One year before the Spring Festival,
I participated in the bomb disposal,
when my first love happened to be there.
[2016] It's the New Year's Gala after the meeting.
It looks like
we're gonna celebrate the New Year together.
Yeah.
Captain Lu,
we found something suspicious
by the trash can in the backyard.
We've checked it with a detector,
and there's something wrong.
Evacuate the crowd first.
Yes, sir.
What happened?
They said nothing about it.
Let's go out first.
It might be a fire drill.
A bomb that explodes as the pressure on it is gone.
It has a simple structure.
A large part
inside the bomb
may hold clues about the perpetrator.
To protect these clues
and trace the manufacturer,
I suggest on-site demolition.
The crowd has been evacuated.
We agree on the on-site demolition.
Sir,
what's going on inside?
Nothing.
Just a routine check.
We're just waiting here.
Why don't we take a walk around?
It seems that...
According to my earlier search,
there's a rice noodle restaurant nearby
which is super famous.
How about this?
Liuzhou river snails rice noodles.
Not bad.
Let's eat first.
Let's go.
Go.
The detonator is successfully removed.
Congratulations, guys.
You can go back to celebrate the New Year.
Did your first love know it?
Nope.
We had broken up at that time.
Captain Lu,
what does your first love look like?
A couple of days ago,
the test scores came out.
Yours was not high.
You shouldn't have asked about his first love.
I've made an appointment
with the class adviser.
It's 3 p.m.
on the 8th day of the first lunar month.
You come to pick me up first that day.
See you at 1 p.m.
downstairs at my aunt's house.
Are you in a relationship?
You look distracted by your phone.
Nah.
You look just like a single man.
Those in our team who have wives
always report their safety
to their wives by phone when they come back.
Or the wives will surely be mad when they return home.
[Lu Zheng Automobile Repair]
Lu Chen,
you are busier and busier
with your work now.
You still work your socks off during the Spring Festival.
The Spring Festival is the busiest time.
Go ahead.
You've had enough fun outside.
And you still know to come back, huh?
Can I have a good talk
with you today?
I just want you to get married
instead of doing
anything evil.
But do you have to
treat me like this?
You really embarrass me.
How old are you?
Are you gonna remain single forever?
Hey, Lu.
He has been on duty for days before returning home.
He worked so hard.
So did we!
Did anyone
ever take care of us in our childhood?
I raised him with food,
but he doesn't listen to me when he has grown up.
Is that reasonable?
You once served in the police force.
Filial piety is paramount among all virtues,
and filial piety is everything.
Your father, who was a police officer,
also taught you a lot, right?
Why are you
even more immature as you grow older?
Think carefully.
We still owe money to the Zhaos.
I'll pay them back.
You don't have to pay even a cent.
D-Do you know
how much money we owe them?
I know.
That's good.
I can do nothing to help.
You're pretty tough now.
I knew it was worthwhile to bring my son up.
Lu Chen,
even if you
hold a great grudge against me,
you should come back for dinner once in a while.
Your mom is still at home, anyway.
Besides, I'm quite good
at cooking.
Tell me what you wanna eat
before you come back
so that I can prepare in advance.
Would you like something to eat?
No.
Let me sleep for three hours first.
I have something else to do in the afternoon.
Okay.
Get me
a formal suit
I'll wear it then.
You're going to see your future father-in-law.
Alright... I'll stop here.
Why are you so shy?
Here, take it.
Let me think.
I'll get you the most expensive one
and iron it for you.
I don't need the most expensive one.
Just gimme a medium-priced suit.
It's not your clothes.
So it's up to me.
Why did you come in a suit?
I'll meet Gui Xiao later.
No wonder.
She came
with the loan contract.
Go inside and sign it.
And then leave the rest to me.
Lu Chen.
Can I
talk to him alone?
This time,
I did something wrong.
But I want to marry you
sincerely.
I've never ever
had any feelings for you.
This is the first time
we've met alone
since our graduation.
Xiaoshan,
Hai Dong and I...
That was just a childhood thing.
It's meaningless to talk about it again.
No matter what feelings
you have for Lu Chen,
it's time to end them today.
Everyone knows what kind of person
his father is.
But Lu Chen grew up
without wronging anyone,
and neither did he ever
fail you, Zhao Minshan.
From beginning to end,
you've been up to something.
That's the end of this affair.
You two families
are no more than the creditor and the debtor.
If you still don't get it,
I'll get even with you from that year.
Get in.
I don't have any formal clothes.
So I'm wearing Hai Dong's suit.
Is it okay for me to meet the class adviser like this?
Sure.
It's my first time
seeing you in a suit.
I feel kind of weird.
I'm not used to it, too.
This place is still the same as before,
without any change.
Nothing has changed.
Captain Lu.
Hello, I've heard a lot about you...
Hello.
To get to know you,
I've searched all over the Internet for your interviews.
What a pity that there's only one article.
A great hero like you
should be promoted more.
Enough.
Sorry, Captain Lu.
My husband
just pretends to be passionate.
He's excited in front of others.
How can you say I pretend to be passionate?
This is my sister's first love.
Let's get down to business first.
Okay.
This class adviser
is an old teacher,
who's very responsible.
She specifically asked to meet
the Xiaonan's parents first
just to know the kid's
study and life conditions
and other things like personality.
I already called her
in advance,
and told her the kid's parents
were not in Beijing.
Just go upstairs and feel free to talk to her.
Anyway, it's all for Xiaonan
to get used to the new school life
as soon as possible.
Okay, thank you.
It's all my husband's fault.
I forgot to introduce myself.
My name is Xia Xia,
and I'm Gui Xiao's sister-in-law.
He is Wen Cheng,
Gui Xiao's cousin.
Let's go upstairs.
Okay.
Gui Xiao's first love
is so handsome
with a good figure.
That's enough...
Do you think they still have a chance?
I think so.
Coming.
Hello.
Mom!
Mom, we have some guests.
Sister, brother-in-law, come here.
Come in, please. No need to change your shoes.
Do you know her?
Hello, Mrs. Sun.
Hello.
This is Qin Xiaonan's uncle,
Lu Yanchen,
the one I mentioned to you
on the phone.
He just came back from Qining.
Come in, please.
Feel free to take your seats.
Sister,
he was the SWAT officer I talked about back then.
Excuse me.
Were you a SWAT officer before?
Yes.
And so am I now.
We thought you changed your job
when we saw you in a suit.
Do I look familiar to you?
It's normal that he doesn't know you.
Just a few years ago,
my sister and her classmate
went on a graduation trip
and encountered bad weather,
when we were trapped on the mountain, unable to get down.
Quite a lot of SWAT officers went to help us
go down the mountain.
Do you remember that?
My classmate had straight hair,
which was so long
to the waist.
I had curly hair,
long brown and curly hair.
I don't remember.
He carries out tasks every day.
Who knows how many people
he has helped and saved?
You are just one of them.
I just feel it's so rare.
Thank you.
Seriously.
Thank you so much.
This is my duty,
so don't mention it.
Mom, here you are.
Here.
This is the winter vacation homework.
Bring it back.
Xiaonan doesn't have to finish it all.
I just want him to get used to
the mode
of our winter vacation homework.
Just help him assimilate first.
We'll leave Xiaonan to you
from now on.
To quote your lines,
this is my duty,
so don't mention it.
Thank you.
Do you really have no memory of it?
I remember the mission and the time,
but not the people.
That mission came all of a sudden,
and our entire team went there.
The squadron of police dogs
was also searching for people everywhere on the mountain.
There were hundreds of tourists
in the scenic back then,
some of whom went really deep.
After several hours of search and rescue,
we searched all over the mountain.
So I couldn't remember those faces at all.
High winds, hypothermia, the narrow mountain roads,
and a large number of tourists.
In this case,
we had no time
to care about
different people's faces,
or whether it was the long hair or the curly hair.
You're right.
When I was in high school,
I often went shopping here.
In addition to this place,
I also went to the clothing wholesale market
next to the zoo.
One of my cousins was really good at bargaining.
Every time when I brought her out,
I could save a lot of money.
The cousin you met today
was a follower when he was little.
We didn't want to play with him.
So he just cried and complained to others.
Are these things
unfamiliar to you
now?
I haven't come back
since high school.
During the years in Qining,
I've been back
less than five times.
Actually, I don't know much
about today's Beijing
just like Qin Xiaonan.
Welcome home.
My brother's car is missing.
The traffic is too congested.
We can't find them now.
Let's contact them when we get there.
Actually, out of the only five times,
I did it twice to see you.
Why was it only once in my memory?
You came back
when I just went to college.
And when you asked to break up with me.
Did you come back at that time?
I'm calling my brother
to see if they've arrived.
Call them in five minutes.
OK.
The thing concerning Zhao Minshan
is over.
You look so happy.
Of course.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
I had something serious to do with you this afternoon.
So it was improper to talk about it.
This is also a serious matter.
Gui Xiao.
They've arrived.
Let's get off.
Are you out of your mind again?
I just subconsciously...
My sinful hand...
Sister, I didn't recognize
Chen's car just now.
That's why I honked.
Never mind, but why are you so nervous?
Let's go up from here.
Sister,
are you going to
spend a lot of money today.
Order whatever you want today.
It's on me.
Is there a budget limit?
A month's salary.
Is it enough?
I'll take a good look then.
Hello.
We'd like to order this.
OK.
How much of this
do you have today?
There's only one kilogram left.
That should be enough for four people.
I'll go check it with you later.
Okay.
And this one, too.
Okay.
The dishes here
are all offered
at the day's supply price,
just to keep them fresh.
Table 13.
Check, please.
Just a minute, sir.
Waiter, may I have the bill, please?
The gentleman who just left
has paid the bill.
Could you please show me the bill?
Okay, please hold on a moment.
Hello, madam.
Captain Lu is quite generous!
Sister,
your first love
is from a rich family, right?
Waiter,
please pack
the rest of the food for me.
Okay.
Thank you.
Get down to work.
This is the winter vacation homework
assigned by your new school.
Although the teacher didn't ask you
to finish it all,
you still should do it all
since you're free recently.
Don't slack off.
I'm going to dismantle some cars.
Go to bed if you're sleepy.
I'll sleep next door.
Some cars?
I can only see him tomorrow morning indeed.
Luckily, your family
run a garage.
There you are.
The barbecue I ate was quite good.
So I've packed some for the kid.
You don't look like you're in trouble.
You look good!
Why are you dismantling the cars?
I see.
You disassemble cars whether you're happy
or sad, right?
Chen.
I just came back from a business trip,
and my brother told me you were transferred to Beijing.
So I followed him to see you right away.
Good.
You haven't changed a bit over the years.
You haven't changed either.
I just finished my homework.
I'm going to bed.
Go ahead.
Is he your kid, Chen?
No.
It's my friend's.
I thought you got married
in Qining.
Nah.
He's waiting for Gui Xiao.
Stop talking nonsense.
Other people may have no idea about it,
but I know.
Gui Xiao in our class?
Of course. Who else can it be?
Chen and Gui Xiao were once in a relationship?
They
fell in love after graduation.
Many people don't know that.
Why didn't you tell me?
Why should I tell you?
What are you looking at?
Pour Chen a drink.
No.
It's my shift tomorrow afternoon, so I can't drink.
Don't drink directly with the bottle.
How can I drink it in this case?
Pour it into the glass.
Help yourself.
I'm so happy to see Chen.
Here you are, Chen.
I won't drink.
He already said that.
Thank you.
I'm fine.
Thank you.
Go continue to talk to my brother.
I'm fine.
Thank you, Chen.
Leave him alone.
Just let him throw up.
He'll be fine after that.
Come back and sit.
Sit.
His condition
reminds me of my past.
When Meng Xiaoshan got married,
I almost
drank to death in front of their house.
And in the next half a year,
I shed all my tears
of half my life.
Have you ever cried
for Gui Xiao?
It also counts if you cried secretly.
Have you cried for her?
What are you doing?
Since you already said it,
just finish the story.
She wanted to break up with me.
I called her over and over again.
She hung up every time.
She didn't even let me
say anything.
Then I didn't dare to call her.
I was afraid she would be scolded by her family if I called too many times.
Half a year after our breakup, [2012] I finally had a chance to return to Beijing.
And I had to leave the next day.
That night,
she still refused to meet me.
I didn't go home.
I stayed at the train station until dawn,
and then left directly.
I'm in Beijing.
Let's go out to meet.
♫ You gradually feel nothing about my sharing ♫
♫ Hang on to coldness ♫
Forget about it. ♫ I can't say good night ♫
♫ I once believed hard work would leave no regrets ♫
♫ But the ending is too bad ♫
♫ Who will shoulder it for me? ♫
♫ We said it would last forever ♫
♫ But we were separated in the end ♫
♫ I wait until I give up all resistance ♫
♫ Let time pass by ♫
♫ Never thought that love ♫
♫ Is not about the trials and tribulations ♫
♫ Not that easy ♫
♫ Let's wait until the turn ♫
♫ Still have expectations ♫
♫ In the night without you ♫
♫ I can't shed a tear ♫
♫ Street lights on the corner and the darkness I passed by ♫
You came back after you broke up, huh? ♫ Everything's too late ♫
I know you're single-minded.
But I didn't expect
you to have such deep feelings for Gui Xiao.
I should go back.
Wake up.
Let's go.
I'll pick up Qin Xiaonan tomorrow.
I have to send Hai Jianfeng back first.
His mom really loves him.
If he doesn't return in the middle of the night,
she'll scold either him or me.
See you.
Go ahead.
Chen,
wish you two all the best.
Did you buy it?
Who else could it be other than me?
Aunt Gui Xiao, of course!
You're not related to her.
Dare you take it at will?
No.
So,
I'm writing it down.
When I make money,
I'll take inflation into account
and pay her back together.
Good.
But remember,
you need skills to pay her back.
Don't break her heart.
Of course.
Let me see.
You're about to be as handsome as me.
What a narcissist.
I can't buy you clothes of really good brands
since I've been saving money these years.
But,
new clothes for Chinese New Year.
This is the custom.
I know.
Let's go and eat.
[Xie's Special Beef Noodles]
This is your Aunt Gui Xiao's favorite restaurant
when she was a student.
I want to eat what she likes.
Is this your son?
No. My nephew.
I thought you got married with that girl and had this kid.
Which girl?
You know what?
Your uncle
always brought that girl to eat noodles here before.
She looked so pretty,
and was really good at eating spicy food.
She ate one bowl of noodles
with half a bottle of spicy sauce.
It was summer,
and even I was sweating when I saw her eating.
Same as usual.
-Two bowls. -Okay. Just a moment.
What?
Don't you want to take the chance
of the Spring Festival to invite Aunt Gui Xiao to hang out?
Mind your own business instead of ours.
Were it not for Aunt Gui Xiao,
I wouldn't care about you.
Here are your noodles.
-Enjoy your meal. -Thank you.
Are you busy?
I'm off today.
Are you...
How is Qin Xiaonan doing?
He said
he missed you.
Me too.
I'll take him to see you.
Don't bother.
I'll go to meet him,
and visit Meng Xiaoshan by the way.
Your reward. g Xiaoshan by the way.
