Old Boy (Lao Nan Hai / 老男孩)

I've already asked him.

He was born in July of 2001.

You and Xiao Wei married in 2000 in the seventh month of the Lunar calendar.

You divorced on New Year's Day of 2001. Right?

Calculate for yourself. Whose son is he?

This is nothing to joke about.

Xiao Wei never told me.

You can't be so certain.

I think you two are quite similar.

Come here!

Look, his eyebrows and eyes are exactly like yours.

Come here.

Go back. Go back.

See? You both scrunch your brows when you're angry. You're just the same!

He obviously got the genes from you!

Shi Fei, are you messing with me?

Stop playing with me.

I only asked you to send some flowers.

What did you do?

Why did you bring this to me?

What did I do? I just left a business card.

Hey.

Uh...

You...

- Did your mom say anything? - About what?

About me.

My mom never mentioned the name of any heartless rat.

See? She never said anything.

His mom never said anything.

It's clear now. It has nothing to do with me.

He's not my son.

You know Xiao Wei's personality.

She divorced you and realized she was pregnant.

Given her personality, would she go back to you?

I... Kid, we're not related.

We have nothing to do with each other. Got it?

Go back to where you came from.

See? See? His bad temper is just like yours.

Wait up! Don't go!

Hold it. Stop.

Can you calm down?

Don't take it to heart with your dad. He doesn't mean what he says.

This is a very serious matter.

Shouldn't you give him time to process it?

We were quite close to your mom back in the day.

Wu Zheng has suffered some setbacks at work lately.

He's actually quite nice and has a lot of personality.

Personality? It's disgusting.

You can't say that.

Your dad can fly planes.

He can also write. If you don't believe me, check his blog.

Big V. He has a bunch of fans.

Your dad can reach for the stars and swim with the turtles.

He can fly planes, scale mountains, snowboard, swim, and all that.

He's a great person.

He's a popular person.

That doesn't mean he has a good character.

He doesn't want me?

I don't want him as my dad!

He can pretend he had a dream and I was blind. Okay?

Don't leave.

Where are you going? I'll give you a ride.

No need. I'll get a cab.

You have to tell me where you're going. Do you have any other family?

I don't have any relatives. I'm going to a classmate's house.

Classmate's house?

Should I talk to your classmate's parents?

No. He's my best friend.

He drank with me. Fake alcohol.

We've fought together and been taken to the police station together.

He's not as unreliable as someone else!

I know. The one from last night, right?

Anything else you have to say?

Call me if you need anything!

Enough! Stop peeking, will you?

So you're eavesdropping! Why are you hiding?

You're squatting down, aren't you?

Your dad cares about you!

If Mom didn't die, were you going to keep me in the dark forever?

Was I not emotionally invested as well?

Besides, it was your mom's idea to keep you in the dark.

You don't even know where you'll take shelter.

You're worrying about a dog?

- What do you mean? - Kid.

Change that spoiled attitude of yours.

It's clear now. It has nothing to do with me.

He's not my son.

Kid, we're not related.

Go back to where you came from.

I might have to crash at your house for a few days.

No problem. You're always welcome.

What will we do if we have a child?

We haven't been married for long.

I don't want a kid ruining our happiness.

Having a kid might not necessarily ruin our happiness.

The kid is so tough.

I wonder who he's like.

He didn't even leave me with his number.

Shi Fei.

This is really all your fault.

You created so much trouble after going to one funeral.

If I didn't attend and leave my business card

would the kid not exist?

Don't complain about this for now.

He's 16 years old. You should take care of him until he's 18.

As I told him, he has nothing to do with me.

I don't care. You take care of this mess.

Why did you treat him to drinks last night?

What's this?

It's a father and son connection.

Eat more. All these dishes were made just for you.

Zhou Zhou said you like Western cuisine.

Don't be shy.

Thank you, Auntie.

You're so good to me. Thank you.

Dig in. I had my mom make your favorite roast chicken.

There better not be any leftovers.

Auntie, you didn't need to cook more. Just a normal meal would've been fine.

Of course I have to.

You are Zhou Zhou's best friend at school.

He said you've helped him out a lot.

I've wanted to find a good chance to properly thank you.

Of course, this isn't a very appropriate time though.

I'm not very good with words.

Anyway, I'm just saying don't be shy. Eat more. Treat this like your own home.

Yes, right. From now on, our home is your home.

My mom is your mom.

Okay? Don't keep staring. Eat up!

Come. Welcome.

Welcome, Xiao Han.

- Cheers. - Thank you.

The blue fruit in this is very expensive.

- Why don't we go somewhere else? - Right here.

This place has good food and the old man is nice.

- Hi, Auntie. - Hello.

Your vegetables.

- Wu Zheng, you're here. - Hello.

Hey, old man.

What would you like to eat?

What's fresh today?

The eggplant's good today. Why don't I make a homestyle eggplant?

- Okay. Just make us two dishes. - Okay.

- Add more sugar. - Okay.

Looks like Xiao Wei found out she was pregnant after divorcing you.

It hasn't been easy for her all these years.

I haven't been able to forget

her determined expression when she said she was divorcing me.

She was too stubborn.

But to be honest, I did owe her.

No matter what you say, you can't make it up to her now.

Treat the kid better.

No problem. I can be good to him. I can give him part of my wages.

But I really can't live with him.

What's your heart made of? It's so hard.

You try it. You're living a good life. You're content with what you have.

Then a kid this tall suddenly comes into your life

who stares angrily at you and calls you Dad.

Isn't that scary?

I can't do this. I don't have any affection for him.

Not even if I spend time with him.

You don't have the affection, but you have a blood relation.

I think you two are quite alike.

You haven't seen his foster father.

It's so obvious he's not his kid.

You have to accept him as your kid even if you don't want to.

Even if it's true...

I'm still not raising him.

It's not up for discussion.

Xiao Han.

Just live at my house. Don't worry about anything.

I think it's not too bad that your undependable dad wouldn't take you in.

Think about it.

He's an airline captain.

Your mom left him either because he wasn't doing well in life

or he has a flawed moral character.

By the way, I'm having trouble with my music.

Help me with it.

Thanks.

I never would've thought.

Good thing I didn't get a new one.

It's now become the only thing my mom left behind for me.

I remember that was your birthday gift. You were so happy with it at the time.

You even ran to the school and climbed over the wall

to go to the activities room and played all afternoon.

Back then, I didn't have any stress at school.

Nor any family problems.

My mom and dad--

I'm coming in.

Auntie.

There are a lot of things here.

Xiao Han, I got you pajamas.

It's new. I bought it for Zhou Zhou but he's never worn it.

I've already washed them. Try it on to see if it fits.

It smells fresh. Smell it.

Thank you, Auntie.

We're about the same height and weight. I'm sure it'll fit. Thank you.

You're so thoughtful.

I left in such a rush that I forgot to bring pajamas.

I thought of everything, didn't I?

If there's anything you need, don't hesitate to tell me.
