[Adapted from the novel of the same name by Zhu Yi on www.jjwxc.net]

Sang Yan fought another student

for Wen Yifan.

As for the fight,

we've already settled it

with the injured student.

Now, what we need to handle

is the issue of your early romance.

We're not in a relationship.

That's right.

We're not in an early relationship.

My feelings for Wen Yifan

are one-sided.

Teenagers often have fantasies about love.

I understand that.

But you have such heavy schoolwork now.

You'll definitely get distracted by early romance.

Sang Yan,

can you turn your passion

into motivation for hard work?

You'll mature in university,

and there's plenty of time for dating then.

That's right.

Yes.

That's right.

Yifan's uncle,

you really should pay more attention.

You should care more about her.

Okay.

Alright, it's no big deal.

You can communicate.

That's it.

I'm off to class.

Stand properly.

The teacher was explaining so well!

Thank you, teacher.

Have some shame.

How can you be so shameless?

At such a young age,

you've already learned how to seduce men?

You need to focus on your studies!

You...

You startled me.

You really like her?

Is that even a question?

Son, well done.

Good taste.

You've got the same taste as me.

Even if you like her, just bear with it.

Wait until university, okay?

Right.

Let's go!

Go home!

Go home and pack your things!

Did you hear me?

Why do I need to pack my things?

Well, your aunt's brother

has a house in Beiyu.

We're planning to move there.

Listen,

after transferring schools,

you have to completely sever ties

with this guy!

Did you hear me?

Goodbye.

[Episode 7]
[A Secret...]

[3085 Days]

[Cutting Room]

[23rd Day of Living Together Officially]

[Sang Yan]

What time are you on duty until?

[Wen Yifan]

I'm about to finish work.

What's up?

[Sang Yan]

Could you help me pick up a pizza on your way?

Someone wants it.

Why doesn't he just order takeout?

Eating pizza during the New Year?

Is it because his girlfriend wants it?

Pick your favorite flavor.

Isn't what you're doing a bit scummy?

[Pizza Hut]

Why are so many people

eating pizza during the New Year holiday?

Why isn't it Duan Jiaxu?

There's no Duan Jiaxu here.

This is my roommate.

Roommate?

Female roommate?

You two are sleeping together?

We live in two rooms...

We live in two rooms.

We just share this apartment.

I knew it!

You're so pretty,

and my brother's so ugly.

You two could only be ordinary roommates.

Miss, my name is Sang Zhi.

I'm his sister.

My name is Wen Yifan.

Miss, let me do it.

Thank you.

Sorry for the trouble.

My mom won't let me eat Pizza at home.

So I had to come here to satisfy my cravings.

Who eats pizza during the New Year holiday?

Mind your business.

There really are a lot of people.

I waited half an hour to get this.

Eat up.

After you're done, go study.

You're still studying during the New Year holiday?

I'm in my senior year.

You came here because it was too noisy to study at home

with all the relatives around?

What relatives?

It's very quiet at home.

It's just me and my parents at home.

My brother's not coming back.

It feels pretty lonely.

Shouldn't you be back after the 8th day of New Year?

There are too many relatives at home.

We don't have enough room.

Miss,

were you my brother's classmate...

in high school?

Do you remember me?

Of course I remember.

You're the prettiest

of my brother's female classmates.

I was just focusing on food earlier,

and didn't recognize you immediately.

You're getting prettier too.

Miss, do you remember me?

Yes.

Do you remember?

When you were very young,

you once got lost?

Later, you asked me to help you find your brother.

You even promised to treat me to ice cream.

Oh, I remember.

I didn't get lost at that time.

But my brother said I was lost,

so I had to be lost.

What's wrong?

Miss,

I can't find my brother.

Is your brother

from our school?

Yes.

He asked me to wait for him at the overpass.

The overpass...

is over there.

I'll take you there.

Thank you, Miss.

Do you remember your brother's phone number?

I don't remember it.

What does your brother look like?

He...

is really handsome.

Everyone likes to play with him.

Which one is your brother?

That one over there.

Didn't I tell you to wait for me here?

How would I know this place?

What a coincidence.

She's my sister.

I'm going now.

Miss, thank you.

Let's eat ice cream together.

If you're free, let's go.

If it weren't for my brother's promise to buy me candy,

I wouldn't have helped him...

I wouldn't have helped him lie.

Let's go, Miss.

Let's go eat pizza.

I'm not hungry.

You guys go ahead.

By the way,

there's a lot of food

in these cabinets

and in the fridge.

Take whatever you want.

It's mostly your brother's stuff.

Wait, Miss.

How did you end up as my brother's roommate?

Just a coincidence.

It must be fate.

Are you eating or not?

Hurry up, go eat.

I'm going to work now.

You're such a bigmouth.

It's time to eat!

Go bring the other dishes over.

Why don't you ask Yifan to join us for dinner?

Aren't you going to invite her?

Since you two are roommates,

you should get along well.

Why are you talking like mom?

Besides, what's it got to do with you?

She's been good to me.

She even lets me take whatever I want.

Shouldn't you be polite with her?

She's nice to you,

but what's it got to do with me?

Invite her yourself.

I won't.

She's not my roommate, anyway.

I'm not polite, and you shouldn't be either.

Go.

Miss Yifan.

Please come in.

Miss,

my brother made a hotpot.

Come join us.

I'm not hungry. You guys go ahead.

Miss, you might not know,

but my brother and I

can never enjoy a meal alone.

Please.

Okay.

Let's go.

Are you hungry again so soon?

My brother says,

the New Year is all about family reunion, having hotpot.

Miss Yifan, please sit here.

Thank you, Sang Zhi.

You can call me by my nickname, Zhi.

Zhi?

That's really cute.

What are you laughing at?

What's wrong with her saying my nickname is cute?

Doesn't it sound like a maid's name?

Your name sounds like a eunuch.

You'd better say that in front of your dad.

Eunuch Yan.

By the way, Zhi,

you're about to take the university entrance exam, right?

Have you decided which university you want to go to?

Not yet.

I'm stuck between Nanwu University and Yihe University.

Are you confident about both?

Unless something unexpected happens.

So, your grades are good enough.

I'm just worried about a bad performance on the exam.

No need to worry so much.

And both universities

are pretty good.

They each have their own advantages.

The only thing is that Yihe is further from Nanwu.

Also, the climate there is different from here.

You should consider this point.

Miss, which university did you graduate from?

Yihe University.

No wonder you know so much about it.

What's your major?

Network and New Media.

Wouldn't Nanwu University be a better choice

for this major?

If we just talk about this major,

actually,

Nanwu University's is the better choice.

Then why did you choose Yihe University?

What are you looking at me for?

Keep talking.

I want to know, too.

What's the reason?

At that time, I didn't plan to apply for this major.

Maybe,

I misjudged

the cut-off scores,

so I applied to Yihe University.

I'm full.

What's wrong with him?

Why is he being so sarcastic?

By the way, Yifan,

can I ask you something?

Did you

ever date my brother?

No.

I heard from my parents

that my brother had an early romance

in high school.

I just remembered.

Little rascal.

What's up?

Let's go home.

I just started eating.

I want to stay a bit longer.

Mom and Dad will be home soon.

They asked me to escort you back.

Let's go.

No, I want to eat more.

Eat? Who can eat more than you?

What are you staring at?

Sang Yan, why do I feel

like you don't treat Miss Yifan well?

She's nice, isn't she?

She's gentle when she talks.

But just based on apparences,

you two are worlds apart.

With your attitude,

girls definitely won't like it.

What attitude?

Girls generally like

gentle,

good-tempered,

attentive,

and considerate guys.

It's fine if their family situation isn't great.

Like Jiaxu.

Who?

Jiaxu.

You're quite knowledgeable, huh?

So,

since you don't have the advantage in looks,

you need to work harder.

Don't just stay at home,

sitting around.

Does your brother have any other job

besides running the restaurant?

He did before,

but recently, I don't know why, he quit.

Do you also think

my brother is a bit idle?

Today, she even asked me

about your work.

Why don't you stop at the parking lot?

It's just a few steps.

You can go up by yourself.

You're not going home tonight?

Aren't you afraid Mom and Dad will break your legs?

Let me know when you're home.

Transfer the fare to me.

Leaving?

I knew you had something going on!

♪ The dust of lies and your wounds ♪

♪ All hide in your eyes ♪

♪ Jot down the wishes you've made before ♪

♪ Will you cherish my heart... ♪

You didn't go home?

It's too noisy at home.

Could it be noisier than here?

When I was little, I loved fireworks.

Does your family set off fireworks for the New Year?

Not often.

What about your sister? Doesn't she?

I don't focus on her much.

♪ Can you hold me in your freezing night... ♪

You didn't eat much earlier.

Are you hungry?

If you're hungry,

we can cook...

noodles.

Are you going to cook a whole package again?

They look so happy over there.

♪ Fate changes and the confessions come too late ♪

♪ The love that was once absent... ♪

[Fifteenth of January, Lantern Festival]

Just a reminder.

In a moment,

eat more, talk less.

You got it wrong.

What grandparents like

a granddaughter-in-law who eats in silence?

I'm afraid you'll spill the beans.

After all, my grandparents

aren't just ordinary elderly.

How so?

Back then, to chase my grandma,

my grandpa gave up his family business in Hong Kong

and came to Nanwu alone.

He's seen all kinds of people.

When your grandma was young,

she must have been a great beauty.

And not only

was she beautiful,

but her education was also excellent.

She was very well-known in Hong Kong's banking industry.

All the household rules

were set by my grandma.

My grandpa didn't dare to say a word.

Let's go.

Get out of the car.

Wait for me a second.

Let me prepare.

Please close the window for me.

What are you preparing for?

How's this?

Remember,

from the moment you step out of the car,

you're Wang Linlin.

Got it.

What's your name?

Wang Linlin.

It's not that I don't trust you,

I'm just afraid you'll slip up.

What's your name?

Wang Linlin.

Just forget about the past.

Today is the day to move forward.

I'm 1.68 meters tall.

I weigh 90 jin.

I graduated from Changsha Media University.

I grew up in Hunan.

After graduation, I came to Nanwu.

We met

at a classmate's birthday party.

We've been together a year and a half,

broken up twice.

Once because you bought the wrong bag,

and once because you overslept

and didn't pick me up.

The first breakup lasted two days,

and the second lasted three and a half days.

Later, you bought the right bag,

and I forgave you.

Where did you get all this from?

I've been reading your posts on Weibo.

I've also read your Moments

through Dian's WeChat.

Honestly, it's really hard to keep anything private

these days.

Should I

block you guys from my Moments?

What?

Miss Wen.

Morning.

There's something for you.

The lady who met you here last time

dropped it off this morning.

Is she a relative of yours?

Thanks, Uncle Zhang.

Alright.

Don't mention it.

I've gained five pounds.

What are we having for lunch today?

Today is the Lantern Festival.

How about

we go get some sweet dumplings?

That sounds good.

Let's go to the tea shop first.

Let's go.

Let's go.

[Zhao Yuandong]

Jiang,

did you get the red envelope?

I don't know

where you are living in Nanwu.

And you said you'd be working during the Spring Festival.

So, I sent it directly to your workplace.

You probably think,

with WeChat red envelopes being so convenient,

why go through the trouble of delivering it?

I just prefer

handing out the red envelope in person.

I always think about seeing you in person.

[To Wen Yifan]

[Jiang, wishing you great fortune and good health. - Mom]

Jiang,

Happy New Year!

What do you want?

Go buy it yourself.

I don't want anything.

I just want you to get better soon.

I'm fine.

Take it.

It's the New Year.

I want

to make a New Year wish.

May I?

I want

to take you out for another day of fun.

Anywhere is fine.

Just one day.

You've already taken me to many places.

Then, it's your turn to take us out.

When you get better,

I'll take you wherever you want to go.

Okay.

Ask your mom where she wants to go.

You need to make her happy.

[Jiang, wishing you great fortune and good health. - Mom]

Hello,

Jiang.

I've received your red envelope.

Thanks, Mom.

I'm glad you received it.

It's just a small token from me.

Some day...

when you're free,

I'll come see you.

Great.

I've been wanting to see you for a while.

I'll make you something delicious.

Let's do it this weekend.

What time do you usually finish work?

How about you come over after work today?

Are you in a rush?

Xin, come here.

My mom bought an extra bowl of sweet dumplings.

Let's eat together.

Coming.

Alright, see you after work today.

Okay, I'll wait for you.

See you at home.

Oh my.

Come on over.

Linlin, right?

Sit next to me.

Okay.

Uncle Ma,

time to eat!

Okay, I'm coming.

Ma, sit here.

But what about him?

Just sit here.

I'll go help Grandpa.

Grandpa,

let me help you.

Grandpa,

was Grandma happy since she came back this time?

She's okay, I guess.

But today,

you brought your girlfriend.

She'll be happy.

Really?

But her expression seems a bit off.

Help me

serve the dishes, quickly.

The dishes are ready.

Linlin,

you're in for a treat today.

My cooking

is top-notch in Nanwu!

Grandpa is amazing.

Then I'll definitely enjoy this meal to the fullest!

Good.

An,

introduce her properly.

Grandpa, Grandma, this is Zhong Siqiao.

Zhong Siqiao?

She's...

I am...

living near a bridge

called Zhong Siqiao.

Exactly!

My name is Wang Linlin.

- Right. - Just call me Linlin.

Ma,

where's the Zhong Siqiao Bridge?

It's newly built!

- Right, newly built! - Newly built.

Newly built.

Miss Wang,

I've heard so much about you.

Grandpa,

the dishes you made look so delicious.

It's a shame they're cold.

Let's eat quickly.

Grandpa, please.

- Try it. - Come on.

Quick, try it.

This is my grandpa's specialty,

Kung Pao Shrimp.

This is white wine.

I'll go get some tissues.

Are you alright?

Quick!

Linlin is from Hunan.

Grandpa thinks Hunan folks love spicy food,

so he added a lot of chili.

But you, being from Hunan, need to keep up!

Right.

Here, cheers!

Move aside,

or it'll spill on you.

Grandma,

let me help you with the washing.

I'm good at washing cars.

I'll help you.

Is it okay in this cold weather?

It's fine. It's not cold.

Grandma,

these essential oils

all have the function of refreshing.

When get sleepy while driving,

you can sniff them,

apply them behind your ears, or on your neck.

It'll immediately lift your spirits.

You've studied this?

I often use them when I work night shifts.

You have my grandson as your personal ATM,

why are you still working so hard?

I know

you're not Wang Linlin.

I just searched it on the map app.

There's no Zhong Siqiao Bridge

around Nanwu at all.

Since Zhong Siqiao isn't a bridge,

that must be your real name.

Grandma,

you're really too smart.

All you old and young ones

don't tell me the truth.

Grandma, don't be mad.

We were wrong.

But there's some good news.

Su Haoan has broken up

with the real Wang Linlin.

He asked me to pretend to be his girlfriend

just to get you home for the New Year reunion.

I know what my grandson thought.

I don't blame you.

But I am really curious.

As a young girl,

you can wash cars,

install things,

and aren't afraid to walk barefoot.

What do you do for a living?

I just help out with everything,

fixing things,

queuing for tickets,

talking to the elderly,

taking the elderly to see doctors, and more.

Is there this kind of job?

Yeah.

I even have a service app.

There's a QR code on the business card.

You can scan it and place an order.

[Zhong Siqiao]
If you ever need any help,

you can find me.

Great.

I'll make sure my grandson

gives you a good review.

Thank you, Grandma.

I'll continue helping you install it.

There's a massage chair left.

Jiang, you're here!

No need to change shoes. Just come in and sit.

Why are you dressed so lightly?

Isn't it cold outside?

This is for you.

Sorry, I should've helped you with it.

Come in and sit.

Come on, let's sit inside.

Isn't it cold outside?

You're dressed too lightly.

I'll go get you a cup of water.

I didn't visit you before

because I didn't want

to disturb you.

I haven't seen you for so long.

I'm a bit excited.

Here, drink some water.

Warm up your hands.

Look at you,

you've got so thin.

Haven't you been eating properly?

If you want anything to eat, just tell me,

I'll come over and make it for you.

No need.

I'm eating well.

Besides, I have a roommate. It's not convenient.

I still have things cooking in the kitchen.

Knowing you were coming,

I made sweet dumplings specially for you.

You loved hot sweet dumplings when you were little.

Today

is the 15th day of the New Year.

This is when the family should reunite.

Here.

Hurry, eat it while it's hot.

Jiang,

you've grown up

and looked even prettier now.

Why don't I see Uncle Zheng?

And where's Zheng Kejia?

They

took her grandma back to their hometown.

No wonder you insisted I come over today.

Mom.

Mom.

Xin!

Why did you come down?

Who is he?

I told you last time

I wanted to introduce someone to you.

This is him.

He's the son of me and your Uncle Zheng.

He's your real brother.

His name is Zheng Kexin.

Mom, who is she?

She's your sister, Jiang.

She's also my child.

She's your real sister.

Why didn't you mention her to me?

She didn't mention you to me either.

Let me explain.

I was quite old

when I had him.

I even had a miscarriage before...

Xin!

Xin!

Who's this?

Isn't that Jiang?

How many years has it been since we last met?

Let me take a good look at you!

She was embarrassed to see you.

What's embarrassing about that?

Jiang is not an outsider.

Come on,

let me take a good look at you.

Look at you,

you're so ungrateful.

You studied out of town for years

and never came back to see me,

honestly.

Why is she here?

It's a coincidence.

Your aunt just happened to come over.

Jiang, don't act like that.

Jiang,

what are you doing now?

By the way,

my head hurt earlier, and my throat's sore.

Go get me some medicine.

Okay.

I'll get it for you.

By the way,

I have to tell you something.

Your cousin Wen Ming

is getting married this year.

Congratulations.

What's so great about it?

They got the certificate,

but they haven't settled on the wedding house yet.

So what?

You see,

before,

we took care of you for so long.

You should at least help him.

After all, you're just a girl.

You don't have many expenses.

Right?

Aunt,

I knew a lady lately.

She's very rich.

She's not very old,

two years younger than you.

How about this?

I could introduce her to Wen Ming.

That way, you won't have to worry about the wedding house.

What nonsense are you spouting?

That's the only way I can talk to you.

If I knew you were such an ungrateful person,

I shouldn't have taken care of you back then!

What's wrong, Jiang?

I am going

to cook for you.

I won't come here anymore.

This is the last time I'll be here.

All of you people...

I don't want to see any of you again.

I came for my dad's sake.

Before my dad passed away, he told me

to take good care of you.

I have no choice but to follow his will.

Just consider it like I died with my dad.

You're talking nonsense.

Dad didn't die.

Xin,

her dad isn't your dad.

Don't worry.
