not care since you're just easygoing.
Lose something, you just have it replaced.
Well, I can't. I'm petty. I don't like losing anything.
All right.
Be careful on the road.
You didn't get much sleep catching the early flight.
Don't worry.
My phone is dying. It'll turn off soon.
Damn it. We have been a bit unlucky.
You two drivers come over here.
This is yours.
And this is yours.
Be careful next time.
[It's been a long time. I don't know if you've changed your number.]
Qing Chun? Qing Chun?
What is it?
My mom had a fall. There's nobody around to take care of her.
I... really couldn't find anyone else.
Can you please help me check in on her?
Fine. You asked. How could I say no?
Thank you, Qing Chun.
If there's a chance, I'd still like to talk to you.
Who are you looking for?
Grandma, have you forgotten again?
I'm Yang Yang's friend. I've visited before.
Auntie, how are you? Can you get up?
Qing Chun? Why did you come by?
Yang Yang.
He told me you got hurt.
It's my back. I slipped.
Where's your phone? My phone is out of battery.
I'll call an ambulance. Go to the hospital, get checked out.
No hospital. They prescribe medicine and charge ridiculous fees.
Listen to me. Yang Yang said you should listen to me.
Hello, ambulance?
Three of a kind and a single.
Three 10s and a 5.
One card left.
Pass.
Bomb!
Pair of 4s!
One card left!
I've been playing Fight the Landlord since I was a kid.
I'm not playing anymore. It's not fun.
Why aren't you playing anymore?
GM Xiong's phone is dead. She can't make calls.
She should've been back already.
- Does it hurt here? - Yes.
- Does it hurt here? - Yes, yes.
Hello.
Mom, it's Yang Yang. How are you now?
This is Xiong Qing Chun.
Your mom is at the hospital.
The doctor is treating her. She can't talk right now.
Qing Chun, you went? Thank you. Thank you so much.
Nothing to thank me for.
Are you in Shanghai?
Yes. I've been here for over a month. There's a project in the free trade area.
Is my mom seriously injured?
It shouldn't be serious. The doctor said she needs rest.
Thank you so much, Qing Chun.
No need to.
Anyway, I'll do what I can.
You don't have to worry.
I'm not worried now.
Qing Chun, I'm returning to Hangzhou tomorrow.
Can we meet?
The past...
I really can't forget.
And I'm becoming more...
- Wait. - You won't understand.
Is there anything worth remembering?
Aren't you used to moving forward without a thought for anyone around you?
Don't you only care about making decisions for yourself
without a care to others' feelings?
Yes, I can't understand an ego like yours.
But I've experienced the pain of a heart frozen over after being dumped!
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Qing Chun.
Forgive me for being immature.
I found out that the one really hurting after leaving you
is actually me.
- Qing Chun, believe me. - Don't say anymore.
- Right now, I... - Don't say anything else.
- I'm at Waigaoqiao - Don't say anything!
kneeling under a street lamp.
I want to express my remorse.
Will you please forgive me?
I already have a boyfriend.
I don't want to hear it from you.
I'm back.
How come you're so late? Nothing happened, right?
I rear-ended someone today.
I didn't get to go to the temple.
My phone died.
Are you okay though?
I'm fine. Everything just took a long time.
I haven't had dinner yet. I'm starving.
I'm glad you're all right.
How's the car?
Our car isn't that bad.
The other guy's car isn't looking too good though.
Give me the car key. I'll settle the claim and repairs.
You guys were waiting for me to have dinner?
I wasn't hungry.
GM Xiong, we played cards tonight.
Chairman Zheng lost six rounds.
Jia lost three rounds.
I was the big winner!
How could I be in the mood to play cards when GM Xiong wasn't back yet?
If she were by my side, you guys would've lost terribly.
This Ningxia mutton really is delicious.
It's better than the ones we buy.
I'm going to the Temple of Joy tomorrow.
I have to burn some incense no matter what.
I've been so unlucky.
Come with me.
I have an interview tomorrow.
I'll take you there after the car is fixed tomorrow.
No need to. Who knows how long repairs will take?
I'll just call a private car. No need for you to drive me.
Oh, right.
Since we lost the unit, you should find time to look at others.
What? Oh, right. Of course.
Hello, Mr. Wei.
We've already reviewed your resume and you meet company standards.
The position we are hiring for is a clerk at an insurance company.
The interview is to
learn about your experience following-up with clients.
Please talk about your past experiences
in filing, sorting, and confidentiality.
Group by policy number in numerical order.
Bind together at every 50th serial numbers.
File endorsements under the original policy file.
If there are fewer than 50 in an individual insurance type
then it is merged with another type and filed and sorted.
I'm much better after sticking on some patches.
Do I need more?
It'll be more effective. Don't be so careless again.
Okay.
- How long are you staying? - I'm not sure yet.
It'll depend on my mom's health.
- And you. - Me?
What about me?
Qing Chun, I was wrong in the past.
Auntie, don't say that.
I'm asking him.
Depends on me?
What about me?
GM Xiong isn't back yet?
She just called and said she'll be back soon.
- Okay. - She's back.
Interviews are over?
Yes. One didn't show up.
How are you? Feel better after burning incense?
Yes.
- Where's Hui? - He went to pick up the car.
Then, he's going with Ma Xiao Hong to pick up Xinfeng steamed dumplings.
Chairman Zheng's request.
I'm going downstairs to fetch a package.
Qiu Dong.
Luo Yi Ren came from so far away
and said it was for no other reason than just to see you.
But...
A woman's intuition is attuned to another's.
I suddenly have the feeling she didn't come to see you just for...
You understand.
I don't.
What you're saying has no rhyme or reason.
You can say I have OCD.
She's a swan turned into an ugly duckling.
She's mentally unbalanced and must need...
Stop playing dumb.
Don't you know what she wants to have?
What does she want?
I don't know.
My existence must make her feel very perturbed.
That must be it.
She must have spent a lot of effort just to find you.
Those hoping to heal their wounds
always find a place that calms their nerves.
Or a person.
Maybe your guesses are true.
