Love At Seventeen (我和我的十七歲)

Mom. Sis. I'm coming to find you guys.

There's only my mother and I in my family. I'll apologize to you on behalf of my nonexistent brother.

Students, place your backpacks on your desk.

How can it be you?

Why are you framing me for smoking?

I hate you!

Why are you bullying Ai Li Si?

Your name is Ai Li Si?

Don't touch! - Ah! Sorry!

I just wanted to see...

He Hao Yi!

What are you looking at?

Who's looking at you? I'm just looking at you not eating the egg white. What a waste.

I've always only eaten the egg yolk since I was young.

It's not because you want to eat, right?

No. You're my enemy.

You'll have to say something if you're hungry.

Are you sure? It smells so good.

Do you want some? I'm going to eat.

Hey!

What are you doing?

I'm helping you finish it! You should thank me!

You have craved for it for a long time. Why pretend that you haven't?

Fine. I'll share some of the soup with you in a bit.

You're not such a bad person.

Why did you prank me?

I told you I pranked the wrong person. I'm willing to apologize to you.

Well, who did you want to prank then?

Why would I tell you?

You're so petty!

Why were you at the swimming pool today yelling?

Tell me!

If you don't tell me, I won't forgive you.

I...

My dad already told me

that a man has to be independent, strong and opinionated.

He can't cry.

Throw that away. - I don't want to.

If you don't throw that away, you'll never learn to swim. Give it to me.

No, I don't want to.

Give it to me. Give it to me!

Give it back!

I hate Dad the most! I want Mom! I want Mom!

Hao Yi, you can't depend on that forever.

It will be taken away. Just like Mom and Dad.

We can't be by your side forever.

What am I going to do then?

You still have yourself.

A man has to be independent, strong and opinionated.

Even in times of difficulty, you cannot cry.

Then, what should I do when I want to cry?

Learn to swim.

When you want to cry, you can hide your tears in the water.

Okay?

What's wrong with you?

Don't cry.

I'm not crying.

I just feel that you have a really nice dad.

Isn't your dad nice to you?

Like you,

I only have my mom.

That...

Your mom... isn't bad.

Today, she came to the school to defend you. Super cool.

I guess.

Wait a minute.

How come you're here with your luggage in a comic book store cooking instant noodles?

Why did you run away?

I didn't run away. My dad passed away,

so I came to Taipei to find my mom.

Yeah.

Oh. Where's your mom then?

You ask a lot of questions.

What are you doing? Shh!

Stop! Shh!

Why is it suddenly so dark?

Quiet! Shh!

Who's cooking instant noodles?

Shhhh!

Shh!

It's you two! Stop running!

Hey! There's no one.

Scared me to death.

You run too fast. Did you do cross country or something?

I was the last leg of the relay race team.

Auntie!

Ai Li Si!

How come you're here?

A relative is visiting Taipei so I'm going to pick her up.

It's so late. Why are you still out with a friend?

We went to read comic books.

Oh, is he your classmate?

Yup.

Classmate?

Do you know Xiao Fen?

He doesn't know her. I'm the first classmate that he's met.

Oh.

Have we... met before?

Nice to meet you.

Mama Liu.

Sorry, I must've mistaken you for someone else.

I have to get going first. Invite your friend over to our house sometime.

Okay!

Bye. - Bye, Auntie!

Where do you want to go?

Huh?

Because of you, the comic bookstore is already out of of power.

Are you still going back?

Oh! Your luggage!

I'll go get it for you.

Forget it. If you go back now, you'll get caught. We'll wait until the employees trade shifts.

Where are you going to sleep then?

The first one.

Are you sure I can stay at your place?

Of course. You can sleep in my room. I'll sleep in my mom's room.

No, what I meant was

you suddenly bringing home a friend... your mom...

It'll be okay. My mom's a really nice person.

Come in!

Okay.

Ai Li Si!

Mom, lower your voice. You're scaring people.

Oh my goodness.

I gave birth to you. What kind of Taiwanese are you speaking?

I'm so pretty, if you didn't give birth to me, who did?

Why are you home so early?

Complaining that I'm home early?

Do you know what time it is?

Out with your boyfriend?

He's not my boyfriend.

He's my classmate. He just needs a place to stay.

Don't stand so close if he's not your boyfriend. Why are you so close?

Are you stuck together with gum?

You're so embarrassing.

Being caught at school with cigarettes

hasn't even been resolved yet.

Now you're bringing your boyfriend home. What is this?

Taking advantage of me not being home to fool around inside?

No!

Auntie. - Who's your auntie?

Mother Ai. Ai Li Si didn't smoke. I can be a witness.

How do you know she didn't?

Because I put the cigarettes in her bag. So I know.

Hold up. So you're saying you put the cigarettes

in my Ai Li Si's backpack. That's what you're saying, right?

Mom. Mom. You heard wrong. He said it wrong.

Ai Li Si was framed.

Why was she framed? Tell me! Hurry and say it!

I framed her.

Oh so you're the culprit! Framing my Ai Li Si. Stupid brat.

Come! Come! You come!

No! Auntie! I... - Mom! - Stand here and don't move.

I can't believe it. - No! Auntie! I...

I'm gonna kill you! Stupid brat! - Mom! Stop!

No! I was saying...

Mom! Mom! - I'm going to kill you!

MOM!

Listen to me.

Sorry. My mom insists on you sleeping in the living room.

Sorry.

It's okay. It's because she cares about you.

Yeah, I guess. You, a single male, sleeping in my room

seems a little weird.

But my mom is really overthinking.

Saying that she's scared I'm going to go wild.

Your mom cares about you and she raised you all alone. Of course, she would overthink.

With a mom that loves you so much, you're really lucky.

How about you? Have you contacted your mom?

Have we... met before?

Nice to meet you.

Mama Liu.

Sorry. I must've mistaken you for somebody else.

I've got a few leads.

But I just don't know if I should go find her.

I feel like I'm not prepared yet.

Prepared? What do you have to prepare?

She's your mom.

I feel like she doesn't want to see me.

Why wouldn't she want to see you? How can you think that?

What kind of mother wouldn't want to see her child?

Soon, when you see her everyday, you'll find her annoying.

Maybe she is 100 times more annoying than my mom.

Don't be so negative. Cheer up.

Okay. Fine. I know.

Are you okay?

I caught a cold from being pushed by you into the pool today.

Well, who told you to prank the wrong person?

Who was exactly your original target?

Ai Li Si! Hurry up and come sleep!

Okay!

I'm going to go sleep now.

There's water in the kitchen and food in the refrigerator. Make yourself at home.

Ai-Li-Si!!!

Okay! You keep yelling and yelling!

Good night!

Good night.

I told you I didn't want to sleep with you.

His sleeping posture is so bad.
