[Episode 1]
(I am Mi Chong*.) [*weevil in Mandarin.]
(I've known since I was little)
(that I'm a lucky person.)
[I know that I am a lucky person.]
(When I was still an embryo,)
(my family)
(had already started to prepare for my arrival.)
(And my story)
(began when my mother said these words.)
I must give birth to this baby!
[Delivery Room]
(My family sighed in relief)
(upon hearing my cries.)
(As for my grandpa,)
(he was so happy that he passed away.)
[Mother paternal grandpa, paternal grandma materal grandpa, materal grandma, father]
(When I was six,)
(I found that my maternal grandma)
(became an expert at hide and seek.)
(Her disappearance)
(led to my growing curiosity)
(about the outside world.)
(As for my mother,)
(she is someone who places great importance on leading by example.)
Why did you burn grandma's photo?
She's gone.
Keeping her around is not good for future generations.
(As for my father,)
(he is the strongest man in our family.)
(It took him 23 years)
(to prove that he is indeed the pillar of this family.)
(23 years.)
(My paternal grandma,)
(my maternal grandpa,)
(died one after another.)
(Only my dad remained strong.)
(I thought that he might just continue being like that.)
(Until last week...)
The patient on Bed 4 is awake!
Hurry, hurry!
(I finally and literally)
(became an orphan.)
(I think they are using the impermanence of life to show me that)
(losing control)
(is the essence of life.)
(And the only way to regain order is to)
[Reset everything] (reset everything.)
(Today is a good day.)
(It is also the date that Osamu Dazai)
(committed suicide.)
(I am happy to die)
(on the same date as him.)
(The reason why I wrote this letter is)
(to ask you to take care of my cat,)
(although its life is like mine)
(which does not have any meaning.)
(It should be stated that)
(there is a huge difference between)
(wanting to die and not wanting to live.)
(I think I belong to the latter.)
(Mi Chong.)
(There are five minutes left.)
(I'll make use of these five remaining minutes then.)
[Definitely Not Today]
[Eight hours later]
(This is the extremely painful beginning of a story.)
(This is the)
(first time Zhi Liao)
(and I met.)
[13 hours ago]
(I'm Zhi Liao.)
(My specialty is scamming people.)
Qiang.
(Qiang taught me that.)
(He's like a dad to me.)
(This is Jin Jie.)
(My partner.)
(Once I manage to hook the fish,)
(he's the one that helps to clean up after me.)
(In that sense,)
(we work perfectly well together.)
(Most of the harvest goes to Qiang, naturally,)
(while the rest are distributed based on our usual practice)
(50-50.)
(In this bar opened by Qiang,)
Bring the most expensive one.
(there are idiots who fall for the scam every day.)
Let's have a drink first.
Alright.
Have a drink first.
(Tonight...)
(is no exception.)
(Qiang previously said)
(everyone must be bad to some extent.)
(If you're not bad enough,)
(you will come across others who are worse than you.)
(At that time,)
(even the most skilled scammer)
(will fall for the trap.)
(But that day,)
(I forgot.)
Just one drink.
Come on.
Let's toast.
Another one.
Come on.
(Now, thinking back,)
(I really want to tell myself at that time)
("Screw you!")
Hurry, quick!
I know.
She's too heavy.
Aiya, stop whining.
Hurry up!
Come.
Get in the car.
Alright.
Let's go!
[Ms. Lu]
[Zhi Liao]
[Ms. Lu]
Aiya, turn off the phone.
Okay, okay, okay.
(Who allowed you to touch my things?)
(Hello, the subscriber you dialed is power off.)
[Zhi Liao]
(Hello, the subscriber you dialed is power off.)
This girl is pretty hot.
Bro, I really can't hold back anymore.
(I once heard)
(that in order to protect themselves,)
(some girls have taken a dump in their pants on the spot.)
(But)
(I can't do it.)
(Even so,)
(I should try harder to do something)
(to make them lose their sexual desires.)
Take off your jacket! Now!
Okay, okay, okay.
Hurry, come on.
What are you doing?
She's about to puke.
Wrap it with the jacket.
She'll puke on my clothes then!
If not?
I won't do it.
Hurry.
Are you serious?
She puked on me.
[Construction ahead, road closed]
Seriously...
What happened?
The car is scratched.
I told you to give her your clothes to puke,
and you refused.
You didn't do it
so I got distracted!
Easy for you to say!
Those are my clothes!
(Argue then.)
(Continue.)
(Do it longer.)
(Enjoy the last moments of your lives)
(when you can speak loudly.)
(As long as I escape,)
(when I see you next time,)
(I won't let you off so easily!)
How is this my fault?
You were the one driving the car!
Let's go!
(This is the extremely horrible beginning of a story.)
(This is the first time that Mi Chong and I met.)
(No, that's not right.)
(More accurately,)
(this is how I remembered our first meeting to be.)
Give me 3,000 yuan.
Then I'll pretend nothing happened.
Money.
O-ka-ne*. [*Japanese for "money".]
You don't want to give it?
Do you know
that I am helping you?
Helping me?
If my boss knew that
I spent the night
at your place,
he would definitely want you dead.
(Wasn't I the one who saved her?)
(That self-righteous expression on her face)
(is making me start to doubt my own memory.)
Sit!
(Usually under such circumstances,)
(you have to show confidence.)
(A lot of confidence.)
I'm looking for...
He's here.
Do you need anything?
I'm here to pay the rent.
(Money, money, money.)
(Money!)
You can give it to me.
Right?
Baby?
(Baby?)
Who would have thought
someone living in such a small apartment
could be a landlord?
(The smell I love the most.)
(Why are you looking at me?)
(It's not even yours.)
(Why is it not mine?)
(Since it's in my hands, it's mine.)
(It appeared when I said I wanted money.)
(This
(is fated to be mine.)
You...
Is this burglary?
What are you doing?
When you changed my clothes,
I'm sure you touched me here and there.
I didn't.
Of course I didn't.
Even if you didn't touch, I'm sure you saw something.
No.
I kept my eyes closed.
You didn't touch and didn't look.
Then how did you change my clothes?
You think you're trying to trick a kid?
I...
[Female Apprentice]
That's why
I'm not wrong
for asking for this money at all.
I
also won't let you lose out.
I'll let you take those
as keepsakes.
After all, girls' worn clothes online
are expensive.
Bye.
[2nd Building]
(I didn't go home the whole night.)
(Jin Jie must be going crazy)
(since he can't find me.)
(He's the person I trust most)
(in this city.)
(However, he's only human)
(when he's happy.)
(When he's not happy,)
(he's a scoundrel.)
(That's why I usually)
(don't make him angry.)
(He is very strong and muscular.)
(Although he isn't very smart,)
(he is pretty scary when he's angry.)
(But it's enough to be my partner.)
(But he doesn't seem to)
(like his status.)
I like you.
Be together with me.
(When it comes to love,)
(I have an instinctive fear.)
(But the live crisis I just had)
(enlightens me.)
(I want to pounce on him,)
(hug him,)
(kiss him,)
(and tell him)
("Let's give it a shot, you scoundrel!")
(But...)
Next time, if she jumps into the river again,
it won't just be your shoe I throw.
I am so sorry, misters.
Zhi Liao doesn't know better.
Once I find her,
I will make her repent for what she did to you.
(I found out)
(that the feeling of being betrayed)
(by the person you trust the most)
(is like holding an ice cream in your hand)
(without knowing how it fell to the ground.)
(No matter how much you want to eat it, you know that)
(you can't)
(because it has become very dirty.)
(Looking at the time,)
(suddenly I feel a bit irritated.)
(Because of this girl who suddenly appeared out of nowhere,)
(I missed the chance to have the same date of death as Mr. Dazai.)
(Do I have to wait another year?)
(Alright.)
(No matter what,)
(here I go.)
(Just for today,)
(I have practiced secretly countless times.)
(The rope won't work like this.)
(It's easy to undo.)
(As for this,)
(I can't put my head through.)
(As for this butterfly knot,)
(is it too effeminate?)
(To die a decent death,)
(I must do a lot of work.)
(I have to keep myself clean.)
(I have to keep the house clean.)
(Confirm again that)
(I have kept myself clean.)
(In order to let my neighbour discover my body early,)
(I have also made preparations.)
(For instance, by establishing good relations with her)
(to make sure that she visits me once in a while.)
(I'm sorry.)
(I hope she won't get a heart attack because of this.)
[Warning: triggering scenes ahead.]
(And this)
(is the best loop I've ever made.)
(Now,)
(I just need to wait patiently)
(for the rays of the setting sun)
(to pass through the windows)
(and pass through the glass.)
(The moment that it passes through my eyes,)
(it will become the last thing)
(that I see in my life.)
I suddenly thought
that I cannot let you off so easily...
What's happening?
I just want to hang my clothes.
It looks very sturdy.
Yeah...
(A crappy lie.)
(Only an idiot would fall for it.)
Let me help you.
That's pretty good.
There's sunlight.
Let me stay here for a few days.
I don't want to be alone.
What time do you usually work?
Do you make breakfast?
What are we eating tonight?
(Next time, I need to stick it)
(on a more obvious place.)
What are you doing?
I just tidied it up.
Why did you come back?
I'm just staying here for a few days.
The rent.
I'll paying you.
(It's all mine anyway.)
[Fall in Love at Dusk] (Welcome to the elderly blind dating show.)
(No matter how long she stays,)
(this person is ruining my plans.)
(If she had come 10 minutes later...)
(No.)
(Perhaps even just five minutes,)
(I would be done.)
[Who died today in history 615]
(No, no, no.)
(I can't keep checking.)
(I've reached my limit today.)
(No matter she leaves or not,)
(I have to die today.)
(I'll let her do what my neighbor)
(was supposed to do.)
(This time, I have to succeed)
(because I am)
(a lucky person.)
