Fleet of Time (2014)

[bunniefuu]

Hey, sweetie

What are you up to?

It's still early here

It's only 11:00 p.m. in our motherland

You're about to get off work?

I'm at this party
full of old people in their 30s like you

I have

You know this game,

called "I have"?

I have once,

against the freezing wind

in winter,

and peed as far as ten meters!

Ten times on one night!

All kinds of bullshit.

I once did it with my brother...

Your brother?

My brother's boyfriend!

What you have done is all bullshit,

and bullshit is for old men.

I have once

skipped 13 points

in the College Entrance Exam, for a girl.

Thirteen points!

Who can top that?

I challenge you.

Some idiot is saying he gave up 13 points
in the College Entrance Exam for a girl.

Old man,

what you did was cool, if it's true.

Thanks

My name is Seven,

what's yours?

Chen Xun.

You have to take responsibility for this.

I was a virgin.

Do you have to be so dramatic?

- Don't worry. I never sleep with old men.
- And I never sleep with virgins.

- What do you do?
- Accounting

ACCOUNTING THEORY

-Oh, bookkeeper
-Book-keeper my ass

I'm a senior analyst.

- Have you read this book?
- No.

I guess you were too busy dating

that 13-point girl of yours.

- Who?
- The one you mentioned last night.

She was your first love?

Stop filming me.

- Did she sleep with you?
- No

- You didn't do it? I don't believe you.
- Believe whatever you want.

When did you two meet?

How long has it been?

Fifteen years.

Fifteen years already.

I didn't realize it's been so long
since our story started.

Before all the memories fade away,

what can I still recall?

The verdant leaves on campus,

the sweet smell of grass in the sun,

the whistling and laughter in
sports class,

the puddles by the stone tables
after the rain,

the corners of my brand new desk
and chair,

the fragrance of the freshly printed
textbooks,

and us, running across campus.

I can't remember

how that girl in a white dress

appeared before our eyes,

but I do remember

what she looked like, on the playground.

It was the day

that she transferred to our school.

What's her name?

Do you remember?

Fang Hui.

Her name is Fang Hui.

Alas!

So precarious,

and so high!

Alas! So precarious, and so high!

Climbing the paths in the Shu area

is like

climbing up to the sky.

This is Zhao Ye, gullible and
unsophisticated.

I'm almost ashamed to say this,
but he is the best friend I have.

This is Qiao Ran, the artist,
always gentle,

always calm,

but he's really not
the gentleman he seems.

This is Lin Jiamo.

She became the apple of Ye's eye

ever since the first day of school,

but actually she's crazy,

disconnected from the Qin area,

disconnected from the Qin area.

This is Fang Hui.

Back then, we didn't know that
so much would happen between us,

enough to affect our lives.

Hey, you two,

have you talked to her?

She's so stubborn.

Back then,

I was just curious about
this girl who didn't like to talk,

wondering what she was like.

I just wanted her to say something to me,
or even just to glance at me.

Looks like I have to do it myself.

Let me do it.

Alright, you do it.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Come here. Let's eat.

Pay attention now.

She is coming over to talk to me.

Bullshit!

Who didn't write their name on the
history homework?

Who didn't write their name on
the history homework?

That's me.

Why don't you write it for me?

Serves you right, Mr. Class Monitor.

What's that got to do with me?

You're such a pathetic bunch.

Hui, come eat with us.

I'll grab that for you.

Get up.

Hui, sit here.

Move over.

Jiamo,
I'll trade my milk for your potatoes.

Why would I want so much milk?

More milk, bigger boobs.

You dirty bastard.

If you want more potatoes, have mine.

I'll have your chicken leg.

Why would you want so much chicken?

This blackboard journal competition...

SENIOR FIRST GRADE
CLASS ONE

...will affect the image of our class

We can't afford to come in last place
like last time.

Chen Xun, you're the Class Monitor.

What do you suggest?

I suggest

that we have a new
Publicity Representative.

Who do you recommend?

Fang Hui.

Chen Xun.

Finally, you're talking to me.

I can't do the blackboard journal.

- Rebound!
- It's a miss.

Sorry. Sorry.

I have to go.

I left my homework in the classroom.

- When will you get back?
- You guys go ahead. Don't wait for me.

Even after so many years,

I still remember

that moment when she turned to me.
It was that moment when I fell for her.

Later, Hui told me that

every day after school,

she would make a detour by
the basketball court, just so that

she could see me.

She also knew that

I wore the uniform inside out,

so that she could easily pick me out.

Our joy filled up

every corner of the campus.

Morning.

Morning.

The weather's great.
The flowers are blossoming.

This is the lilac,

my favorite flower.

The lilac, huh?

Have you ever seen a lilac
with five petals?

Usually they have four petals.

But some have five,

due to genetic mutation, so it's said.

I don't think I've seen one.

If you look hard enough, you'll find one.

It brings happiness to those who find it.

FANG HUI LIKES CHEN XUN

How many times do I have to say this?

Those on duty need to clean
the blackboard!

Go back to your seat. Everyone's watching.

Take her to the infirmary.
Go, now!

- Ran, let me do it.
- Go, go, go! The infirmary!

We need one of the two flag-raisers
to come back.

Why don't I carry her?
Let me carry her.

It's okay. Almost there.

Let me do it.

You didn't have breakfast?

Nothing serious. Low blood sugar.

Go get her some food.

I'll go.

- Which one?
- He can go.

Lie down here.
I'll prescribe some nutrition for you.

What happened this morning,
please don't let it bother you.

I know.

Do you?

- You were crying all morning.
- I wasn't.

Really?

How about this?

Tomorrow morning,

I'll write on the blackboard,
"Chen Xun likes Fang Hui."

Don't do that.

Why? I want to do it.

I do like you.

Tell me, do you like me or not?

You only need to answer "Yes" or "No."

Yes or no?

Excuse me,

is your name Fang Hui?

Sophomore Class 1.
I need to mark you down.

Yes,

or no?

Yes or no?

Yes or no?

Yes or no?

I'm asking you a question.

Yes or no?

Yes.

Food is here.

They didn't have anything

that could boost your blood sugar.

I don't know what you like,
so I just grabbed a bit of everything

Here. Plums.

- Thank you.
- Bread.

What were you talking about?
Feels like something serious happened.

Fang Hui,

help me hand out the homework.

I don't think

the millennium worm is scary at all.

What's really scary is
the end of the world.

What's so scary about that?

Watch it! Are you blind?
If you can't skate, piss off!

Sorry. Sorry.

Fang Hui.

So this slut is your girlfriend now?

- Some guys just like b*tches, I see.
- What did you say?

Watch your mouth.

- I'm gonna hit you!
- Stop pushing me!

b*at him up.

b*at him up.

Stop it.

b*at him up.

- Wow.
- Wow.

Hui!

- b*at him up!
- Hui,

run!

Xun, let's break up!

When did they two hook up?

We were really a couple?

Piss off!

Hui told me that

that hoodlum is a friend of Li He's,

and Li He was a gangster.

When she was at her last school,

Li He would be waiting every day
on her way home,

courting her in numerous distasteful ways

and telling everyone that Hui was
his woman.

It was a time

when Hui felt so scared and helpless.

One day, Hui was mugged
at the school gate.

Li He immediately rushed over to
b*at the guy up.

During the fight, he fell down,

and never got up again.

From that day on,

Li He's friends forced her to wear a
white flower

until she transferred to our school

and met me.

Her story pained me
and touched a soft spot in my heart.

I wanted to make her every promise
there was

and walk with her, without a word,

to the end of the world.

Hui, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I didn't know.

Don't say you're sorry.

The words "I'm sorry",
don't say them, ever.

It sounds as if you owed me something.

Hui.

Nothing.

Hui.

Nothing.

Hui.

What?

Nothing.

Hui.

What is it?

Nothing. I like saying your name.

I love hearing you respond to that.
Excuse us.

- Hui.
- Yeah?

- Hui.
- Yeah?

- Hui.
- Yeah?

Hui.

Yeah?

Hui.

Yeah?

Hui.

Yeah?

Hui.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

WISH EVERYONE HAVE A HAPPY 2000

Xun.

You finally showed up.

Most important man in my life.

It's just so awesome

to see you.

I'm not inviting all those relatives
I don't even know,

or those business connections.

Mr. Zhao, about the flowers.

Roses. Do you even have to ask?

I'm only inviting
those old friends that we had,

just so we can have one last awesome time

before we grow old.

Did you invite Fang Hui?

I knew you'd ask.

I did send out the invitation,
but I don't know if she got it.

Here.

Try this on for me.

Cute.

Thank you.

Damn it.

Did you get that?

You're everywhere.

- What do you do exactly?
- She's an artist, back from France.

Cost me a lot of money.

I'm sh**ting a video for
Mr. Zhao's wedding.

I've seen a lot of wedding videos

that are stupid,

repetitive, or disgusting.

- Just don't make those things.
- Then what exactly do you want, Mr. Zhao?

Youth.

A tribute to our youth.

The kind that's awesome,

reckless and magnificent.

What are you doing?

- My wedding, why film him?
- Film him.

Hang on one second. His interview
is not over yet.

What have you been talking about?

First love.

When most people recall their first love,
they usually look like this,

happy,

sentimental,

as if even sh*t smells good.

My first love was a joke.

When I fell in love

for the first time in my life,

she was in love with someone else.

Let's play a game.

What game?

Let's sit back to back and write down
the names of the person we fancy.

Then we'll look, alright?

Okay.

- I'm done. You can look now.
- Hang on. Hang on.

I'm not done yet.

Just give me one second.

I'm done.

SU KAI

ZHAO YE

The name "Lin Jiamo,"

way too many strokes

for just three characters.

I once heard that

it takes only one second

of awesomeness to fall in love
with someone.

I had my chance of making someone
feel awesome,

but for some reason,

things turned out that way.

Wow!

From that day on, I realized that,

the most important thing for a man

is the pose he strikes.

- We are...
- ...the champions!

- We are...
- ...the champions!

- We are...
- ...the champions!

Look at him. He plays so well!

- Who?
- My Su Kai of course.

He's the captain of the school team.

Thanks.

Hui,
do you have any bills with the letters SK?

What is SK?

S for Su,

and K for Kai.

Su Kai.

I'd like a yogurt.

One. Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

Six.

Excuse me.

This is a gift from Gao Yiyi in our class.

She asked me to give it to you.

Beep 52446.

The message is,

I like you.

I just really like you.

Su Kai, go for it!

Back then, I felt that I was so like her.

Now I understand.

Back then, we were

two backups.

Didn't Qiao Ran write an article
that summer?

This guy Ran needs a good interview.

Back in 2000, we didn't know who
Guo Jingming or Han Han was.

The New Concept Writing Competition

meant only one name: Qiao Ran.

Qiao Ran. Qiao Ran.

A Blossom of Lilac,

by Qiao Ran,

Junior Class 1.

Every spring,

when the lilacs are in bloom,

I would think of her,

a girl just like lilac.

Who?

I can't recall

when exactly I started paying attention
to her.

If time could be divided into images

like the frames in a film,

the first image of her

that flashes in my memory

is that of her by a lilac tree.

It was a bright morning in spring.

As she was walking by the lilac,

a sudden breeze

brought the white four-petal flowers

down on her hair

and shoulders.

It was like a flower shower just for her.

She looked up
from among the flowers,

and smiled at me.

It was such a warm and bright smile that
as soon as I think of it,

it's as if lilac blossoms fill up my
entire world.

Someone told me that

five-petal lilacs can bring happiness,

so I collected many of them,

so many, in fact, that I started doubting
that saying,

but I never

had enough courage to give her one.

Finally,

on a day filled with the sweet smell
of lilacs,

I picked a five-petaled lilac and
gave it to her.

If this lilac really works,

I want her to have my share

of the happiness as well.

I love lilacs.

White ones and violet ones,

I love them both.

I like her.

Whether she's mine

or not,

I like her all the same.

I will remember

that morning in spring.

Will she ever forget?

Ran is coming back for my wedding.

You'll have to sing that song you wrote.

What's it called again?

"Fleet of Time."

That song is called "Fleet of Time."

I wrote it for Hui.

What I wouldn't know was that

even to this day,

Hui has never heard this song that
belongs to her.

Back then, we thought life only
consisted of new encounters.

We didn't know that

there would also be missed chances,

regrets,
and things we didn't have time to do.

Hey.

I wrote a song for you,

called "Fleet of Time."

Here it goes. Don't laugh.

Hui,

who are you on the phone with?

Our parents knew about us.

So did the school.

Did they scold you?

All of a sudden, we became strangers.

She stopped talking to me between classes,

or having lunch with us,

or leaving school with me at the
end of the day.

As for me,

all I could do was keep wearing
the uniform inside out,

just so she would know that.

I was there.

Please return this to Miss Gao Yiyi,

and tell her that,
as young people of this new era,

we shouldn't think these things.

Read more books and newspapers,
eat less junk food and get enough sleep.

Spend more time on our studies.
Understand?

What a jerk.
Books and newspapers my ass.

Don't pay attention to him.
Let's go inside.

I really don't want to give up like this.

That guy doesn't even care about you.

If I can't be his girlfriend,
I'll be his friend.

I'll watch him play ball,

buying him water,

beeping him from home,

waiting for him after school,

saving up my SK money,

and doing all kinds of things for him.

When he graduates,

I will be able to stand before him,
and tell him with pride

that I do like him very much.

Zhao Ye.

I won't hold up the trophy.

You will. You will hold it up.

I can't even hold up the trophy.

Wipe me.

I just want the Millennium Cup,

but not for myself.

Do you understand what I mean?

Do you?

I do.

I do.

You don't understand anything.

- Cut it out.
- It hurts.

How about this?

Whatever game you miss, I'll play for you.

Whatever trophy you can't hold,
I'll hold it for you.

I swear,
the championship will be yours.

Let's give our support to Ye.

Come on.

Give me some time.

Lots of strokes in my name.

Su Kai, go for it!

Where's Hui?

Is she here?

Her father just took her home.

Do your best.

Don't get hurt.

Help him out
when he is outnumbered.

You two back off.

Coach,
what's our strategy for the next half?

You're the best!

We are the champions!

Go for it!

- Go for it!
- Chen Xun!

Go for it!

Go for it!

Defense! Defense!

Su Kai, go!

EXPERIENCED SCHOOL
YU CAI SCHOOL

Go slam a few.

I can't.

I really can't. You go.

Some champions you are.

What do you know? We were awesome
back then.

This guy here,

a three-pointer
before the game finished.

You're kidding me, right?

I'm telling you, those girls
from junior high swarmed around him,

and wanted to make babies with him
right there.

I go make some babies... No.

I need to go get married.
You two continue.

So many were cheering for you,

and yet you only hugged her.
That was kind of romantic.

- Who?
- Fang Hui, of course.

She must have been the first to run over.

She didn't worship me.

She didn't even show up.
Her father took her home.

She never talked about it.
Is it important?

Not anymore?

If she had shown up,

I'm saying if, she would have seen me
at my most awesome moment.

When all the girls wanted to make
babies with me,

I would only hug her.

Cut it off. You only value

that your most awesome moment

was witnessed by her.

Am I really that pathetic
in your opinion?

Old man,
has it ever occurred to you that

maybe she did make it that day?

Hui.

Where are you going?

Chen Xun!

Chen Xun!

Chen Xun!

Chen Xun!

Chen Xun!

Chen Xun!

Chen Xun!

Chen Xun!

Chen Xun!

Chen Xun!

Chen Xun!

After that basketball game,

we went on to Senior Year,
facing the College Entrance Exams.

During that time,

Hui and I spent all our time studying,

and didn't talk to each other.

SENIOR THIRD GRADE
FIRST CLASS

This was the point

where our lives parted ways.

So many possible futures,

but I didn't know which one

was waiting for Hui and me.

One. Two. Three.

Hui, wait up.

I promise you that

I'll end up in the same university
as you,

and that we will never be apart.

I swear!

How did you do?

I made a mistake solving the last problem.

That's 13 points gone.

I won't be going to the same university
as you.

Don't worry.

Do well in the next few exams.

We will be going to the same university.

Happy Graduation!

When time stops and night is the
same as day,

when trees and flowers wither and die,

I still won't part with you.

I won't part with you.

Your smile is what I live for.

Let our life together be exciting
and carefree.

We'll gallop on horses
and enjoy prosperity.

We'll hold up our drinks and sing
happy songs.

And our best years will
be well spent together.

Let our life together
be exciting and carefree.

We'll gallop on horses
and enjoy prosperity.

Jiamo. Jiamo.

You can't drink like this.
Bad for your health.

You drink milk,
and I'll drink beer.

Alright. I'll down it.

You do what you please.

Bottoms up.

Hui,

why are you drinking so much?

Are you out of your mind?

Ran,

I flunked the exams.

My life is over.

You said I would be happy.

I don't think that's possible now.

What are you talking about?

You will be happy.

I won't allow it otherwise.
You have to be happy.

Hui,

there's a question I've always wanted
to ask you.

If, back then,

it was our names on the blackboard

instead of yours and Xun's,

would you like me instead?

Can I get a hug then?

Sorry.

If I had given you a hug,

maybe things wouldn't
have ended like this.

I have so much regret

and hopes.

Are you aware?

I love you.

It's a faith that's clear and strong.

I love you.

It's a strength that bears warmth
and courage.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

Silly girl,

I know.

I know.

Will we be together for always?

Yes.

Will we get married?

Yes.

Will we have children?

Yes.

Will we have a home of our own,

to cook and wash dishes
and make the bed and do the laundry in?

Yes.

When we get old,

will we still hold hands like this?

Yes. Yes. Yes.

The 29th Olympic Games will be hosted in.

CHINA WILL HOLD OLYMPICS

Beijing.

Back then we didn't know what
"forever" meant.

It was much later that I learned that
forever is neither the past

nor the future.

The time we spent together,

that was our "forever."

Where are the drinks?

Honey. Honey.

- Mrs. Zhao.
- Look, such a mess!

No music, and no drinks!

I'm losing my mind!

And some of those people are
not your relatives.

Get these things out of here.

It's the wrong place. Listen to me.

Lin Jiamo.

Jiamo.

Seeing you

feels awesome.

Get out of my way.
I'm ordering you a wedding gift.

SUNING SHOPPING

So you've become a fashion editor.

I sell clothes.

We're the same business.

We should work together someday.

Lin Jiamo.

Where were we?



- You went to university.
- They went to university.

Not my business.

Chinese.

Seventy-nine.

Mathematics.

Thirty-eight.

English.

Fifty-two.

Students, do not miss out on this bargain!

Universities College Entrance Exams.

They can all kiss my ass.
I will sell some clothes.

Back in 2001,
no Xiaomi, no Vancl,

and no M-Zone.

I realized the immense potential

of the student market years
ahead of them.

Is that awesome or not?

SUNING SHOPPING

Su Kai.

Lin Jiamo. What are you doing here?

I'm going to this university as well.

You know,

I applied to only one university,

because it was the only university that
I wanted to go to.

I'll see you around.

Wait, it's still early.

Let's talk.

I want to tell you something.

There's something I've been wanting
to give you.

What is it?

Do you remember this?

Jiamo, you've always been

like a little sister to me.

Let's have lunch sometime.

I realized that

all my efforts were for nothing.

I've just been promoted to Vice President
of the bank.

That's nice. Congratulations!

President watching,
and the employees watching from below,

it's not an easy job.

Su Kai.

Lin Jiamo.

Long time no see.

I heard you're doing well.

Do you manage your finances?

There's a great fund I want to recommend.

I wouldn't tell you if we're not close.

Here is my card if you're interested.

Call me.

Here is all the SK money I saved for you.

I only learned on that day that
he had been waiting for me

ever since school started.

I started weeping.

Not sure if I had feelings for him or
I was moved,

I just wept.

Come back another day.

After high school came university,

we were still two backups,

but this time, we ended up in the
same wagon,

racing down the road together.

It was a happy ride.

Hell, don't tell me this guy
was in your class too.

Xun.

Ran.

A month before the exams,

I received the offer from the University
of Edinburgh.

On the first day of the exams,
my visa was approved.

So I didn't even

show up at the exams.

I decided that

some things should be left here

It was a long flight to England,

more than ten hours.

While flying, I had a dream

I dreamed about

a hug.

- Isn't that?
- Who?

Everyone was so young back then.

Haven't seen her since graduation.

Look at what you've turned into.

- You're rough.
- You're old.

- You're disgusting.
- You're vulgar.

Honey, what is it? Let me see.

Lin Jiamo,

your face was so big back then.

Why now?

Injections.

- Honey.
- Can I touch it?

- Honey.
- Injections. I knew it.

Where did you have the injections?

I want to ask her about the injections.

Hello. Suning.com.

- Here is your delivery.
- What is this?

What?

A secret that belongs to you.

Who needs milk these days?

Who is it from?

Me.

I've had

more than my share,

and you have found your better half.

Thank you.

Thank you.

She's still the same.

Excuse me?

You saw her, didn't you?

Do you still think of her?

I don't even know where she is.

Have you ever thought about
looking for her?

What do you mean?

Are you not able to find her?

Didn't you agree to go to
the same university?

We did go to the same university.

Then your promise was fulfilled,
was it not?

I always thought that

all promises were meant to be fulfilled.

As soon as we grew up,
we could be together forever.

But the university was big,

so big that we had to attend
different courses,

take different paths,

and meet different people.

It was only later that I realized,

like most couples,

we were meant to part ways as well.

- He's so cute.
- Which department is he in?

- Accounting.
- Name is Chen Xun.

- I like him so much.
- Me too.

Don't get scared of how I look.

I'm actually very adorable.

I looked left and right, up and down.

Turns out every girl is quite complicated.

I wondered and I wondered,

but a girl's thoughts are hard to guess,

Chen Xun, is it?

How about singing?

What do you mean?

With who?

Me.

Look, that's Chen Xun.

Where? Chen Xun.

I see him too.

Let's go.

Hui,

this is...

I'm Chen Xun,

Fang Hui's boyfriend.

Let's go.

She's his girlfriend?

How did they two end up together?

I have no idea.

You never told your roommates

that I'm your boyfriend?

You've never showed up since
school started.

High school was different.

We were in the same room.

University is not high school, everyone
doesn't need to know you're my boyfriend

I want to spend time with you.

I know,

but we're both busy,

and we have different courses.

Yeah, we have different courses.

I'm off to class.

Don't go.

Today, I'll play the guitar for you,

alright?

Even so, I have to go to class.

Skip the classes.
I want to spend the day with you.

Wait till my birthday, then.

Okay.

- Chen Xun.
- Shen Xiaotang.

You didn't go to class?

How come you're not in class?

I skipped it.

Let's go.

This girl is called Shen Xiaotang.

She's different from Hui.

Hui is like my land.

No matter how high and how far I fly,

as soon as I see her,

I see my way home,

but Xiaotang

is a bird that can fly with me.

Kuang Qiang, did you bang some girl again?

- Stop taking our food again.
- I'm making up for lost strength.

Yesterday,
I went to visit a friend in Xidan,

and I ended up with a girl.
One look,

and I knew she was a virgin.

I thought, "sh*t,

another tough battle."

I worked half the night to score her.

Today I'm exhausted.

It's like losing half a kidney.

Bullshit.

It's all true.

Chen Xun,
where are you going at this hour?

To meet my girlfriend.

Take this.

I won't need it.

It's for your own good.
If she's knocked up, you're finished.

No, thanks. We haven't done it yet.

How long has it been?

Three years, almost.

Three years.

We're not dirty like you guys.

Our relationship is not based on that.

Thanks.

Let's spend more time,

together, tonight.

Maybe not today.

Bubble gum.

You like it?

Strawberry flavored.

Next week,

when my birthday comes,

let's spend the whole day

together,

- alright?
- Alright.

Tomorrow we'll have Accounting 101.

You'll be attending too, right?

Take my text book,

and save me a seat.

Alright, alright.

Who is it, calling you at this hour?

Hello?

Did you stay up all night?

Look outside.

Here. Here. I'm here.

What are you doing? Aren't you cold?

Look there.

The sky is so pretty.

Let's go see the flag-raising ceremony.

You were having an affair.

Bullshit.

What's to like about Xiaotang?
She has bigger boobs than Hui?

Were you seriously that horny?

Stop. Stop.
Will you let me finish?

It was not what you think.

At that time,

there was nothing

between Xiaotang and me.

If you have to put a reason to it,

then it must have been.

Fate.

Thanks. Fate.

You know,
many things just happened.

Turns out fate has two sides as well.

- Wei Juan.
- Here.

He Zerui.

Here.

Peng Ruifang.

Here.

Chen Xun.

Chen Xun.

Chen Xun.

Here.

Wu Xiaoyu.

Here.

- Huang Lina.
- Here.

Fang Hui.
You're carrying so much stuff.

- Where's your boyfriend?
- We have different courses.

- Come here.
- Sorry, I'm late.

There's only going to be me today.

Where's Xun?

He's busy,

and we have different courses.

Your boyfriend not have
lunch with you?

He's in class,
and we have different courses.

Are you sure?

What's going on?

Is this a trial?

What have I done to you?

And you, what are you filming for?

How would you know what happened?

I don't,

but I know Hui waited for you.

I was waiting as well,

for her birthday.

By the way, I'm really curious.

Who the hell are you?

Why are you so interested in our past?

What do you really want to know?

You know,

on her birthday,
I was going to sing for her.

It was December 29, 2001,

right?

I remember that day.

I remember it well.

It was her first birthday after I left.

On that day, I went on QQ messenger,

and talked to her for a long time.

I probably said too much.

Most of it was not important anyways.

Only the last line was what I really
wanted to say:

Happy Birthday.

How are you doing?

I wish you the best.

Fine.

She wrote just this one word.

One word was enough to make me realize

that she was not enjoying that birthday.

Nothing could be worse than that.

It was Hui's birthday.

How did you spend it?

What happened between you two?

Big guy.

Get up. Help me take attendance in class.

Please, it's Saturday.

There is no class.

What happened?
What happened to you?

Aren't we spending your birthday together?

I am busy with the party

that I forgot.

Why didn't you tell me?

It's all my fault.

Let me take you to the hospital.

Don't be angry.

Hui, I'm sorry. It was my fault.

I've really been so busy lately.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.

I'm sorry, Hui.

Don't tell me you're sorry.

I never want to hear it from you, ever.

Xun,

if you find yourself in love with
someone else,

you have to tell me.

I'll leave you alone,

but you have to tell me.

I was like

a homeless guy that day.

I had lost my land,

but instead, I stumbled upon another bird.

Maybe there's no need to talk about it.

I never thought our love would
end like this,

and that it would hurt so much.

I still remember our promises to
each other,

arousing my passion time after time.

Don't break my heart.

Be tender again.

I don't want to feel your persistent
silence.

I'm waiting alone.

I'm shouldering everything.

Joy always comes to me in dreams.

Oh, baby.

Xun, your turn to sing!

Come on. Let's hear that song.

Is it "Fleet of Time"?

This song was written for her right?

Has she ever heard it?

No.

Come on.

Do you regret it?

What's there to regret?

We had good, bad times.

In the end we were apart.

That was the end,

and there's no changing it.

- Everybody is sorry for something.
- I'm asking if you regret it.

Everyone!

Next,

please welcome to the stage
my good friend Chen Xun

- to sing us a song. Would you like that?
- Yes!

Applause.

Applause.

The next song is by my buddy Chen Xun.

How come he's with Shen Xiaotang?

Yeah. How did they two end up together?

Next, a song,

"Fleet of Time,"

performed by Chen Xun from Accounting

and Shen Xiaotang from Finances.

FANG HUI CALLING

Hui.

Xun, I want to ask you a question.

All you need to say is yes or no.

Do you have feelings for Shen Xiaotang?

I don't know.

Xun, the past few seconds

were the last we were together.

From now on, I am no longer
your girlfriend.

Let's break up.

I swear.

We will always be together.

Hui.

If the past is worth holding on to,

don't forgive each other so soon.

Who is willing to just let go of all
connections like this?

Let's owe each other.

Let's not sever all connections.

Seven, right?

Your work is not done yet.

Why are you leaving?

I have enough.

I see you've been asking about the past,

about Hui.

Yeah, as a story, for fun.

Who are you really?

Who sent you?

What do you really want to know?

I want to know
what kind of people you are.

And?

What kind of people are we?

You deserve all this!

Honey. Honey. Honey.

Well,

you keep the wallet.

Don't lose it.

There are

two foreigners. Come on.

Who's your honey?

Isn't that you?

Mo. Mo. Mua mua mua.

Is Chen Xun here?

I want to return his book.

Looking for Chen Xun?

Go look in that neighborhood

near campus.

I heard he's renting

a place there.

Or you can leave the book with me.

Zhao Ye.

Captain, long time.

Let me introduce my girlfriend,
Zheng Xue.

Nice to meet you.

- What is this?
- What do you like? Let me get it.

- This one looks nice.
- Take whatever you want.

Take anything for free.

No no. We can't take it.

Take it. Take it.

Bye.

Bye.

Um...

Honey.

Honey.

Honey.

That year, Ran came back,

just in time for the World Cup.

And it was China versus Brazil that night.

Interestingly,

I think we were just like
the Chinese team,

so very optimistic,

so certain we could cheat destiny,

till the final blow came,

definite and merciless.

Left with a hopeless mess and all we could
say was,

at least we tried.

Come on.

Come on. It's alright.

Sit down.

We're all here.

Let me just say up front that

it's my treat today. No one else pays.

You came a long way so don't even try.

Honey, pass me the wallet.

Honey.

Who are you calling "honey"?

What makes you think you can call me that?

What is our relationship? You're funny.

Are you my boyfriend?

Are we a couple, so you can
call me "honey"?

Haven't we been together

for a while now?

I was joking. Don't be so serious.

This joke is not funny.

Alright. Let's just drop it.

Excuse me, we'd like to order.

Come on. Let's order.

- What shall we drink?
- Whatever.

You like kidneys. Let's order a kidney.

- Get everything out in the open.
- Tsingtao or Yanjing?

If, before, I have misled you,

then I'm sorry.

Let's say that we are a couple,

but I want to break up with you today.

Excuse me, I want to order.

- Zhao Ye.
- Order. Come on.

From now on, we have nothing
to do with each other.

Come on. I want to order.

How many times do I need to say that?

Let's cut it out.

I'm not your boyfriend.

We're just good friends.

Good friends

don't need to break up.

We're all still friends, right?

What's this "break-up" business?

Who's breaking up with whom?

We broke up.

Xun and I broke up.

- You're ready to order?
- Open up all the beers.

What's this for?

You can't drink.

Open them up.

You open them up.

When did you become a couple with her?

When did you first

kiss her?

When did you first sleep with her?

That's about it. I'm going.

Chen Xun,
would you hear Hui out?

Sit down.

Can we not break up please?

If there's anything I did wrong,

tell me.

I'll make it right.

I didn't want to come here tonight.

I miss you so much.

I want to talk to you.

Didn't you say we would
be together forever?

If you don't want me anymore,

how can I spend my life with you?

Hui, listen to me.

You told me

never to say those two words, ever.

Well, we don't have forever anymore.

So today, I must say to you:

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

No.

No, no, no.

f*ck you.

How can you do this?

- Stop it.
- Why push me?

Stop it.

Stop it.

You're still defending him.

I came all the way back from England,

see him with another woman.

- What is this about?
- Enough.

Stop defending him!

Get out of my way.

What is this?

Leave them alone.

Not your business.

Stay out of the way.
They had a real relationship.

Go away.

Stay out of this.

You deserve it!

I deserve it! You deserve it too!

We all deserve it!

I came here today

so we can all have a good time.

Are you happy?

Are you happy?

Then, the party's over!

You did this?

Pay for it.

Just money, is it?

- Yes, just money.
- I have all the money.

It's all yours.

- Not enough.
- Is this enough?

Enough?

Do you have more?

If you don't pay,
I'll take you to the police.

If you can't pay,

nobody leaves.

Hui,

you can yell at me,

and you can b*at me,

but don't you dare say I never tried.

During the exams,

in order to be in
the same university as you,

I skipped a 13-point problem
in the physics exam.

What happened to us?

Let me tell you.

Honestly, the most exhausting

are virgins.

Who was it? If it's true, tell us.

Fang Hui, from Marketing. Same year as us.

You want any details?

If you do...

Stop it.

Stop it. Cut it out.

That's about enough.

Stop it. No need to be violent.

Hui!

Hui!

Hui!

Hui!

Did you have to do that do yourself?

Anyone else would be fine,

but not Kuang Qiang.

You can sleep with Shen Xiaotang,
but I can't?

People make love
when they love each other.

Does Kuang Qiang love you?

Do you love him?

Tell me,

do you really love him?

I love you,

but would you make love to me?

And then?

And then we became what we are now.

Jiamo.

Here. It's for you.

What is it?

My wife's bouquet. I caught it.

Why did you catch it?

It's your wedding.

I caught it for you.

This would be

the last thing I do for you.

That year,

we parted very abruptly.

I owe you a blessing

wish you all the best.

Thank you.

Zhao Ye.

Zhao Ye.

- What is it?
- I need to leave. Working late tonight.

Su Kai,

come over here.

You look nothing like a "Captain."

If you saw him like this,

it would've saved you

a lot of heartbreaks.

You're drunk.

Why go?

What is it?

What's going on?

Honey.

Whose honey?

My wife.

What is it?

President Zhang.

Su.

- Get him!
- Let's go.

I go too.

You are such savages.

Stay away from me.

b*at him up!

Help!

What's wrong?

I want to start over from here,

with a different scenario.

Why?

Because

I regret it.

Old man,

what are you thinking about?

Doctor Zhang,

a student just came in

nine weeks pregnant.

Pregnant?

Which department?

Call them over here to claim her.

Dean Xu,

a student in your department
called Fang Hui,

she's pregnant.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

It's her.

She's in your department, right?

Good for you. When did this happen?

Is it your boyfriend's?

Does he go to this school?

Talk.

What's his name?

Which department?

You have to tell us the truth

or how can we help you?

This won't just go away
if you keep quiet.

Tell us. Who is he?

If they find out, it'll be worse.

Whose is it?

Whose baby is this?

It's mine.

The baby is mine.

That day, we waited for a long time.

When I came back from buying cigarettes,

she already went inside.

That was the end of my five-year
first love,

and the start of my ten years as a smoker.

And Fang Hui

became a pain in my heart that I can
never quit.

Fang Hui.

Fang Hui.

- Here.
- Come in.

Do you want the anesthesia to be
inhaled or injected?

No anesthesia.

I'm warning you.

It hurts.

How wonderful

if it were yours.

We've had everything,

except a baby.

Hui.

That was the first time I learned what
love really meant,

but it was also the moment I lost it.

Hui and I

became lost to each other

in the fleeting of time.

When we are young,

we always start a relationship without
much thought,

but grieve deeply when it ends.

As we grow up

and learn to avoid

hurting each other childishly

but we are also losing

the courage that we once had.

Xun,

do you remember which tree we carved on?

Xun.

I don't remember.

I don't remember.

I visited France two years ago,

and went to see her.

She was still finishing her degree there.

How was she doing?

I was in the car.

I left without talking to her.

You saw her,

but you didn't tell me.

So sneaky.

If it were you,

would you have refrained from intruding
on her life?

What's she like now?

She hasn't changed.

This is the wedding video.

You have to watch till the end.

Do you have anything to say to Hui?

What is this? Special features?

No. Just say it.

What if she could see this?

Hui,

how are you?

Long time no see.

Hui,

long time no see.

Hui.

The wedding is about to start.

The bride can barely hold her excitement.

Friends and family came from
all over the world

to give their blessings to the couple

and witness the happy ending.

Their happiness is shared by everyone.

You're rough.

You're old.

Hi.

I'm standing on the Alexander III Bridge,

and beneath it runs the Seine.

This bridge connects the Grand Palace

and the Small Palace.

These are all famous buildings,

and over there is the Eiffel Tower.

If you climb to the top,

you can look down on the entire city
through telescopes,

see every street corner

and find the person you want to find.

This is Paris,

known to everyone as the City of Romance.

Sweetie.

Sweetie.

Sweetie, is there anything you want to say
to Chen Xun?

Hui!

I don't regret having such a
wonderful dream.

I only wish it would last longer.
