that you cannot fall in

love for five years.

Let me go!

You can't get out of this car!

You are Peony right now, not Xiao Huang!

Peony,

be professional.

Uncle Hua, let's go!

Rose.

Rose.

Let's start again?

Fine.

Michael, some things...

I wish you would say it again

when you're wide awake.

You were talking in your sleep all night.

It kept me awake.

Really? What did I say?

You asked me a question.

What was your answer?

What's wrong?

Warning! System failure.

Initiate the backup system.

Unresponsive! Oxygen levels down.

Air pressure down!

Switch to manual operation.

Still unresponsive!

Oxygen levels still down.

We only have 4 minutes

and 33 seconds left!

Shut down the entire main system. Reboot.

What if it doesn't work?

That's dangerous! We can't risk it!

You have any other solution?

Evacuate from the main cabin

to the backup cabin.

We must initiate

the return procedures to Earth.

No! That would mean

abandoning the entire mission.

What good is the mission if we're dead?

Shut off the main system!

- Evacuate the cabin!

- Shut it off!

- Evacuate!

- This is an order!

It's the wrong order!

Backup system in operation.

Oxygen normal, air pressure normal.

Backup system fully activated.

How is it?

Not bad.

You're getting close to

professional restaurant standards.

That means I can cook for Peony.

Of course!

She has such picky tastes.

Call it a celebration for my promotion

to the position of a chef.

Cheers...

Uncle Hua,

why did you stay single all these years?

Back then... I missed my chance...

Have some more...

Okay, take it easy.

Love is like taking a train.

You think that there will be

another one soon after,

right?

So you hang around on the platform.

But you never expected that the last one

was actually the very last train.

Back then, their father

wanted to build his business

from scratch abroad.

I went to the airport to see him off

and was planning to break up with him.

But I never would think

that he would say those lines to me.

It was critical

and the right timing.

I didn't think much

and left together with him.

So I say, if you've met

the love of your life,

don't miss your chance. Understand?

You get it?

I didn't drink for a while;

I feel that I'm drunk.

May I get you some rice?

Actually, I've kept it

in my heart for quite a while.

Are you crazy?

Just now... didn't you say...

don't miss your chance?

Sorry...

Sorry...

Where are you taking me?

Let's just go for a ride.

In this car?

No... No you're kidding me!

Lily, I've done some research online...

You may be cured if you confront

your fear head on.

Get in this truck,

and that'll be your first step to recovery.

Johnny, did you ever think that

many problems could be resolved

if you quit your job?

It's... Chen & Son.

"Chen" is my dad, and "Son" is me.

There's no "s" at the end of "Son".

He's just had a heart operation.

My dad only has me.

Besides, since I was little

I've always wanted

to take the family business

beyond Chinatown.

Sorry. I'm too selfish.

There's medication available

for your illness.

I've tried it.

After I take it,

I want to jump whenever I stand

on a subway platform.

The doctor said depression

is a side effect,

so I had to stop taking the medicine.

No problem, I'll take a shower.

Wait for me, I'll be quick!

Johnny?

Don't come back!

- What?

- Don't come back!

Why? Wait.

Lily, wait! Do we really have to give up?

I don't want to be your burden.

I'd be glad to carry it.

But it'll just get heavier and heavier.

Not a problem!

How about this?

We'll walk 100 steps away

from each other, back to back.

If we turn around

and can still see each other,

then I'll do whatever you say.

It's a deal!

One, two, three, four, five, six...

Seven, eight, nine...

Eleven, twelve, thirteen...

Ninety-one, ninety-two,

ninety-three, ninety-four...

Ninety-five, ninety-six, ninety-seven,

ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred.

Lily!

Lily!

Lily! I know you can hear me.

You must believe me, Lily!

We'll definitely find a way.

I love you! Give love a chance!

I love you too but shut up!

Lily!

I love you!

Lily!

We're both Martians.

Too competitive.

Always wanting to win.

Even if we didn't go to

the wrong meeting place that time,

we'd still have broken up in the end.

Good night.

Feng, did you say that Xiao Huang

got a new job and will not come back?

Xiao Huang?

Huang! You're off work this late?

I came to ride home

on your watermelon cart.

Thanks.

No worries!

Let's go, Xiao Huang!

How have you been lately?

Sit here.

I recorded a song for you.

You recorded a song for me?

I recorded it at a karaoke.

Great! I wanna listen to it.

How do you like it?

It's great!

Let's go.

It's beautiful!

Here, it's for you.

But you have to listen to it

all the way to the end.

Is something troubling you,

or are there problems at work?

My new job is complicated.

You won't understand.

I have to pretend to be happy

even if I'm not.

Office work could be that complicated?

Yes, sometimes I have to lie

and have to say things

aren't true to how I feel...

Then quit! No one likes liars!

Sometimes you have to say

the opposite to what's on your mind.

Why do you have to do that?

Saying the opposite could be

our secret language.

Like "I don't want to see you"

means "I miss you".

"Go away" means "I need you".

"I hate you" means...

"I love you".

Others may not understand,

but some will get it.

Do you?

Kind of!

I will have my day off soon,

how about I take you out? Okay?

I hate you!

Hate me?

Hating me means you love me!

It's very late, so I'd better go.

I know where to take you.

We'll go to Lake Houhai and go rowing.

Wen Feng!

Wen Feng!

Wen Feng!

We won't see each other again!

Forget about me!

Wen Feng! I really hate you!

I really hate you!

You must believe me, Lily!

We'll definitely find a way.

Give love a chance!

I can do it!

I can... I can...

I can... I can...

I know you just broke up,

so I set up a date for you

with Dim Sum King's daughter.

You can't be serious!

God made a joke to have you meet

this OCD girl...

Dad, stop it...

Your mom and I met via matchmaking too.

- Look, that's her.

- Barbecued Pork Bun...

- Who?

- Go talk to her!

Barbecued Pork Bun...

- Uncle!

- Bunny, he's my son.

I know!

When we close up each night,

I sometimes peep through the windows

and watch him collect garbage.

Watch me?

Want a bun?

See! You will make a good couple!

Give me five!

Johnny! I...

Sorry...

Johnny! I know you're here!

I found you finally! I...

- Lily.

- Johnny.

I agree with you.

We'll go to the movies instead of bowling.

Let's go.

Lily! Lily! Wait! Lily... Please wait!

There's no need to explain,

we're not together anymore.

She's lovely. I wish you two the best.

No, please wait! Wait!

Were you looking for me for something?

Uncle Hua.

Good morning.

I made too many dumplings yesterday,

and I couldn't finish them.
