Episode 1(1:35)

Here, here! I'm giving it to you, I'm giving it to you, I'm giving it to you! Hurry up and take it, take it, take it! I want to get married, take it, take it, marriage, hurry up! My eightyearlong love story with Xu Yicheng was supposed to finally come to an end on the day of my best friend's wedding. But instead, it turned into a oneperson show. I'm going to start filming. See who grabs it first. 3, 2, 1. One, give it to me. Marry her, marry her, marry her, marry her, marry her! The bouquet has to go to him, the wife must be there. I'm still waiting for him to say that one sentence todayI will marry you. You're not really like you used to be. The person who grabbed it first is the lucky one, dear. Let's wait for the next time. I never ended up hearing Xu Yichen say "I will marry you" in person. Xu Yichen. There won't be a next time. My wedding is next week, and you'll never have the chance to be my bride again.

Episode 2(1:16)

Xu Yichan, what did you say? You know very well that Xinran has been waiting for this moment for eight years. Why are you still not saying it now? Why must you let her down? It's not the person who first met the flower. You. It's all your fault, hey. Don't, Xinran, don't block me. It's this woman who made me agree with all the bridesmaids that this bouquet is for you. Miss Wei, it's really not my fault. This bouquet was in my hands first. Mr. Xu, please believe me, I didn't do it on purpose. The phone didn't end up in Xieran's hands, so there's no fate. Don't trouble Wan Ning. And you, Xu Yichen, you, the wedding isn't over yet, don't ruin your wedding because of me. I don't know. Wan Ning, it's too chaotic here, I'll take you over there. I'm searching, in my heart, what does the eightyear feeling I have for you really mean?

Episode 3(1:38)

Xinran, I brought Shen Lin to apologize to you. If it wasn't for his poor arrangement, there wouldn't have been an extra best man, and Wen Yuanning wouldn't have stepped in. Xinran, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If there hadn't been an extra best man, Wen Yuanning wouldn't have come back, and the first person to grab the bouquet would have been you. It's okay. You don't need to feel guilty. Xu Yichen has never taken our relationship seriously as a woman. Even if I was the first to grab the bouquet, Xu Yichen wouldn't have said he wants to marry me. He would have found another excuse to get out of it. That scumbag was standing so close to Xu Yichen, you'd think he was Xu Yichen's boyfriend. He's Xu Yichen's secretary, and they are always very close. No matter what occasion, Xu Yichen always brings her. Even at your wedding, Xu Yichen brought her, Xinran. I've had people investigate, and half a month ago, he did everything possible to stay by Xu Yichen's side. He's really skilled at this. Do you want me to feed you? Today, you're the most beautiful bride, don't talk about this. Okay. Then you be careful, and Shen Lin and I will go to toast. Go back. You've had some alcohol. I'll call a driver for you.

Episode 4(1:39)

You're angry, didn't we agree that next time for sure? Our wedding is definitely going to be better than yours. You can have as many nice words as you want later, so don't be angry anymore, okay? It's always like this. Just say "next time" and then think everything is fine. I used to believe him naively, but he doesn't know I can't go on anymore. Licheng. Hmm. Me and Vivi made a promise when we were kids. Who would mind having a wedding banquet? The other person can't stay more than a week. We'll wear the dresses we make for each other. We'll be the first to witness each other's happiness. You actually took those childhood jokes seriously. Now the plan can't keep up with the changes. We need to prepare the hotel arrangements at least half a year or even a year in advance. We need to plan carefully, and I'll give you a perfect wedding. Actually, he didn't explain why he didn't dare to say "I marry you" in public just now. Instead, he directly changed the topic to how to plan a perfect wedding. Just like last month. Wow. Xinran, you look really beautiful in this outfit. This is specially made for you. On your wedding day, I'll make you an even more beautiful one. Xu Yichen, quickly look, does the fairy look really good in this? It's nice. At that time, I was happy for my best friend who married for me. But I also felt sad about my versatile and complicated feelings.

Episode 5(1:29)

Xu Chang, I'm tired. Being a bridesmaid is hard, so you should go back and rest early. Wanqing said she couldn't find a taxi, and it's not safe for a girl to be alone. I can go pick her up. Are you waiting for me to care about you as usual? Yes. Why are you still going out so late? There's an urgent matter at the company, I need to go right away. You should go to bed early. Don't wait for me. Okay, then be careful. I won't care about him anymore in the future. Never again. Still throwing a little tantrum, really. Driver, let's go. Xu Yicheng, I'll let you go after a week. And I'll finally let go of that broken self.

Episode 6(1:50)

Red sky, bright sky, it's beautiful. This was a place I planned when I bought this house four years ago, intended for our future child with Dr. Xu. When the story ended with regret. Ichiro, this is the dojo I specially prepared for my future child, do you like it? Like it. Ichirou. I didn't expect you to have thought so carefully. I'm ready, wait for you to write. Four years have passed, we are not married, nor do we have a child. This nursery room has also been abandoned. I wish I could erase tomorrow. These are things left from my university days with Xu Ichirou, even the love letters he wrote to me were kept. However, You must have long forgotten them. I just want...

Episode 7(1:18)

Yichen. Hmm, I want you to carry me like this forever. Is that okay? Of course. When you get old, I'll carry you for the rest of my life. Always carrying you. Still not asleep. Yeah. How did you bring all this up? Nostalgia? Did you send Wu Yuanyu back? Yes, I did. She lives far away, it's hard to take a taxi. No problem. Go to sleep. Xu Yucheng. Hmm. Why don't we break up? Still thinking about things without cost, don't think about nonsense. Okay, I'll tell your dad tomorrow about something bigger, that should be fine, right? Go wash up and sleep, we have a meeting at the company early tomorrow. Hmm. I'm getting married in a week.

Episode 8(2:19)

Xinran, stop acting like this, okay? Marriage is a big deal, not something you can just decide on a whim. The hotel is booked for May 28th, and the wedding dress has already been chosen. Did that Lin Jianwei say something to you? He wants to get married in a rush, but he wants everyone else to be as impulsive as him. Xinran, wake up, don't let your girlfriends influence you. We've been through so much these years. Doctor Xu. The celebration starts tomorrow. Do you think this will help? What you're doing only makes me think you're childish and unreasonable. Right now, I'm in the rising stage of my career. Marriage will only distract me, mess up all my plans and strategies. Do you know? Your attention isn't just divided between important projects and those people, is it? It's also in your heart. I'm just an old person who's lost her novelty. Su Qing, are you really that angry with me? Yes, everyone else is getting married, and I want to get married too. This is something I bought excitedly half a year ago, but what I got was only a "hussy" from Xu Yucheng. After that, I never looked at it again. Doctor, look at this. Why did you buy this stuff? It's very useful, it's for our marriage preparation, so that when we get married, we... Don't worry, it's fine. I have something else to do. Don't look at this messy stuff. If it's messy, then there's no need to keep it.
