[The First Frost]
See you, Dad.
If there is anything you don't know, just ask.
- Okay! - You bag.
Bye.
Bye.
It's Class 17.
- Okay! - Make sure you go to the right class.
Remember to drink water. Hot water.
Senior.
Can you please tell me where Class 17 Year 10 is?
Sorry, I just started school here.
Go downstairs, turn left, and enter the building.
And?
And?
And check the classroom number on the door yourself.
Or do you expect me, your senior,
to read them out one by one for you?
My junior.
Thank you, Senior.
Sorry.
Excuse me!
Sang Yan?
I'm Wen Yifan.
Oh, Wen Yifan.
Everyone on the list showed up except you and Sang Yan.
Sorry.
Sang Yan sounds like a girl's name,
so I thought you were Sang Yan.
Excuse me.
Sorry, sir.
I came late.
It's him?
Late on your first day?
Did you two come together?
No, we didn't.
I just couldn't find my way
and it took a while.
What about you? What's your excuse?
My dad didn't know I was in high school now
and sent me to junior high school.
Are you going in,
Miss Sang Yan?
I, the senior, would like you to go in first,
my junior from middle school.
Take those two seats at the back.
Go.
That was
the first time I saw him.
When the teacher got our names wrong,
I found myself momentarily lost,
forgetting that he was Sang Yan
and I was
Wen Yifan.
For a moment,
it was like there was suddenly
another me in this world.
[Episode 2]
[Your Name]
[Eight years later]
Dian.
Qiao,
all done with your work?
Yep.
Let's go.
We'll party more later!
You've been standing all night. Aren't you tired?
It's been ages since we had a gathering like this.
Surely we can't call it a night just yet.
Let's go!
But I still have to go back
and organize my materials tonight.
Then I'll wait for you to finish organizing your materials.
I heard there's a New Year's event at Overtime tonight.
I'm already worn out from working overtime,
and now I have to go to Overtime?
I'm definitely not going.
No way, you have to come with me.
Yes way.
Please come with me.
- All right now. - I'll wait for you.
Be good
and go by yourself.
- I can wait for you. - Come on.
Just go. Don't wait for me.
- Bye. - Stay safe.
Got it.
Why didn't you go hang out with your friend?
Come here.
Madam.
We're done with work for today,
and everyone did a great job.
I think
you really should take a break
and unwind.
Yifan,
I feel like you're bottling up a lot.
You should try
to open up a little,
let go of any negative emotions
or unhappy thoughts,
and welcome the new year
with a fresh mindset.
The new year
will be good, right?
Happy New Year!
The new year
will be good, right?
Whether it's good or not
is entirely up to you.
[My New Year's wish]
[My New Year's wish: A peaceful and uneventful year]
♪Once again, I hear the farewell from that day♪
♪Tears fall as the memory replays♪
♪Letting go of the past I once held tight♪
♪Wishing for♪
♪A better chapter ahead♪
Somebody just fell.
Are you okay?
Let me help you up.
Sorry.
You are
Su
- Haoan. - Yifan.
I'm not Wen Yifan,
I'm Zhong Siqiao.
How could you mix that up?
Oh, that's right.
I meant you're Wen Yifan's friend,
Zhong Siqiao from the class next door.
You are here.
Who's that?
He's my other business partner.
You probably remember him.
He was my classmate in high school.
Headliner?
Dian,
do you know who the Headliner of Gastropub Street is?
It's Sang Yan.
Did you not recognize him, or were you just not telling me?
[Sang Yan. Happy New Year! You don't have to be happy.]
♪From my heart to my whole being♪
♪From the sights before me to the vast world♪
♪For a fleeting moment, I fall in love with this world♪
♪But a world like this exists only tonight♪
♪For a fleeting moment, I make peace with myself♪
♪But this version of me exists only tonight♪
♪Only tonight♪
♪Only tonight♪
♪Until I find the courage to be kind to myself♪
♪Only tonight♪
♪I almost believe I can hold onto tomorrow♪
♪Only tonight♪
[Uptown Flower City]
Come in and feel free to look around.
This is one of the rooms.
Mine is the one at the far end.
I saw Su Tian mention in the group chat that you're looking for a place.
It's hard to find a place at the moment, isn't it?
It's indeed hard to find a place during the Chinese New Year period.
It's even harder to find a place
as close to the company
as mine.
You can thank me later.
Distance isn't a big concern for me.
What I'd like to know is the rent.
How can you not care about distance?
In our line of work,
we're always on the go, working crazy hours.
Time is money.
If you can sleep longer, why wake up earlier?
This room is yours if you want it.
The last tenant was a friend of mine
who had moved out for a while.
She dated a rich guy
and upgraded to a hillside villa.
Here's the bathroom.
Honestly, renting with strangers
these days is too risky.
There are too many weirdos out there.
That's why I'd rather leave it vacant
than rent it to someone I don't know.
That's why
I offered it to you first.
Take a look before you decide.
Moving isn't a small thing,
after all.
So, that vacant room of yours
I need to take this call.
Help yourself to some water.
Hey.
I just wanted to ask
if you got the New Year's photos.
I mean the ones from our hot spring trip.
Don't show them to anyone else.
Don't call me that.
I'm not your girlfriend.
I'm hanging up.
So, what do you think?
The smaller room is 3,000, and the whole place is 7,000.
We can split
the utility bills equally.
But if you're planning
on running the AC all day,
taking super long showers,
and cooking daily,
then we'll need a different arrangement.
I'll take it then.
Welcome to your new home
at Uptown Flower City.
Let me know
if you need anything.
Although the rent here is much higher than in Urban Haven,
as long as I can get a good night's sleep,
it's fine.
Lin,
you've already broken up with your ex.
Why are you still having a meal with him?
He kept begging me
to give him another chance.
I know we're done,
but having a meal together doesn't hurt.
He even booked a fancy restaurant,
so don't hesitate to dig in.
Lin.
Get in the car.
I wasn't late.
I actually arrived half an hour ago.
I just wanted to buy you a flower.
Wen Yifan?
You're Wen Yifan, aren't you?
I'm not mistaken this time, am I?
Are you Su Haoan?
Yes, it's me.
I ran into Zhong Siqiao at Overtime last night
and even mistook her for you.
Let's talk in the car.
Maybe it's better if I don't go.
Why?
It's fine.
Let's celebrate becoming roommates.
Careful.
OK.
Careful.
Sit tight.
There's someone else.
Wake up and see your romantic interest.
Wen Yifan is here.
So, you all know each other?
We were in the same class in high school.
Romantic interest?
What does that mean?
Are you saying Sang Yan had feelings for Fan
but she never reciprocated?
Yes.
Really? How come I don't remember?
Maybe you misremembered.
There's no way I misremembered.
Back in high school, weren't you two?
Is this awkward for you guys?
It's been so many years.
I was just bringing it up as a fun memory.
How long has it been since you last saw each other?
Wen Yifan, I recall
you transferred schools in either your first or second year of high school.
The second semester of sophomore year.
So,
it's been seven or eight years now.
Sang Yan,
why aren't you saying anything?
Don't tell me you're still
holding a grudge over this.
He probably thinks
Wen Yifan had poor taste back then
and didn't fancy him.
Who knew he'd turn out just like this?
Stop it.
Just focus on driving.
It's so late.
Why are you taking so long?
Do I have to come pick you up myself?
We were stuck in traffic.
Finally, you're here.
Who's that girl?
Sang Yan, that's not cool.
You got a girlfriend and didn't even tell us.
Quit joking around.
She
is our former classmate,
the legendary beauty from our high school days.
No way Sang Yan could ever be in her league.
Wen Yifan,
meet
Qian Fei and Chen Junwen.
They
were Sang Yan's dormmates.
Hello.
As for me,
I'm their closest friend.
The four of us run Overtime, our gastropub, together.
Hi.
Don't try to cozy up to her.
Let's eat first. I'm starving.
Let's eat. Come on.
Thank you.
Come on.
Let's have some cold dishes first.
We can treat today like a New Year's celebration.
- Okay. - None of you
were available on New Year's,
so I had to run Overtime all by myself.
I was working overtime.
It's part of my job.
Just ask Fan if you don't believe me.
I just wanted to ask
if you got the New Year's photos.
I mean the ones from our hot spring trip.
It's okay,
as long as you're here.
This is for you.
Thanks.
Since everyone's gathered here today,
let's celebrate Sang Yan's birthday together.
January 2nd.
A Capricorn?
I'm getting emotional.
Did you get my permission
to celebrate my birthday?
Dude, this is a surprise.
Why aren't you showing some appreciation?
Dude,
you brought it up so early.
How can we still call this a surprise?
You know Su Haoan.
He can't keep secrets.
You are quite something.
I'm speechless.
Sorry.
My bad.
Come on.
Happy Birthday.
Fan,
you rejected
Sang Yan before?
I just don't get it.
He's got everything,
the looks, the height, the money.
But
seeing how cold he is today,
it's possible he doesn't have any feelings for you anymore.
It's all in the past now.
You
need to learn how to seize opportunities.
Sometimes,
finding a good partner
can be more effective than a promotion.
By the way, what lipstick shade are you wearing?
It's really nice.
I didn't wear any today.
Normally I use
We are both women.
Can't you just be honest?
I really didn't wear any.
It's been a while.
It's been a while?
It's only been two days since the New Year's event.
No need to act
like you've been missing me as if it's been ages.
You were the one acting like you didn't know me.
I thought you didn't recognize me
since I was wearing a mask that day,
covering my face completely.
I didn't expect your eyes to be that sharp.
My eyes are sharp?
Sorry,
you got it wrong.
I didn't see you at all.
It was my sister who saw you
and mentioned
that you were staring at me.
That's true.
Because I noticed
your zipper was down.
A lot of people around me
were talking about it at the time.
But don't worry too much
since it has been
a few hours already.
I'm off now.
They were talking about a limited edition or something.
Come on.
Here, let's have a toast together.
Here.
Any updates on the singer?
A couple of friends
recommended a few to me the other day.
Sorry, I need to head back now.
My supervisor just told me
that I have a task to finish.
You hardly ate anything.
Are you full?
Is it because of Ms. Qian?
I'll talk to her.
No need. I just passed my probation period,
if you know what I mean.
You've worked hard.
Stay safe on your way back.
Okay.
Bye.
What's wrong?
Let's have a toast together.
Do you still remember which floor Su Haoan's car
was parked on?
I think it's on the second basement floor.
You don't remember?
Which section and what number?
It should be section A,
at the turn.
All right, lead the way.
Here it is.
Hey,
could you give me a ride?
It's really hard to get a cab during rush hour.
Where do you live?
Urban Haven.
It's a detour for me.
I won't trouble you then.
[56 people ahead, estimated waiting time is 60 minutes]
I never said I wouldn't give you a ride just because it's a detour.
It's probably going to take over 50 minutes for you to get a cab now.
[55 people ahead, estimated waiting time is 58 minutes]
How come he knows?
Let's go.
[54 people ahead, estimated waiting time is 57 minutes]
Thank you.
Um, you
can just drop me off at the nearest subway station.
Thanks for helping me out.
Such good manners.
How about some music?

Thank you.
Does this mean
I'll have to remember
your birthday from now on?
Don't worry about it.
I don't really celebrate my birthday.

Who is it?
Oh, the pretty lady.
You are back.
Give me back my cat.
We've finally met in person.
So you're the one who had our friends stuck
at the police station for days, huh?
You don't know how to maintain harmony with the neighbors, do you?
Give me back my cat.
Here.
Here's your cat.
I think she really doesn't get it.
Should we teach her a lesson?
- Go away! - Don't be afraid.
Let go of me!
Go away!

Go after her!
Stop right there!
Stop!
Stop right there!
Stop!
Are you all right?
Stop!

Keep running.
You were pretty fast, weren't you?
Keep running then.
Darn it!
Who did this?
Give me your hand.
Your hand.
Don't you dare to run away!
Get in the car.
What about you?
Watch out!
Watch out, Sang Yan.
Open the door!
Open the door!
Watch out, Sang Yan.
Stop!
Is this the police?
I need to file a report.
Open the window.
Careful.
All you all right?
Drive.
Should we head to the hospital?
Do you have any other injuries?
- Let's go to the hospital. - Wen Yifan.
Did you not see me standing there?
What's the matter?
Why didn't you ask me for help?
Why did you run?
Where did you go?
Why is it taking you so long to grab something?
I'm still waiting for you to come back and cut the cake.
- Stop nagging. - Stop!
I'll be right back.
Stop!
Wen Yifan.
Come here.
Stop!
I was so loud when I told you to come over. Couldn't you hear me?
You could neither hear me nor see me.
You were too busy racing against others, huh?
Actually, I wanted to ask you for help,
but I wasn't sure
if they'd actually get physical.
I didn't want to drag you into it,
Besides,
there are three of them.
I
was worried you might not be able to handle them.
Is it okay if I pull over up ahead?
[Heping Pharmacy]
Wait for me.
Welcome to our store.
What are you doing?
Apply some ointment.
No, thanks.
If you don't apply the ointment,
I'm worried you might get tetanus,
and it could be fatal.
I don't want
to be responsible for that.
Do you need a hand?
Does it hurt?
No.
Let me apply some on your face as well.
You are just applying some ointment.
Is it necessary to get so close?
Sorry.
It's too dark, and I'm worried that I can't see clearly.
All right.

Go in and pack your things.
You're not actually planning to come back to this dump, are you?
Feel free to sit down.
I'll go pack my things.
No, thanks.
I bet you were terrified just now.
Let me ask you this.
After all that has happened,
why haven't you been more careful?
I thought that person was still at the police station,
so I assumed it was safe for the time being.
Are these all you've got?
I'm on my own.
I don't have a lot of stuff.
These are everything I own.
We are almost there.
Which building does your friend live in?
I can't quite remember.
I came during the day the last time.
Do you really have a friend living here?
I really appreciate your help today.
Let me know when you're free,
and I'll treat you to a meal.
Don't worry about the meal.
Even if I didn't know you,
I would've done the same thing today.
After all the heroic acts,
will your face still be presentable
by the end of the year?
Even if
you're temporarily scarred,
it doesn't take away your charm.
Thanks.
You can just put them here.
I could have handled it on my own.
[Uptown Flower City]
Thank you.
You can just leave them here.
My roommate is a girl.
I can go up myself.
I'm leaving now.

My wife was gone,
and on top of that, I ended up in the police station.
Yeah.
We intended
to bring her to apologize to you a few days ago,
but unfortunately, she ran away.
Honestly,
I should have installed a camera
and filmed it all from the beginning.
She doesn't want me to see it, huh?

[The First Frost]
See you, Dad.
If there is anything you don't know, just ask.
- Okay! - You bag.
Bye.
Bye.
It's Class 17.
- Okay! - Make sure you go to the right class.
Remember to drink water. Hot water.
Senior.
Can you please tell me where Class 17 Year 10 is?
Sorry, I just started school here.
Go downstairs, turn left, and enter the building.
And?
And?
And check the classroom number on the door yourself.
Or do you expect me, your senior,
to read them out one by one for you?
My junior.
Thank you, Senior.
Sorry.
Excuse me!
Sang Yan?
I'm Wen Yifan.
Oh, Wen Yifan.
Everyone on the list showed up except you and Sang Yan.
Sorry.
Sang Yan sounds like a girl's name,
so I thought you were Sang Yan.
Excuse me.
Sorry, sir.
I came late.
It's him?
Late on your first day?
Did you two come together?
No, we didn't.
I just couldn't find my way
and it took a while.
What about you? What's your excuse?
My dad didn't know I was in high school now
and sent me to junior high school.
Are you going in,
Miss Sang Yan?
I, the senior, would like you to go in first,
my junior from middle school.
Take those two seats at the back.
Go.
That was
the first time I saw him.
When the teacher got our names wrong,
I found myself momentarily lost,
forgetting that he was Sang Yan
and I was
Wen Yifan.
For a moment,
it was like there was suddenly
another me in this world.

[Your Name]
[Eight years later]
Dian.
Qiao,
all done with your work?
Yep.
Let's go.
We'll party more later!
You've been standing all night. Aren't you tired?
It's been ages since we had a gathering like this.
Surely we can't call it a night just yet.
Let's go!
But I still have to go back
and organize my materials tonight.
Then I'll wait for you to finish organizing your materials.
I heard there's a New Year's event at Overtime tonight.
I'm already worn out from working overtime,
and now I have to go to Overtime?
I'm definitely not going.
No way, you have to come with me.
Yes way.
Please come with me.
- All right now. - I'll wait for you.
Be good
and go by yourself.
- I can wait for you. - Come on.
Just go. Don't wait for me.
- Bye. - Stay safe.
Got it.
Why didn't you go hang out with your friend?
Come here.
Madam.
We're done with work for today,
and everyone did a great job.
I think
you really should take a break
and unwind.
Yifan,
I feel like you're bottling up a lot.
You should try
to open up a little,
let go of any negative emotions
or unhappy thoughts,
and welcome the new year
with a fresh mindset.
The new year
will be good, right?
Happy New Year!
The new year
will be good, right?
Whether it's good or not
is entirely up to you.

I'm not Wen Yifan,
I'm Zhong Siqiao.
How could you mix that up?
Oh, that's right.
I meant you're Wen Yifan's friend,
Zhong Siqiao from the class next door.
You are here.
Who's that?
He's my other business partner.
You probably remember him.
He was my classmate in high school.
Headliner?
Dian,
do you know who the Headliner of Gastropub Street is?
It's Sang Yan.
Did you not recognize him, or were you just not telling me?

[Uptown Flower City]
Come in and feel free to look around.
This is one of the rooms.
Mine is the one at the far end.
I saw Su Tian mention in the group chat that you're looking for a place.
It's hard to find a place at the moment, isn't it?
It's indeed hard to find a place during the Chinese New Year period.
It's even harder to find a place
as close to the company
as mine.
You can thank me later.
Distance isn't a big concern for me.
What I'd like to know is the rent.
How can you not care about distance?
In our line of work,
we're always on the go, working crazy hours.
Time is money.
If you can sleep longer, why wake up earlier?
This room is yours if you want it.
The last tenant was a friend of mine
who had moved out for a while.
She dated a rich guy
and upgraded to a hillside villa.
Here's the bathroom.
Honestly, renting with strangers
these days is too risky.
There are too many weirdos out there.
That's why I'd rather leave it vacant
than rent it to someone I don't know.
That's why
I offered it to you first.
Take a look before you decide.
Moving isn't a small thing,
after all.
So, that vacant room of yours
I need to take this call.
Help yourself to some water.
Hey.
I just wanted to ask
if you got the New Year's photos.
I mean the ones from our hot spring trip.
Don't show them to anyone else.
Don't call me that.
I'm not your girlfriend.
I'm hanging up.
So, what do you think?
The smaller room is 3,000, and the whole place is 7,000.
We can split
the utility bills equally.
But if you're planning
on running the AC all day,
taking super long showers,
and cooking daily,
then we'll need a different arrangement.
I'll take it then.
Welcome to your new home
at Uptown Flower City.
Let me know
if you need anything.
Although the rent here is much higher than in Urban Haven,
as long as I can get a good night's sleep,
it's fine.
Lin,
you've already broken up with your ex.
Why are you still having a meal with him?
He kept begging me
to give him another chance.
I know we're done,
but having a meal together doesn't hurt.
He even booked a fancy restaurant,
so don't hesitate to dig in.
Lin.
Get in the car.
I wasn't late.
I actually arrived half an hour ago.
I just wanted to buy you a flower.
Wen Yifan?
You're Wen Yifan, aren't you?
I'm not mistaken this time, am I?
Are you Su Haoan?
Yes, it's me.
I ran into Zhong Siqiao at Overtime last night
and even mistook her for you.
Let's talk in the car.
Maybe it's better if I don't go.
Why?
It's fine.
Let's celebrate becoming roommates.
Careful.
OK.
Careful.
Sit tight.
There's someone else.
Wake up and see your romantic interest.
Wen Yifan is here.
So, you all know each other?
We were in the same class in high school.
Romantic interest?
What does that mean?
Are you saying Sang Yan had feelings for Fan
but she never reciprocated?
Yes.
Really? How come I don't remember?
Maybe you misremembered.
There's no way I misremembered.
Back in high school, weren't you two?
Is this awkward for you guys?
It's been so many years.
I was just bringing it up as a fun memory.
How long has it been since you last saw each other?
Wen Yifan, I recall
you transferred schools in either your first or second year of high school.
The second semester of sophomore year.
So,
it's been seven or eight years now.
Sang Yan,
why aren't you saying anything?
Don't tell me you're still
holding a grudge over this.
He probably thinks
Wen Yifan had poor taste back then
and didn't fancy him.
Who knew he'd turn out just like this?
Stop it.
Just focus on driving.
It's so late.
Why are you taking so long?
Do I have to come pick you up myself?
We were stuck in traffic.
Finally, you're here.
Who's that girl?
Sang Yan, that's not cool.
You got a girlfriend and didn't even tell us.
Quit joking around.
She
is our former classmate,
the legendary beauty from our high school days.
No way Sang Yan could ever be in her league.
Wen Yifan,
meet
Qian Fei and Chen Junwen.
They
were Sang Yan's dormmates.
Hello.
As for me,
I'm their closest friend.
The four of us run Overtime, our gastropub, together.
Hi.
Don't try to cozy up to her.
Let's eat first. I'm starving.
Let's eat. Come on.
Thank you.
Come on.
Let's have some cold dishes first.
We can treat today like a New Year's celebration.
- Okay. - None of you
were available on New Year's,
so I had to run Overtime all by myself.
I was working overtime.
It's part of my job.
Just ask Fan if you don't believe me.
I just wanted to ask
if you got the New Year's photos.
I mean the ones from our hot spring trip.
It's okay,
as long as you're here.
This is for you.
Thanks.
Since everyone's gathered here today,
let's celebrate Sang Yan's birthday together.
January 2nd.
A Capricorn?
I'm getting emotional.
Did you get my permission
to celebrate my birthday?
Dude, this is a surprise.
Why aren't you showing some appreciation?
Dude,
you brought it up so early.
How can we still call this a surprise?
You know Su Haoan.
He can't keep secrets.
You are quite something.
I'm speechless.
Sorry.
My bad.
Come on.
Happy Birthday.
Fan,
you rejected
Sang Yan before?
I just don't get it.
He's got everything,
the looks, the height, the money.
But
seeing how cold he is today,
it's possible he doesn't have any feelings for you anymore.
It's all in the past now.
You
need to learn how to seize opportunities.
Sometimes,
finding a good partner
can be more effective than a promotion.
By the way, what lipstick shade are you wearing?
It's really nice.
I didn't wear any today.
Normally I use
We are both women.
Can't you just be honest?
I really didn't wear any.
It's been a while.
It's been a while?
It's only been two days since the New Year's event.
No need to act
like you've been missing me as if it's been ages.
You were the one acting like you didn't know me.
I thought you didn't recognize me
since I was wearing a mask that day,
covering my face completely.
I didn't expect your eyes to be that sharp.
My eyes are sharp?
Sorry,
you got it wrong.
I didn't see you at all.
It was my sister who saw you
and mentioned
that you were staring at me.
That's true.
Because I noticed
your zipper was down.
A lot of people around me
were talking about it at the time.
But don't worry too much
since it has been
a few hours already.
I'm off now.
They were talking about a limited edition or something.
Come on.
Here, let's have a toast together.
Here.
Any updates on the singer?
A couple of friends
recommended a few to me the other day.
Sorry, I need to head back now.
My supervisor just told me
that I have a task to finish.
You hardly ate anything.
Are you full?
Is it because of Ms. Qian?
I'll talk to her.
No need. I just passed my probation period,
if you know what I mean.
You've worked hard.
Stay safe on your way back.
Okay.
Bye.
What's wrong?
Let's have a toast together.
Do you still remember which floor Su Haoan's car
was parked on?
I think it's on the second basement floor.
You don't remember?
Which section and what number?
It should be section A,
at the turn.
All right, lead the way.
Here it is.
Hey,
could you give me a ride?
It's really hard to get a cab during rush hour.
Where do you live?
Urban Haven.
It's a detour for me.
I won't trouble you then.
[56 people ahead, estimated waiting time is 60 minutes]
I never said I wouldn't give you a ride just because it's a detour.
It's probably going to take over 50 minutes for you to get a cab now.
[55 people ahead, estimated waiting time is 58 minutes]
How come he knows?
Let's go.
[54 people ahead, estimated waiting time is 57 minutes]
Thank you.
Um, you
can just drop me off at the nearest subway station.
Thanks for helping me out.
Such good manners.
How about some music?

So you're the one who had our friends stuck
at the police station for days, huh?
You don't know how to maintain harmony with the neighbors, do you?
Give me back my cat.
Here.
Here's your cat.
I think she really doesn't get it.
Should we teach her a lesson?

Don't you dare to run away!

What about you?
Watch out!

Stop!
Is this the police?
I need to file a report.
Open the window.
Careful.
All you all right?
Drive.
Should we head to the hospital?
Do you have any other injuries?
- Let's go to the hospital. - Wen Yifan.
Did you not see me standing there?
What's the matter?
Why didn't you ask me for help?
Why did you run?
Where did you go?
Why is it taking you so long to grab something?
I'm still waiting for you to come back and cut the cake.
- Stop nagging. - Stop!
I'll be right back.
Stop!
Wen Yifan.
Come here.
Stop!
I was so loud when I told you to come over. Couldn't you hear me?
You could neither hear me nor see me.
You were too busy racing against others, huh?
Actually, I wanted to ask you for help,
but I wasn't sure
if they'd actually get physical.
I didn't want to drag you into it,
Besides,
there are three of them.
I
was worried you might not be able to handle them.
Is it okay if I pull over up ahead?
[Heping Pharmacy]
Wait for me.
Welcome to our store.
What are you doing?
Apply some ointment.
No, thanks.
If you don't apply the ointment,
I'm worried you might get tetanus,
and it could be fatal.
I don't want
to be responsible for that.
Do you need a hand?
Does it hurt?
No.
Let me apply some on your face as well.
You are just applying some ointment.
Is it necessary to get so close?
Sorry.
It's too dark, and I'm worried that I can't see clearly.
All right.

No, thanks.
I bet you were terrified just now.
Let me ask you this.
After all that has happened,
why haven't you been more careful?
I thought that person was still at the police station,
so I assumed it was safe for the time being.
Are these all you've got?
I'm on my own.

you're temporarily scarred,

You can just put them here.
I could have handled it on my own.
