Li Qi works for a dolphin show, his friend Ren Yu works karaoke on the beach along the coast where they live. When a young woman Bai Ling joins the two men, a three-way relationship seems ...

Is there anyone left?

It is the last boat now!

There's someone, wait a moment!

Hurry up, hurry up!

$5 Yuan.

Can't you catch a chicken?

No food for you,
if you don't get it!

Wait! Wait! Wait!

Stop! There is no escape for you.

Stay where you are!

Stop running! Stop! Go no further!



Where else you could go!

Can you do it or not, fat boy.

Silly boy.

You can take a photo
with me for $5 yuan.

If you want to sing

It's $10 Yuan per song.

Alright. Thanks.

How's it going today?

Very well!

Are you messing with me?

Ah, my white pants, white pants.

Always bully Xiaoqi!

He's bullying me!

Aunt Huang!



Hey, don't move. Look at your face.

Aunt Huang,
why don't I get this treatment?

You have a smooth and lovely face.

City police.

You guys go ahead.

Hey! Stop!

Illegal vending and
acting so righteously.

If we allow you to vendor everywhere

aren't the city's order and
environment all messed up?

Smoking is not allowed here!

What about them?

Illegal vending costs
$1000 Yuan as fine.

Confiscating illegal work tools!

Hey. Come here.

We can't just take
our own belongings.

Hi.

Hello.

Aren't you going into the sea?

How's the wave?

Not bad. It's a little weak.

Shit!

Let's go now. I've run out of energy.

Let's go.

Bye bye, we're off.

Oh¡­Oh¡­!

Wasted efforts for
every wave to explode.

Now, or unforeseeable future.

The endless sky
above me like my love

blossoming under the blue mountain.

What kind of rhythm
is the most swinging?

What kind of singing
is the most cheerful?

The new boat is coming!

The new boat is coming!

The new boat is coming!

The new boat is coming!

The new boat is coming!

The new boat is coming!

The new boat is coming!

Hi Aunt Huang.

Auntie, how's your foot?

Oh, it's much better.

Hey, this is my daughter, Bai Ling.

You really look
like Leslie Chang.

Aren't you in school?

It's summer holiday

Beautiful singing.

Ah, great, let's have another glass.

Wipe your mouth.

Go. Stand up. Go.

How come you are here?

Am I not welcome?

Brother Xiaoyu brought me here.
He went to buy some food.

What happened to it?

His eyes have a bit infection.

Also his sight is getting worse.

Short sighted

Yes, it is slow,
and can't see my action clearly.

Because he is short sighted

I'm thinking to find
him a pair of glasses.

Sea lion also wears glasses.

We will go training now.

Okay, go ahead.

Bye!

Bye!

Come...

Come...

Congratulations!

This is Ren Yu.

They are my friends.

Go and find him.

Please have a taste.

Congratulations!

You're welcome.

Want more?
There is plenty of it here.

It is the betel nut here.
Please try some.

The first time having betel nuts.

You blush, get dizzy
and your heart beats faster.

Isn't that love?

Yes.

I want to eat it all.

What's wrong with you?

Silly boy.

Listen! I will get you out if
you keep messing with me.

Do you know the hut?

A house like this.

Just called Liao Fang (the Hut).

Girls from Hlai have
to live in a Liao Fang

after they turn to 16

And dating with
the boys they like

sing love songs

and make love.

I am about to

Go to sleep.

You really like Bai Ling?

Yes. I wish she
doesn't have to leave.

No need to be sad.

At such a young age, only sixteen

true love will come
when the old one is gone.

I want one too. Haha. Score two.

Two. One more than mine. Not bad.

I saw lights on that boat at night.

Shall we have a drink?

He lives here.

Something happened to him.

We're here to investigate.

Something happened to Xiaoyu.

Here, is there anyone you know?

Can you rewind it for me?

Stop!

Maybe I've seen
him at the seafood place.

Don't know him.

Wait for us to take some notes.

This person is in coma.

We are trying our
best with the search.
