I'm here. Am I a little late? Don't be angry. I did it on purpose. I wanted to talk to you quietly and didn't want to be disturbed.
Mom and Dad are doing well. Mom really hasn't played mahjong anymore; she's taken to reading instead. You wouldn't believe it, but she's already read most of the books in your study! However, she doesn't recognize many of the words, so she always asks Dad to look them up on his phone. Dad is healthier now, and his blood pressure has gone down. He spends his days playing chess and drinking tea with the old men in the neighborhood. When he gets home, he and Mom bicker a bit, and we always video chat. I buy them anything they need and send it to them. When I'm not busy, I visit them.
Everyone at the firm is doing great. Your little assistant is now a capable lawyer, and she even found a boyfriend recently. Don't worry, your girlfriends have checked him out for her; he's someone she can trust. The firm ranked second in the country this year! Aren't you a little proud? Oh, by the way, my cousin got married. I had work commitments those days, but since you definitely wanted to go, I reluctantly went in your place. She even threw the bouquet at me, telling me to hurry up and find a girlfriend and get married. Look at you, even I'm worried for you! When are you going to marry me?
My parents are doing well too. My brother's child, our little niece, was born last month. She's tiny and incredibly cute; you'll love her at first sight. But she cries whenever I hold her. Am I that scary? Will our daughter be afraid of me? If she's afraid of me, I won't like her anymore; I'll only like her mother.
Almost all of my friends are married. Recently, two people are planning to have a wedding together and asked me to be their best man. Isn't that too much? I refused, but then they asked me to be the officiant, give a speech at the wedding, and host the whole ceremony. Aren't I amazing?
Oh, I forgot to tell you, Vivi has lost weight. You used to always say Vivi was fat, and he got upset. But after Vivi lost weight, he really did lose weight. You're not allowed to call him "oioi" anymore, and you're not allowed to say "I'm a pig-raising expert" either!
Vivi said he misses his mom, and everyone misses you.
Why don't you come to see us? Don't you see how we're doing? Don't you see if I've gotten even more handsome? I've been working out every day, I haven't gained any weight, and my selfie skills have improved too—I take better pictures than Baekhyun now! I'm not kidding, everyone says so. And you, haven't you become even prettier? You haven't gotten ugly, so you're afraid to come see me, have you? Otherwise, why don't you come to see me? Are you afraid I'll see you've gotten ugly and dislike you? No, really, I won't. You look good no matter what. Please come see me, just once, please come see me, I really miss you. I listened to you, I really quit smoking. At first, when I missed you so much, I'd still smoke a cigarette or two, but now I don't smoke a single one. I've given all the alcohol at home to my friends. Aren't I a good boy/girl? I don't drink a drop, and I go to bed early every day.
Why don't you come and see me? Let me see you, even if you don't say anything, just stand there and let me see you, okay? I really want to hug you. You can't be disgusted with me, I just miss you so much. (Sobbing) Are you laughing at me now? Laughing at a grown man like me crying like this? Don't laugh at me, I'm doing great. I've received so many good scripts, my schedule is packed, and my Chinese is excellent. My parents and I can communicate perfectly well.
You're not allowed to talk to other men over there, not to pay attention to other men, and not to be with other men. You have to wait for me patiently. After I finish everything you want to do, I'll come and be with you, okay? I'll take you to all the places you want to go, take pictures of each place, and then Photoshop you into them. It'll be like we went together. Don't think I'm being long-winded. I only come to see you once a year. If you miss me, come find me. If you want me to shut up and stop nagging, come find me too. Otherwise, I'll annoy you to death every time I come.
(cry)
I miss you so much.
I love you.
What are you filming?
"Let's take some pictures of our daily life."
We can take it out and watch it together when we're old.
