Hurry up, dude! You're so late!
l haven't paid yet.
Hurry up!
l found the man you want.
Your problem is solved!
Have red wine at my place tonight.
How direct!
Just like a *** chasing a hen, no?
You're the beast, not me!
Hey, everybody! Let's start!
You! Take om your clothes.
Come here.
You kidding?
You're sacrificing me for the girl?
Everyone knows a model has to strip.
You think l'm an idiot?
No! They only care about your chest and legs.
lt's cold. Can l take om my top only?
Hang in there!
l didn't know THE VILLAGE's author is so young!
ls the Village the name of a real village?
Yeah! Why can't we find it on the map?
ls the name altered?
Your tale is so mysterious!
How do we get there?
Hey! We're not done yet! How rude of you!
Are you snubbing us?
Sorry! It's rude of me!
But my name isn't Hey! It's Gene.
Sorry!
Please excuse us! We're being too excited!
l'm John. She's my girlfriend ***.
He's our pal Timmy. And she's Rain.
We're all your loyal readers!
We dig the mysterious force you describe.
Yes! Only people truly in love...
will be blessed by Rouge in the Village.
The hypocritical...
shall be possessed by her spirit...
till they die! Is that right?
How can an ancient spirit judge modern love?
What really matters is romance!
She can tell whether you're truly in love!
The Village doesn't exist!
l made it up!
l'm an author! All authors are liars!
Were you lying just now?
Just now...
l saw Rouge standing behind you.
You've written before...
Rouge will appear behind a liar!
l saw Rouge laughing behind you!
OK!
Stop scaring yourselves.
l've been to the Village...
but there's no Rouge.
So where's the Village?
lt's OK. We aren't scared of the legend!
We've decided to get married end of this year.
They've been dating since they're little.
There's no Rouge!
And l won't tell you where it is!
Love is not a game. You can't test it.
Why did you go there in the first place?
Only you could explore but nobody else can!
You're just a flaunting, selfish author.
Yes, l'm selfish!
Sorry, can l go now?
Gene, Gene!
How did you get it?
l stole it! You think Gene would give it to me?
What a fan!
lf we can't go there, a pic is good enough.
Are you ready?
The Village.
What do you mean ''the Village'' ?
Hey, Sun Tzu!
My name is Tru Sun! Not Sun Tzu!
Can you ask for me...
if they found my thing in the atelier?
They didn't!
You were nude! What could you have dropped?
Really!
Then...forget it!
You're too egoistic to be an author!
You're only a liar.
You shouldn't have written THE VILLAGE.
You shouldn't have described it!
You've opened the Pandora's Box!
Thanks to you, others will get hurt entering the Village.
l call you a liar...
because you've made three grave mistakes.
First,
Rouge doesn't appear behind a person.
She always peeps at you from the ceiling.
Did you notice it?
Yes, l'm a liar!
Which author is not a liar?
l'm not writing a diary.
All authors inject their own imagination.
So what if l published the book?
Nobody can enter the Village because of my description.
l've hidden the secret.
Haven't you noticed it?
Who are you?
Who are you?
The Village is ageless.
lnside the village there's a mansion...
but villagers never go in...
because of a legend.
During the si_eenth century,
a couple named Ouyang lived in the mansion.
The husband got ill...
suddenly and died.
His wife Rouge had promised him...
she would stay with him forever.
Rouge kept her promise...
and stayed by his side for T days and 6 nights.
ln the end, the husband miraculously woke up...
Rouge was so elated...
she told the whole village.
But they believed her husband was a ghost...
and burned him to death inside the mansion.
Because of love...
Rouge set herself on fire as well.
From then on,
the mansion has become haunted.
Anyone who stayed there died one by one.
Mister! How are you?
Mister!
Staying out so late?
You guys are from the city?
Yes, we're from Beijing. You've been there?
No, but l plan on going in spring ne_ year.
ls it easy to find a job there?
lt's OK! But we're students.
What are students doing here?
You heard of the mansion in the Village?
What mansion? We only have run-down houses!
That's not possible!
Where can we find lodging here?
This isn't a tourist area.
lt's so late. You can stay at my place.
You can tell me more about Beijing.
But l have to warn you...
not to run around at night!
Especially when you hear strange noises,
you gotta stay indoors!
My name is Rouge.
You think secrets really exist in this world?
Can secrets remain unrevealed?
Once the entrance to the Village is exposed,
nature will become unprotected...
like darkness being dispelled by moonlight,
and the secret will be unveiled instantly.
There's no way to hide it.
Only true love is undecipherable.
As for your personal secret,
you think nobody knows you live on Xin Si Xi Lu?
Your writings are maleficent.
Your second mistake...
is to eat noodles while reading this e-mail!
Are you really Rouge?
lf you are really Rouge, all l can say is sorry.
l'm not your husband,
but the stupid villagers who burnt him to death.
But l don't think you are Rouge!
You want to play cat-and-mouse with me?
Go ahead!
You keep saying that l'm maleficent.
But why?
You're saying someone...
saw you eating noodles while reading e-mails?
That's weird!
What happened? New e-mails?
Our chat history is all gone! All saved memories are gone!
You sure it happened in the last two days?
You didn't sleepwalk?
Have you heard of those computer hackers?
l'm not sure.
But l don't think that's a hacker!
Look! Nobody can see you from whatever angles...
eating noodles while reading e-mails.
Look for yourself!
lt's not possible.
To be able to hack into your computer...
and see you eating noodles and reading e-mails,
there's only one possibility!
Rouge's ghost!
Hello!
lf you think your writings are not maleficent,
why did you leave out details about the well?
That's your third mistake.
You dare not tell the truth!
You dare not own up to Rouge's existence!
Rouge's existence doesn't matter to me!
Why do you have to call me?
How did you get my number?
Of course it matters.
lt shows you've seen what's inside the well!
Hello!
Why did he kneel in front of the clim?
Let's tail him again tomorrow!
He definitely knows where the mansion is.
Give me a hug.
l'm not in the mood today!
You always get what you want but l have to follow your mood!
***!
***! ***!
***!
John! John!
Hey? Where are you?
***!
***!
Timmy! Be careful!
Chill out! Pluck up your courage!
Hello?
We found the mansion!
Nothing scary here.
Don't go in!
You're afraid after we've entered the mansion,
The Village's secret will no longer be exclusive.
You guys come back right away!
Hello? Louder, please!
Hello!
John!
Come up here!
According to the novel,
Rouge's husband was dragged to the Eastern cell...
and burned alive!
Rouge took a bath by herself.
She decided to set herself on fire.
ln the end,
she was engulfed by the fire alive...
and died here!
Timmy!
Timmy!
l was just kidding you guys!
ldiot!
Since we're already here...
let's verify the legend!
Only people truly in love will be blessed by Rouge!
The hypocritical...
shall be possessed by Rouge...
till they die!
***! What are you trying to do?
We better prove ourselves before too late!
We can ask each other questions but cannot lie.
Or Rouge's spirit will possess us.
Can we stop joking?
Let's start!
OK! Here's a knife.
Whoever the knife points at can ask first!
***!
Rain
have you ever been unfaithful to Timmy?
No way! Are you envious of us?
Forget it! Let's step outside and take a look!
Never mind!
l got something to clarify anyway!
Some scientists believe spirits...
are illusions triggered by EM waves.
When a reader thinks of Rouge on reading your book,
his thoughts generate a weak EM wave.
But since you have so many fans,
their EM waves gather together in resonance.
When their frequency and amplitude become strong,
they will be transmitted to your brain,
giving you illusions,
making you think you e-mailed with Rouge...
and talked to her on the phone!
What?
Listen!
The more you think of her,
the more 3-dimensional the illusion becomes.
Rouge will materialize in front of you!
Rouge is here!
Crazy!
You scared me to death!
lt's you who scared me to death!
Why are you here? Are you a delivery boy now?
None of your business!
l asked him to come!
Two heads are better than one!
As l told you before,
if you really see a ghost, there's nothing l can do.
l'm powerless!
lt doesn't matter how many people you ask!
You're suspicious in nature. You don't trust anyone!
lt depends on how you interpret these weird things,
how you go about solving them!
Take it!
Thanks!
What's the matter?
Mirror! A medium for ghosts to show up!
When EM waves first turn into an illusion,
it's invisible in real life but not in a mirror!
l know about mirrors.
We detectives use them for counter-surveillance.
Why did you let her go?
l told you before,
l'm powerless with ghosts,
especially one who's targeting you for revenge!
Humbug!
A quiet conscience sleeps in thunder!
lt's all because you broke a promise!
l've always kept our promise!
Really?
So why did you write THE VILLAGE?
After our exploration, didn't you...
say it's our secret?
l didn't know you'd tell the whole world...
like a jilted lover.
And you even badmouthed me!
What about did l badmouth you?
The Village is our story.
l didn't forbid you from writing about it!
You could write about it too, Miss Gigi Ouyang!
lf l hadn't told you the legend, would you've known?
Thief!
Although you're an Ouyang,
it doesn't mean others cannot write about it!
l didn't write about it because you said...
neither of us should go there alone.
The mansion is the sweet memory of us both.
Now that you've written all about it,
other people will go look for the Village.
You're not afraid they would mar your memory.
Sure, you're right! Someone has indeed gone there.
What did you say?
But that wasn't my intention!
So why did you write the book?
After we broke up,
l was looking for you all the time!
But every time l called you,
it's always voice-mail.
You should have left a message!
Why can't you be straightfoM/ard for once?
lf you'd called twice, l would have answered.
Why should l have called twice?
Once means you're lonesome or impulsive;
twice means you're really missing me.
You always like creating your own rules.
That's the way l am!
Ever since the first day l met you, l've told you...
l wasn't your equalizer.
l don't take care of you. You don't take care of me.
l won't settle down and l'm a troublemaker.
At the beginning, you were OK with that.
You found...you found it acceptable.
But then you started finding me annoying.
You were annoyed at everything l did.
l'm annoying after all! That's it!
Miss
l hadn't said anything! You left me first!
The annoying Gene is back!
lt's the annoying Gigi who's back!
Hello?
ls that Gene?
l can't stand it anymore!
Help me!
John, he...
John and the others are driving me crazy!
Where are you?
Still in the Village?
l was in the atelier.
Now l'm inside a phone booth.
l don't know where l am!
What're in the surroundings?
Any buildings?
Sorry, *** has been having nightmares lately.
But she's calmed down already.
Pass the phone to *** for a sec!
Oh! The bus is here! We just came back.
We gotta catch the bus for the dorm!
Anyone knows where *** Han is?
Why are you here?
You said you're worried about those students.
l called a friend to investigate for me.
He called me this morning,
said he found a girl that fit my description...
but she's dead already!
l came here to check it out!
Can l go in and have a look?
She has three eyes!
*** must have photographed something!
Could it be Rouge?
lmpossible!
l told you not to write about the Village!
See, *** has hit the fan now!
Does it hurt?
You finally speak! Feeling better now?
What should we do ne_?
Sir, let's take separation action!
l'll watch over John, Ye over Rain...
and you over Timmy!
You go home first!
Don't worry. l'll take care of it!
The annoying Gene is back!
Hello!
l saw that well!
That afternoon,
after Timmy fell down,
we were terrified.
We wanted to leave right away.
But as you know,
in order to leave,
we first had to wait!
OtheM/ise, you'd be attacked by the bats!
We were stuck there.
The four of us used to be good friends.
But we started harboring secret thoughts.
We were avoiding one another!
l met Timmy when we were fifteen...
and we've been inseparable since.
But at that very moment...
l felt a lot of pressure being with him.
You know very well Rain is coquettish...
and you still have to fall into her trap!
What do you mean?
Are you saying l'm dumb and you despise me?
l indeed despise you!
She only shows you some flesh...
and you become her dog!
Hush!
***! Just listen to your vicious tongue...
and you'll understand why John lusts after me!
***!
Why? We've only done it once...
and that's it! No more strings attached!
***!
l was just bickering for the sake of bickering.
ln fact, l only love Timmy!
But which girl doesn't like to be chased,
especially by her boyfriend's best friend?
Every girl should feel excited!
What happened?
What have you done?
l never imagined...
there's a price for this excitement!
Did you push *** down?
No! *** was pulling me!
No! *** let go of my hand and fell down!
Did you push her first?
She let go of my hand and fell down accidentally!
l'm asking you, did you push her?
No, l didn't!
What did you say?
l don't know!
How can you not know?
l really don't know!
Did you...go down the well after all?
***!
***!
Why are you here?
Weren't we talking to Gene?
What's this place?
*** kept on babbling.
We thought she hit her head...
and lost her memory temporarily.
Only now do we understand...
it's not memory loss.
Like what is said in the legend,
we didn't pass the love test.
Rouge's spirit has followed us.
She wants us dead!
Don't think too much.
Rouge is only a legend!
***'s death is an accident!
Nobody followed you.
John has been possessed by Rouge.
The ne_ one...
shall be mine!
After ***'s accident,
John has moved back to his family home.
Why are so many people looking for him now?
A girl just came.
l didn't push her down.
l really didn't push her down!
lt's not me...
lt's me!
lt's me!
Here's the situation:
according to the police report,
this is another accident!
lmpossible!
See how in sync you are!
And you're wearing the same kind of sca_!
Well? You're no longer separated?
Were they really possessed by Rouge?
Stop being delusional!
Help me investigate.
How do l investigate?
You must have written too many detective stories.
What do you think this is?
*** in a private cell?
John died in a bathroom locked from inside.
There's nobody else there! Gigi knows that.
Either Gigi lied...
or she's the murderer herself, right?
l'm just a detective.
l'm no ghost buster!
First, it was ***.
Then, it was John. And?
Rain
l've already asked my police friends...
to call me if there's any news.
She tried to jump the tracks in a subway station.
Lucky there wasn't any train.
Who are you? Jumping the tracks?
Where's Timmy?
Wasn't l eating ice cream here just now?
We locked her up, lest she'd have an accident.
Can we go in?
Rain
Who are you?
What do you want?
Why did you tie me up?
Untie me! Calm down!
Untie me!
Nurse, Tranquillizer!
Untie me! Please get out first!
Untie me!
Let's go...
l told you, ghosts are just EM waves.
lt's easy to explain possession.
You come here!
Human brains normally give out Beta Waves.
Hand!
The EM waves in the well bombarded their brains.
Look, the two waves are hitting each other.
The Beta Waves are disturbed, causing mental disorder.
That simple?
Tru, before Rain's parents arrive,
can you prove she's not possessed?
l can try.
This wave detector is very sensitive.
Whatever you dial, it will react.
A signal indicates there're unknown objects here.
Hello
Hello
Hello
Why are you calling me?
You said l could dial whatever number.
You have too much time on your hands or what?
This is an antique from the Ming Dynasty.
lt's used for exorcism.
We call it Magic Mirror now.
What are you doing?
lt's you again?
Who is it?
lt's not me.
What have you done to me?
Why do l look like that?
Possessed by Rouge?
lf she's not you,
then who is she?
Rain
don't be scared.
We're here to help you!
Come
Look, this is me.
So that's you?
No, this is not me!
Where are my freckles?
Why are they gone?
My hair isn't like that!
How comes it's short and curly?
lt's supposed to be straight and soft!
Timmy told me...
he likes me wearing ram's horn braids.
Where's Timmy?
Where's he?
We were together just now!
He made my favorite ice cream for me!
Why am l here?
How did l know your equipment didn't work?
Tru, l'm out of time.
Do get it ready for me soon.
You're going back to the Village?
You're right.
l shouldn't have written about the Village.
l feel responsible!
You don't think you need to tell me?
Why do l always have to ask your opinion?
Because you promised me!
Can you stay out of this?
You're still so self-centered.
You want others to follow you!
l told you, l'm not the moon.
l won't follow your path.
l know.
You're always the sun...
and l'm the Earth. l have to rotate around you?
How are you?
Rain
Who are you?
l'm Timmy.
You don't look like Timmy.
He doesn't have dark pouches.
His hair is much cleaner than yours!
And he's always clean shaven.
Timmy is an ingenuous boy.
He's not cunning at all.
He doesn't speak much.
He only likes to keep me company.
A moment ago...
l secretly kissed him...
because he never takes the initiative.
But that's the way he is!
l told you before,
l'm willing to be your puppet,
spending my life with you.
Who'd expect l could have reneged.
l've stolen away!
Who are you?
How do you know about Timmy and me?
l am Timmy!
Let go of me! Who are you?
Rain! l'm Timmy! Rain!
Rain
This song...
is our favorite.
The first time you sang it to me,
we were on our way to the library!
Doctor! Doctor!
Doctor!
Rain's brain cells are showing signs of atrophy.
Only induced coma can keep her alive!
Tru, can you really find Rouge?
Who knows?
Whether or not Rouge really exists,
everything started with the Village.
l gotta go back,
or Rain will not survive!
OK! l'll stop here.
Take care, you guys!
Be careful!
lf you hadn't reneged and returned to the Village,
l wouldn't need to follow you like a fool!
This isn't a game, Miss!
l never said it's a game.
lt's you who first opened the door to the mansion.
Looks like you didn't take it seriously.
Tru! You...
l should be the one going down the well.
l'm an Ouyang. l should find out the secret!
OK!
Tru, help her get dressed!
Don't come down yet!
Listen!
Gene, you've reneged again! Old habits die hard!
Be patient.
lf there's really something weird down here...
and l meet with any mishap,
you're the only one who can save me.
l'm giving you my life now.
Just listen to me for once.
All right?
By the way,
if you come down and something happens to you,
l don't think l can live on.
However, if something happens to me,
l think you can handle it.
You're always stronger than l.
Did you hear me?
Gigi?
Hello?
Can you hear me?
Everybody can hear you!
So corny! The machine will be out of battery SOOn.
lf anything happens, nobody can save you!
What the hell, keep dallying with him.
Or we won't know if he's alive or not.
Gene...
Tru has given us permission to talk!
Tell him not to worry.
We're more familiar with this place.
You can't blame him.
When we came here two years ago,
you were also shocked by the magnetic field.
Look who's talking.
You didn't drop the toolbox as l told you...
and was sucked to the ceiling like Superman.
You almost scared me to death!
Scared? l remember you said it's cool!
lf l'd said l was scared, wouldn't you be more scared?
This place is so weird. You should have listened to me...
and turned Rouge into a scary ghost in your book.
Why does she have to be a tragic figure?
That's your idea. l didn't dare to plagiarize it.
As an ordinary reader,
l think Gene modeled Rouge on Gigi.
That's what l call scary.
l think this reader must be uneducated!
Rouge is as lovable as Gigi.
How can you find her scary?
True.
That's exactly what scares me!
Gene, Gene?
Gene
ls that Gene?
Who are you?
Why are you here?
What's this place?
l wanted to borrow this book. You got it first!
You want it? l can lend it to you.
No need!
You liar!
Believe it or not,
l had a dream in the library.
l saw you standing by a well,
eyes all red.
You jumped at me and tried to kiss me!
Are you kidding?
Not at all!
That's the worst pick-up line l've ever heard!
A dream lover? How unoriginal!
You read detective novels. Are you an explorer?
No, l like writing fantasy tales...
and publishing them on line.
l was doing research at the library.
Tell you what, l also like to write novels.
When you publish your writings on line,
do you use a pen name? Are you an author?
My name is Gene Guo. l don't use a pen name.
Me neither! l'm Gigi Ouyang!
People on the web like to ask me...
if my name is taken from Minnelli's film.
Some of them ask if l'm a *** star.
l don't know why my parents named me Gigi.
ln Italy, Gigi is the short form for Luigi.
So Gigi can also be a man's name!
Not funny?
lt bombed?
Here's my stop! Gotta go! Bye!
How can l find you?
What did you say?
l said, how can l find you?
Library! Just go to the library!
Gigi Ouyang!
Gene, what day is today?
August 8, 200T.
Why?
Look! Today is March 24, 2010!
You're the only one who can save me.
l'm giving you my life now.
lf you come down and something happens to you,
l don't think l can live on.
Like Rain,
the magnetic field has amected his brain waves.
His thoughts are regressed to the past.
But it's lucky it's only three years back.
OtheM/ise, he can't even recognize us!
Rain is regressed to when she's 15 years old.
lt's when she and Timmy were the happiest.
Gene is regressed to when he first met Gigi.
l still think it has to do with Rouge's spirit.
She keeps people in their happiest moments...
until they die.
What's so sweet about first love?
You're such a geek, of course you won't get it.
l've been a detective for years.
lt's sweet for sure!
Wait!
lf Rouge real exists,
she would only harm those who betray love.
But anyone who's seen his corny video record...
would never doubt his love for Gigi is true.
But we can't blame Rouge if she's mistaken!
For the past three years...
if l had known what's in Gene's head,
l wouldn't have left him that long.
You young folks are too complicated.
l don't know it doesn't mean l don't believe it.
lf Rouge really exists, l'm willing to prove to her!
Although Gene always argue with me,
he will never leave me.
How do you prove that?
You think ghosts care about your evidence?
Anyway, how can you verify love?
What's the matter? Dreaming?
Dreamed about me again?
l didn't only see you...
but you were saying you believed l loved you...
and l wouldn't leave you.
You think love is that simple?
You ought to know...
l'm not an equalizer for your troubles.
l'm not gonna dream with you.
And l...
l'm not gonna take care of anybody.
l won't settle down and l'm a troublemaker.
l need someone to take care of me.
lf...
you can't accept me the way l am,
then let's not talk about love.
Leave me some room for imagination.
All right?
OK,
l accept!
Say it again.
l said, no problem.
l...
love this troublesome Gigi Ouyang!
Annoying.
l accept it even if it's annoying.
Ok
Come here!
Come, let's swim!
l don't know how to swim!
Let me show you.
Come down. Hurry up!
l always want a big pool of my own...
so l can swim with my true love till l'm exhausted.
Take swimming lessons so ...
my dream can come true.
l know how *** and John died.
They didn't know when they'd lose control...
and then they had an accident!
l'm luckier than they are.
At least l have you guys to watch over me.
l know your feelings.
l'm like you.
l can't even recognize you.
But l know there's one person...
who will never change...
whatever l do.
When l see her unhappy,
l know...
l must have done something that upset her.
l want to start all over again with her!
But l cannot.
lt doesn't matter if you cannot.
l've promised you l'd be your puppet.
As long as you won't give up,
l'll spend the rest of my life with you.
Did you make this ice cream?
Doctor! Doctor!
What happened?
Move over, please!
Please get out for the moment.
Make way!
Were you dreaming?
lt's a nightmare!
Was l there again?
l guess so! l can't really remember!
So l'm your nightmare!
My dreams have been very weird lately.
But they seemed so real.
Like the well in that deserted village.
Maybe we can go there to find out.
l'm not going. l'm afraid of ghosts!
You heard the deserted village was haunted.
Though l'm an Ouyang, l've never been there.
lt's haunted. No way! l won't let you go either!
lt's cool if it's haunted!
l can get firsthand information if it's haunted.
What are you doing?
What?
l'm scared!
There's nothing to be scared of.
l wanna go back. This place is haunted!
Stop the nonsense.
You're always imagining things.
l'm really scared.
Don't drink so much. You're scaring yourself.
l drink because l'm scared!
What's with you? You find me annoying again?
Not at all.
Although you won't admit it,
your face has betrayed you.
Perhaps one day you will tell me pointedly...
that you're sick of me. You'll say l'm annoying
and l'm too cocksure about everything.
A cocksure Gigi, that's exactly whom l like.
OK?
l'm telling you...
if you ever lie to me, l'll never forgive you.
Comrade Gigi, l promise...
l'll strive to eliminate your doubt.
That's my commitment and the mission of my life.
Omicer, if you're so powe_ul,
can you stop the world to preserve this moment?
Sure. l promise you...
this village is the memory of us both.
Neither of us should come back alone...
or tell a third person,
lest our memory be disturbed.
SATS: 88. Heart beat: 108.
100cc of 20c.
Blood is passing from her bronchus to her right Iung.
200cc of 20c.
Can't stop the bleeding.
Another bleeding point... Prepare the defibrillator.
One...two...three...
Again! One...two...three...
SATS: O. Heart beat: O.
Time of death: 1330 hours.
Please go outside.
You were right.
Love is not a game.
lt can't be tested!
Just then, l thought...
we could start all over again.
But we have been cursed by Rouge.
None of us could survive T days.
lt can't be.
Gene's been back from the Village for 4 days.
ln another 3 days, he'll die in the morning.
Shut up.
Gene!
Gene!
Gene!
Gene!
Don't let him run around, or he'll have an accident.
That's not only for his health...
but for the wellbeing of other people.
You'll be fine.
You will wake up for sure.
Everything will pass.
Be good!
Wake up now.
Can you hear me?
Wake up!
How long have l slept!
For the whole day.
What's up, Tru?
***'s folks found 2 jades among her remnants.
l just ran some test on them.
Their carbon composition is very unsteady.
The magnetic waves they generate...
are as strong as the magnetic field inside the well.
The jades belonged to Rouge.
They got into trouble after nabbing her stum.
***'s folks also think they bring bad luck.
They want us to take them back.
I If we'd known earlier
Gene wouldn't be possessed by Rouge.
Nobody has ever seen Rouge before.
So nobody can be definite about anything.
l've said a hundred times but you never listen.
How annoying!
Annoying? Who's more annoying?
Why aren't you in bed? Waiting for me?
Why should l wait for you?
You have your drink buddy.
Why come home at all?
What're you saying?
Gene, are you always annoyed at my drinking?
That's true.
You think l stayed out late drinking...
because l was with another man...
having sex?
Yes.
All right.
From now on, no need to be annoyed anymore. Bye!
Don't go!
What's the matter?
Where's Gigi?
She'll come tomorrow. You take a rest.
Where is she?
Where the hell is she?
l'm asking you.
She's going back to the Village, she said.
Are you crazy?
How could you let her go?
You shouldn't let her go near the well!
Listen up,
just calm down first.
Push him down.
Let me go!
Tru, watch out for her.
Nurse!
l wetted my bed!
l wetted my bed!
Nurse!
What happened?
l'm sorry l wetted my bed!
Hey! Big Author!
l finished your book, THE VILLAGE. Very good!
Very scary.
Can you autograph for me later?
My girlfriend is a big fan of yours!
Help! The patient has fainted! You OK?
Don't run!
Stop!
Gene!
Gene!
Stay cool! Let's talk.
Yes.
l have to go back. It's my destiny.
He's in critical condition.
ls that you?
Rouge.
Are you Rouge?
l'm Gigi Ouyang.
l'm here to return your jade pendants.
The guys who took them have been punished.
lt has nothing to do with Gene.
Don't be mad at him.
Gene, l'm sorry.
l have to leave you behind and go now.
You haven't left me behind.
And l won't let you go.
What's the matter? Tired?
Chasing you made me tired.
What's the matter? Hasn't Rouge believed me?
l'll go down and beg her again!
Don't do anything stupid. It's a waste of time!
Don't stop me. l know l'm stupid...
but all l have is time.
But l don't.
ln fact, Rouge has believed us.
She won't hurt you!
Or we would have met with mishap already.
The only thing we can do now...
is to quietly...
spend every single second together.
The longer we're together,
the more satisfied l will be.
Let's...
happily...
fall in love again.
OK?
OK
l just had a dream.
A nightmare?
A sweet dream you'll never believe!
Do you know...
what l've done...
since you left?
Tell me.
l wanna know how ...
you've been doing without me.
l followed you.
l secretly watched you swim.
l secretly watched you drink.
Turns out they're all girls.
l called you...
but l didn't dare to leave a message.
Consequently,
l wrote this book,
hoping...
to put all my thoughts about you
into words.
How silly of you!
lf you had told me all this sooner,
l wouldn't have scared you with e-mails.
lt's good that you scared me,
Or...
we might not have met again.
All right,
from now on, you must follow my orders!
After you wake up in the morning,
you gotta hug me at breaMast.
ln the afternoon,
you gotta tell me a joke.
ln the evening,
you gotta cook dinner with 3 reasons you love me.
No! 3 is perhaps too many.
One is enough!
Can you tell me now?
Gene
Gene
l've gone through the most incredible experiences,
including indelible love and regrets!
l've turned them into a novel...
which is dedicated to my dearest friends.
Thank you all!
Thank you, Miss Gigi Huang...
for sharing your new book with us.
Now we have a Q&A session.
Are there any questions?
ls it a true story?
lt's fictional.
lnspiration came from four of my friends.
l hope they won't mind...
l kill them all in the book.
So why did you want to write about love...
and farewell?
l had a car accident one year ago.
After that,
l understood the true meaning of farewell...
and love.
Right now, l...
can only express myself in writing...
in order to prove my love.
You owe me T98 reasons you love me.
What's the reason today?
All right! Come!
Let's see...
what the readers sent you.
Dear Author, how are you?
l like your character, Gene. l find him very real.
Of course, l've injected your ill temper into him.
A penny for your thoughts!
What's your dream?
Nothing.
All right.
From now on, l, Gigi Huang, will be your dream!
