Synopsis

Bayanbulak,

A stormy night of thunder and lightning.

Lin Yi is driving a jeep, rushing back to school to deliver teaching materials to the children. As he passes a campsite, a motorcycle suddenly appears and starts tailing him relentlessly.

The thunder is so loud that Lin Yi can't make out what the young man on the motorcycle is shouting. But judging by his bandit-like air, he must be trying to rob him.

So when Lin Yi is forced to pull over, he grips his butterfly knife. To his surprise, the man taps on the window and presses his phone against the glass.

A sentence has been typed on the screen in advance.

Can I have your contact information?

*

Northeast China,

A small town battered by wind and snow.

The car Lin Yi rented has frozen into an icy specimen, so the rental company has to send another one.

When he goes to pick it up, he sees a man in a Lei Feng hat standing beside a black SUV. Sunglasses and a beard cover most of the man's face, so Lin Yi can't make him out. He can only say, "Sorry, sir, but I rented this car."

Before he can finish, the man visibly freezes. He slowly turns around and removes his sunglasses with a trembling hand.

The instant their eyes meet, they both widen in surprise.

"Lin Yi..."

When Du Minchun speaks, Lin Yi is even more surprised. They only caught a brief glimpse of each other on that rainy night five years ago and never got in touch afterward. He never thought this man would still remember his name.

"Can I have your contact information one more time?"

The handsome young man, with his roguish, bandit-like air, blushes to the ears as he fumbles inside the lining pocket of his leather coat and pulls out a crumpled piece of paper he'd kept close to his heart. The rain has soaked the numbers so thoroughly that not a single one is legible.

"It was raining so hard that day. I didn't take good enough care of it."

[Bonus Scene]

In the dead of night, the jeep parked by the river has been rocking gently, then violently, for hours without stopping. Curled up in Du Minchun's arms, Lin Yi is trembling like a quail.

"...I really can't take any more."

"You're already giving up?"

Du Minchun is like an ox plowing a field, driving on with his head down. "Is that all you're capable of, Teacher Lin?"

Faint voices drift closer, as if someone has come to fish by the river at night. Lin Yi instantly tenses up, his body curling in on itself uncontrollably.

The stubborn ox suddenly stops.

The car falls silent.

Lin Yi can't help bursting into laughter. "Is that all you're capable of, Colonel Du?"
