[The First Frost]

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

[Beiyu]

[Che Yanqin]

The rain in Beiyu keeps falling.

When will it stop?

[Che Yanqin]

Let's go watch a movie.

[Ticket Office]

Don't you

study today?

I don't want you to look back and remember

every time you came to Beiyu to see me,

all we did was read books.

We should take a break when we need to.

How about this one?

You like horror movies?

I just picked it randomly.

Is that okay?

Sure!

Hello, I want two tickets

for Waking Up to Ghosts.

Since then,

I've never gone back to school.

I didn't even step outside.

No one understands me

except for you.

And no one ever talks to me.

Why are you crying again?

Don't you think that you can forget a lot of things

when watching horror movies?

Can't other movies make you do that?

It seems horror movies are better for that.

Are you feeling down?

Are you scared?

No.

It's just about a kid.

Do you want popcorn?

Or water?

[Episode 9]
[False of Heart]

[3100 days]

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Let go!

Let go of me!

Call the police!

Let me go!

Let go of me!

What's your story?

I was the one who helped her.

I know.

I mean, what are you doing on the street

dressed like this?

The drama club of my university

is going to perform "The Zoo Story"

by Edward Albee.

I'll play a homeless man in it.

So I wanted to experience the real life

of a homeless man personally.

Experience it personally?

Are you living too comfortably?

Officer,

you don't understand.

Experiencing it personally is very important for an actor.

Hello!

Yifan,

where is the college student

who did a heroic act that you told me about?

You really are my lucky star.

Hi,

I'm a reporter from the First News team

of Urban Channel, Nanwu TV Station.

Can I have an interview with you?

Sure.

Thank you!

Shall we go outside?

Okay.

I'm going out.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

By the way, how about that street guy?

He is currently placed in a shelter in the city.

Meanwhile,

we are also trying to contact his family.

He has some mental health issues

because of too much pressure from life.

Shall we start now?

Could you briefly introduce yourself?

Sure.

My name is Mu Chengyun.

I am a senior college student.

I was experiencing the life of a homeless man

as an actor on the street today.

But unexpectedly,

a homeless man appeared,

standing there completely naked.

And there was that girl.

She was standing there too.

I was afraid something dangerous might happen.

You did a heroic act.

So what did you think

after doing it?

Is there something on my face?

No.

But you were staring at me.

I thought you looked a bit familiar.

The notebook and pen.

Thank you for liking me.

I haven't acted for a long time.

I didn't expect anyone to remember me.

Thank you for your autograph.

I'm leaving now.

Thanks for your hard work, Yifan.

It's nothing.

You've worked hard, Tian.

It's okay.

Tian,

Yifan,

I'll put the equipment in the car first.

Be careful.

By the way, Yifan,

do you still want someone to share a rental?

I heard you mention before

that your current roommate

would only rent it for three months.

How long until it expires?

I have a friend

who is looking for someone to share a rental house.

She's a really nice girl.

I think you two could rent a house together.

Does she need it urgently?

No.

She is currently living at her parents' house.

She can wait until your roommate moves out.

Just give her a definite answer.

I'll ask him when I'm home.

Okay.

I need to answer a call, Tian.

All right, I'll head out first then.

Okay.

Hello?

Where are you?

Around the neighborhood.

What's up?

Come to the supermarket outside the neighborhood

to buy some things.

Hurry.

I can't carry them all.

I'm at the gate of the supermarket now.

[Mu Chengyun]

Mu Chengyun...

Why is this name so familiar?

[Mu Chengyun, actor]

You like this type?

Didn't you say you were buying something?

Let's go.

You haven't bought them yet?

We are about to.

So it's not that you can't carry them now

but won't be able to carry them later.

That's right.

What's wrong?

Why are you using another cart?

I have things to buy too.

Don't worry.

I'll still help you carry your things

if you can't carry them later.

How's the home improvement of your house going?

Why?

I want to talk about it with you.

About what?

When are you moving out?

Do you want to kick me out?

Let's talk about it when the time comes.

I'm not rushing you.

My colleague introduced a girl to me.

She doesn't need it urgently though.

But we need to confirm the timing first.

Okay.

I'll check on the home improvement progress

and let you know then.

Excuse me.

Do you need a cart?

Yes.

I don't need it anymore. You can take it.

- Okay. - Thank you.

Thank you.

What are you doing?

I'm calculating the price.

Where's your cart?

What price?

The price of the toilet paper.

They're all four-ply.

Twenty-three yuan...

One hundred and twenty grams times twelve...

Twenty yuan...

One hundred and forty grams times fifteen...

Two yuan per roll.

Twenty-three divided by ten...

Twenty-three divided by...

One point nine yuan...

or so.

Then I'll take this.

Sure. It's cheaper.

But it only weighs one hundred and twenty grams.

Then take the one with ten rolls.

I'll calculate again.

Wen Yifan,

did you come to the supermarket for a college entrance exam?

The calculation could take you half a year

with your poor math skills.

It's getting late.

I'm afraid you'll turn in a blank paper.

I haven't finished the calculation yet.

I'll do the test for you this time, all right?

The one with ten rolls.

The one with ten rolls is a better deal.

The price has gone up?

It seems a bit expensive.

Hi, do you want cherries?

They just arrived today.

Very fresh.

You can have a taste.

Why not take some home for your wife?

Help me taste it.

Your wife is so beautiful.

Sorry, but we're not.

Mine...

Sang Yan's...

Shared...

All right.

Do you need to pay separately?

Together, thank you.

I've already separated them.

If together...

Give me three bags, please.

Okay.

It won't be easy for the calculation.

I've already separated everything.

Mine, yours, and ours.

We'll calculate it when we are back.

Let me help you carry some.

You hold the umbrella.

Where's the umbrella?

I may have left it in the shopping cart.

Wait for me.

Did you forget your umbrella?

Shall I walk you home?

We have an umbrella.

You can move aside.

Are you being jealous of me?

You?

No.

Hold this.

Shift the umbrella to you a bit.

It's blocking my view.

Shift it more.

Don't you know about your height?

Then why don't you hold the umbrella?

What are you talking about?

You won't do a little bit of work?

Who was that boy?

I don't know.

He just appeared behind me from nowhere

and asked to walk me home.

He looks a bit familiar to me.

There are a lot of bad people pretending to be friendly.

Don't be silly.

Get in the car.

Do you want to take a hot shower?

You'll catch a cold this way.

His clothes are already wet,

but he's still trying to act tough.

Cold medicine. It's hot. Be careful.

This bag of things is all yours.

These...

We'll use them together.

But it's hard to calculate.

It's on me.

[Mu Chengyun, actor, known for "Waking Up to Ghosts"]

What are you doing?

Recommend a horror movie to me

to help me sleep.

[Mu Chengyun, actor]

[known for "Waking Up to Ghosts"]
A rising star for horror movies...

Do you have to save power like this?

Isn't it better

to watch a horror movie like this?

Indeed.

It seems that people who are scared prefer to turn off the lights

to create an atmosphere.

They're just acting tough.

I usually turn off the lights when I watch horror movies.

Dad!

I miss you so much!

Do I look like your dad?

I've calculated the payment.

I'll transfer it to you now.

[Wen Yifan ¥668.00]

Why are you laughing?

Is it funny?

I laugh because of the movie.

This movie is probably

a low-budget film.

The thing covering the actors' faces looks like flour.

Didn't you notice

the flour on their faces fell off

in a fight scene?

I don't think the movie will scare anyone.

Haven't you seen this movie?

Have you?

We watched it together in Beiyu.

Do you not remember?

I do remember watching a movie with you.

But...

I just can't remember what we watched.

Then why are you watching it?

Hey,

why did you pause it?

Finally, here's the atmosphere,

but you are ruining it.

Now you want the atmosphere.

It's really him!

[Mu Chengyun, actor]

You can recognize him

even if he's painted up like this.

Where are you going?

I'm going back to my room. I'll stop bothering you.

It's just a horror movie.

Do you have to be like this?

Are you scared?

All right, Wen Yifan.

What do you mean?

Just sit down.

I know

you're scared too.

Why did he say "too"?

It was he who wanted to watch it.

I'm not scared.

So at that time,

Sang Yan fell asleep because he was scared of ghosts.

I'm afraid...

I might get scared later.

It's fine.

I'm here.

Why are you laughing?

You've laughed several times already.

It's not that funny, is it?

Good morning.

You are up early.

You didn't sleep well?

It was okay.

Where are you going

dressed so formally in the early morning?

I have a job interview.

You are looking for a job?

The jobs are looking for me.

Many companies want me so badly.

I picked one that I like

and will see it today.

How about Overtime?

It's my bywork.

Good luck.

Are you going out?

I have an appointment.

You scored first in the written exam.

Yes.

Do you play games?

Yes.

Can you tell me more about it?

Usually, I play

MMO games.

All kinds of them,

such as SLG, ACT and RPG.

But I play turn-based games most.

Then could you tell me

which algorithm is the best

when designing combat values for turn-based games?

Probably a subtraction formula.

Turn-based combat may look simple,

but

every move

is a battle of wits between players.

The subtraction formula is simple and easy to understand.

It reflects changes in values clearly

and demonstrates strategic value.

This is something the division formula lacks.

So, what expectations do you have for our company?

I have none.

What about the salary?

It's written on it.

I'll ask you directly.

Why did you apply

to work in our company?

You need to work hard

since your look isn't an advantage.

Don't just stay at home

like an unemployed man every day.

They asked you about your work today.

To find a job.

To find a job?

Okay.

The last question.

What do you think

is the most important thing

to design a game?

What would be the reason for you

to start playing games?

Probably loneliness.

Everyone will feel lonely.

They want companionship in games.

It's okay if you want to meet.

But why did you choose to meet around my place?

Well, I just think

you don't have to go too far to be here

after you finish work.

Then you can go home and rest

after we finish our discussion here.

You have got the wrong idea.

How can I finish work that early?

I almost work around the clock.

Besides,

I'm not your girlfriend.

You don't have to be so considerate.

Maybe

I felt this a nice place

when I sent you home last time.

We can hang out a bit.

So...

I really don't know

what a man like you has in mind.

What kind of man I am?

Anyway, we are a different kind of people.

What's the difference?

What should I say if my grandparents ask about you

since you don't take my orders anymore?

It's true I'm not taking your orders anymore.

But I can still help you as a friend.

Thank you for calling me a friend.

I almost forgot.

This is for you.

What's this?

Look at your hands.

They'll rot if you don't put on hand cream.

Take it.

Take it.

I have a new order.

I have to leave now.

Don't forget to apply hand cream.

Bye!

Mrs. Su?

What are you doing here?

Hi.

It was you who placed the order?

Just tell me directly

if there's anything you need help with.

No need to place an order.

But you're doing business.

You don't have to be polite to me.

But

all you added for the order

was "Support".

What should I do?

Where are we going?

Step back a little.

So, what kind of order is it today?

"Caught in the act" order.

Target:

Su Haoan's grandfather.

What does it mean?

There's no time to explain it to you.

Just do what I tell you later.

Let's go.

Madam,

May I ask who the leader is?

Fang!

Someone wants to see you.

Okay.

Fang.

What's up?

Well,

can we sign up to join you?

You?

Don't you see

we are all old people?

This is a government welfare arrangement.

What are you young girls doing here with us?

Fang!

- We've been waiting for you. - Okay, just a moment.

- Here I am. - Let's go.

Mr. Su!

Mr. Su!

Lin, what brings you here?

- Lin. - You two know each other?

My granddaughter-in-law.

Mr. Su,

we haven't married yet.

Can we go together then?

Let's just say we're dancing with you.

Oh, here.

My friend will join us too.

I...

Together.

What do you think?

It's okay.

That's great!

Thank you, Fang.

You must be a good dancer, Mr. Su.

He dances really well.

That's awesome.

I'm sorry, Mr. Su.

I'm sorry.

Does it hurt, Mr. Su?

Lin,

your sense of dance rhythm

needs some improvement.

How about this?

You practice over there first.

We'll dance together after your practice, okay?

I'm really sorry, Mr. Su.

It's okay.

Dian.

I...

Hello, Mr. Su.

I'm Qiao,

Lin's friend.

Please teach me.

You?

Okay.

Come on.

Very good.

You learned it so quickly.

Thank you, Fang.

Listen to me, everyone.

Let's take a break now.

Drink some water.

You've worked hard.

Fang,

why didn't your husband come to dance with you?

My husband?

He passed away a long time ago.

Young lady...

You are

Mr. Su's granddaughter-in-law?

Yes.

I heard

that his wife left with someone else.

That's not true.

Mr. Su,

who usually dances with you?

It depends.

This one today.

That one tomorrow.

I see.

Do you have a boyfriend?

Not yet.

Shall I ask my grandson

to introduce someone to you?

He has a friend

who's still single.

And he keeps bothering my grandson all day long.

The two of them

run a bar together.

No, thanks.

There's already someone I like.

Someone you like?

Then you should take the moves

and pursue your own happiness.

Otherwise,

you'll regret it

when you come to my age.

You have regrets too, Mr. Su?

Come on.

Thank you, Mr. Su.

Mr. Su.

I didn't expect you

to learn so fast.

Mr. Su,

you are such a good dancer.

I have to dance with you someday.

Look,

is she the lady in red?

Which one do you mean with so many in red?

Fang!

She's putting her hands on him!

It can't be that easy to guess.

Can there be more than one?

Today, I am inviting you

to have some tea.

Mr. Su,

can we join you?

Of course.

Come on!

Sang Yan!

Just call me if you need any help

with the company.

I'll get your back.

What?

Give me your hand.

You are hired.

We're colleagues from now on, bro.

Why not move closer to the company?

We can play games together after work.

Who wants to play with you? You are a bad player.

I think you're used to living with Wen Yifan

and don't want to leave her.

Let's have dinner together tonight

for a celebration.

I'll invite Zhong Siqiao to join us.

Qiao,

let's have dinner together tonight.

Invite Wen Yifan to join us too.

I'll send you the address.

Sang Yan!

You're not going?

Sang Yan!

Have some tea.

Thank you.

Make yourselves at home. Just eat.

It's so rich.

- It smells so good. - Eat that.

I really want to eat it.

Just make yourselves at home.

Feel free to eat.

Let me tell you,

the pineapple buns here are especially authentic.

They're exactly the same as the ones I had in Hong Kong.

Look,

the crust

is very flaky.

With this butter,

it can be called

the world's delicacy.

What Mr. Su recommends must be delicious.

Mr. Su,

eating too much butter isn't good for your health.

How about

I get you something else instead of this?

Young lady,

people our age

should eat whatever they want

and date whoever they like.

We want to live freely

like you young people.

That's what matters.

Don't you think so?

Exactly.

Mr. Su,

do you think I'm right?

This isn't good for your health.

I'll order something else for you.

Here, look at this delicious dish.

You have to eat this.

Come on.

It's full of nutrition.

- With a bite of the dish. - Here.

- With a sip of tea. - Here's the char siu bao.

This is good too.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Eat this, Mr. Su.

Come on.

This is for you.

- Thank you, Mr. Su. - Don't be too polite.

- Let's eat. - Come on.

[I'll be there soon.]
I got one for you too.

We're going to the bathroom.

And this...

Shrimp dumpling.

Yes!

Which one?

Over there.

Look at that one next to your grandfather.

She was serving dishes to your grandfather.

Well,

Grandma is more beautiful.

Grandpa may not really like her.

Love isn't just about looks.

I'm being honest.

Grandma is indeed more beautiful than her.

Men only care about looks.

[Yu Da Shi]

Thank you for today.

You got up early for my grandpa's issue.

You treat us to dinner

just for this?

In the beginning,

I wanted to celebrate for Sang Yan for getting a new job.

But he wouldn't come.

Sang Yan's new job is settled?

Don't worry.

I'll get his back

in the company.

He is really tough to deal with.

He looks tough.

Everything about him is tough.

What's wrong with him?

Talking bad about me

when I'm not around?

Bro!

Why are you here?

Surprising me?

Good.

Our hero is here.

Come on.

Let's have a drink.

Toast to Sang Yan for joining my company.

Congratulations.

But, Sang Yan,

why did you suddenly want a job?

After he graduated,

he went straight to a big company in Nanwu.

But who knows what got into him?

He suddenly quit.

Stop talking too much.

Drink it.

Okay.

Yifan,

thank you for today.

Thank you.

You are welcome.

I'm having an off day anyway.

Consider it spending time with Qiao.

What do you think

first love even means?

What's the meaning of being together for decades?

I really feel bad for my grandma.

Grandpa was her first love.

He's already at an old age

but is still messing around

with those dance teachers.

He's really troublesome.

I will definitely ask her

why she would ruin another woman's family

when I find her out!

That's not what I meant.

I want to ask you

to help me find out

if she's reliable.

Is she reliable?

If she is reliable

and they truly love each other,

I will support them.

Mrs. Su,

you are too good to her.

Do you think

if it's good love

when neither of them is happy

being together?

Forcing it won't bring happiness.

What if

he happens to meet the one

he feels is the most important in life?

What should we do?

Mrs. Su,

you'd better

have a good talk with Mr. Su first.

What should we talk about?

Lately, he forgets everything I tell him.

He doesn't even remember my birthday.

His mind is no longer on me.

Why should I hold on to him?

It seems that, for men,

first love is nothing to them.

Maybe only girls care more about their first love.

Not necessarily.

The place of first love

is irreplaceable.

You're talking as if you really understand.

Talk less.

Cheers!
