[The Day of Becoming You]

[Episode 26]

What? I just took a toilet break

and you're not watching anymore?

I don't feel like watching anymore.

Upset?

No.

Why would I be upset?

You sound upset.

The person mentioned by Jiang Yi

who wanted him to make a decision

is you, huh?

Now, he's finally

successfully living a normal life.

He can now date

without hiding.

Well, it seems like

Yu Sheng Sheng toiled hard

and he ripped the benefits of it.

Even I feel that it's so unfair for you.

It isn't his fault.

We didn't have a choice.

Why are you still siding him?

It's just facts.

You know it.

What if

the switch can be solved,

would there be a chance of
getting back together?

You're daydreaming.

I'm going to shower.

Oh, right.

Pei Jia Shu

invited us for a meal tomorrow.

Is he serious about investing?

Yeah.

I told him

our business idea.

He's been thinking about it.

Anyway, we'll talk about it first.

Prince charming-turned-boss.

That would work.

Put on makeup

and dress up tomorrow.

No problem.

Old schoolmate,

I'm not joking

about investing in the both of you.

I do that because I believe you'd do well.

Although it's still new media,

we won't be

involved in entertainment.

Yup, you've told me.

It goes well with me.

And, I think,

writing contents for practical life

is more meaningful.

Sheng Sheng,

anything to add?

No.

Hey, don't treat him as a celebrity.

It's impossible.

Boston lobsters.

All dishes are served.

Please enjoy your meal.

Thank you.

It's just the three of us,

and there's so much food!

Don't worry.

There will be others.

Others?

Yeah.

Hi.

Sis Sheng Sheng, long time no see.

You're becoming prettier by the day.

Le Yi,

I've been watching you quite a lot.

You're now the regular guest

on many variety shows.

Don't talk about this.

My schedule's so packed,

I don't even have time
for video games now.

When will he be arriving?

Soon.

There's someone else?

I'm not late, am I?

Right on time.

Brother Da Chuan.

Brother Yi.

Yi.

Long time no see.

Long time no see.

This is my former bandmate,

Cheng Le Yi.

My old schoolmate, Tong Hua.

Hi, Le Yi.

I'm Tong Hua.

Hello.

Brother Jia Shu has
been talking about you.

Now we finally meet.

I've been admiring you.

I finally meet you in person.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Come, eat. Come, eat.

Eat while we talk.

I heard from Jia Shu,

he's interested in investing
in your business start-up.

Have I told you?

Yeah.

Yeah,

we plan to open a studio.

Is there anything I can help with?

Nothing.

It's manageable.

Don't stand on ceremony with me.

That's mutton.

You can't eat that.

You remembered it so clearly.

Let me reward you with it.

Look at Brother Yi and Sis Sheng Sheng.

They broke up and remained friends

and are still getting along so well.

This is just awesome.

Yi,

I watched that TV show of yours.

Do you really plan to find a girlfriend?

Yes.

Have you found someone you like?

Yeah.

But, I haven't confessed.

A "Yes" isn't guaranteed.

Oh.

I think it won't be a problem.

It's hard to say.

Introduce her to us next time.

I need to be well-prepared.

Yeah,

don't do it like how you
introduced Sis Sheng Sheng.

What a mess!

Don't worry.

I'd introduce her to you this time.

Sheng Sheng,

I'm going to see an old friend

with Pei Jia Shu later.

Why don't you head home on your own?

Okay.

Let me give you a lift.

I'm fine.

I'll hail a cab.

Don't stand on ceremony.

What?

Need me to put on the safety belt for you?

No. I'll do it myself.

Why did you come knowing
I was going to be there?

I wanted to see you.

Didn't we make a pact...

Don't you want to see me?

I just feel that it isn't ideal.

That means, you do want to see me.

But, you're just worried.

Stop fumbling around for a point.

Moreover, you're a guy who's

setting out afresh
to look for a girlfriend.

So, you should be careful with your words.

And, you shouldn't send
your ex-girlfriend home.

Your new girlfriend wouldn't be happy

if she finds out about it.

Yeah, you're right.

That's how Yu Sheng Sheng operates, huh?

Always putting others before herself.

Not inviting me in?

No.

It's best for us not to meet anymore.

What are you doing?

Sheng Sheng,

we'd not switch bodies again.

What do you mean?

I told my mom about

what happened to us.

Through reading and researching,

she consulted

some of her friends.

They found the

third party magnetic field
that's affecting us.

It's an asteroid

named B56743.

This asteroid

has moved far enough from earth

that it won't affect us anymore.

What? The cause to our switch

is that bizarre?

That depends on the scriptwriter.

We should still be careful.

I'm sorry that it caused you to
constantly be alarmed.

But, I've made sure

many times.

Or else, I wouldn't

be there with you today.

You came just to see me?

Yes.

I still like you.

So, I'd like to ask

if you're willing to be my girlfriend?

No!

No?

My thoughts are everywhere.

I need to think it through.

Bye.

You're at home?

Why didn't you turn on the lights?

Where would I be besides home?

On a date with Jiang Yi?

So, you knew?

Tong Tong, you liar!

And, Jiang Da Chuan and Cheng Le Yi.

Both of them are big fat liars too!

Why didn't you include Pei Jia Shu too?

Jia Shu is a little liar.

All of you are bad guys!

You guys were in cahoots
to make a joke out of me.

You got it wrong.

We really wish for

you and Jiang Yi

to get back together.

How did Jiang Yi tell you guys?

He hoped that we could be of help

to pave the way,

then, to test out your thoughts

with him being there.

You rejected him?

Yeah.

Why?

He's the one you like, no?

Moreover, the

obstacle between the both of you

has been removed.

I promised to help Jiang Yi

knowing that you've

never forgotten him.

I don't know.

I just don't feel at ease.

Let me be honest.

In fact,

Jiang Yi and I

have been keeping in touch.

He's concerned about you.

But, he couldn't come see you.

He's hoping that you could forget him

and start anew.

In the past half a year,

his mom helped in

identifying that asteroid.

However, they weren't sure of

how long it'd take for
the asteroid to leave.

So, he's been holding it in

to not come to see you.

He's afraid that it would just
be a flash in the pan.

But, this time,

he's fully assured of

everything,

and hence, chosen to come see you.

Yeah,

he's indeed done a lot.

Let me think about it some more.

Think about it long and hard.

I'm going to pen my resignation letter.

I'm going back home tomorrow.

Okay.

Dad, Mom, I'm home.

Oh,

you're back!

Yeah.

Cooking so early?

Yeah.

Why are you here?

I was craving for

Uncle Yu's cooking.

Just ask Fatty to

come pack some food for you.

Is that the way to talk to your guest?

I'm learning to cook

from Uncle Yu.

Whatever.

Dad, where's Mom?

In the bedroom, I think.

Sweetie.

Hi!

Tong Tong, you're here too?

Follow me.

Tell me, what's going on?

While you were dating
Jiang Yi last year,

he asked me for help

to explain to your parents

why was it inconvenient to

tell others about it.

But now, it's different.

And, I'm one to

finish what I've started.

So, I've come again

to explain to your parents

that if the both of you
get back together,

what's convenient

and why it doesn't need to stay secret.

What did my parents say?

"Totally understood."

You planned to come back today

and tell them yourself, right?

Am I not thoughtful?

You...

You really wish for us
to get back together?

Of course.

I'm the number one fan

of your ship.

However, fans' opinions

are just for reference.

The decision

totally lies

in your heart.

Yeah.

Here.

Yesterday, Po Qing told me

he was dating a new girl.

I looked at her photo.

She's quite pretty.

For real?

He'll be bringing

her over next weekend.

You can see it for yourself.

Sure.

Let me see if

she's really like an angel.

Jiang Yi, since now it's convenient,

visit more often

when you're free.

Sure, Uncle.

I won't stand on ceremony.

I'll come regularly.

You should come drink with me.

I won't drive next time.

Don't bring so many things

the next round.

Okay.

Sure, Aunty.

Dad, Mom,

you guys...

What's wrong with us?

He's my ex-boyfriend.

Have you forgotten?

And?

It's awkward for me.

Really?

But, that's never the case

with Po Qing.

How is that the same?

Senior Shen and I only

tried dating for a short time.

It wasn't love.

We weren't really into each other.

Whatever.

I don't care anymore!

There, there.

Eat up, eat up.

If having me over

is making it awkward for you,

then, I'd better not come again.

I don't mean that.

Just joking.

I'll come often.

You're getting cheeky.

Have you thought about

becoming my girlfriend?

Do you have to know now?

Although I just asked you yesterday,

my heart

has waited for a whole year.

Since you've been waiting for a year,

what is a day to you?

I'll be resigning tomorrow.

So, I'm getting off work early.

Let's go hiking.

Hiking?

Yeah.

I'll come get you then.

No need.

Let's meet in the hills.

Okay.

So, you've decided?

All the best.

Look, look.

That's Jiang Yi, right? Right?

Hurry.

Hello, are you Jiang Yi?

My girlfriend is your fan.

Can you take a photo with her?

Sure.

One, two, three.

Done. Thank you.

Can I shake hands with you?

Sure.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Let's go.

Let me see.

I found you again.

You've changed so much.

After not needing to wear masks,

you look more relaxed

and more confident.

Well, I'm a celebrity.

Sometimes, people would
want to do a double take.

I just let them.

As long as you don't

see yourself as a circus monkey.

Wow, you've become more daring,

you took the initiative to hold my hand.

It's because I've resigned.

What does this have to with resigning?

It's some sort of a ceremony.

Bidding goodbye to my past self

and starting anew.

In the past, besides worrying
that being photographed

would affect your career,

I was a coward myself too.

You're not worried now,

neither am I.

Hold on.

Hello.

Yeah, I booked the room.

We're almost there.

Bye.

What?

It's not what you think it is.

What?

I said nothing.

Hurry up.

They're calling to rush you.

It's really not what you think it is.

What are you referring to?

You've got to be clear.

What were you thinking?

I just laughed

because you laughed. Is that a crime?

Here's your card.

Thank you.

This is...

He'll be here just for a moment.

Okay.

Would you prefer Oriental or

Western style for tomorrow's breakfast?

In fact, I'll leave in a moment too.

We'll leave after doing the business.

Understood.

Not in that way.

We really have matters to take care of.

Understood.

I think it's best to register.

We might not leave

after taking care of business.

Okay.

Don't worry.

Guests' information is

kept strictly confidential.

So, you came here to fulfill a vow?

Yeah.

All my wishes have come through.

We can be together again.

So, I have to come to
thank Perseus (a constellation).

Do you

have any new wishes?

No.

So many people make a wish

upon a star.

It must be busy.

Leave the chance

for those who need it.

I shouldn't be too greedy.

I'm considered

exceptionally, extremely,
incredibly lucky.

Of course,

thanks to your mom too.

She's the one who helped us.

Yeah.

In that way,

I need to thank Shen Po Qing too.

Without his reminder,

I wouldn't have thought of

asking my mom for help.

In that way,

I need to thank Tong Tong,

Da Chuan, Jia Shu and Le Yi.

And, your adorable parents.

Let's take a photo

and send it to them.

Good idea.

[Congrats for
recapturing my prince charming.]

Things would be less
awkward this way, huh?

[Congrats!]

[See you this weekend.]

[You don't need
to hide anything this time.]

[I'll be the guarantee.]

[Brother Yi,]

[I'll reserve myself as your groomsman.]

[What's the rush?]

[He doesn't have friends.]

[So, you don't need to be in a hurry.]

[Don't need to thank me.]

[Being able to help you]

[is my pleasure.]

[I'll always love you.]

Right.

There's something

I've been wanting to ask you.

After I confessed to you that day,

why didn't you accept me immediately?

Were you having worries?

Are you saying that I must

rejoice upon hearing your confession?

I don't mean it that way.

The problem is on my side.

In the past year,

you've made huge changes,

you've paid a hefty price and
made great sacrifices.

But, I

remained in the same place

and did nothing.

I felt uneasy.

I couldn't thank the heavens enough

that you've remained in the same place.

You said,

love involves limitless
affection for each other.

Because of that,

hence, one would bear the pain of

being apart for the other person.

Just to be together,

no matter how hefty the price or effort,

one would still be willing.

Because of the limitless affection,

hence,

one would be hopeful for the future.

Every step

is taken

with a clear direction

towards the destination.

Sheng Sheng,

I'm now more than sure

that I love you.

I'm also more than sure

that I love you.

[A shooting star shoots across the sky.]

[This intriguing journey of]

[a body switch has come to an end.]

What do you think of this ending?

As you editor, I love it.

However, doesn't it seem

too ideal for

celebrities to be given

such a perfect solution?

In fact, I've come up with

a few versions.

But, I still chose this version.

It may seem too good to be true.

But, I like such stories

that's full of hope and romance.

Perhaps, only I knew

what you've gone through

writing this novel.

Using your love life

as a reference point for writing,

impressive.

I didn't have any inspiration

while you're rushing me
for the submission.

Jiang Yi and I quarreled
a lot during then,

we weren't on speaking terms.

I couldn't understand the

different concerns of a celebrity.

Once, he got so upset that

he said, he wished to

switch identities with me,

so I could taste what it's like

to live his life.

That was what

brought me inspiration.

This is my first time hearing this.

So, what did you feel

and experience

writing this book?

Put aside the factors
of realistic emotions,

and think from the shoes

of the character.

That helped me understand him better.

Besides that,

a few new thoughts were birthed.

Spill them.

We often say "to feel as if
it had happened to oneself".

But, it's almost impossible to

achieve in real life.

Sometimes, people just

easily judge a person

according to

one-sided message

or by stereotyping.

Such as,

celebrities who get high site traffic

are not really talented.

Entertainment reporters are
just a bunch of people

who chase for gossip.

We also

subconsciously brand others.

Such as, "hypocrite",

"selfish",

"kind",

"good guy", "bad guy".

In fact, everyone is many-faceted.

We have multiple sides.

We are complex beings.

That's true.

Switching bodies

is the best method to
understand the other person.

It allows us to

be completely immersed to

experience the other person's life.

Like what you've written in the preface,

if men experienced

menstrual cramps,

they won't just tell us to
"drink hot water".

Yeah.

When I was deciding on the setting,

I was thinking,

it'd be awesome if everyone could

be completely present

to experience the other person's life.

Perhaps, people would not

easily blurt

words that hurt.

I can see that you and Yi Jiang

are like the main characters

in the novel.

It took a lot for

the both of you to be together.

Perhaps, had you understood

each other earlier,

the both of you could have

avoided the part where you broke up.

Perhaps, that's

part of maturing.

Right,

there's something I'm curious about.

When you wrote about

the broke up last year,

your love life hit a low,

and you couldn't continue.

So, you thought of

writing a tragic ending.

What made you come around?

And, I wasn't rushing you for submission.

But, you took the initiative to

turn the story around
with a wholesome ending.

Because, Yi Jiang came back.

And, we're back together.

Really?

Yes.

This year,

like Jiang Yi, the male lead

made many changes.

This ideal ending

is inspired by him.

It's also the purpose
he's been working for.

I've grown so much

from writing this novel.

It's also given me courage and strength

to face future obstacles

with him.

Look at you.

I envy you.

Makes me want to
fall in love listening to you.

Right,

would you be rectifying

the parts I mentioned

which might

arouse controversy?

No.

All that I hope and want to express

are written in there.

Controversy is inevitable,

because everybody

perceives differently.

I can't ask every reader

to jump into my story

and experience a body switch, right?

Okay, you have my support.

Tomorrow, I'll officially report

the topic selection.

You finished the novel?

Any comments?

Very interesting.

You're just trying to
get me off your back.

In fact, I've read

a part of it before this.

It's just that,

we were not on speaking
terms at that time.

So, there's a question

I haven't addressed.

You can address it now.

In real life,

we

knew each other only after
the band disbanded.

But, why did you

shift it to an earlier
timeline in the novel?

It's a novel.

Many stories and characters

are just fiction.

I didn't maintain

originality for all characters.

I jumbled them up and rearranged.

That way, readers wouldn't
come to assumptions.

For instance, we'd never

experienced body switch.

Actually, there is another reason.

It's something to do
with my selfish motives.

What is it?

You were the reference point
for the male lead's

experiences while growing up.

Your sadness and sorrows

are real.

A loving family

is extremely important

to a person's growth.

Some people say,

writing stories make up for

the regrets in real life.

My regret

is not knowing you earlier.

Any other questions?

Yeah.

Don't you think

their love

is too much of a rough journey

in the novel?

In the beginning, they experienced

body switch

where mutual understanding is needed.

After that, they needed to be cautious

even when kissing, hugging,

or holding hands

to avoid a body switch again.

Love isn't an easy thing

to start with.

Do you think

the possibilities for one
to meet the right one

would be higher than

the possibilities of two planets

colliding into each other?

Life is full of

changes and surprises.

So, we should treasure

every chance we get to hold hands,

hug and kiss.

Wow, you seemed smart.

My girlfriend taught me well.

[One day in life,]

[you'd meet someone]

[as if you've switched bodies with.]

[You'll understand each other,]

[respect each other,]

[you'll be fond of each other.]

[There will be unique involvement]

[and connection with the other person.]

[You sparkle like the star]

[in the eyes of the other person.]

[Dazzling]

[and glistening.]

[At that time,]

[please]

[hold each other's hand tight]

[while moving forward together]

[in this vast universe.]
