I checked it again.
Everything is fine.
Mr. Zhang,
isn't this a little too formal?
This is a basic protection
for our marriage.
Although we are only getting married as a formality,
I still hope it will
cause no trouble
for either of us.
Based on that,
I made this agreement regarding our contractual relationship.
"Chapter one, Article one."
"According to the relevant laws and regulations
of the People's Republic of China,"
"Party A and Party B have reached
the following agreement
about their time-limited marriage"
"on the principle of fairness and voluntariness
after friendly negotiation for both parties to abide by."
Mr. Zhang, why don't we get to the point?
Okay.
Here's the point.
After the one-year time specified in the agreement is due,
Party A will give the 502 Apartment, Section A,
Building 2, Xuefu Yayuan,
3688, Nanwan Avenue,
to Party B for free.
This is fine with you, right?
If it is, we shall continue.
Just a second, Mr. Zhang.
- Are you really giving me the apartment?
- Of course.
No. The apartment is yours.
I can't take it.
First, I will only stay here for a year.
I will be leaving when the time is due.
This apartment has
no practical value to me.
Second,
I don't want you to be helping for free.
Anything without a cost will end up
costing you more.
I would feel safer
with this apartment as payment.
Mr. Zhang, I'm willing to help you
because I want to help your Grandpa
to fulfill his wish.
I can't accept your apartment.
You must.
If you don't accept this apartment,
our agreement would not be the same.
I understand.
If you
feel bad about this,
you could pay me
the amount of the down payment
that you were swindled with
as a kind of compensation.
I will.
All right. Let's check the next one.
Before the expiration date of this agreement,
both parties cannot show
excessive physical intimacy
for any reason, in any form.
All right, next one.
Wait. This one is the key point.
Excessive physical intimacy.
I need to discuss that with you.
Discuss?
Is that necessary? I know about that.
Yun Shu, this is a contract.
Each article
has to be specific and clear
so our interests
will not be damaged, you know?
Understood.
So I need to discuss with you
the specific meaning of
excessive physical intimacy
and what types of behaviors are in that category.
Including holding hands, hugging, and...
And what?
Kissing.
All right. I've noted that down in the contract.
Uh, Mr. Zhang.
I'll just sign it. I'm Party B, right?
Mr. Zhang.
I have a question.
Tell me.
We don't need to
hold a wedding, right?
Of course not.
A ceremony
that's purely extravagant and time-wasting
has no reason to exist at all in my opinion.
What?
No wedding?
How is that okay?
Who would get married without a wedding?
Some people do.
The customs of weddings
were transformed
in the sixth chapter of "Rites of the Zhou."
Since feudal social forms vanished,
this kind of ceremony
which is a complete waste of time and money
has no reason to exist.
Professor Zhang,
please don't mix the bad things and the essence of history together.
Marriage.
That word once sounded
so distant.
I never thought
that I would get married
at the age of twenty-one.
Even though this marriage is not real,
But
I do feel a huge pressure.
Yun Shu.
Did you
make the right decision?
Professor Zhang,
if you want to prove your point by exhaustive methods,
then you are going down.
You could check the statistics.
Up to 2019,
people who agree
that a wedding is necessary for marriage takes up
82.33%.
Grandpa.
I respect
their will to have a wedding.
But that doesn't mean
I have to have a wedding.
There's no point for us to fight.
Let's hear
what Yun Shu has in mind.
Okay.
Yun Shu.
Be fair here.
Which one of us is right?
Actually,
I agree with Sinian on this problem.
To be honest,
I used to think like you when I was young.
I thought the wedding is just a drama.
That's why your grandma and I didn't have one.
But it just didn't feel right later.
We never felt like we were married.
Even our colleagues thought
we were not like a married couple.
When we realized
That
we should have a wedding,
we were already old.
Yun Shu. Sinian. You should decide
whether to have a wedding or not.
I don't want to push you,
but I have one last question.
If you won't even have a wedding,
how are you going to prove to others
and yourselves
that you are married?
We'll do what you said.
Mr. Zhang,
I thought we agreed that we were not having a wedding.
Why did you change your mind?
I just reassessed the situation.
If we don't do the wedding,
the price will be higher for us.
What do you mean by that?
If we keep refusing to have a wedding,
Grandpa will doubt
the authenticity of our relationship.
The purpose of the contract
is to make him believe us.
That's why the wedding is the best option so far.
- But...
- How about this?
Let's divide our work.
You go choose a wedding company
and make a plan for the wedding.
I'll go figure out the guest list.
We will just invite
the closest people.
Let's try to keep the scale down.
Wait, Mr. Zhang.
- I...
- Oh, right.
I will take care of
all the expenses for the wedding.
Including the wedding dress and rings.
Oh, what size do you wear?
And what are your measurements?
I, um...
Go measure them.
Give me the exact numbers.
Besides, there should be a best man and a bridesmaid at the wedding.
I have a choice for the best man.
Will your sister be your bridesmaid?
- But...
- If everything goes as expected,
we would be able to have the wedding next weekend.
Are we rushing this?
I haven't figured out how to tell my sister
that we are getting married.
Since we are already in this situation,
let's figure something out together.
Getting married? Have you thought this through?
How long have you been together?
Aren't you rushing it a little?
- Well, Zhang Sinian...
Sister, I thought you liked him.
He's quite good
in terms of character,
educational background,
and looks.
So it's not a bad deal for me
to marry him.
- And you...
- Me and him...
Sister, didn't you always say
that I need to make my own decisions
and stop being timid
and hesitating?
So, you and him...
Although we didn't know each other for long,
our relationship is serious.
It's better for us to get married sooner.
Have you thought it through?
I have.
Sister. I know you care about me...
I'm not saying things because I care about you.
Since you are a grown-up now,
I have no right to change your decision, and I don't want to.
But since you have thought it through,
then go get married.
You seldom make decisions by yourself.
I...
What else?
Well, the bridesmaid...
has to be me.
Oh, Sister.
Thank you.
I found the one
I was looking for among countless people.
Across thousands of years
and a boundless field of time,
we were not too early or too late.
Mr. Zhang, you are back.
I've checked with the best man.
How are things going with you?
I was about to discuss it with you.
We have Heavenly Fate,
Fate from Heaven, and Fate by Heaven.
How should we choose from all those wedding companies?
There are too many of them.
Just pick one.
I know. I've violated the rules.
July, 24, 2019,
2:31 p.m.,
Party A violated the contract
and showed excessive physical intimacy
to Party B.
Thus,
Party A shall compensate Party B 100 yuan.
Mr. Zhang, what are you doing?
I'm adding that to the contract.
Whenever there's a breach of contract again,
this is what we'll do.
And this is for the last breach.
I'm giving it to you now.
Do you have to be so serious?
We need to be serious
about all the details in the contract.
Well, Mr. Zhang, the wedding company...
You can decide on that.
Hello. Are you Ms. Yun?
Yes
You want to ask about wedding planning, right?
- Yes.
- Let's talk over there.
Okay.
Ms. Yun,
what is your ideal wedding?
The ideal wedding...
To be honest, I have never thought of that.
It's okay.
We have a lot of plans that you can choose from.
Like weddings in a church by the sea,
Chinese traditional weddings, Japanese-style weddings,
and weddings with martial arts or fairy tales as the theme.
Which one would you prefer?
Okay.
Dad. What's that white house?
That's a church.
When you grow up,
you would be able to get married there.
Great. I want to get married there.
You have excellent taste.
This is
the most romantic and fanciest seaside wedding plan.
Do you like it?
Okay.
Just a second.
I need to make a phone call.
All right.
Hello. Speak, please.
Mr. Zhang, I'm at the wedding planning company.
They have so many plans.
There's a seaside church wedding choice,
Chinese traditional weddings,
and Japanese-style weddings.
You can decide.
But I think maybe you should decide.
You are paying for the wedding after all.
Don't worry about the expense. Just make a choice.
- But
I...
- I'm hanging up now.
So? Have you decided?
Shall we decide on the seaside wedding?
Maybe not the seaside wedding.
I want something simple.
All right. Take your time.
- Yun Shu.
- Mr. Zhang.
I've revised our previous agreement.
Take it.
Okay.
Oh, right.
This is the wedding process from the wedding planning company.
The rehearsal is tomorrow. Would you like to take a look?
It's okay. I've memorized it all.
I just noticed the best man about the time.
Remember to call your sister, too.
All right. I'll call her soon.
Okay.
What is it?
Hello, Sister. I need to talk to you about something.
I'm busy right now. Let's talk later.
Ian, just a second. It's simple.
I have a wedding rehearsal with Zhang Sinian
tomorrow at 2 p.m.
You are the bridesmaid. Could you come?
Look this
I have meetings all day long tomorrow. I can't come.
Sister, please.
This is important.
Besides, we have to know the process
so the wedding can be perfect.
"Perfect"?
You always settle for the second best.
Why are you asking for perfection now?
Sister. This is my wedding after all.
It doesn't matter how often I settle,
my wedding needs to be perfect.
- This one, it is.
- All right.
Okay. I'll be there tomorrow.
Great. See you, Ian. I love you.
Get me the best packaging.
Okay.
Why didn't you have the milk today?
I forgot to buy new ones yesterday.
So we only have one glass today.
It's okay, Mr. Zhang. You should drink it.
Breakfast is a source of protein.
It's important to the human body.
Drink it.
Thank you, Mr. Zhang.
Mr. Zhang, sorry.
I didn't mean to do that.
- Let me get the tissue.
- It's okay. Let me do it.
Well, Mr. Zhang.
You got my hand.
I know.
Sorry.
I violated the agreement.
It's okay.
You didn't mean to do that.
I don't mind.
Another thing.
I'd like to discuss something with you.
Let's take
at least two hours each day
for a year
and I will tutor you.
In that case, we could make sure
that you pass the oral defense at one time.
Two hours?
Is it not enough?
I can add one more hour.
It's okay, Mr. Zhang.
You don't have to waste your time like that.
Don't worry.
With me tutoring you,
no time will be wasted.
What are you staring at?
I should go to work now.
See you at the rehearsal this afternoon.
Hello, Sister.
Yun Shu, I'm here.
Where are you?
What are you talking about?
What do you mean by that?
You asked me to get here at 2:00
to rehearse with you.
I'm here.
Where are you?
It's already 2:00 p.m.
I thought it was only 1:00.
Stop stalling and get over here.
All right. I'm on my way.
Just a minute.
The wedding company asked me to remind you
to bring the flow chart.
All right. I'll be there soon, Sister.
See you.
She should be here soon.
Yun Shu!
Mr. Zhang.
Sister.
Sorry. Am I late?
Right on time. Five minutes and forty seconds.
You would need some time to get used to each other.
Are they all here?
The best man is not here yet. You guys go inside.
I'll be waiting for him here.
I'm glad that I'm not the latest one.
Let's go.
Sinian.
Happy wedding day.
What are you wearing?
Where are the clothes I gave you?
The clothes you gave me are so boring.
This is the original suit
I used in the "Royal Wedding:
Princess's Transformation."
It can get more than a million in an auction.
Are you here holding a concert?
Who would wear this to hold a concert?
Don't worry.
I will definitely do my job
today.
This is absolutely about you.
The environment is good.
Sinian, where is the bride?
Ian,
it's Lu Yu. Living and walking.
- Who's Lu Yu?
- Don't you know Lu Yu?
A popular actor in the TV industry.
He's so handsome.
Is he the best man?
I'm so happy to see him in person.
Yun Shu.
I need to powder my nose.
All right. Don't take too long.
Okay.
Let's go.
Let me introduce you two.
This is Yun Shu,
the girl who's marrying me.
This is Lu Yu,
my friend for my whole life and the best man.
- Hello, Mrs. Ji.
- Mr. Lang. Hello.
No, no, no!
Mr. Lu. Hello.
She's good.
You saw the true me right away.
I'm a lone wolf.
You are so much more interesting
than when you were on TV.
You have no idea.
You are the dream boy
of our dormitory manager.
- "Dormitory manager"?
- "Dream boy"?
That's not what I mean.
I'm saying that...
It's okay. Stop talking if you don't know how.
- Where's your sister?
- She's powdering her nose in the makeup room.
It's starting now. Why don't you...
I'll go get her right now.
Nian. You have good taste.
She's the neighborhood girl type.
More interested than she looked in the picture.
She has a sister.
A sister?
How could he be the best man?
This is awkward.
What should I say to him?
Calm down.
There's a solution to everything.
Sister.
What happened to you?
I'm fine.
No. Something just came up. It's urgent.
I have to go now.
You can't.
The rehearsal hasn't started yet.
Give me the flowchart.
I'll check it myself.
Hurry!
Why are you in such a hurry?
Check it carefully.
Oh, right. I got you a wedding gift.
- Come to my place in a few days.
- Okay.
This is the first time I've seen my sister so panic.
What happened?
When will the rehearsal start?
I've been waiting forever.
We are not waiting any longer. Let's start now.
Wait.
How can you start without the bride here?
- You can do it.
You could play two roles, right?
- I'm going to do it?
Yes.
The couple here is late.
Keep the other couple calm.
I don't know when.
- Let's get started.
- Okay.
Where's the bride?
That would be me.
This is...
Why do I find you look so familiar?
I...
I did get married a lot.
All right. Let's get started.
I can't wait.
- Come on!
- Um...
We touched each other seven times.
That's seven hundred.
Mr. Zhang, do we have to do that?
It's quite clear in the contract.
I can't take your money anymore.
If you breach the contract,
I will ask you for money, too.
We are living in one apartment.
As clumsy as I am,
I would be punished all the time.
An agreement is meant to control the two parties.
You can't let your mindset
get in the way of the major plan.
I understand all that.
But
once you drafted that agreement,
all I thought about is
How to not touch you
how to not touch you.
For a simple-minded creature like me,
I don't have the high-power CPU
that you've got in your head.
What if
I blow our act in front of your grandpa?
Your point
actually makes sense.
If we have to keep our distance all the time,
we would probably be exposed in front of Grandpa.
That will not be in the favor of our plan.
Yeah!
How about we...
How about this?
I'll revise the contract again.
Take off the limit
on normal physical contact
in daily life.
I would feel so much easier that way.
In that case,
why don't we do the whole show
in front of Grandpa?
Let's keep the kissing part.
Mr. Zhang, that's overkill.
I've come up with a solution.
We are not going to kiss for real.
Hello, Mr. Liu.
I've changed the contract.
The Article 8, Item 10...
Just a second.
Mr.Liu.
I'll call you back.
At the wedding,
the viewers will be sitting under the stage,
and we will be on the stage.
The axis is parallel to the audience.
We just need to show people one side.
So as long as we can find
the right posture and angle
and get close to each other, based on the parallax principle,
we would be able to make Grandpa and the audience
think we are kissing
without touching each other.
It's like the hand shadow play.
Do you understand?
Not quite.
Why don't you walk me through it?
It's okay.
Let's finish the rehearsal first
and then I'll tell you.
Let's go.
This is the entrance.
When the wedding music starts,
we will walk down the aisle.
We need to stand two meters from the wedding arch.
And
then we will take each other's hand.
Left foot first.
And then walk to the stage.
Remember,
don't walk too fast
but not too slow.
Keep the time at thirty seconds.
All right, stop.
Next, the new couple will step onto the stage.
There's a step ahead.
Left foot first.
Ready?
One.
Two.
You will turn right, and I will turn left.
We will be facing each other.
Slow down.
Next,
we will be holding each other's hands.
And then...
And then someone will ask,
Zhang Sinian,
do you take Yun Shu to be your wife
to have and to hold from this day forward,
for better, for worse,
- In
sickness and in health,
- in sickness and in health,
- to...
- to love
and to cherish
till death do you part?
I will say
yes.
Yun Shu,
do you take Zhang Sinian
to be your husband
for poorer,
for richer,
in sickness
and in health,
keep caring about him
and loving him?
Yes.
And now it's time to exchange rings.
Give me your right hand.
Your turn.
Good.
The last part
is the kissing part.
I made some calculations.
Grandpa will be sitting over there.
If we stand here
and approach each other at thirty degrees
and stop when we are five centimeters away from each other,
it would look like we are kissing
for the audience down there.
Are you ready?
Yes.
I would probably need to put my hands
on your waist.
Is that okay?
You can put your hands on my shoulders.
Be careful of the angle. Thirty degrees.
Approach slowly.
Five centimeters.
It's okay. Get it.
Hello, Sister.
Okay.
What is it?
My sister is asking me to go see her.
Sorry, Mr. Zhang.
Sister.
Sister,
why did you need to see me at this hour?
What is it?
What's this?
Article 3, Item 1.
After the one-year specified in the agreement is due,
Party A will give
the 502 Apartment, Section A,
Building 2,Xuefu Yayuan,
3688, Nanwan Avenue,
to Party B for free.
What is that supposed to mean?
Didn't you buy this apartment?
Why is it saying that he's giving it to you for free?
I did pay for it.
I tried to buy it from our cousin.
Our cousin?
You mean Huo Qi?
So he took all your money.
Zhang Sinian owns the apartment, right?
Don't you know
what kind of person is Huo Qi?
Why did Uncle keep beating him up?
And what did you do?
You gave him
all the money Dad left us.
Sister,
I never thought that he would swindle us.
I shouldn't have
asked you to handle the money.
Did you report this to the police?
- No.
- Why didn't you?
Wait.
Sister!
Don't!
Sister!
Sister, listen to me.
We can't take this to the police.
Why?
Are you going to let him run away?
Sister,
please let me explain.
Ever since our parents passed away,
our uncle
has been taking care of us.
Think about
Uncle and Auntie.
Can we just
send Huo Qi to prison?
But, Sister,
don't worry.
I will find Huo Qi
to make this right.
You've made so many mistakes.
Tell me. How will you make this right?
The choice you made about the apartment was bad enough,
and now
you've signed a ridiculous prenup.
Do you know
that Article 3, Chapter 1 in the Marriage Law
clearly banned trading in marriage?
In a year,
if he won't agree that your relationship should cease,
there's nothing you can do.
Sister.
I don't think that's what's going on.
Mr. Zhang won't lie to me.
He won't lie to you. So am I lying to you?
I'm your sister!
And who is he?
He used this apartment as bait
and tricked you into signing this agreement to sell yourself.
But I think Mr. Zhang
wouldn't do anything like that.
Besides, he's a nice person.
Didn't you agree with that?
That was before.
I thought you were in a relationship.
Anyway,
don't worry about the apartment.
I'll handle it.
And don't even think about getting married.
Go talk things out with Zhang Sinian
and cancel the wedding.
Did you hear me?
Mr. Zhang.
I'm thinking that since we are going to see your grandpa,
should I put on something more formal?
It's okay.
Let's go.
Wait.
This time,
I didn't violate any rules. re formal?
