00:03My childhood buddy has always been a penny pincher.
00:07WeChat received $4.00.
00:09He even splits the bill for sweet bliss.
00:13He tells the elders he is saving up for my bride price.
00:17Good for you, Lu. Here is a big red envelope.
00:20Take it, we're family now.
00:22Thanks, Auntie.
00:25Until I saw his girl pal's post,
00:29I realized he is only cheap with me.
00:33You are something.
00:34Charlotte, if I don't reach out, you won't either.
00:36Still giving me the silent treatment after six months.
00:39What do you want?
00:40Such an ungrateful girl.
00:43Winter break is here, right?
00:45My uncle is driving me home.
00:46Your mom said you couldn't get a train ticket.
00:48Want a ride.
00:50Lucas, is this how you sweet talk a girl?
00:53Even I, your wingman, want to step in for you.
01:00Back off. I don't need your advice.
01:06I don't need you to take me home. Someone else will.
01:09Who is so nice to take you home?
01:11Don't tell me it is the train conductor.
01:14My boy.
01:15Stop being stubborn.
01:17See you at Eastgate in two days. I am hanging off.
01:20Is he the childhood buddy you mentioned?
01:22Yeah.
01:23If it weren't for him six months ago,
01:25I wouldn't have gone to the river so often,
01:26and I wouldn't have met you.
01:30These are-
01:31You said last time.
01:32These fake shoes costing a few dozen dollars were his birthday gift to you.
01:35He doesn't understand my Charlie at all.
01:37You deserve the best.
01:43I must have been blind to waste my time on a jerk like him.
01:49Top of your class for three years and a guaranteed grad spot.
01:52You are already amazed he doesn't deserve you.
01:55I'll need you to take me home for the break. That is your reward.
01:58Can I get a bigger reward?
02:06The first time I met Emily was at Lucas' birthday party.
02:10Hi, I am Lucas' best bro. We often game together at Game Hub Hotel.
02:14She is Charlotte Goodwin, my arranged fiancé.
02:18In this day and age, there are still such feudal nonsense like arranged marriages.
02:24Sorry, I am just really blunt.
02:26I am used to being casual with Lucas.
02:31Since when is being tactless called being blunt?
02:34Charlie, Emily is not like your girls.
02:36She is pretty laid back.
02:37Don't take it to heart.
02:39Alright, alright.
02:39The real deal today is celebrating your birthday.
02:41Cheers to you, Ron.
02:51Since when is Lucas so generous?
02:55Charlie will marry me anyway.
02:57No need to spend too much on her.
03:06This is the birthday gift you gave me in 10th grade bargain mart.
03:08Here is your $9.9 diamond necklace back.
03:10Charlie, what do you mean?
03:12You are so generous to others, but so cheap with me.
03:15If you like Emily, just go after her.
03:17Why play the buddy?
03:17I don't like her.
03:19She is a total tomboy.
03:20I am nice to her because her family is struggling.
03:23You know, my dad went bankrupt.
03:25That is why I developed a habit of being frugal.
03:28Emily reminds me of my hard childhood.
03:30To save her pride, I use the bed as an excuse to help her.
03:34What about me?
03:35Am I not worthy of a decent gift?
03:38Just because we're engaged, I have to pay for you.
03:42Your family isn't as poor as hers.
03:44Your parents can give you whatever you want.
03:46Why are you comparing yourself to her?
03:48Stop being unreasonable.
03:50I can't get through to you.
03:54You've got some nerve.
03:56Yelling at me like that.
04:00Late night snacks all the time.
04:03Charlie, your boyfriend is so attentive.
04:04Oh, right.
04:06Your childhood buddy waited for you downstairs for a long time last night.
04:09Are you still fighting?
04:10Not really fighting.
04:12We were never really together anyway.
04:18Charlotte, stop.
04:25What do you want?
04:28Isn't it just a bargain-mart necklace?
04:30Do you really need to hold a grudge for half a year?
04:32Since you think it is cheap, I just won't buy you stuff like that again.
04:35Lucas, do you really think it is just about a necklace?
04:42The day you had Japanese food with Emily,
04:45I had a high fever, and you wouldn't even bring me a meal.
04:49It was late.
04:50A cab to the hospital would cost at least $20.
04:52Couldn't you just order takeout?
04:53I am busy.
04:54Gotta go.
04:57Since I don't matter to you,
05:00Our childish arranged marriage ends right here.
05:05I got you breakfast.
05:07Be the bigger person.
05:08And calm down.
05:09Okay?
05:09Why bring up something from six months ago
05:11and try to make me calm down now?
05:14Why would I be mad?
05:15No need for breakfast.
05:16I already ate.
05:20So Filio today brought breakfast for your dad.
05:23Stop it.
05:23I am serious.
05:24Ooh.
05:25Trying to win the girl over.
05:26Want your strategist to give you some tips.
05:28Back off.
05:29Stop messing around.
05:30Don't underestimate me.
05:31I am a total chick magnet.
05:32Emily, why don't you refund your train ticket
05:34and ride with my uncle back home?
05:36Huh?
05:37Didn't you buy my train ticket?
05:39Refunding it now will cost a fee.
05:41And my place is 60 miles away from yours.
05:43Is that okay?
05:43I was gonna save the seat for someone,
05:46but she is so ungrateful.
05:48I might as well take my bro home.
05:50If someone apologizes to me,
05:53maybe I'll consider giving her a ride.
06:01Be right there.
06:04Lucas, your childhood buddy just ignored you.
06:07She'll definitely regret it.
06:19Holy crap.
06:20It is Mr. Shepherd.
06:21The guy only four years older than us.
06:23Who while still in college founded a tech company
06:25is Mr. Shepherd.
06:26Your boyfriend.
06:27Room 425 late night snack.
06:29God is here.
06:30Wanna sit up front?
06:31Of course.
06:33Oh.
06:33Look who decided to sit next to me.
06:40Don't flatter yourself.
06:42I am here for my crush.
06:43Ethan Shepherd.
06:44He is clearly my crush.
06:46Since when is he yours?
06:52Unbelievable, Charlotte.
06:53Since when did you become such a fangirl?
06:55Mr. Shepherd.
06:57New Year's is near.
06:58Can I set you up with a girlfriend?
07:00Sorry.
07:01I don't answer non-professional questions.
07:03But I should mention,
07:04I already have a girlfriend.
07:05No need for that.
07:14Who knew your childhood buddy likes this mature charm?
07:18Older guys.
07:19Bullshit.
07:19She is just fangirling.
07:21Ethan's not her type.
07:23Didn't you see how intently she stared at Mr. Shepherd?
07:26She was even recording him.
07:27Hey.
07:28You can speak louder.
07:29What?
07:30Isn't it normal for me to like him?
07:32Senior Shepherd is successful and handsome.
07:34So what if I am proud of recording him?
07:37He already has a girlfriend.
07:38You are already betrothed.
07:40So, stop dreaming.
07:41Huh?
07:42Childhood betrothals.
07:43That's futile nonsense.
07:45Who still believes in that?
07:49Wait.
07:53Charlie.
07:53Let me buy you dinner later.
07:55My treat.
07:55As an apology.
07:57Deal.
07:58I am busy.
08:01How did I never notice she is so stubborn?
08:05Maybe your childhood buddy is dating someone.
08:08What are you talking about?
08:09If she were dating someone, would she hang out with her roommate everyday?
08:12I know her best.
08:13How could I not know?
08:15Besides, our families are so close.
08:17If we wanted to right after graduation, we could just go get married.
08:21Huh.
08:21Whatever.
08:22Wait.
08:22Come help me pick out an expensive gift.
08:24I'll give it to her as a new year's gift.
08:26Ooh.
08:26Ooh.
08:27Ooh.
08:27Ooh.
08:28Ready to splurge to win your wife back.
08:29Win her back?
08:30My ass.
08:31She was always meant to be mine.
08:35Mr. and Mrs. Grant.
08:36Mom asked me to bring these blueberries.
08:42Charlie.
08:43The blueberries you grew just for me are so sweet.
08:45Stop it.
08:46These are for Mr. and Mrs. Grant.
08:48Lucas.
08:49I am hungry.
08:52Make your mama some breakfast.
08:55Quick.
09:02We were stuck in traffic last night.
09:04We got here in the middle of the night.
09:06Emily's place is over 50 miles away.
09:08So I let her stay the night.
09:09Yeah.
09:10We're just bros.
09:12We just chatted under the covers.
09:13Don't mind me, sis.
09:15Lucas and I are just neighbors.
09:16Don't call me sis.
09:18Who shared a blanket with you?
09:19Stop it.
09:20You clearly slept in my guest room.
09:24I just thought the mood was heavy.
09:25So I tried to lighten it up.
09:31Girls get mad so easily.
09:33Go cheer her up.
09:34If only she were half as chill as you.
09:37Oh my.
09:38I really misjudged him.
09:40If I knew Luke was so cheap and had no boundaries with women every year,
09:44I wouldn't have given him such big red envelopes.
09:46This guy looks like a good match.
09:48He is so handsome.
09:49He is perfect for my daughter.
09:51Ask him if he is free to visit us for New Year's.
09:55He actually wants to come visit you guys for New Year's.
09:58When he comes, Mom will give him a big red envelope.
10:06This is the first time I've served you speechless with joy, huh?
10:10Look at you.
10:11Finally getting it.
10:12You know how to treat her?
10:14Luke, Charlie likes chicken wings.
10:16Keep the drumsticks for yourself.
10:21Luke, you've been saving for Charlie's dowry for years.
10:24Have you saved enough?
10:25Still saving.
10:26Still working on it.
10:27I'll work harder after graduation.
10:30If I say this, Charlie will definitely be super touched.
10:33Just like before.
10:35No need to save anymore.
10:36Charlie has a boyfriend now.
10:37He is coming over tomorrow.
10:38Really?
10:40Don't joke around.
10:42Auntie, if Charlie really has a boyfriend, I'll eat this table.
10:51Happy New Year, Charlie.
10:54You are here.
10:55No need for gifts.
10:57It is my pleasure.
10:58Sorry everyone.
10:59I am late.
11:00I am Charlie's boyfriend.
11:01Ethan Shepard.
11:02Mr. Shepard!
11:07No way.
11:08It is really Mr. Shepard himself.
11:11But I just want to say.
11:12I have a girlfriend.
11:13No need for introductions.
11:17The girlfriend Mr. Shepard mentioned at the lecture is a Charlie.
11:21When did they meet?
11:23I had no idea.
11:27Dear Ethan, here is a red envelope from me.
11:32It is from my mom.
11:33Just take it.
11:34Thanks.
11:34Auntie.
11:35Happy New Year.
11:36That big red envelope was supposed to be mine.
11:39What a handsome young man.
11:41He and Charlie make a perfect match.
11:44What do you do for work?
11:46Auntie.
11:47I run my own company.
11:49Oh.
11:50Being a boss isn't easy these days.
11:53One bad project and you could go bankrupt overnight.
11:56I've been there kid.
11:58Young people should be more down to earth.
12:01My Lucas already got an offer from a big tech firm.
12:04He'll be a big tech employee right after graduation.
12:07We all know how valuable that is.
12:10Let's eat.
12:10Dad.
12:11That is enough.
12:15No need to be modest.
12:16Charlie's marrying someone else.
12:18Dad's a saving face for you.
12:20You know.
12:20Dad.
12:22You have no idea.
12:23Mr. Shepherd is my future boss.
12:25Mr. Goodwin.
12:27As parents, you should think long term for your daughter.
12:31Who is the real catch?
12:33Isn't it obvious?
12:35Yeah.
12:36Charlie.
12:37You need to keep your eyes open.
12:40I wonder which big company your son is joining.
12:42My son is joining Skyline Tech.
12:45I know.
12:46The apps I use on my phone every day.
12:48Several are made by Skyline Tech.
12:50Luke is doing great.
12:52Skyline Tech is hard to get into.
12:53Lucas is really capable.
12:54Ha ha ha.
12:55Ethan.
12:56What does your company do?
12:58If you want to work with Skyline Tech, you can have Luke put in a good word.
13:02Forget it.
13:03I am just a nobody.
13:05I can't influence company deals.
13:06Right?
13:08Skyline Tech is a billion dollar company.
13:11Working with small firms is beneath them.
13:13We can't force them.
13:15Uncle.
13:16Why don't you ask what Ethan's company is called?
13:24It is New Year's.
13:25Friends and family finally got together for a meal.
13:27No need to waste time interrogating.
13:30Charlotte.
13:31Why are you stirring the pot?
13:32Now.
13:33I get it.
13:34You brought Mr. Shepherd here today just to embarrass me.
13:36Ethan doesn't mind.
13:37Why so worked up?
13:38Lucas.
13:40Yeah.
13:41You kid.
13:42Sit still.
13:43Ethan.
13:43What is your company called?
13:45The name of my company.
13:46You might not have heard of it.
13:48Hmm.
13:49Too small.
13:50Too embarrassed to say.
13:52Look.
13:53I am a businessman too.
13:54If you need funding, I'll invest one hundred thousand dollars.
13:59That is a lot.
14:01You should save it for your retirement.
14:02I should support a young man's dreams.
14:06Ethan.
14:07What is your company called?
14:09Why so secretive?
14:11Hiding something.
14:11How can I invest?
14:13How can I invest?
14:14If you don't tell me.
14:15All right.
14:16I'll say it.
14:17Ethan's company is Shepherd Holdings.
14:19I haven't heard of Shepherd Holdings.
14:23We've been retired for years.
14:25It is normal to be out of the loop.
14:27Ethan.
14:28What does your company do?
14:30I can give you some pointers when I have time.
14:33Damn.
14:34Just shut up.
14:38My company is quite low key.
14:40But it owns a small subsidiary that you are all familiar with.
14:45Oh.
14:46Which one?
14:46It is the one you just mentioned.
14:48Skyline Tech.
14:49Ethan is the secret chairman of Skyline Tech.
14:51It is true.
14:53Impossible.
14:54The parent company behind Skyline Tech is worth at least a hundred billion.
14:57Young man.
14:58Don't talk big.
14:59Uncle Grant.
15:01You can check it out if you don't believe it.
15:07It really is Ethan's.
15:10There are photos.
15:12Ethan is so young and accomplished.
15:14Let me toast to you.
15:15Wishing you and Charlie a happy marriage.
15:21Number such an amazing Mr. Shepherd.
15:24And Charlotte are from completely different worlds.
15:27Could it be that Charlie has some dirt on him?
15:29Or he made a bet.
15:31So he came here to play house with Charlotte.
15:34That must be it.
15:38Charlotte.
15:39I don't know how you managed to get Mr. Shepherd to play along.
15:42Want me to regret it?
15:44No way.
15:45Mr. Goodwin.
15:46You are so lucky.
15:48To have such a great catch like Ethan.
15:50Charlie will have a great life ahead.
15:52Don't say that ma'am.
15:54I was just lucky.
15:55I caught the wave to get where I am.
15:58Lottie at Anderson U is top of her class every year.
16:01That is pure talent.
16:02Not luck.
16:04Having such an amazing girlfriend is my honor.
16:07Charlotte is just a boring bookworm.
16:09Mr. Shepherd is forcing it.
16:11Ethan is so sweet.
16:12Mr. Grant.
16:13Ethan is indeed nothing compared to your promising son Lucas.
16:16After all, Ethan is already a success.
16:18Yes.
16:18Yes, Ethan.
16:19Ah, no.
16:20CEO Shepherd.
16:20I was drunk and talking nonsense.
16:23I'll drink three shots.
16:26So generous, CEO Shepherd.
16:28Son, why don't you toast CEO Shepherd too?
16:30You're too kind, Uncle Grant.
16:31Mr. Shepherd, you might not know me.
16:33Charlie and I were promised to each other.
16:35Childhood sweethearts.
16:40Childhood engagement.
16:42You two must be very close.
16:44Of course.
16:46What is Lucas up to?
16:49Since we were kids, whenever Charlie had something fun, she'd share it with me first.
16:55She folded 100 stars for me and learned to cook for me.
17:00She takes my casual words to heart.
17:02The sneakers I glance at, she'd secretly buy them for me.
17:05A girl like her, could never like anyone else.
17:11Lucas, so you knew how good I was to do.
17:15So what?
17:16So, you can't possibly be Charlie's boyfriend, who matters most to Charlie.
17:21We all know very well.
17:23Are you saying Charlie and I are acting?
17:27Lucas, you think too highly of yourself for someone irrelevant like you to lie to the elders here.
17:32Why would I do that?
17:33The elders here all know.
17:35You said you'd be my bride, this year.
17:38Without a word, you brought a boyfriend home.
17:39Did you even think of me?
17:41We're just childhood sweethearts, not a couple.
17:44And definitely not married.
17:45You crossed the line with Emily first.
17:47Stop accusing me.
17:52Who is Emily Quinn?
17:57You might not know.
17:59Emily is the Grant's future daughter-in-law.
18:01She even stayed over at their place a few days ago.
18:04We'll be celebrating their wedding soon.
18:06So your family has good news too.
18:08I was just wondering, since Charlie has a boyfriend, what about Luke?
18:13Turns out, Luke has a girlfriend too.
18:16Haha.
18:16No.
18:17Luke and Emily are just friends.
18:19Uncle, Auntie, don't get me wrong.
18:25Good boy.
18:26Did you miss your dad for New Year's?
18:28Send a big red envelope to honor your dad.
18:32Just the friends, my fault.
18:34This girl, she has no sense of propriety.
18:36Are you having New Year's Eve dinner?
18:38Uncle and Auntie are there.
18:39Hi.
18:39Uncle and Auntie, thanks for taking care of me the other day.
18:42In a few days, my parents and I want to visit for New Year's.
18:44We'll talk about that later.
18:46We're busy here.
18:46Gotta go.
18:48Mr. Grant.
18:49The in-laws are coming for New Year's.
18:52Such great news.
18:53Why didn't you say a word?
18:54Luke and his girlfriend, how far have they gone?
18:56I need to prepare the wedding gift.
18:57It is not true.
18:58You are all misunderstanding.
19:03Emily is from the countryside.
19:04She is not a match for Luke.
19:06It won't work.
19:08So what if she is?
19:09Three generations back, who wasn't a farmer?
19:13As long as she is a good girl and Luke likes her, you two should just support them.
19:18I don't like Emily.
19:20Luke, a man must take responsibility.
19:23You brought her home.
19:24How can you not take responsibility?
19:26Emily and I are just bros.
19:28It is purely platonic.
19:29You can't say that.
19:31That phone call just now, everyone heard it loud and clear.
19:34You and that girl are more than just friends.
19:37Who would have thought Luke calls his girl that?
19:41I am old.
19:42I don't get young people's humor.
19:45Uncle, Auntie.
19:47Not all young people are like this.
19:49Are you guys done?
19:50Why are you all like Charlotte?
19:52You see fields everywhere.
19:54You are hopeless, Luke.
19:56You'd rather call us all blind than admit you crossed the line with Emily.
20:01I take back what I said about the bride price.
20:04Since you'll get married anyway, you still need to save up for it.
20:07I never wanted to marry Emily.
20:09She is a tomboy.
20:10She is used to acting like one of the guys.
20:12She is as laid back as the guy.
20:14She loves joking.
20:15Neither of us has feelings for each other.
20:18You punk!
20:18I am your dad!
20:23Are you that spineless?
20:25Got nothing better to do.
20:26Calling everyone dad.
20:28Well, it is getting late.
20:30We should head home.
20:30Dad.
20:31I am sorry.
20:33Charlotte.
20:34Everyone is getting up on me now.
20:36Are you happy with this?
20:37Lucas, are you okay?
20:38What does this have to do with me?
20:40I swear to God.
20:41Emily and I are completely innocent.
20:43Do you dare to swear?
20:44Is Mr. Shepherd really your boyfriend?
20:46Pathetic.
20:47I don't need to swear.
20:48You wouldn't dare.
20:50What Charlie means is, if one action can prove it, why would she need to swear?
20:57You... you guys...
21:00Charlie and I are in love.
21:01Do we need to prove more?
21:04Mr. Shepherd, what exactly do you see in Charlotte?
21:06I grew up with her.
21:08I know exactly what she is like.
21:10At the end of the day, she is just a spoiled, prissy little princess.
21:13So petty and so jealous, no man could stand her.
21:20Am I really that bad?
21:22Of course not.
21:24You are great.
21:26At least to me, you are the best in the world.
21:29Besides, my woman doesn't need to suffer.
21:32Some people lose a treasure without even knowing it.
21:35What a joke.
21:36Luke, Charlie was indeed spoiled growing up.
21:40If she stays single, her mom and I will support her for life.
21:45Don't worry about it.
21:47With Ethan around, I am sure Charlie will never be mistreated.
21:51Sorry to disappoint.
21:52Look, Lucas.
21:54Plenty of people treat me like a treasure.
21:56Why would I still be like before?
21:59Revolving around you.
22:01Charlotte!
22:02You've only known Mr. Shepherd for a short time.
22:05If he sees through you, he will definitely dump you.
22:08I think Skyline Tech should redo the hiring list.
22:11Mr. Shepherd, I've been feeling bad for you the whole time.
22:15You are a big man.
22:16Don't hold it against me.
22:18C.O. Shepherd, it is hard for kids to find jobs these days.
22:21Please be lenient.
22:22Just pretend Luke was talking nonsense.
22:24Okay?
22:25It wasn't easy for Charlie to get into grad school.
22:27But your son Luke, what did he just say about her?
22:29That she is spoiled and can't handle hardship.
22:32Mr. Grant, don't be so double standard.
22:36Luke, apologize.
22:37Mr. Shepherd, I was wrong.
22:40You shouldn't apologize to me.
22:42What?
22:46You should apologize to my girlfriend.
22:51Charlie, I am sorry.
22:54It is getting late.
22:55Ethan came all this way.
22:56He should get some rest.
22:58Mr. Grant, head back on your own.
23:00We won't see you out.
23:06Charlie, you showed me around the market for so long.
23:08Tired.
23:08Wanna sit down at a cafe?
23:09Sure.
23:21WeChat received $4.
23:24What is wrong?
23:25Are you too tired?
23:27Nothing.
23:27Just thinking about some bad memories.
23:31What is wrong?
23:32Hop on, I'll carry you.
23:34This is a pedestrian street, no cars allowed.
23:37Hope Charlie doesn't mind my bat you bumping.
23:43Look!
23:44That handsome guy is so sweet to his girlfriend.
23:55Lucas is still following us.
23:56Should we lose him?
23:57No.
23:58Just wait.
23:59He'll pop out soon enough.
24:14Charlotte.
24:15How can you be so intimate with another man in broad daylight?
24:22This new cafe is so cute.
24:24Can you go in with me for a photo?
24:29This place is just the Milky Capitalism trained girls.
24:32If you want coffee, there is one on this street.
24:34Just pick Lucky Brew or Coffee Cove with the best coupons.
24:41Lucas!
24:42Wait up!
24:45If I had given Charlie whatever she wanted, the one by her side now wouldn't be Mr. Shepherd.
24:51Sir, we require purchase.
24:53You've been sitting here for half an hour.
24:54If you are not buying anything, please leave.
24:56Who says?
24:58I am not buying anything.
24:59Bring the menu.
25:01The cheapest coffee.
25:03Ice Americano.
25:04$88 a cup.
25:06You are robbing me.
25:07See them.
25:08I am with them.
25:09They ordered a lot.
25:10Right?
25:10Just count one of those as mine.
25:12Okay, hold on.
25:13I'll go ask that couple.
25:15You think I am lying?
25:21No, no.
25:22I'll sit with them.
25:24Happy now.
25:26Well, I'll be.
25:27You learned something new.
25:29Lucas is coming over.
25:30Young people are so impatient.
25:32He has been following us for so long.
25:34What does he want?
25:35Probably reaping what he sowed.
25:37Wants to crawl back.
25:38Too bad.
25:39His pride won't let him swallow it for now.
25:41Crawl back?
25:42In his dreams.
25:43Small World.
25:44Charlie.
25:45Mr. Shepherd.
25:45You guys are here for coffee too.
25:47Yeah.
25:47Haven't ordered yet.
25:49Waiter.
25:49A menu.
25:50Actually.
25:53By the way.
25:54Lucas.
25:55We'll go Dutch like we used to.
25:57Right?
25:58Sure.
25:59I'll have an iced Americano.
26:00Nothing else.
26:02Okay sir.
26:0388 dollars.
26:04Please pay now.
26:12Mr. Shepherd.
26:13This street is boring.
26:14Girls like Charlie only know how to shop.
26:16How about I be your tour guide next.
26:18I'll make sure you have a blast.
26:20With me here.
26:21Ethan doesn't need a guide.
26:23Luke's idea is good.
26:25I'll leave it to you Luke.
26:26Don't mention it.
26:27Mr. Shepherd.
26:27I don't believe it.
26:28Knowing about Charlie and me.
26:30Mr. Shepherd won't mind.
26:31I don't know what Ethan's plan is.
26:33But going along with him is safe.
26:36Then we'll leave it to you.
26:37Let's go.
26:38Mr. Shepherd.
26:39The last stop is the amusement park Charlie.
26:41And I loved going to his kids.
26:42What kind of attraction is this?
26:44Lucas.
26:44You are not expecting us three adults to fight kids for the carousel.
26:47Are you?
26:48No way.
26:50Calm down.
26:51I am not here today to argue with Charlotte.
26:55When you first rode the roller coaster.
26:57You cried so hard.
26:58I had to buy you a cotton candy.
27:00To calm you down.
27:01Yeah.
27:02Costing you 3 dollars.
27:03You nagged me about it for 3 years.
27:06Did I?
27:07I don't remember.
27:10Look at that car.
27:11Once you got so car sick.
27:12You even threw up on me.
27:14Haha.
27:15What exactly are you doing?
27:16If you are here to expose my flaws.
27:18Then we're down here.
27:19Don't be like that.
27:20I didn't mean it.
27:21Don't you see this place and remember.
27:23That you promised me.
27:25We'd ride the ferris wheel every year.
27:26Yeah.
27:27Ever since the ferris wheel went from 8 dollars to 18 dollars once.
27:30You never rode it with me again.
27:31Unless I paid.
27:32Can we stop talking about money?
27:34Sorry.
27:34But your extreme frugality is hard to forget.
27:38It is getting dark.
27:40Let's go home.
27:40Can we stay a bit longer?
27:42I want to hear more about your childhood.
27:45Luke.
27:45This last stop.
27:46Is definitely my favorite spot.
27:49You are so thoughtful.
27:50Wait.
27:51This isn't right.
27:57I brought you here.
27:59Not to help you get to know Charlie.
28:01But to show you.
28:03That Charlie and I have many unique memories here.
28:07Luke.
28:07Charlie and I are going on the ferris wheel.
28:09You don't have to tag along.
28:11When school starts.
28:12Charlie and I will treat you to dinner.
28:13You must come.
28:20Charlotte.
28:20Every place we just visited holds memories of us growing up.
28:24Why are you acting so distant?
28:26It is just Emily Quinn.
28:28There is nothing between us.
28:30Why are you writing me off?
28:32Lucas.
28:33Have you heard.
28:34When the ferris wheel reaches the top.
28:36If two lovers kiss.
28:37They will be together forever.
28:40Stupid.
28:41Just a marketing trick.
28:42To trick you little girls into riding the ferris wheel more.
28:45Will they kiss at the top?
28:47Number.
28:48I can't let that happen.
28:52Ah.
28:53Charlotte.
28:54Do you really care that much about childish emotional needs?
28:58You want expensive gifts.
28:59And fancy coffee.
29:00Why didn't you just say so?
29:02I would have given them to you.
29:04Is this guy crazy?
29:05Yelling at a trash can.
29:08What are you looking at?
29:09Some rich guy stole my girl.
29:11Can I go crazy?
29:12Fine.
29:13Fine.
29:16If I give Charlotte a real diamond necklace.
29:19She'll definitely come back to me.
29:21It is just money.
29:22Right?
29:23I have plenty.
29:24Lucas.
29:25You are still here.
29:26Charlie.
29:27We need to talk about our misunderstanding.
29:29There is no misunderstanding.
29:30You are just mad I was cheap with you.
29:32But generous to Emily.
29:33Right?
29:33Stop it.
29:34I'll let you play around this time.
29:35But you need to understand.
29:37Don't just look at the surface.
29:38If a guy spends a lot on you.
29:40Is he really treating you well?
29:42Are you saying?
29:43I am not sincere with Charlie.
29:45You are underestimating Charlie.
29:47She is not a girl who sells herself short.
29:50Lucas.
29:51Turns out.
29:52In your heart.
29:53I am not worthy of love.
29:58Charlie.
29:59You misunderstood me.
30:00Mr. Shepard.
30:01A little meddling.
30:02Won't shake Charlie and my years of love.
30:05Cut the crap.
30:06Didn't Emily shake you up?
30:08Why bring up Emily again?
30:10You still think you are innocent.
30:12What else?
30:13You probably didn't even notice.
30:15You are using the best bros excuse.
30:17To enjoy the thrill of crossing the line.
30:21What?
30:21You are just hoping to convince yourself you are just bros.
30:25She might not be fooling herself like you.
30:27Honestly.
30:28Since a girl played your bro game for so long.
30:31Stop holding her back.
30:33What are you talking about?
30:34If you had any boundaries.
30:36You wouldn't be acting like bros.
30:38Every time I see you two so close.
30:39It makes me sick.
30:41I can't deal with it.
30:42So I will just avoid it.
30:43We are never getting back together.
30:45Stop bothering me.
30:46Are you done?
30:47Who doesn't have friends of the opposite sex?
30:49Yeah.
30:49But not everyone is like you and Emily.
30:51So shameless.
30:52You think only sleeping together crosses the line.
30:54Between us.
30:55It was never about Emily.
30:56It is not about you being generous or cheap.
30:58It is that from the start.
30:59You never treated me as your equal.
31:01Found you.
31:02My boy.
31:05Why are you here?
31:08Did you forget?
31:10I said my parents and I were coming over.
31:12Why weren't you home today?
31:13Your parents said you were here.
31:14So I came to find you.
31:15Let's go home for dinner.
31:17Charlie, your mom texted.
31:19Dinner is almost ready.
31:20Let's head home.
31:21Isn't this Mr. Shepherd?
31:23Didn't expect you and Charlotte to be a couple.
31:25Your childhood friend is quite resourceful, huh?
31:27No wonder she dumped her arranged marriage.
31:29Just climbing the social ladder.
31:31I have no tricks.
31:32Birds of a feather flock together.
31:34I get it.
31:34Too bad honest folks like us.
31:35Can't get rich quick.
31:36We just have to study and find jobs the old fashioned way.
31:39I wonder.
31:39This honest classmate.
31:41What is her major rank this year?
31:42Have some manners.
31:43Grades aren't the only measure of a person.
31:46Forget it.
31:47Lucas.
31:47I am just bad with words.
31:49I made Charlie upset.
31:53Charlotte.
31:54Aren't you upset that I treat Emily better?
31:56I'll make it perfectly clear.
31:58Okay.
31:58Go on.
31:59You've always had a good life.
32:01Your parents spoiled you growing up.
32:02Emily's family is nothing like yours.
32:04Her parents favored boys.
32:05She suffered way more than us to get into Anderson.
32:07That is why.
32:08I can't help but treat her better.
32:10She's had it rough.
32:11You are a good friend.
32:12So what does that have to do with me?
32:17You have it so easy.
32:18I'd have married you.
32:20Why couldn't you just be the bigger person?
32:22You think you are so great.
32:25Are you awake now?
32:26You wanna fight?
32:27Come on.
32:28Let's go.
32:29Enough.
32:31Since my son says so.
32:32Fine.
32:33No fight.
32:34Let me tell you.
32:35I might not beat you in grades.
32:37But in anything else.
32:38I'll go all the way.
32:40Stop embarrassing yourself.
32:43There is no point in comparing us.
32:45Someone might be sweet to you.
32:47But to me.
32:48They are a rotten egg with flies.
32:51Shout a good one.
32:52I am a rotten egg with flies.
32:53Then.
32:54What is he?
32:55You think you are in the same league?
32:57Just wait and see.
32:58Once you are out there.
32:59You'll realize the huge gap between you and Mr. Shepard.
33:02You are young and gullible now.
33:03And still new to him.
33:04What about later?
33:04Men know men best.
33:06When Mr. Shepard gets tired of lowering his standards.
33:08He'll dump you without a second thought.
33:09Sorry.
33:10I saw a mosquito on your face.
33:12Do you mind if I swat it?
33:18Charlie.
33:19Let's go home.
33:21Charlie.
33:22Wait.
33:23Stop yelling.
33:24They are gone.
33:25Mom's food is getting cold.
33:27Let's go home.
33:27Stop pulling me.
33:28That is not right.
33:29What is wrong?
33:30Suddenly acting like a shy girl.
33:32So awkward.
33:32From now on.
33:33We should keep some distance.
33:34Don't worry.
33:35I'll still treat you like a bra.
33:36Wait.
33:37What did Charlie say now?
33:39I am a girl.
33:40And I don't mind you touching me.
33:41You are a guy.
33:42Why are you so uptight?
33:45It is not her.
33:46Anyway.
33:47We need to change how we interact.
33:49To avoid gossip.
33:50It is bad for your reputation.
33:51I don't care about my reputation.
33:53I do.
33:55Okay.
33:55You don't want a boyfriend.
33:56But I am still waiting for Charlie.
33:58Are you serious?
33:59She already has a boyfriend.
34:00They are just playing around.
34:02It won't last.
34:04She will come back to me.
34:07Lucas.
34:08From the start.
34:08Is there no chance for us at all?
34:10It took so much to get this far.
34:12I can't just give up.
34:17A full set of blue enigma.
34:19Now, your childhood sweetheart should change her mind.
34:21By the way, where is your diamond necklace?
34:23Of course.
34:24I brought it.
34:27This original necklace cost me all my pocket money.
34:30Oh my.
34:30If she still doesn't appreciate it.
34:32She is really ungrateful.
34:33She is here.
34:33Good luck.
34:34I am out.
34:36Charlotte.
34:37You better let Lucas give up for good.
34:39That way, I'll have a better chance.
34:41Charlie.
34:41Here is my new year's gift for you.
34:43A blue enigma set.
34:44I think this is the most expensive brand.
34:46Thanks.
34:47But I don't need it.
34:48Keep it for your mom or Emily.
34:51Wait.
34:53You still have the necklace you gave me.
34:56No.
34:56Look closely.
34:57It is the original.
34:58Cost me $100,000.
34:59You really splurged.
35:01Is this your bride price for Emily?
35:06No way.
35:07Does she deserve it?
35:08This is for you?
35:09She doesn't need it.
35:10Luke.
35:11A $100,000 necklace.
35:13Isn't good enough for my girlfriend.
35:15Keep it for yourself.
35:16Luke.
35:17Charlie and I are going for a ride.
35:19Move aside.
35:22Don't be sad, bro.
35:23I saw everything.
35:24While with Mr. Shepherd around,
35:26you really don't stand a chance.
35:28So I'll wait until we're back at school
35:30to win Charlie back.
35:31As long as Charlie and Mr. Shepherd are apart,
35:34I'll have a chance.
35:35So what if Mr. Shepherd is rich?
35:37Once school starts,
35:38I'll be the only one by Charlie's side.
35:40Alright.
35:41Then I'll keep an eye on the girl's throne for you.
35:43Bro.
35:43Emily.
35:44Glad you are here to help.
35:47That is what bros are for.
35:50Lucas.
35:51When are you gonna give up?
35:55What era is this?
35:56Still confessing like this.
36:01Charlie.
36:02I am almost at your door.
36:03I'll be right down.
36:05Charlie.
36:07Lucas.
36:08Are you confessing to Emily?
36:11What does she have to do with this?
36:12This is for you.
36:14Charlie.
36:15Forgive me.
36:16Forgive him.
36:17Forgive him.
36:18We were betrothed at birth.
36:19You said it yourself.
36:21You'd follow me anywhere.
36:23We're meant to be together forever.
36:26So they're childhood sweethearts.
36:29Charlie.
36:31I've humbled myself this much.
36:32You are giving me no face at all.
36:34I don't know who you are putting on the show for.
36:36I am busy.
36:37No time for your embarrassment.
36:39Lucas.
36:40Let go of me.
36:43So many students are watching.
36:44You are just leaving like this.
36:45Where do I put my face after tonight?
36:47You wanted the big show.
36:48Why can't you face the consequences?
36:49If you don't let go, I'll call for help.
36:50Go ahead.
36:51Everyone will just think we're a couple fighting.
36:53Who'll help you?
36:55Who?
37:01Ethan.
37:05Am I seeing this right?
37:07Is that Mr. Shepard?
37:08So late at night.
37:09Why is Mr. Shepard at the girls dorm?
37:10Did he hurt your wrist?
37:11No.
37:16Mr. Shepard is holding her hand.
37:17Mr. Shepard's girlfriend is actually our classmate.
37:20Then what is her relationship with Lucas?
37:22Is she two timing them?
37:23Everyone.
37:24My girlfriend is not a player.
37:26I trust her character.
37:28If certain pests dare to bother my girlfriend again,
37:30I don't mind taking the time to have a chat.
37:34Let's go.
37:37Charlotte.
37:38You are something else.
37:39The day Mr. Shepard dumps you, crying to me won't help.
37:43If I go cry to her, will she take me back?
37:49Even if you died for her, it wouldn't matter.
37:51Stop drinking.
37:53Stop it.
37:56Hello.
37:57Hello, is this Lucas Grant?
37:58You don't need to report to Skyline Tech.
38:00Due to your personal conduct issues, Skyline Tech is rescinding your offer.
38:03Please find another job.
38:04Goodbye.
38:05It must be Charlotte who had Ethan ruin your job.
38:08Charlie isn't like that.
38:09Mr. Shepard must hate me for pursuing Charlie at school,
38:12so he revoked my offer.
38:14Fine.
38:15Your childhood friend is a saint.
38:17Are you finally giving up?
38:18They're head over heels for each other.
38:20You are not even in the picture.
38:24Since I was little, I've always seen Charlie as my future wife.
38:27How can I accept her marrying someone else?
38:30Do you really like Charlotte, that little girl?
38:33Why waste your time on her?
38:36What do you mean?
38:37All my life, Charlie's the only one closest to me.
38:40Who else would I marry?
38:41What about me?
38:43What?
38:45Lucas, can't you tell that I've always liked you?
38:47You are so clueless, treating me like a bro.
38:50From now on, I am done being your bro.
38:52I want to be your girlfriend.
38:53What are you saying?
38:55How could I ever be with you?
39:00Anyone can see we're flirting.
39:02I don't believe you are clueless.
39:04You clearly have feelings for me.
39:06No.
39:07I just see you as a bro.
39:09You misunderstood.
39:11No way.
39:12You are so attentive to me.
39:14You noticed my poor background right away.
39:17You made excuses to give me money.
39:19What daily items of mine didn't you buy for me?
39:22If you don't have feelings for me,
39:24why are you so good to me?
39:26I just felt sorry for you.
39:28My family went bankrupt when I was a kid.
39:30You remind me of my younger self,
39:32so I couldn't help but help you.
39:33Who knew you'd misunderstand?
39:35I couldn't have misunderstood.
39:37Lucas, think about it.
39:39Are you not happy when you are with me?
39:40You are clearly happier with me than with Charlotte, right?
39:43Well...
39:47You are always so slow to realize your own feelings.
39:50You don't actually like Charlotte.
39:53You are just used to being with her.
39:56Especially now that she has a boyfriend.
39:59You mistook your jealousy for love.
40:02No.
40:03I don't like Charlie.
40:04You can't like her anymore.
40:06From today on, you can only like me.
40:08You are crazy.
40:10Yes.
40:11I am crazy.
40:12To play this role with you for so long.
40:14I am a girl.
40:16Why would I be your bro?
40:17I only played along because I like you.
40:19Do you really think men and women can be just friends?
40:22I am not taking this anymore.
40:24Calm down.
40:24We are not possible.
40:26Let's not contact each other anymore.
40:30Lucas, you messed with me, so you can't escape.
40:34I'll show you that.
40:35Getting rid of me is impossible.
40:40Charlie, I need a favor.
40:42Can you ask Mr. Shepherd not to revoke my offer?
40:44That is his business.
40:46I shouldn't interfere.
40:47You are his girlfriend.
40:48Isn't it just a word from you?
40:50You won't even do this.
40:51Are you looking down on me?
40:52Whatever you say.
40:54By the way, I heard you and Emily are getting married after graduation.
40:57Wishing you both happiness.
40:59That is just a rumor.
41:00Emily spread.
41:01Charlie, I was really naive in the past.
41:03There is no such thing as true friendship between men and women.
41:06Emily really confessed her feelings to me.
41:09Lovers finally together.
41:10Isn't that a good thing?
41:12We're not lovers.
41:14I drew a line with her right then and there.
41:16I didn't expect her to spread rumors saying I took her home to meet my parents.
41:19She is not wrong.
41:21You should reflect on yourself and how many things you did to make her misunderstand.
41:25Yeah.
41:26Instead of this, before graduation, work on your last few courses and get top of the class.
41:31Skyline Tech might just reissue your offer.
41:33Top of the class?
41:34Huh.
41:35How hard could that be?
41:39Charlie, did you hear?
41:41Lucas and Emily got expelled.
41:43What happened?
41:45Lucas got caught cheating and lost his degree and diploma.
41:48His grades weren't even that bad.
41:50Why would he suddenly cheat?
41:52As for Emily, she was anonymously reported.
41:56She has worn designer brands for four years and lied about her family's finances for eight.
42:01The school verified it and asked for a refund, but she refused and was rude, so she got expelled.
42:07No wonder they're not here for the ceremony.
42:11Charlie!
42:12Look who is here!
42:14Charlie.
42:15Happy graduation.
42:17I'll walk the rest of the way with you.
42:19Some get lost in youth.
42:21Some get lost in youth.
42:22Some get lost in youth.
42:23Some wait at the finish line.
42:24Graduation is an end.
42:26And the best beginning.
42:31I'm trying to realize how hard it's been to me.
42:32They don't have to be the fifth century.
