Thank you! Mr. Zhousheng! Sorry! I'm late! Give me your ID card. Hi. We're on same flight. To Xi'an. Okay. Sir, your ID card. Here you go. Let me help you with that. Please go through the metal detector again. Did you take your cellphone out? I did. I don't have anything on me. Please take off your high heels. Okay. Turn around, please. Turn around, please. Please go through it again. Turn around, please. Thank you! Mr. Zhousheng Chen! You forgot your ID card! Thank you! Mr. Zhousheng, I'm so sorry. I was going to carry your stuff for you, but I almost left your ID card there. Sir! Sir! Wait a moment! May I borrow a few seconds of your time? It may sound a little abrupt, but is your name Zhousheng Chen? I heard they call you that at the security check. Yes. I'm Zhousheng Chen. Here's the thing. I've seen your name a lot recently during work. Zhousheng Chen. It's a character's name in a story. A movie, to be exact. I've been dubbing for the movie. So I just had to talk to you when I heard the name Zhousheng Chen. Sorry! I've made it even more confusing. You may not know this, but I... The story about the Junior Prince of Nanchen? Yes! You know that story? I do. Nice to meet you! My name is Shi Yi. Nice to meet you! I'll be boarding soon, and I don't have much time. May I have your WeChat contact or phone number? I hope we can be friends. Just friends! I'm sorry. I've just come back from abroad and I don't have a local number yet. I see. That's all right. If you don't mind contacting via email, we can exchange our E-mail addresses. Sure! I give you mine, or you give me yours? I'll give you mine. Pen and paper, please. Final call for flight CA 1866. Would Miss Shi Yi please go to the boarding gate as soon as possible. The flight will take off soon. Here. Thank you! I'll be going then. Goodbye! Goodbye! Final call for flight CA 1866. Would Miss Shi Yi please go to the boarding gate as soon as possible. The flight will take off soon. Miss, let me help you. Thank you! Your mom asked me yesterday if you have a boyfriend. I felt too embarrassed to tell her that you've wasted half a year dating a chemistry professor who's in Germany online! We're not dating online. Oh, sure it's not! Then why does it take you so long to reply to his emails? Why is that? The format and contents of his emails are always so formal. You'll understand when you see them. I have no choice but to reply carefully. A friend of mine wants to read them. A friend of mine thinks they are too boring to share with others. How old is he exactly? I've never asked. How old did he look? Late 20s? That's a dangerous age. It's hard to say whether he's married or not. In that case, everybody who's over 18 is dangerous. But the two of you are in different countries. How are you supposed to develop your relationship? I say, you should give up. Am I wrong? Don't tell me you'll want to be in a platonic love for the rest of your life! Actually, he's in Xi'an right now. He came back? For you? I told you he's on a business trip. I'm not finished yet! What else? I'll go on a business trip to Xi'an this weekend! And that relates to me how? Of course it does! Don't you think it's too coincidental? Isn't it destiny? Would you like to go with me? Let me break it down for you. You only need to buy a flight ticket. You don't need to pay for the hotel, since you'll be staying with me. Take it as a trip with me! At the same time, you can go see that "online friend" you've been communicating with via email! I may not have time. I need to check my work schedule. I'm leaving next Monday morning. You still have time to book a ticket. I happen to be going on a business trip to Xi'an next week. If you like, we can meet. Shi Yi. I came unannounced. Surprised？ I invited you to come back. Why would I be surprised? They invited you to a seminar but placed you in such a small place? Is this place small? I requested this room. It's only five-minute walk to the lab. It's a big timesaver. I know you don't care about these things, but as an associate professor, you should have some standards. The wealth we own is intangible. Don't lecture me about how the wealth of knowledge is above all. Every equipment in the lab costs at least 10 million Yuan. The reagent we've been using lately is hundreds of times the price of gold. Since you are that rich, you should prepare a big red envelope for the groom then. Here. What's this? Are you getting married? Your brother is. Surprised? Nope. Nothing is impossible. What about you? What do you mean? When will you meet with the fiancee your mom arranged for you? I don't have time. Do you lack time or do you lack courage? I really don't have the time. Let's talk when we get back. Suit yourself. It's such a strange year. Three years' worth of rain all came this year. It doesn't rain much in Shanghai, though. The rain all goes from the south to the north. Are you from Shanghai? Yes. Have you come to Xi'an for a business trip? They are on a business trip. I just took this chance to visit home. That's the ancient city wall over there. You know, there are many famous attractions in Xi'an. You girls can go for a tour after the interview. Young man, you should be a good host and bring them around! Yes! You are right! Has the chemistry professor replied to your email? What a pity! I'm not here to meet him anyway. I came to work. I've made an itinerary. I'll visit the Azure Dragon Temple, the Terracotta Warriors, and the museums. If I have more time, I'll go visit the Epang Palace. Okay. You have me convinced. It looks like the two of you are not very well off. So what made you decide to contribute to your hometown education? It's because... we are... we are poor since childhood and had a hard life growing up, we want to make a change to our hometown, right? I...I'm not good at explaining things. Dear, why don't you explain it to them? They are interviewing you. Why are you asking me to talk? Please don't be nervous. We are just having a chat. Since you two have donated all your savings, have you ever argued with each other because of this? Never. I've always supported whatever he does. And... I always listen to him. What are you talking about? You are the boss. Try some of the chili oil. It's tasty. Here's your Paomo. Please enjoy! Thanks! What did you think about the interview just now? Most people are shallow, for they only see the beautiful facial features, but not good bone structure. The wife is very special. She's able to see through the superficial and appreciate the good qualities of her husband. Most people are shallow, for they only see the beautiful facial features, but not good bone structure. Well said! What a coincidence! May I sit here? Sure! Is he your friend? He's Zhousheng Chen. This is my friend Hong Xiaoyu. And this is her coworker, Shuai. Nice to meet you! Nice to meet you, too! Are you here in Xi'an for a trip? Yes. Xiaoyu came here for an interview and we wanted to take this opportunity to take a tour. In one of the emails I sent you I've mentioned her. I'm sorry! I haven't checked my mailbox for a while, so I didn't see your email. It's okay. This is my business card. Liu Shuai. Yes. My name is Liu Shuai. Pardon me, I don't usually carry my business card with me. My name is Zhousheng Chen. I'm an associate professor at Berkeley College of Chemistry. I've been staying at the Research Institute of Xi'an for an exchange program. Good! Good! Shengchen! It's a nice name. You can just call me Shuai. I'm Xiaoyu's coworker. My family name is Zhousheng and my given name is Chen. Mr. Zhou...Zhousheng! It's a family name, huh? Shi Yi, what was it you said just now? It sounded quite nice. Do you understand it? Of course I do! Why can't I? But I'm telling you, a sentence like that, you have to use your heart to understand it, you know? Cut it out! Go read the book "Stories to Awaken the World", where there's a similar saying. Listen, the sentence means people nowadays only pay attention to materialistic things. Such as money, car, house, and appearance. Seldom do they care about a person's inner beauty. I got it! Got it! Shi Yi forced me to read when we were little. She's always been a bookworm. She reads all kinds of books. Mr. Zhousheng! I must buy you a cell phone when I get my salary next month. I'll even pay the phone bills for you. I went everywhere looking for you! If it wasn't for the car of our institute parking outside, I wouldn't have found you! Shi Yi! Hi! Were you two going to meet with each other here? No. We bumped into each other! What's up? We have a seminar later. Did you forget? Of course not. I just came out for lunch. I'll be going then. I'll contact you later. Bye. Mr. Zhousheng. I heard that the cherry blossoms are blooming in the Azure Dragon Temple. We are all not local people and may not get the chance again. Would you like to go there with us? It's been raining these past two days. If the rain stops and you guys are still here, then maybe we could set a date to go. Is that okay? Sounds good! It's a deal then. Shi Yi will contact you by email. See you! See you! Yes! Look at you! You make a living with your voice, but you act like a mute at the most critical moment! Through today's simple meal, I found two good qualities about him. He's manly and straightforward. Actually that doesn't sound right either. Ever since we were little, I could always use you as an excuse to ask someone out successfully. In this way, he isn't that special after all. A pretty face can only be maintained from 16 to 36. I like looking at pretty things. It's even better when it comes in a pair. Plus the good genes would be passed down to the next generation. You are way above his league. I think he's not bad. He's only got a special name. Your name is good, too. "A reputation that's well-known." That's too obvious. Boring! Then let me come up with a more romantic explanation. Go ahead. Let me think. It's a little far-fetched, but I'm sure you'll like it. "I'd take the Yuhong Herb and live in my dreamland forever." Have you heard of that? No. What's that about? Legend has it that in the Kunlun Mountains exists a plant named Yuhong Herb. If one accidentally takes it, they would fall asleep for 300 years. Hong Xiaoyu. Hong Yu, Yuhong. Don't you think your name could actually mean the Yuhong Herb? I like this explanation! That's what I'll tell people in the future! The rain seems to be getting heavier. Our Shi Yi is 26 years old. Though she's stunning, she's never been in love. May Buddha bless her! If she and the chemistry professor are meant to be together, then please stop the rain! Buddha said yes! I dreamt of Chang'an a lot when I was little. I loved reading stories about this place. That's why I've always wanted to visit here. You told me that before. Go to sleep. I don't think the rain will stop. Hello? Hello. You are getting famous now! Producers are lining up to have you dub their shows. A producer contacted me and wanted you to be a supporting actress in his movie. He said your look and temperament are perfect for the role. I told him to drop that thought and that you've turned down quite a few auditions. You only want to be a good dubber, not an actress. You won't even go on TV programs. Xiaoyu is still asleep. It's not convenient to talk. I'll call you back later. No need. I've sent your schedule to your mailbox. Send me a message if you have any questions. Okay. When I walked out of the lab at 4:36 am, the rain has stopped. If it isn't raining at 11:30, then let's meet at the Azure Dragon Temple at 12:00. Xiaoyu! Get up! Come on! The rain has stopped! What? It stopped raining! Shi Yi, let me pick an outfit for you! I already have something in mind! You'll look good in that dress! Yeah, make close up shots. Focus on my face. Look at me! Shi Yi! You are so smitten that you are blushing! Don't tell me you're sunburnt. You are here early, Mr. Zhousheng! But of course, we are even earlier. Shi Yi insisted on coming here 20 minutes early so that we wouldn't be late. I was worried about the traffic. Sure. Usually I'd be 15 minutes early when I'm meeting up with my friends. I spent five minutes just now looking for the ticket office, but I was told that it's actually free of charge. Let's go then. Okay. Let's walk the other way. Has anyone visited the Azure Dragon Temple before? No. Okay. Now that you are here, you first need to know about its history. In 1996, the State Council declared the Azure Dragon Temple to be a critical national relic. In 1986, the temple brought in over 1,000 cherry blossom trees and planted them here. There are altogether 12 rare species of cherry blossom here. Speaking of enjoying cherry blossoms, one must come to the Azure Dragon Temple. Why you may ask. Because the temple has all the cherry blossom varieties, the oldest cherry blossom planting history, the most precious cherry blossom culture, and the most beautiful cherry blossom scenery that's worth appreciating. All right. Would everyone please follow me? Let's go inside and take a look. Please keep up! Would everyone please follow me? Let's go inside and take a look. Is the recording bad? There's too much noise. Let's go over there. You seem to like Xi'an a lot. When I first came here, a friend of mine at the institute gave me a guide book to Xi'an. If you like it, I could give it to you. This city is full of stories. True. It was the capital of several dynasties. Do you like reading? Yes. I set aside a certain amount of time every day for reading. What kind of books do you like? As long as it's interesting, I'd read it. Have you visited old-fashioned libraries, where numerous books are put on the wooden shelves? Old-fashioned libraries? Yes. There are some in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. My parents took me there when I was little. The place I often go to also has wooden shelves, but they are all occupied by bottles and containers and all kinds of dangerous instruments. Most of the things are off limits. It sounds interesting. You think so? Any incorrect operation could lead to burns or even explosions. It's a high-risk profession! If it's really like what you said, who would want to work in a lab? Well, it's not that scary. But your operations must be correct. When I first started uni, there was one night where I suddenly remembered that I left something in the lab. I thought I could go fetch it at six the next morning. But at the next morning, the empty lab somehow had an explosion. Half of the lab was blown up. Luckily, I got up five or six minutes late that morning. Otherwise, I don't know what would have happened to me. And then what happened? And then... Things didn't turn out too bad. The dozen of samples I made were still there. And I moved them to the lab next door that afternoon and continued the tolerance test. Thank you! What's the matter? My legs look short. Make them look longer! Even longer? Yea! Come on! Fine! Hurry up! One more! Like this... Hong Xiaoyu suggested we come to the Azure Dragon Temple because of me. I've heard of this place before. There's also an Azure Dragon Temple in that movie. But the two temples are different. This temple was built in the Sui Dynasty, later than the one in the movie. I don't mean to disturb you guys. But this place is too small. We should've gone to see the terracotta warriors. At least the place is bigger there. Where shall we go next? I have a student, whose family opened a tea house in the neighborhood. If you guys don't mind, he'd like to invite you guys for some sea. He's the guy you met yesterday, by the way. Do you have time? Yes. I do. She's free all day! The tea house is nearby. I'll bring you guys there. I've been observing you two from behind! You are reserved, and he's polite. You guys look like you are on a blind date! Keep your voice down! You are really... Is something wrong? Would you guys like to take a picture? No. It's okay. All right! Take one! With him! Let's go! Gosh! Miss Shi Yi, are you here for work? Xiaoyu is. I'm here to keep her company. I've never been to Xi'an, so I wanted to come and have a look around. Xi'an has many interesting places. It'd take a while for you to visit them all. Please take a seat, everybody. Thank you! Would you guys like to play some games? Aeroplane chess, checkers, or poker? I'm okay with anything. Aeroplane chess and checkers are a little boring. But you don't know how to play poker. It's okay. I'll watch you guys play. All right, then. Mr. Zhousheng, do you play poker? Yes. Then I'll go get the cards. Do you wanna check out your pictures? Let me see. Are you sure? I may as well show you after photographing. Let me see that one first. I haven't photoshopped it yet. Come on. Here we go! The last one. This one. Look good? This...This one is nice! Have you visited the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda and the Ancient City Wall? We are going to visit the Ancient City Wall but we won't go to the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda. Why is that? The Giant Wild Goose Pagoda is very beautiful. You should go check it out. Our hotel is right across the street from the pagoda. Then the place you guys are staying is very nice! That hotel is nice for sure. It was still under construction when I graduated from the college there. Mr. Zhousheng, do you have any hobbies? I have quite a few. I like watching TV dramas. What's your favorite TV drama? "A Step into the Past". "A Step into the Past"? Even a chemistry professor likes time-travel dramas! It's even "A Step into the Past"! Do you remember my ex during college? He also loved that show. He watched it four times. I watched it over 70 times. To be specific, it'd be 79 times. 79 times? Wouldn't you get bored? I think it's quite interesting. And now I can remember every scene and every line in that show. Good for you! Good for you! Come on, "Landlord." You go first. Do I go first? Yes. This one. You can put it here. Not bad. You've got a good hand, I think. If I go first, I think I've won. We'll take a bus to go back. We'll take a taxi. See you! See you! I think he is into you. But why did he leave without even asking for your phone number? Let's go. Let's wait for a while. It's hard to get a taxi here. Take a look at this. Are we here? The Azure Dragon Temple. I give up! How long will it take to walk back? How about we walk back? No way. It's too far. Are you going to the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda? We are going to the hotel across from the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda. Here's the thing. Someone called me to give you a ride. Who? He Shan. Do you know him? Yes. He's my friend. One of you has the last name Shi, and the other Hong. This gentleman is a photographer. Right? Yes. You are right. Please get in the car. -Thank you, sir! -Thank you! Here. Watch your head. Professor. Come in. A lady named Tong is here to see you. She's my friend. Let her in. Then I'll go help her fill out her particulars at the gate. Okay. I'm having a meeting in Xi'an, so I dropped by to bring you this. Congratulations! That's it? I hope you two have a happy life. I'm here to tell you that you are the only one whom I've ever wanted to marry. Even now I'm still torn. If you are hesitant or confused about your upcoming marriage, you should talk to Zhou Wenchuan, your fiance, not me. If you are here to bring me the invitation, it's well received. Thank you. Maybe I'm not hesitant. I'm just thinking about the past. My wedding is scheduled early next month. You will be there, right? I should be back at that time. I'll see you then. My colleague is still waiting for me downstairs. I'm leaving. Okay. Professor. What's the relationship between you and Miss Tong? There's nothing between her and I. That's good to know. Why are you so happy? Well, she came with a smile and left in tears. I thought she was your... And I was worried about Shi Yi... Why would you think of Shi Yi at this moment? Professor, stop playing dumb. Shi Yi likes you. It's very obvious. I think she fell in love with you when she first met you at the airport. You treat her differently too. Not only did you visit the Azure Dragon Temple with her, you even called a taxi for her. If you don't have feelings for her, then what's all this? Is that all you think about when you're here? I...I've been thinking about the experiments. I'll do the experiment. Close the door.
