Xi Men Pian


Xi Men and Mei Zuo are walking. Suddenly, they stopped and slowly turned around and saw someone. Xiao You is standing in a green top, smiling.
Mei Zuo: "Xiao You?"
Xi Men looks surprised. Mei Zuo is smiling at him.
Mei Zuo: "Xi Men, if you suddenly rush over there and embrace her, it's possible that your playboy days may be over."
Xi Men just looks at him, smiling. He smiled and walked towards Xiao You.
Xi Men (sounding a bit hesitant):" When did you return?"
Xiao You (still smiling):" Last night."
Xi Men: "Have you contacted San Cai and Qing He?"
Xiao You: "Not Yet. I came back because of you. Can we arrange to meet 
later?"
Xi Men: "Sure. I'll give you first priority and let you cut in."
Xiao You: "Then when can you schedule me in?"
Xi Men:" I already have plans for tonight."
Xiao You:" I understand. (looks down and then smiles at him) Then all 
your time tomorrow is mine. (flashes him a big smile and waves) Bye bye."
Mei Zuo walks over to where Xi Men is standing.
Mei Zuo: "From the looks of it, Xiao You is no longer the type of girl you fear the most. But her change is a bit unnatural."
Xi Men only nods. A smile is still plastered on his face.

Xiao You is running down the stairs, panting a bit. She smiles at her accomplishment. She starts walking again.

Mei Zuo and Xi Men are in a pub, sitting and surrounded by women.
Mei Zuo: "It's been alright."
Girl 1: "No way, you've been rotting at home."
Mei Zuo: "Ummm...I..."
Girl 1: "Well?"
Girl 2: "Why haven't you contacted us lately?"
Mei Zuo: "I've been really busy recently. So I couldn't."
Girl 1: "Not even for a call?"
Xi Men is sitting there, drink in hand, watching the scene disinterestedly.
Mei Zuo: "Really, I've been very busy. Some of my friends are having problems so I really couldn't do anything. I'm really sorry. We'll go out next time."
Girl 1: "Next time again?"
Mei Zuo: "Aren't we with you guys now?"
Girl 1: "It's a rare occurrence."
Mei Zuo: "It's not."
Girl 2: "Yeah, we've booked a private room, too. You have to go with us."
Girl 1:" It's almost time, and you call us to meet you."
Mei Zuo looks at the bored and brooding Xi Men.
Girl 1: "So you can't back out on your word."
Girl 2: "Let's go, hurry up."
Xi Men is getting ready to stand up when Mei Zuo asked a question.
Mei Zuo: "Which private room did you reserve? The one next door?"
Girl 1:"Yeah."
Mei Zuo: "Okay, leave a word at the door. We'll look for you later."
Girl 1: "Okay."
Girl 2: "Really?"
Mei Zuo: "Really. I just need to talk to my friend here first."
Girl 1: "Hurry, we'll be waiting."
Mei Zuo: "Okay."
Girl 1: "Bye bye."
Mei Zuo (waves): "Bye bye. (waves again) Bye bye."
Xi Men: "Why didn't we leave with them?"
Mei Zuo: "You tell me. You haven't smiled all night. Also, I bumped into Xiao You just now and I told her that you would be here."
Xi Men: "You're such a busybody."
Mei Zuo: "Maybe. Stop nagging. You should know Xiao You's intentions towards you by now."
Xi Men: "What intentions? I already know that for myself. It's a woman a week."
Mei Zuo: "Yeah, yeah...Here you go again. Your famous phrase...it's not something that everyone follows, okay?"
Xi Men:" I can't be bothered explaining it to you. "
Xi Men leaves the table. Mei Zuo shakes his head and pops some food in his mouth and watched Xi Men. Xi Men walks towards the bar where 2 women were sitting and chatting.
Xi Men: "Hi. Can I have a drink with you? (the women nod) My name is Xi Men."
Woman 1 (raises her glass to Xi Men and cheers): "Nice to meet you."
Mei Zuo sighs at what he is seeing and reaches for his glass when his eyes fell on the door. Xiao You was entering the pub.Xiao You sees Xi Men talking to the women at the bar. She slowly walks towards an empty spot and sits down. 
Mei Zuo walked to bar and gave the women a brief wave. He taps Xi Men's shoulder.
Mei Zuo: "Xiao You is here."
Xi Men looked towards Xiao You and just took a sip of his drink.Meanwhile, a man approaches Xiao You.
Man: "Miss, are you here by yourself?"
Xiao You: "I'm alone."
Man: "Then can I sit down?"
Xiao You: "Sorry, I prefer you don't sit here."
Man: "Would it matter?"
Xiao You: "I really wish you wouldn't sit here."
Man: "All right then, enjoy yourself. Bye bye."
Xiao You: "Thank you."
The man walks away. Someone stops in front of Xiao You and calls her.
Voice: "Miss. Would you like something to drink?"
Xiao You looks up and sees Xi Men.
Xi Men: "The guy before didn't look too bad."
Xiao You: "Really? I didn't notice."
Xi Men: "When you come here, it's to make friends. You can exchange cell phone numbers. It's no big deal."
Xiao You: "To you it's not a big deal. Because to you, those girls are just phone numbers. You can do that because you're Xi Men."
Xi Men: "You can too, Xiao You."
Xiao You: "You really think it's okay? I can accept your playboy attitude because I know this is how you are. I can accept that, I don't mind. But you want me to be like you. Be with other guys and fool around. What does this mean? That you would never care what I think? What I feel?"
Xi Men: "In other words, you cannot afford to play in this league. Xiao You, our lifestyles and attitudes are too different. Don't force yourself."
Xiao You stands up and walks to the guy who hit on her a while ago. She taps him on his shoulder.
Xiao You: "When you spoke to me, what did you have in mind? A date, kissing or just sleeping together? Just say the word. I'll do anything I just mentioned with you."
Mei Zuo hears all this and looks at Xiao You in disbelief. 
Xi Men (grabs Xiao You): "Come with me."
Xi Men dragged Xiao You outside.
Xiao You: "What? Just like those girls by your side...I can afford to play. Isn't this what you wanted?"
Xi Men: "What exactly do you want?"
Xiao You: "I thought of you everyday while I was in Canada. So I had to come back. I can't let go."
Xi Men (shouting): "I only know how to treat a woman like this! Don't you understand? (calms) For me, the boundaries between friends must be very clear. (shouts again) I don't want to hurt you!
Xiao You (defiantly): "You won't hurt me. Whenever I see you playing these games with those girls, I only see you hurting yourself."
Xi Men sighs.

Outside McDonald's, they are sitting in a bench. 
Xi Men: "Your expectations of me are too high. You'll be disappointed."
Xiao You:" I just don't want to see you in this kind of lifestyle."
Xi Men: "All right. It looks like if I'm not honest with you, you won't give up. I never thought that I would speak of this ever again. I once liked a girl. It was during high school, near graduation. It was probably the only time in my life that I really liked a girl."
Xiao You: "Did you tell her?"
Xi Men (shakes his head): "By the time I realized, it was already over. My one regret is not showing up in the end."
Xiao You: "Not showing up?"
Xi Men: "I'll tell you something even more disgusting. Do you know what I was doing at that moment? I was in bed with another girl. From way back, I was used to fooling around with girls who were just names to me."

***FLASHBACK***
A girl in a tube top falls on the bed. Xi Men lies on top of her. He's about to kiss her neck (lucky woman!) when someone barges on the door.
Xiao Gen (the girl who barged in on Xi Men and the girl): "Xi Men. You came in from the back again."
Girl: "Who is she?"
Xi Men: "What are you doing here?"
Xiao Gen (flashes a smile): "I'm here with tea and snacks. Then...let's all three of us eat together."
Girl:" I think we should forget it today. I'll go first."
Xi Men: "She's just a friend, we grew up together."
Xiao Gen (to the girl): "Although this isn't great tea.... (sits down on the bed with Xi Men) I'm sorry...I'm sorry."
Xi Men: "You really know how to pick a time. And you made tea from our house and said that it isn't great tea."
Xiao Gen: "No...I was just shopping and ended up near your neighborhood and ran into your mother. It's just that I bought a new flavoured snack. I thought I'd share and let you try it. So I chatted with your mother and waited for you to come home. Then..."
Xi Men (shouts): "Then!"
Xiao Gen (quietly): "Then..."
Xi Men: "Okay...forget it. Forget it...I don't blame you. Snack."
Xiao Gen: "New flavour. Hurry up and try it."
Xi Men: "Sweet?"
Xiao Gen: "But I heard that it's really tasty."
Xi Men's voice over: "When Xiao Gen was little...Since her mother and mine were close friends, she was often at my house. The first time we met, she was carrying a bag of snacks. It became a habit. Whenever there was a new snack, she would buy it for us to eat. Xiao Gen and I grew up together. She was the only one I ever felt was a close friend and not a girlfriend."
Xiao Gen (laughing): "Those were the fun days. I want to play again."
Xi Men: "Are you an idiot? You've grown up and you still think about playing. Hey, you're almost 18. You should find a boyfriend."
Xiao Gen: "You don't have a steady girlfriend either."
Xi Men: "I'm different than you. Everyday, I'm living the "yi qi yi hui" life. "
Xiao Gen: "What is "yi qi yi hui"?"
Xi Men:" I already told you before. It's a saying in a Japanese doctrine. It means that...the change that just passed before you might never come again. In English, it's called "very moment".
Xiao Gen: "So philosophical. So your "very moment" in a year, there are almost 365 of them, right?"
Xi Men's phone starts ringing.
Xiao Gen: "Wow, so piercing."
Xi Men (answers the phone): "Hello. Julia. Of course I remember. (pauses) Right now? No problem. (looks at watch) I'll be there in about 30 minutes. Bye. (to Xiao Gen) I'm sorry but I have a date."
Xiao Gen: "It's okay. I should be heading home anyway."

Xi Men's voice over (scene: Xi Men in bed with a girl): I like girls because they are gentle and mesmerizing. Also because I like these meaningless things and empty embraces.
Girl in bed (lucky woman!): "You always say that. But I know that you're seeing other girls too. So who do you love the most?"
Xi Men: "Of course it's you, Julia."
Julia: "You're lying."
Xi Men: "It's the truth."
Julia: "If that's the truth, then you shouldn't be with other girls."
Xi Men: "Oh."
Julia: "What does "oh" mean?'
Xi Men: "Is being together forever important? But I think that being happy now is more important. Also, discussing an unclear relationship is really annoying."

Xi Men is sitting by the garden when his mother calls him.
Mum: "Xi Men. Xi Men, our tea ceremony tomorrow...Will you represent us?"
Xi Men: "But I have plans tomorrow. Why isn't dad going?"
Mum: "Your father is in Hong Kong for a meeting."
Xi Men: "Oh..."
Xi Men's voice over: "Looking at my mother's expression, I knew Dad was probably with his mistress."
Mum: "If only your older brother is here."
They both sit down.
Mum: "How's your schoolwork recently?"
Xi Men:" It's pretty good."
Xi Men's voice over: "My easygoing brother couldn't stand this family's hypocrisy so he left. This house, from the outside looks grand, but in reality, it's already broken."

Xi Men is sitting on his bed. He still looks sad and out of it. Xiao Gen enters his room quietly.
Xiao Gen: Hi. (waves and smiles) "I'm here again."
Xi Men: "Why didn't you say something? You scared me."
Xiao Gen: "I deliberately wanted to scare you."
Xi Men stands up and sits on the edge of the bed's board. Xiao Gen walks to where Xi Men is and pulls out something from her bag.
Xiao Gen (handing the snack to Xi Men): "New flavour."
Xi Men (opens the snack): "Sweet?"
Xiao Gen: "Honestly, I've been to your house so many times and I still think your room is too bland. Look at the other rooms, like the living room, it's so bright and cheerful. Only your room is so simple. "
Xi Men: "All that decorativeness took effort. Also, my mum did it. "
Xiao Gen (nods): "That's true. Hey, if in this area, I put in a teddy bear this big (extends her arms to her side)....How about it? "
Xi Men (shakes his head): "Nope."
Xiao Gen: "Really? If this were my room, I'd put tons of cute stuff. But my room is only 18 square feet. I can barely fit in it. "
Xi Men's voice over: "In truth, I knew Xiao Gen has seen the loathing and moodiness in my eyes before. But she would never push and ask. She would just smile and act silly. Looking at Xiao Gen's smile, my cold house would also appear brighter."
Xiao Gen: "Why don't guys like rag dolls? I think rag dolls are very cute."
Xi Men: "Who would be interested in such stuff. Also, it makes no difference to me. (sits on the floor to pick up some chips) You're just like a rag doll."
Xiao Gen: "Really? I'm like a rag doll? (sits on the floor as well) Then I'll position myself like this. (poses like a rag doll) And stay in your room."
Xi Men's voice over:" I thought that our relationship wouldn't change. That it would be like this forever."
Xi Men: "You really like to kid around. All right. (places the bag of snacks on the side) If you want to be a rag doll then you can't move. You can't move no matter what. (laughs at the unmoving Xiao Gen and taps her on the forehead) You really know how to kid around. (Xiao Gen loses balance and starts to fall over, her head about to hit a cabinet. Xi Men rushes to save her) Watch out! The cabinet...(Xi Men is now on top of Xiao Gen while she's wrapped in his arm. They look at each other and Xiao Gen closes her eyes, waiting for Xi Men's kiss. Xi Men only stares at her and disentangles himself from her.)"
Xi Men (reproachfully):" If you wanted to kid around, you should have checked behind you. That's very dangerous. And we got the snacks all over the floor. (starts picking up the snacks)"
Xiao Gen (pulling herself to a sitting position): "Xi Men, (reaches to touch him) I think..."
Xi Men: "Are you hungry? (stands up) I think you should cut down on these snacks. You look malnourished. (walks away from Xiao Gen and looks disoriented)"
Xiao Gen:" I think I looked more like a rag doll back then."
Xi Men (turns around): "So so. You look pretty much like before. But I don't know about the future. "
Xiao Gen (smiles sadly): "Am I like I was before?"
Xi Men: "Of course. We're just like before. Nothing has changed a bit. Let's go and eat. (walks towards the door)"
Xiao Gen (smiles sadly and slowly pulls herself up): "Let's go and eat."

Xi Men is in another pub with Mei Zuo. He looks confused.
Mei Zuo: "Xi Men, you're spacing out. "
Xi Men: "Was I? (Mei Zuo nods) I guess I was thinking of stuff."
Mei Zuo (looks at the pack of girls on the other table): "Today's crowd isn't bad."
Xi Men (looks at the next table): "All right."
Mei Zuo: "Why do you look so reluctant?"
Xi Men: "Nothing...Let's go. '
They both stand up and walk towards the table.
Xi Men: "Excuse me, but is someone sitting here?"
Mei Zuo: "Mind if we join you?"
Xi Men's voice over: "I know that my lifestyle is without meaning, but I can only be this way. The gleam in Xiao Gen's eyes causes me to feel 
flustered."
Mei Zuo throws something at Xi Men.
Xi Men: "Why are you worried about anyone telling the story?"

Outside, Xiao Gen is walking with her two friends.
Friend 1: "The KTV was so satisfying. We sang so many songs."
Friend 2: "Yeah...but there are no more buses at the station."
Friend 1: "We don't do it often. Also, it's rare having Xiao Gen out with us."
Xiao Gen: "Once in a while."
Friend 2: "Yeah, Xiao Gen."
Friend 1: "Are you going to date Xiao Touh?"
Friend 2: "Yeah. He appears to like you a lot."
Xiao Gen: "What are you guys saying? There's no such thing."
Friend 1:" Don't be embarrassed. Xiao Touh is not bad."
Friend 2: "Hey, I just recalled that the building in front has a beautiful swimming pool at the top. Should we go there and sit?"
Friend 1: "Yeah, let's go sit there until morning and catch the first bus out, okay?"
Xiao Gen: "Next time...It's late."
Friend 1: "It's okay."
Friend 2: "Yeah...come on."
Friend 1: "Don't be a spoilsport."

Xiao Gen and her 2 friends enter a door and climb the stairs heading to the rooftop. 
Xiao Gen (turns to her friend as they continue to ascend): "How did you find this place?"
Friend 1: "It's pretty isn't it?"
Friend 2: "Yeah and there's no one around tonight."
Friend 1:" Let's hurry and go up. "(They climb the stairs faster)

When they reach the top, they find a huge swimming pool situated at the center.
Friend 1: "Isn't it pretty?"
Xiao Gen: "Yeah!"
Friend 2: "Also there's no one around tonight."
Xiao Gen: "How did you guys find this place?"
Friend 1: "Really pretty, huh?"
Friend 2: "From here you can see a beautiful night skyline."
Xiao Gen: "Really?"
Friend 1: "It's so comfortable."

Dawn is breaking. Xiao Gen's friends are sleeping peacefully, their heads propped on the table. Xiao Gen is awake, staring at the sky, watching the rising of the sun. There's a content and peaceful smile on her face. She's looking around her when her eyes sees something in the sky. The rays of the sun are shining so radiantly and she is smiling, as if discovering something beautiful. Xi Men's voice echoes in her head,
Xi Men's voice over: "We won't change. Isn't that right, Xiao Gen?"

Xi Men presses the "play" button of his answering machine.
Message 1: "Xi Men, it's Angela. Why haven't you called me?"
Message 2: "Xi Men, it's Julie. (in a very whiny voice) Why haven't you come by to see me?"
Message 3: "Xi Men. It's me, Xiao Gen."
Xi Men slowly turns around when he hears Xiao Gen's message.
Xiao Gen: "I want you to come to a place. (Xi Men looks like he's in deep thought) Tomorrow morning at 5:00, come to the rooftop of a building. You have to come. I want to show you something. The address is at Ji Long Road, 1st Section..."
Xi Men reaches for the machine and stops the message before he can hear the entire address.He looks distressed. He sighs. 
Xi Men's voice over: "It's nothing. (closes his eyes) If I don't go, then Xiao Gen and I will return to like before and nothing will change."
Xi Men is sitting in a lotus position on the edge of his bed. He's looking at the phone and machine. When he sees his cell phone, he grabs it and calls someone.
Xi Men: "Hello? May. Where are you? (pauses) I'll come over and see you, okay? (pauses) Okay...see you later. Bye bye. "(He hangs up the phone)

Dawn is once again about to break. There's a woman on a bed sleeping on her stomach. Xi Men walks to side table and slowly picks up his watch. ("Here we are" is playing in the background) Xi Men is holding his watch while taking a long bath in a tub. The watch reads 5:00. He wipes the watch with his right thumb. A bead of sweat trickles from his forehead to his nose. He places the watch beside him.

Xiao Gen is standing on the rooftop, alone, staring at the clear blue skies.

Xi Men's silver CK watch reads 7:25. He's still in the tub, eyebrows furrowed while looking outside. He looks away and looks pained.

Xi Men is walking, hands in his pockets, in their garden.

Xi Men's voice over: "It's nothing."

He stops when he sees Xiao Gen standing nearby. A smile escapes his lips and his face lightens. Xiao Gen looks at him with a forced smile. She looks tired, hurt and teary-eyed.
Xiao Gen (forcing a smile on her lips and voice): "Did you get my message?"
Xi Men (looks a bit uncomfortable and looks down): "I did. (looks at Xiao Gen again) But I already had a date with someone. Sorry about that."
Xiao Gen (looks down): "I see."
Xi Men (speaks loudly and in a joking voice): "Asking me to go there at 5:00 AM is really too early. (looks down for a while and then looks at Xiao Gen again) You weren't waiting for me there all this time..."
Xiao Gen could only smile sadly. She's still looking down. Her silence affirmed that she did indeed waited for him.
Xi Men (shuffles his feet. He looks uncomfortable and starts to walk again.):" I'm so tired. I'm going home to sleep first. (he walks past her without giving Xiao Gen a glance) Want to come in? I'll have someone make you breakfast."
Xiao Gen remains rooted to her spot, her head bowed. Xi Men stops walking when he notices that no one was walking behind him. 
Xi Men (without turning around): "Then...Bye bye...(finally turns around) Come over when you're free next time...(He 
rakes his hair off his face) Xiao Gen. What's wrong? (Xiao Gen remains unmoving) Xiao Gen...(a soft sad melody plays in the background) Xiao Gen. "
Xiao Gen's shoulders starts to shake. She raises her hand to her face for a while. Then, she lifts her head and squares her shoulders. She slowly turns around to face Xi Men and a hurt look is written all over her face. She's crying and couldn't not stop it.
Xi Men (sounds concerned): "Why are you crying? I stood you up...That's my fault. Don't cry anymore, okay? (Xiao Gen bows her head again and cries, unable to stop her emotions.) Xiao Gen. (She looks up, her shoulders trembling. He stares at her. Xiao Gen looks to the side and then faces him, wanting to speak but her tears choking her.)"
Xiao Gen (her hands moved as if saying, "I give up": "Good-bye... "(She turns around and starts to walk away. Xi Men just stares after her.)
Xi Men's voice over: "Watching Xiao Gen's retreating form, I could only stand there. It was as if my feet were rooted to the ground. I couldn't move them. Tomorrow...Xiao Gen will come regardless of this and with her sunny smile look for me. Tomorrow, we will surely return to how things were. Isn't that right, Xiao Gen? (He lets out a huge sigh and walks inside.)"

Xi Men is standing in their balcony. A maid, carrying a tray, approaches him.
Maid: "Young Master, please have some tea. (places the tea in front of him) Young Master, I haven't seen Miss Xiao Gen recently. I wonder how she is. "(Xi Men does not reply.)

Xi Men is holding a letter with his left hand and reading it while lying on his back.
Xiao Gen's voice over: "Xi Men, I'm sorry. I know you've been looking for me many times and I didn't see you. In your lifetime, there are probably many very moments. "Yi Qi Yi Hui"...But for me, my "yi qi yi hui" was at the building's rooftop on that morning when I waited for you. Xi Men, did you know at 5 o'clock that morning the sunlight was so dazzling. Farewell, Xiao Gen."
Xi Men places the letter on his chest, sighs and closes his eyes.

Xi Men's voice over (Xiao Gen is walking hand-in-hand with someone along a crowded street): "A year later, I suddenly saw Xiao Gen on the streets. (Xi Men, hands on his pockets, is standing on the opposite street) She was walking with a guy I didn't recognize. (Xiao Gen is smiling and looks genuinely happy.) Even now, I can't help but wonder if at that moment I ran over there and embraced Xiao Gen tightly, what kind of people we would be like today. (A girl approaches Xi Men and hands him a drink. Xi Men wraps his left arm around the girl's shoulders and walks away.)

*****END OF FLASHBACK****


Xi Men (still sitting on the bench in front of McDonalds with Xiao You): "For me, my real "yi qi yi hui" was at that instant. (Xiao You looks down, sad) I don't know what Xiao Gen wanted me to see that morning. But I understand that that opportunity has passed and it will never return. "

Xi Men's voice over (He's lying on his stomach and looks melancholy): "I will never know what she wanted me to see. "("Here we are" instrumental playing on the background)

Xiao You is looking up at the buildings around her. She rides an elevator. Xi Men is in a club talking to a beautiful lady. Xiao You, on the other hand, is climbing a dark stairway. She takes out a flash light and flashes it to the walls and steps. Xi Men's lady leans forward and whispers something in his 
ear while smiling.
Xiao You's voice over (she's standing alone on a rooftop): "What did Xiao Gen wanted Xi Men to see?"
Xiao You steps out of the building and thanks a worker there. She takes out her pen and crosses off something in her notebook.

Xi Men, once again, is in a club. This time he has 2 girls with him. 

Xiao You opens a door and pokes her head then turns off the light. She's walking quietly when someone turns on the light.
Auntie: "Xiao You."
Xiao You (turns around): "Auntie."
Auntie (walks towards her): "What are you up to recently? Everyday you leave late at night and come home at daylight. You insisted on returning from Canada by yourself. Your mother is worried sick, pleading me to take care of you. You're going out every night! What exactly are you doing? (sighs) Have you done something that you can't let Auntie know? Something that will cause your parents to lose face?"
Xiao You: "No! I'm just..."
Auntie (takes something out of her pocket): "Fine...then explain clearly. (She is holding a wad of papers) What is this? You've written down so many building names and you've marked them. What are you up to? Tell me."
Xiao You (grabs the paper): "Return it to me. I haven't done anything that would worry you. (starts walking to her room)"
Auntie: "Xiao You!"
Xiao You (stops by the doorway and turns around to face her Aunt): Auntie, I haven't done anything to embarrass dad or mum. Or anything that would cause you worry. Please believe me. This is currently a very important time in my life. So I beg you, please don't ask anything. Just be at my back supporting me and I'll be fine. (She bites her lower lip and walks inside the door.)"

It's morning once again. Xiao You is sitting on a bench. A green notebook is lying on her lap.
Xiao You's voice over (turns a page and takes her pen. Her voice sounds very decisive): "No. I must try harder. "
(She crosses off names of buildings.)
Xiao You enters another building. She pushes open a door and climbs the staircase. A huge swimming pool is on the center. 
Xiao You's voice over (sighs): "This is the last building. (looks around) What exactly will I see?" (She takes out her phone and looks at the time.)
Xiao You: "It's almost 5 o'clock. "(keeps looking around)
Dawn has arrived; the sun is about to shine. Xiao You looks desperate already.
Xiao You: "I don't see anything. (looks at her phone brokenly) It's hopeless. (She turns around to walk away when 
her eyes catch something. She smiles happily. She looks joyful to the point of almost being in tears.)"
Xiao You's voice over: "Xi Men, I found it. (She's still staring at the skies. She looks absolutely happy and radiant.)"

Qing He is walking down a concrete stairs. His cell phone rings.
Qing He (looks at the name on the phone and answers it): "Xiao You? Xiao You, you're back!"
Xiao You (standing near a store): "Qing He, I called so many times. I finally found you."
Qing He (still descending from the stairs): "No, I was in a class so I turned it off. Does San Cai know you're back? She's not at school; she's working."
Xiao You: "Oh, I know. I know that she's at work. Qing He, have you seen Xi Men at school?"
Qing He: "Xi Men? Nope. I haven't seen F4 in school today. Xiao You, why did you return from Canada?"
Xiao You: "Qing He, I'm sorry. We'll meet and talk another day. I have something urgent to do. If you see Xi Men, you must tell him that I'm looking for him. (2 people are descending the steps behind Qing He.) Sorry to trouble you."
Qing He: "You're looking for Xi Men? What do you want Xi Men for? (The people descending from the stairs are actually Dao Ming Si and Mei Zuo. Mei Zuo whacks Qing He on the head. The guys start walking again.) Xiao You, hang on."
Qing He (running after F2): Mei Zuo! Dao Ming Si!
Dao Ming Si: "What are you hollering for?"
Qing He: "Nothing! Have you seen Xi Men today? (brings the phone to his ear again) Xiao You is looking for him."
Dao Ming Si (Mei Zuo takes out his phone and starts dialing): "Xi Men? I haven't seen him all day."
Qing He (talks to Xiao You): "Xiao You, hang on, Mei Zuo is helping you look. Are you well? Your voice sounds a bit strange."
Xiao You (smiles and speaks in a soft voice): "I'm well, Qing He."
Mei Zuo: "Can't find him. I called his house and cell phone. No one is answering."
Qing He (to Xiao You): "Mei Zuo couldn't find him."
Mei Zuo (takes the phone from Qing He):" Hi, Xiao You. It's Mei Zuo. I think Xi Men will go to a couple of places. I'll help you look for him."
Xiao You: "Thank you."
Mei Zuo ends the call and hands the phone to Qing He.
Dao Ming Si: "Xiao You came back from Canada. It looks serious."
Qing He only shrugs.
Mei Zuo: "Let's go. Whatever the reason is, I will find Xi Men for her. "
(starts walking again)
Qing He (scratches his head in confusion): "What are you guys talking about? Why don't I ever understand? "
(scratches his head)

Mei Zuo is walking back to his red Ferrari. Dao Ming Si is sitting on the passenger seat. Mei Zuo enters the car and fastens his seatbelt.
Dao Ming Si: "Well, did you find him? (Mei Zuo shakes his head.) We'll try the next one." (Mei Zuo drives away. The tires screeches.)

Mei Zuo enters a bar. He approaches the bartender.
Mei Zuo: "Tony, right?"
Tony: "Yeah."
Mei Zuo: "Have you seen Xi Men recently?"
Tony: "No, I haven't seen him in a long time."
Mei Zuo: "Okay, thanks. "(walks out of the bar)
Tony: "Bye."

Xi Men and Hua Ze Lei are in a bar. Xi Men's face is propped on the table. He looks like he's somewhere else.

Lei:: "Xi Men"
Xi Men (still not moving): "Hmmm..."
Lei:: "I heard that Xiao You came back from Canada for you."
Xi Men (slowly raises his head only to hide his face.): "Don't say anything (moans)."
Lei::" Isn't there a slightest chance? You can pretend to an outsider, but I know that you have been adrift for a long time."
Xi Men (raises his head and props his right arm):"It's like Qing He's situation with San Cai. (looks at Lei, his head supported by his propped arm) San Cai once liked you. (Lei looks down) Then, she liked Ah Sz. But Qing He's attitude towards San Cai has not changed. But we all know that it is an impossibility, right?"
Lei:(looks at Xi Men): "You don't need to use Qing He as an example. He's got his own attractive qualities. "
Xi Men:" What I mean to say is that for me, it's the same with Xiao You. (sighs) I already have some ideas. "
Lei::" Ideas?"
Xi Men: "Like not answering her calls, trying to avoid her, and being a bit meaner to her. "(Lei takes a sip of his drink. Xi Men makes a "tsk" noise, sighs heavily and picks up his drinks.)

Xiao You is running towards Mei Zuo and Dao Ming Si.
Xiao You: "Have you found him?"
Mei Zuo: "Not yet. We've looked in all places we could think of. I think you should look for him tomorrow."
Xiao You (bows): "I'm sorry for troubling you with my concerns."
Dao Ming Si: "Okay, Xiao You. Don't you know what time it is?"
Mei Zuo: "It's almost sunrise. (looks at his watch) It's 4:30AM already. Xiao You, go home first."
Xiao You: "Mei Zuo, Dao Ming Si, thank you both. It's almost daylight. I think you should both head home first because I want to search a few more pubs."
Dao Ming Si (shares a look with Mei Zuo): "Okay, Xiao You, I'll take you 
to a few more places."
Xiao You looks surprised that Ah Sz and Mei Zuo are still willing to stick with her mission.
Mei Zuo: "Let's go."

Xi Men and Lei are still talking. The bar is almost deserted.
Xi Men: "After all, the situation will be like this. So..."
Mei Zuo (walks to the bar): "Xi Men. "

Xi Men (upon seeing Xiao You trailing behind Mei Zuo): "Eh?"
Dao Ming Si: "Xi Men, what's with you? We've been looking for you for a while, don't you know that?And your phone is not connecting."
Xiao You is looking at Xi Men. Xi Men looks at her and looks almost embarrassed, shy even. 
Xi Men: "Why are you all staring at me? Am I some rare animal?"
Xiao You: "Okay, stop chatting. (grabs Xi Men's hands and pulls him) We don't have much time. Let's go." 
Xi Men (still resisting): "Go where?"
Xiao You: "Just hurry up and go!"
Xi Men: "I'm...I'm leaving first.(shouts at Xiao You) Hey! Where are we going?"
Dao Ming Si: "Hey, what's with Xiao You? Why was she looking for him so urgently?"
Mei Zuo: "Don't know."
Dao Ming Si: "Don't know! Why were you looking so intently then?"
Lei is sitting quietly, a knowing smile playing on his lips.
Mei Zuo: B"ecause I think it must be something important. (turns to Lei) Hey, what were you guys discussing?"
Lei:(looks at Mei Zuo): "Nothing.(takes the bottle beside him) Have something to drink."

Xiao you is dragging a very uncooperative Xi Men.
Xi Men (moaning): "Xiao You, where are you taking me?"
Xiao You: "Just come with me because I can't explain it."
Xi Men: "But I'm so tired. Let's go tomorrow, okay? (pulls his arm off Xiao You's grip roughly) I've been up all night."
Xiao You: "Xi Men, we must go now. It might not be on top of the building tomorrow. It's like that "very moment" you once mentioned."
Xi Men: "Yi qi hi hui."
Xiao You: "Right, that phrase. It's the building in front. Believe me, it's very important because I've found what Xiao Gen wanted you to see."
Xi Men could only stand there in silence.
Xiao You pushes the door to the rooftop roughly. She was climbing the stairs hurriedly.
Xiao You:" Hurry or it will be too late."
Xi Men is ascending the stairs slowly, hesitantly. He looks scared and unsure.
Xiao You (screams and runs): "Hurry up! It's almost too late. Walk faster."
Xi Men is now running behind Xiao You. Xiao You stops at the right spot. Xi Men is panting, his hands on his knees.
Xiao You (points across the building): "Look over there. (panting) The dark building across there. When the sun rises and reflects, you will see some words. It won't last more than three minutes. (Xi Men is breathing heavily.) This is what Xiao Gen wanted to say to you."
("Here we are" starts playing in the background again.)
Xiao You looks back at Xi Men. They stand there, waiting for the words to appear. Xi Men looks like he's on the verge of tears as the words begin to shine.
The words are: "XI MEN...MY MOST BELOVED."
Xiao You looks like she's going to cry. Xi Men is staring at it intently and then starts to smile. 
Xi Men: "Is she an idiot? Asking me to rush over this early just to see this. I'm Xi Men (his voice breaks as he struggles not to cry. He shuts his eyes, his lips trembling a little.) Idiot."
The words continue to shine brightly. Xiao You looks at Xi Men and sees him crying, his hands in his pockets. She walks back to where he is, stand beside him and looks up at him. Xi Men looks at her, smiles and wraps his right arm around her, pulling her to his side.
