Why are you here?
For how long?
The same time you got here!
Ching-Mao!
Ching-Mao!
Ching-Mao!
Auntie Wu!
- Auntie
- Mei-Jung
Are you here for Ching-Mao?
Is he here?
I haven't seen him
Either at the library or dorm
- No lecture today?
- The class just ended
Come visit our home with Ching-Mao during the holiday
- Chi-ming's came back from school
- Chi-ming's back?
I'll be there if he's going
This place is off limits for girls
I'm not going in. Bye!
Good Bye
Ching-Mao
Auntie
Don't shut yourself in while others are having fun
I didnt know if you'd any warm clothes in this chilly weather
Have some water
A sweater
It was Chi-Ming's but you two are the same height
Auntie
Give it to Chi-Ming. I'm fine.
Chi-Ming has another one
Auntie
I don't need pocket money right now
Keep it
I didn't want you to know this
It's not mine
It's from your mother
She's here again?
In my home
Please return the money to her
I'll never take her money
You're young
Once you're at my age
You'll then understand
No-one is perfect
People makes mistakes
You refuse to see her
And take her money
She is really hurt by all this
Hurt? Her?
She never care about hurting others
Oh, child!
Auntie
Would you mind doing me a favor?
Next Thursday will be my father's 10th death anniversary
But I have a test that day
- Can you light an incense stick for him?
- I would have done so regardless
You remember everything
Your father would have been so proud
To have a son like you
- No need to send me off
- Thank you
I'll come visit you some other time
- Don't trouble yourself like this
- I know
What a coincidence!
Where are you going?
Nowhere
I saw Auntie and you walking out of the dorm
So I followed you
Let's go to Cafe Astoria
My treat
I'm not going
Then you're buying, how's that?
- I'm really not bluffing
- Wow, really?
There's Chi-Ming
Can I get you something to drink?
- - Okay
- And you?
- Juice
Okay
Rarely do I get to meet our top student here
Not interrupting anything, am I?
Nonsense
A new female professor is teaching essay analysis in the Foreign Language department
Have you chosen this course?
No
Why not?
She lectures solely in English and listening to more English will make your life oversea easier
Who says I'm going oversea?
Then why work so hard?
We don't study just for going oversea
Ching-Mao
My mother just went to your school
Have you met her?
I just sent her off
I saw your mother crying in my home when I came back yesterday
Go and see her
Chi-Ming, how's the workload at your college?
- How do you find the time?
- I come back for you
But you're ignoring me
I'm too busy for this
Ching-Mao, how can you just left me here?
You know the way home
Thinks he's so great with all the top grades
Think all he wants!
I'm not going out with him even if he were the last living boy in the campus!
Is this seats taken?
- No
- Thank you
Ma, let's not sit here
Come, sit
Come, sit by the window
- Where to?
- Taipei
We're going to the same place then
- I couldn't believe it at first
- Why would I lie to you?
You look so young for a mother of a boy
I married young, turning 30 this year
Must have taken good care of your body. You look 26 or 27
Such a jokester!
What do you do for a living: a merchant or something else?
- Have a small business
- Oh
Ma, why haven't we reached Taipei?
Already you're getting impatient. Told you not to come
Mandarine, sir?
- How much is it?
- 5 bucks for 3
Should be enough
- Have one
