00:00He was taking a plane home for the new year for the first time, but as soon as he boarded,
00:04he found his seat occupied by a child. Just as he was about to get angry, a flight attendant
00:09approached. However, instead of asking the child to leave, she directly led Balthazar to first
00:14class. At that moment, Alice was being harassed by a man. Without hesitation, she pulled Balthazar
00:20to sit beside her, causing the man to back off. Throughout the flight, Alice remained buried in
00:25her work, while Balthazar played gleefully with the reclining seat trying to get her attention.
00:30But this career-driven woman could never have imagined that the boy in front of her
00:34would completely change her life. Just then, the plane suddenly encountered strong turbulence,
00:41causing the aircraft to shake violently. All the passengers fell into panic, even the flight
00:46attendants. As the turbulence grew worse, the cabin plunged into darkness. Instinctively, Alice grabbed
00:52Balthazar's hand. Balthazar didn't pull away, but he was visibly tense, so nervous that
00:57he couldn't utter a single word, his heartbeat racing to the point where he barely dared to
01:01breathe.
01:05This is a film that can make even those over 40 want to fall in love. In the end, the plane
01:10landed safely at its destination. As Alice packed her belongings and prepared to leave, Balthazar
01:15finally asked for her name. Watching the goddess walk away, Balthazar felt a deep sense of loss.
01:28She was so exceptional and strong, while he was just an ordinary office worker. At that
01:33moment, he accidentally noticed a USB drive that Alice had dropped on the ground. Without
01:37hesitation, he unfastened his seatbelt and ran after her. However, Alice had already gotten
01:43into her best friend's car and driven away. The next day, Alice walked confidently into
01:48the company. Her aura commanded respect, forcing everyone to greet her with admiring smiles.
01:53Yet behind her back, they sneered, calling her an unromantic old woman. Alice, however,
01:59didn't care about the gossip. She focused solely on her work, determined to become the next editor-in-chief
02:05of the magazine. But to her surprise, Vincent gave the position to Lisa instead. Alice was shocked
02:11and confused by Vincent's decision. She was clearly the most capable candidate for the role. Yet,
02:16Vincent's following words left her disheartened. He explained that while Lisa wasn't as skilled as
02:21Alice, she had a cheerful personality and had built good relationships with everyone in the company.
02:25Her active mindset would help drive the company's future development and innovation. Compared to Alice,
02:31who always appeared serious and dull, Lisa was full of energy and vitality. Hearing Vincent's assessment,
02:37Alice didn't argue. She simply accepted the reality in silence and chose to immerse herself in work.
02:43However, when she turned on her computer to check some files,
02:46she was horrified to find that her USB drive was missing. In a state of panic,
02:51she accidentally noticed a note on the computer screen. It said that a man had come to deliver
02:55something to her earlier, but she had been too busy at the time. Alice immediately dialed the number
03:01on the note. Balthazar, meanwhile, was partying with his friends at a bar. Excitedly, he told Alice
03:07the address. Without a moment's hesitation, Alice rushed to the bar. It was her first time stepping
03:12into such a noisy place, but she had only one thought in mind, retrieving her USB drive so she
03:17could continue working. However, the USB drive wasn't with Balthazar, so Alice had no choice but to go home
03:23with him to get it. As soon as she stepped out of the bar, she was stunned to see an old pink
03:27motorcycle in front of her. She never imagined she would ride such a strange mode of transportation
03:32with Balthazar, but seeing the seriousness in his eyes, she silently accepted it. Noticing how clumsy
03:38Alice was while putting on her helmet, Balthazar quickly stepped forward to help her. And this
03:43scene was coincidentally witnessed by two of Alice's colleagues, who secretly took photos of it. From the
03:49co-workers' perspective, it looked as though Balthazar and Alice were kissing. This was explosive news.
03:55Even though they had only met once before, Alice seemed to have an inexplicable trust in Balthazar.
04:01Without hesitation, she followed him home. After successfully retrieving her USB drive,
04:06Alice didn't linger for a second. She turned and left immediately. However, Balthazar clearly had
04:12something more to say.
04:29The goddess's rejection felt like a sharp thorn, piercing the sensitive and fragile heart of the young man.
04:35Yet he never could have imagined that soon. The goddess would begin pursuing him instead.
04:40Alice once again stepped into the company with her usual confident demeanor, but her colleagues were
04:45whispering among themselves, their gazes filled with an inexplicable peculiarity. This left Alice
04:50feeling utterly bewildered. Then her best friend handed her a photo. The contents shocked Alice. Without
04:58hesitation, she went straight to Vincent, trying to explain that she had never done anything that could
05:02negatively impact the company. But Vincent's response once again left Alice deep in thought.
05:18She stood there in a daze, unable to calm herself for a long time. Her ex-husband's betrayal
05:23had shattered her faith in love. After their divorce, she transformed into a 38-year-old single mother.
05:30Her life revolved solely around her daughter and her career, and she had never once considered her
05:34own romantic future. Seeking advice, she turned to her close friend, Simon. Simon urged her to start a
05:41new relationship as soon as possible. Not only would she find a companion, but she could also provide
05:46her daughter with a complete family. It might even accelerate her career advancement. That evening,
05:51Alice returned home, turned the speakers to maximum volume, and poured herself a glass of red wine she
05:57hadn't touched in ages. Listening to the captivating music, she opened the wardrobe that had remained
06:02untouched for so long. In that moment, an idea was already brewing in her heart. A reckless and daring
06:09decision. She shed her usual image as a strong career woman and slipped into a stunningly attractive
06:15outfit. She took the initiative to visit Balthazar's school. The moment she appeared, the teenage
06:20boys around her were instantly restless. Balthazar never imagined that Alice would come looking for
06:25him at school.
06:39Being so close to her once again made him feel nervous. At the same time, her beauty was now
06:45forever etched in his mind. They toured the school together, and before parting, Alice suddenly invited Balthazar
06:51to dinner. Without a moment's hesitation, he agreed. During their evening date, Balthazar noticed the
06:57restaurant entrance featured the latest projection technology. His curiosity was immediately piqued,
07:03and he became utterly fascinated by it. This time, Alice chose to indulge in his excitement and joined
07:09him in the fun. Meanwhile, her colleagues witnessed everything and were utterly astonished by Alice's
07:14transformation. Afterward, Alice and Balthazar headed to the rooftop, where a gentle breeze blew.
07:19Unexpectedly, Balthazar shared many new and creative ideas related to design. Alice couldn't help but
07:26smile charmingly, a glimmer of admiration flickering in her eyes. From that day on, their encounters became
07:32more frequent, and Alice gradually got used to his old motorcycle. One drizzly night, Alice suddenly
07:38received a call from her sister, Elizabeth. To give Alice some privacy, Balthazar consciously stepped aside.
07:45Yet, even then, he never forgot to shield her from the rain. What Balthazar didn't know was that on the
07:51other end of the call, Elizabeth was arranging a blind date for Alice. She told Alice that the man was
07:57not only successful, but more importantly, he didn't mind that she had a daughter. Elizabeth urged Alice to
08:02hurry home. Left with no choice, Alice lied to Balthazar, saying that her daughter was sick and she needed to
08:08rush home immediately. Hearing this, Balthazar ran straight into the middle of the road to hail a taxi
08:13for her. At that moment, his expression was no longer that of a naive young man, but of a responsible
08:19man. A satisfied smile appeared on Alice's face. When she arrived home, she quickly immersed herself
08:25in the blind date. The man was charming and wealthy, an ideal partner for marriage. However, Balthazar's
08:32presence lingered in her mind, leaving her distracted and absent-minded. This blind date was doomed to fail,
08:39but Alice didn't care. Her relationship with Balthazar continued to deepen. Together, they attended a
08:44fashion show, an event filled with industry elites. Alice repeatedly reminded Balthazar not to cause any
08:51trouble. But when he saw a model stumble on stage and no one stepped forward to help, his kind heart drove
08:56him to rush onto the stage without hesitation. The model, uninjured but embarrassed, quickly left.
09:02Balthazar stood awkwardly on stage. Fortunately, the industry elites didn't reprimand him. Instead,
09:08they were deeply impressed by him. After the show, Balthazar took Alice home. The dark night intensified
09:15the emotions between them. Maybe it was because they hadn't had enough fun, or maybe they simply didn't
09:20want to part ways yet. Either way, they decided to attend a dance party together. Although neither of
09:26them had been drinking, the atmosphere was intoxicating. As they danced closely together,
09:31they gradually got lost in the moment. Later, Balthazar escorted Alice home once again. Summoning
09:36his courage, he reached for her hand, but Alice instinctively pulled away. Various concerns held
09:41her back, making her uncertain. The twenty-year age gap between them was an undeniable reality.
09:47Forcing a smile, Balthazar whispered a goodnight. But as he watched her retreating figure,
09:52another wave of disappointment surged in his heart. He decided to try again. Gathering
09:57his courage, he pressed the doorbell. Upon learning that Alice's daughter wasn't home,
10:01he seized the moment and kissed her. Alice didn't resist. Maybe she had been waiting for this moment,
10:07too. And just like that, they finally confirmed their feelings for each other.
10:12The next morning, Alice urged Balthazar to leave quickly. Her sister and daughter were about to return
10:17home, and she didn't want them to see this scene. Hurriedly, Balthazar dressed and prepared to leave.
10:22But just as he reached the door, Alice suddenly caught up with him and gave him a sweet kiss.
10:27Balthazar melted into the warmth of the moment. As Alice prepared to head to work,
10:31she noticed a marking on a tree, with an arrow drawn on the ground. Following the arrow, step by
10:36step, she was surprised to find a tape recorder hidden beneath a chair. She put on the headphones,
10:41and Balthazar's voice began to play, an invitation for their next date. Alice eagerly hopped onto
10:47Balthazar's unique motorcycle as they weaved through the streets, their faces radiating pure joy. Once
10:53again, Alice felt the beauty of life, and this newfound happiness inspired her creativity at work.
11:00Her transformation did not go unnoticed. Her colleagues cheered for her, convinced that she
11:05would become even more remarkable. But life is often full of twists and turns, and reality tends
11:11to bring unpredictable drama. During one of their dates, Balthazar suddenly confessed his love to
11:16Alice. Overwhelmed with joy, she listened intently to his every word. However, a sudden call from her
11:22daughter pulled them back to reality.
11:24The disagreements of the family mother.
11:25Well, I'll do it with her.
11:28Are you sure?
11:29Yes, of course.
11:30When I'm 40 years old, you'll be 21 years old. When I'm 50 years old, you'll be 31 years old.
11:36What's going on once we'll be seen, again, again?
11:41At that moment, Balthazar fell silent. He had never truly considered these real-world complications and
11:46had no answer to give Alice. In the end, Alice had no choice but to walk away. Perhaps never meeting
11:53again was the best conclusion for them. After their separation, Balthazar spiraled into a state of
11:58despair. He shut himself away from the world, losing all enthusiasm for life. Alice wasn't faring any better.
12:05Her work hit a standstill. That day, an important client visited the office to select photo samples,
12:11but none seemed satisfactory. By chance, the client noticed Balthazar on Alice's computer wallpaper
12:17and immediately decided that Alice should invite him to model for the advertisement.
12:21Although Alice tried to refuse, Vincent agreed on the spot and even warned her in a threatening tone
12:26that if she failed to bring him in for the shoot, she would face the risk of losing her job.
12:31Alice was caught in a difficult predicament. She had no choice but to find Balthazar again
12:36and ask for his help. Reunited after a long time, there was no rekindled affection between them,
12:42only awkwardness and distance.
12:44Though Balthazar was reluctant, he still agreed to the photoshoot, hoping to use this opportunity to
12:49win Alice back. But during a casual conversation with Simon, Balthazar learned a truth that he found
12:55impossible to accept. Everything Alice had done for him before was merely for her career advancement.
13:01His heart plummeted. Yet, to protect Alice's dignity, he didn't confront her directly. Instead,
13:07in front of everyone, he suddenly pulled her into a deep kiss. Perhaps it was a way to vent his
13:12frustration, or maybe it was just to tease her in public. But during the shoot, when the
13:17photographer's unreasonable demands pushed him too far, Balthazar finally snapped. He realized he
13:23had become nothing more than a joke. He refused to endure the humiliation any longer and decided to
13:28walk away from the project. Sensing trouble, Alice quickly followed, pleading with him to finish the
13:33shoot. But seeing that Alice was still prioritizing work even now, Balthazar could no longer suppress his
13:39emotions.
13:50As he turned, he saw Vincent watching coldly from the sidelines. For a moment, Balthazar felt lost. He
13:56suddenly felt like a child who had done something wrong, because deep down, he still cared for Alice.
14:02Watching Balthazar leave in disappointment, Alice felt a wave of guilt and remorse wash over her. Later,
14:08Alice lost her job because of this incident, and she also lost herself. But only in such a low point
14:13could she truly listen to the voice of her own heart. Seeing others riding pink motorcycles,
14:18she searched but could no longer find the one that belonged to her. The old signpost still hung on the
14:24tree by her door, but now it had lost its arrow, its sense of direction. Silently, Alice pulled out the
14:31recorder. The moment she heard Balthazar's voice, she felt an unprecedented sense of security. At that
14:38moment, she finally understood. She had fallen deeply in love with the boy 20 years her junior. She no longer
14:45wanted reality to suppress her feelings. She decided to find Balthazar and pursue her love. She went to Balthazar's
14:52school and barged into his classroom, only to be mistaken for a substitute teacher and asked to give a lesson to the entire
14:58class. Frozen under the weight of everyone's gaze, Alice was at a loss. But when her eyes met Balthazar's,
15:05she made her choice. She decided to be brave once more for her own happiness.
15:10She said nothing. Instead, she leaned in and kissed him. In that instant, she cast aside all
15:40worries of age and societal norms, embracing the one she truly loved. Love is often unpredictable.
15:47It allows us to find the right person amidst the chaos of life. And as long as our hearts still
15:52burn with passion, we should have the courage to pursue our happiness.
