Say goodbye to this lady too.

Bye auntie.

I'll walk you out.

Bye now.

Go in first, it's cold outside.

Ah, don't worry bout it.

Goodbye.

Fan, are you ok?

Hurry up and change.

Today you're with me

so you have to listen to what I say.

Don't think about your problems.

Hey! hurry and change.

What for?

Eat, you have to eat.

Seven 5s.

- Start!

Drink.

Come on, everyone drinks up.

You have to drink too!

Don't give her any.

I can drink by myself.

Hey, what are you doing?

You're not coming up?

No you go on ahead.

Get some rest.

If you are hungry,

there's food in the fridge.

Sweet dreams.

Where are you going?

Take care.

Hello?

Xiao Lu?

Are you at home?

I'm telling you...

...I saw the girl today.

Xiao Lu-

Promise me one thing.

If I agree to let you...

Can we have our own baby?

I can become a stay at home mom.

Sometimes I feel really lonely.

Alright.

I agree to all of your terms.

And I promise this.

Here you are.

- Thanks.

Xiao Lu just called.

- Yes.

He said, Dong Fan...

...already agreed.

Lao Xie,

If you want to leave me,

I won't blame you.

These days, my heart aches...

...from thinking.

If I didn't abort our baby...

Why are you saying these things?

Have you ever wondered...

What happens

if you and I want another baby later?

I don't want to hear this.

At least, not right now.

I know there will be a lot of problems.

But I can't really control the situation.

Because I know what you are thinking.

I already have a child.

If I give birth to another,

then I won't be able to have

any more children.

This is not fair to you.

I'm very clear about that.

I don't know what to do right now.

But you can't let me watch Hehe suffer.

Don't talk about it.

I know.

I'm out of cigarettes,

I'm going downstairs to buy some more.

I'm leaving.

Why in such a hurry,

are you catching a plane?

No, I'm "shooting a plane".

(slang for "masturbation")

Stop fooling around.

Do you need my help today?

Thanks wife.

I can handle it.

I've been doing this since middle school.

Come on.

Then don't let her help either.

I'm begging you.

Have faith.

Come back quickly.

I'll come straight back when I'm done.

Thanks wife.

Go now.

I'm leaving.

Department of

Obstetrics and Birth Control

Walk straight down this corridor

and make a left at the end.

There'll be a small door,

just walk in there.

Ok.

There's a small container.

You shouldn't come with.

I'll wait for you here.

Don't wait here.

Go wait with the doctor.

It didn't work this time.

But this often happens the first time,

not to worry.

If you two want to try again,

that's fine.

You're laughing.

I finally understand

what they mean by "when the fertilizer

flows, outside farms flourish."

That doesn't have

anything to do with this.

Then what does that count for?

Maybe it's because recently...

work has been busy

and it's taking a toll.

I think you have...

...middle aged men syndrome.

Menopause?

It seems like it!

It came a little early.

You complaining about it being early.

With you, I'm becoming faster.

Say, how come these things

I have to share?

Did I owe you something

in a previous life?

No, I definitely owed you something.

All three times have failed.

This method doesn't seem to work.

What's the problem?

It's hard to tell.

Have you had an abortion before?

I didn't think I would want

children after my second marriage.

So I did it once.

Afterwards, I felt guilty,

so I tried to have children again.

But I miscarried all of them.

I'm just worried about

habitual abortion.

You are not young.

Is there any other method?

We've tried the best.

Doctor, how about we try one more time?

That's not possible,

it's against hospital policy.

We have already let

you slide on the rules.

So you're saying that

we have to do it for real.

Mei Zhu, you should

have some common sense.

Artificial fertilization

is the most effective.

This won't work, you can't

put this all on me.

No matter what you say,

I have already decided on this matter.

Even if there is only a 1% chance,

I must take it.

You don't think

that matters are complicated enough?

Alright, tell me

what to say to Dong Fan tonight then.

Don't tell her.

Just say we are still

going to the clinic.

If I get pregnant, fine,

if not, just forget about it.

When the time comes,

I can die with my daughter.

I won't contact you after this, Xiao Lu.

Rest assured.

Mei Zhu.

People cannot be too selfish.

Cannot be only thinking of themselves.

If we do this, think about

who we would hurt.

The girl, I'm doing this for the girl.

Xiao Lu, you don't have to force me.

I don't have any other option.

How is it that I'm forcing you?

When you left me,

I didn't say anything,

I didn't take anything.

I have never regretted it.

If not for Hehe,

I would never come beg you.

For the rest of my life,

I would never have asked you for a favor.

You must be very clear.

How can Lao Xie agree to this?

I have already told you.

I won't tell him.

This scandal will get us on TV.

I'm not scared to do anything.

When the day comes, I'll contact you.

Why?

Why can't I have my one child?

I'm sorry.

Now is not the time.

I lent her my husband to have a child

but I cannot have a child of my own.

It's not that.

I suddenly feel very tired, very down.

I know that.

Have you thought about me though?

Yes.

That's why I think that now's not the time.

- I know.

You don't have the

energy to do anything with me.

But you have all the energy for her.

How can you say that?

Now, everything is messed up.

You're only confusing matters.

You're confused. Not me.

I feel as if I've done my best.

I love you, and I pity the child,

you can make me do whatever you want.

But I deserve a life of my own.

I feel torn apart between you two.

Now you won't.

Yesterday afternoon,

she called to say it failed again.

Are you happy now?

What kind of person

do you think I am Xiao Lu?

I understand you.

It's because I know you too well,

that I'm willing to take all the blame.

What do you want me to do?

Tell me now, what do you want me to do?

You've already done all you can.

I wronged you.

Mei Zhu still doesn't want to give up.

She wants to try again.

But the clinic refuses

to let us try again.

There's more.

I don't want to hide this from you.

I already knew this.

This is not enough.

You two still want more.

I know all of this for you

is very unfair.

Shut up.

Get up.

These words may not sound right now.

But I've been thinking about it.

I shouldn't be in your life anymore.

Tomorrow I'm going to work.

You can file the divorce papers.

Send me the draft via email,

I'll come back to sign them.

Please don't say this right now.

We need to calm down and think about it.

I've already made up my mind.

Time is very important to this child.

I'm no longer in your way.

This is a nice apartment!

We four people will lie on one bed!

This bed is so soft!

Isn't the design of this apartment weird?
