00:00He was clearly just a guy living paycheck to paycheck, yet he dared to walk into a high-end
00:04men's fashion store. Not only that, but he also began to meticulously examine the suits in the
00:09store with a surprising expertise. The back could be shortened a bit, and the sleeves let out a
00:14little more. Wow, you look so handsome in a suit. His wife couldn't believe her eyes. That high-end
00:20suit fit her husband so perfectly. He wanted to buy it, but when she saw the price, his wife
00:25exclaimed, $2,400? Are you crazy? Let's go. That's enough money to buy shoes for our daughter.
00:32His wife felt it was incredibly strange. Her husband was usually frugal and careful. Yet today,
00:38he was suddenly so extravagant. Little did she know, the man in front of her was not actually
00:42her husband. A few weeks ago, Jack was still a financial tycoon, with a net worth of billions
00:48of dollars. Every day, he wore tailor-made suits and drove to work in a luxury car. Surrounding
00:53him were not only enviable assets, but also countless beautiful women. However, all of that
00:59changed in a flash on Christmas Eve. He happened to stop by a convenience store, and right after,
01:04a homeless man named Cash walked in. Cash bought a lottery ticket and won $238, but the clerk didn't
01:10even bother to look, insisting that he had altered the numbers. And then, the unexpected happened.
01:15Good heavens, you idiot. Take a good look and see if I altered the numbers. Jack didn't hesitate
01:20to stand up for Cash, saying he was willing to buy the suspicious ticket himself. This offer
01:25immediately calmed Cash's anger. All right, Jack. Let's go. The strange thing was, this Cash knew his
01:31name. At the door, Jack said he could help Cash find his steady job, but the man asked Jack in
01:36return if he needed his help. This left Jack dumbfounded. As a billionaire, his life seemed
01:41perfect. He never thought he would ever need help from a homeless man. But Cash laughed loudly.
01:46This is going to be very interesting. You brought this on yourself, Jack. Jack had no idea what Cash
01:51was talking about, and he could never have imagined that this seemingly ordinary man would completely
01:56change his life. Returning home, Jack tiredly fell asleep, as usual. But when he woke up the next
02:02morning, he found himself in a strange bed, next to his first love from 13 years ago. What shocked
02:08him even more was that two children were calling him dad. Wake up, daddy, it's Christmas. Jack felt like
02:13he was still dreaming. He hurriedly got dressed and went outside. The scene before him was
02:18astonishing. The bustling city had become a small town, and his luxury sports car had turned into a
02:23minivan. He drove like a madman, finally reaching his familiar building, but the security guard coldly
02:29stopped him. His neighbor also looked at him with the eyes of a stranger, as if they had never met Jack
02:34before. What the hell is going on? Is this some Christmas joke? Have you forgotten all the times we
02:40flirted? The guard warned Jack not to cause trouble, or he would call the police. Helpless, Jack turned
02:45to go to his company, only to discover that the management there didn't recognize him either.
02:50Even the position of CEO of the company had been replaced. At this moment, Jack was completely
02:55engulfed in fear and confusion, when a Ferrari sped towards him, nearly hitting him. He looked closely,
03:01the driver was Cash, the man he had met last night, and this Ferrari was originally his car.
03:06That's my car. Hello, Jack, you're stealing my car. Cash gave a meaningful smile. He told Jack that
03:12no one is perfect, and no one can have it all. He wanted Jack to experience a different life,
03:18one where he could find the things he had lost. It turned out that the brilliant success Jack
03:22enjoyed today all stemmed from a crucial decision 13 years ago. Back then, the young Jack, wanting to
03:28seek better development, decided to leave his first love, Kate. He planned to return and make it up to
03:33her after succeeding in his career. However, 13 years had passed. Jack had achieved his dream of
03:39becoming the richest man in New York City, but on that long and glorious journey, he had long
03:44forgotten about Kate. Cash handed him a bell. If I ring the bell, will you come? Get out of the car,
03:49Jack. After Jack got out, Cash mysteriously disappeared. With no other choice, Jack could
03:55only place his hope in the map in his hand and drive back to that small town. But he couldn't remember
04:00which house it was, so he decided to stop and ask for directions. Coincidentally, the person he asked
04:05was his best friend in the world. Jack is back. You're here, stranger? Where have you been? In his
04:10friend's eyes, Jack was a winner in life. He lived in a spacious and comfortable four-bedroom house,
04:15had two lovely children, and an admirable wife. Then, his friend took Jack back to the small house.
04:21Seeing Jack return, Kate emotionally threw her arms around him. It turned out that to find Jack,
04:26Kate had contacted everyone who might know his whereabouts, and was even worried enough to want
04:31to report him missing to the police, fearing something bad had happened. At this moment,
04:36Jack felt an unprecedented sense of care and warmth. However, Jack still wanted to explain to
04:41Kate the cause and everything that had happened. Seeing it had no effect, Jack took out the bell
04:46Cash had given him. The clear ringing of the bell delighted his daughter, who hopefully thought
04:50it was her new toy. Jack had to temporarily accept this misunderstanding. Later, Kate reminded Jack that
04:56there was a Christmas party that night. Jack opened the wardrobe to choose a suitable outfit,
05:00but couldn't help but frown. It was full of cheap clothes, clearly not suitable for the party's
05:05atmosphere. At that moment, his daughter accidentally saw Jack and immediately turned and ran away.
05:11In her heart, she knew very well that this man was not her real father. As night fell, Jack also
05:16entered the party. A graceful woman meticulously adjusted his clothes for him, her gestures exuding
05:22affection. The party atmosphere gradually heated up. When Jack looked towards Kate, a long absent
05:28warmth quietly rose in his heart. Because for the past 13 years, Jack had always spent Christmas
05:33alone. As the noise of the party faded, Jack returned to the cozy home. Kate had prepared a
05:38comfortable set of pajamas for him. At this moment, he truly felt the warmth of family. Kate gently
05:44entered the room, turned on some music, the children had fallen asleep. They had some precious
05:49private time. Jack suddenly realized that even though 13 years had passed, Kate was still as
05:54beautiful as ever, unchanged. Faced with her husband's unexpected praise, Kate, though a little
06:00surprised, felt an indescribable joy welling up inside her. She quietly went into the bathroom,
06:06hoping to give Jack a surprise with a new look. But when she hopefully stepped out of the bathroom,
06:11she found Jack fast asleep. Kate didn't wake him, just gently tucked him in and gave him an
06:16affectionate goodnight kiss. The rare private time ended just like that. In fact, Jack did it on
06:21purpose because he was experiencing an unprecedented turmoil of complex emotions in his heart.
06:27Waking up the next morning, Jack saw the other side of the bed was empty. He thought everything
06:31was over, but the cry of his young son quickly pulled him back to reality. He clumsily changed his
06:37son's diaper. That clumsy action made his daughter look at him with astonished eyes.
06:41You're not my daddy, are you? That's right, I'm not. Faced with his daughter's suspicion,
06:46Jack chose to be honest. He told her about his confusion and helplessness, and his daughter,
06:51with the innocent mind of a child, thought Jack was an alien. Promise me you won't kidnap me and my
06:56brother. Don't implant chips in our brains. In this wondrous misunderstanding, the two,
07:02father and daughter, formed an indescribable bond. His daughter naturally became Jack's second friend
07:08in this world. Under his daughter's guidance, Jack began to adapt to his new daily life. He took his
07:13young son to daycare, and then his daughter to winter camp. From his daughter, Jack learned that
07:18he was a salesman at a tire shop, working eight hours a day. On his desk were hung many family
07:23photos. In those photos, he smiled as radiantly as the sun, warming people's hearts. He didn't
07:29understand why he could smile so care freely. In 1988, Jack was honored with the Best Employee Award.
07:35He recalled the other world. At that time, he was still striving in London. It turned out that in
07:40this world, Jack's life trajectory was completely different. He did not choose to leave Kate,
07:45but walked down the aisle with her. Faced with all this, Jack felt extremely confused.
07:50Why did the him in this world choose to waste his talent here, instead of striving for a career like
07:55in the other world? He silently prayed that perhaps this was all just a whimsical dream,
08:00and that one day when he woke up, everything would return to normal. But day after day,
08:05a whole month passed, and this dream had not ended. That day, the family went shopping together.
08:10Jack was unconsciously drawn to a high-end men's fashion store. Stepping inside, he began to try
08:16on elegant suits. When he put on these familiar clothes, he felt like he had found himself again.
08:21Kate also followed him in. Seeing her husband in a luxurious suit, she couldn't help but exclaim
08:26and admiration. You look so dapper. I want to buy it. $2,400? Are you crazy? Let's go. That's
08:33enough money to buy shoes for our daughter. Her shoes are only $25. We need to be mindful of our
08:39family budget. Kate advised Jack to take off the suit and promise to make it up to him with a
08:44delicious pastry. No way. This life is terrible. I get my face licked by a dog first thing in the
08:49morning, then I have to drive the kids around and sell tires for 8 hours. I'm sick of this tedious
08:54daily life. I don't want to repeat these meaningless tasks anymore. Who are you? Okay,
08:59I'm sorry. I used to be a good husband, but now I'm a jerk. Because I'm really not the man you
09:04married. Maybe you're right. The Jack I married doesn't need expensive suits to feel good about
09:08his life. If you really need it, then buy it. Just take the money from our daughter's education fund.
09:14In the end, Jack still took off the suit and accepted Kate's offer of a pastry. On the way home,
09:19Kate couldn't hide her tears of disappointment. And it was at this moment that Jack learned that the
09:24reason the family chose to live in the countryside was because Kate had an unplanned pregnancy and at
09:29the same time, his father was suffering from a serious heart condition. To be with Kate, the Jack
09:34of this world had bravely shouldered all responsibilities in exchange for the stable life
09:39they had now. Kate felt very content and satisfied with this, but Jack's mood remained heavy. To vent
09:45his emotions, Jack went to the bowling alley and again met that charming woman. Based on their
09:50previous encounter, Jack asked the woman if there was something between them. The woman, frankly said
09:55that she had deliberately worn a sexy dress on Christmas to attract Jack's attention. She also
10:00revealed that she had bought six run-flat tires and that her child was in the same dance class as
10:04Jack's daughter. All of this was to get closer to Jack. After saying this, she invited Jack to her
10:10house for the weekend. Hearing this, Jack couldn't help but smile. It turned out that he also had a special
10:15charm in this world. So, he asked his best friend for the woman's address. But unexpectedly, his
10:21friend scolded him. You know, in our town, there's no one who isn't crazy about Kate. She's so wonderful
10:27and you don't know how to cherish her. Jack didn't understand why his friend was so angry until he
10:32returned home and saw a videotape. Curious, he pressed play. On the tape was the precious footage of him
10:37proposing to Kate. That day was also Kate's birthday. He had meticulously planned it, inviting everyone in
10:43town to witness the moment, singing romantic love songs, creating an incredibly warm atmosphere.
10:49Watching the images on the tape, Jack couldn't help but tear up. All of this should have happened in his
10:54world. But he himself had thrown away the most important person, letting happiness slip through his
11:00fingers. Sitting in the empty living room, Jack was lost in thought. The next day, Jack's attitude towards
11:06his current life had changed. He began to enjoy the moment of being woken up by the dog every morning, then
11:11sleepily warming milk for his child. When he finished his chores and returned to the bedroom,
11:16he saw Kate had been waiting for a long time, holding a large gift box. He opened it to find a
11:21carefully arranged designer suit inside. Although it was just a replica, when Jack put it on, he still
11:27looked very dashing. It turned out today was their wedding anniversary. Kate closed her eyes, full of
11:32anticipation for a gift from Jack. But Jack knew nothing of this, so he was dumbfounded. You used to not
11:37even be able to wait for morning. I forgot. I forgot our wedding anniversary. I'll make it up to you.
11:43I'll go buy a gift right now. Kate's expression changed from anticipation to disappointment.
11:48Seeing Kate sad, Jack felt a pang in his heart. Suddenly, he had a great idea to take Kate into
11:54the city for a treat. Finally got the hint. It was a place familiar to him, but for Kate, it was a place
11:59she had always dreamed of but never set foot in. Jack skillfully ordered food, and then they danced
12:05together to the melodious sound of the piano. All fatigue and sorrow vanished at this moment.
12:10After the dance, Jack gently asked Kate if she had ever thought about what their lives would be like
12:15now if they hadn't gotten together back then. I have thought about it. I have. I'd wonder what if
12:20I hadn't married you. But then it would mean erasing the most important things. You and our children.
12:25All these good things. What about you? I'm sure that I want us to be together forever.
12:30Hearing this, Kate smiled. For the past few days, Jack had been a bit unusual,
12:34but his love for her had not changed at all. The two were like a couple deeply in love,
12:39spending a romantic night together at a hotel. From then on, Jack's worldview quietly changed.
12:45The trivial things in life that used to give him a headache, such as the occasional out-of-tune
12:49notes when his daughter practiced the violin, now became a warm melody in his heart. He was no
12:54longer immersed in the vanity of designer suits, but learned to find happiness and contentment in
12:59the simple moments with his family. Every day before going to work, he would hug his wife tightly.
13:04This kiss was like the morning dew, giving him an endless source of energy and warmth for a new
13:09day. And it seemed that fate had also quietly opened a new path for Jack. On an ordinary day,
13:15he happened to meet the boss of his company from the other world. The boss's car had a flat tire.
13:20He quickly seized the opportunity to approach him. He had a clear understanding of the company's
13:24operations and the boss's personality, so he could accurately point out the company's current
13:29problems as well as its future direction and investment potential. The professionalism and
13:34precision exuded from his words and gestures quickly won the boss's favor and appreciation.
13:39The boss immediately decided to bring him to the company for an interview. There, Jack
13:44unexpectedly met his old subordinate, who was now in his position. As a former financial tycoon,
13:50with his extraordinary talent and charisma, Jack quickly won over both of them.
13:54I can handle this job. Absolutely, give me a chance. I won't let you down, Alan.
13:59But the old subordinate felt threatened, his words revealing a poorly concealed hostility.
14:04I had to work very hard to get this position. Don't think a lowly tire salesman like you can win
14:09with some trickery. But if you know what's good for you, stay away from the boss. When he gets tired
14:13of you, I'll consider keeping you around. Understand. Alan, you've really changed. I mean,
14:18you're not so simple. I really have to see you in a new light. Despite this,
14:22Jack still got the job smoothly. The company even generously provided him with a place to live.
14:28When Kate stepped into this magnificent mansion, she felt as if she had entered an art palace.
14:33Jack explained his new job to his wife, promising they would have a prosperous life.
14:37But surprisingly, Kate did not seem overly happy. She feared that this excessive material enjoyment
14:42would erode their spiritual world, causing their souls to be bound by money and material things.
14:48In fact, Kate's desires were very simple. She did not wish for wealth and prosperity,
14:53only for Jack to always be by her side. Jack felt confused by Kate's reaction. In his view,
14:59they had found the golden key to open the door to success. But Kate seemed to want to lock that
15:03door tightly. Don't change jobs on your own without discussing it with me. Don't make our
15:08daughter leave the school she loves. Don't make us move out of this cozy home. We can finally live a
15:13life that everyone will be jealous of. Oh, Jack, everyone is already so jealous of us.
15:18Jack couldn't help but wonder why, when the door to success opened, Kate chose to hesitate. Just then,
15:24Jack accidentally discovered a plane ticket. It turned out that the Jack of this world had also
15:28once taken a flight away from Kate, but had returned the next day. Kate still remembered that
15:33moment vividly. Jack's eyes were full of determination as he told her he had decided to stay. And it was that
15:39determination that made Kate willing to sacrifice everything for Jack, even if it meant giving up
15:44important things. Listen, Jack, if you really want that job, I'll take the kids out of the environment
15:49they love, away from this only home. Wherever you want to move, I'll move with you. I do this because
15:55I love you. In the end, Kate gave Jack full authority to decide. The next morning, when Kate woke up,
16:00she saw Jack happily playing with their daughter. At that moment, Kate had the answer in her heart.
16:06She understood Jack's choice. However, fate is always full of unpredictable turns. Jack had found
16:12everything he had lost in this world, but that happiness was as fleeting as a shooting star in
16:17the night sky. A sudden bell rang, making Jack's heart clench. He seemed to have a premonition of
16:23the misfortune to come. Sure enough, when he went to the supermarket to buy things, that mysterious
16:27cash appeared again. What are you doing here? Cash said nothing, just busied himself finding change
16:33for a customer. But this time, he deliberately gave back an extra bill. The girl noticed this,
16:38but chose to remain silent. It wasn't until she left the store that a look of unconcealable
16:43disappointment appeared on Cash's face. Jack shouted that he didn't want to go back, but Cash seemed
16:48not to hear him. The glimpse was just temporary, Jack. Helpless, Jack had to turn and leave.
16:53Arriving home, Jack gently stroked his son's hair and then kissed his daughter's forehead goodnight.
16:58Although he had only stayed in this world for a few months, everything here was deeply engraved
17:03in his heart. Remember me, Kate. Remember how I look right now. Remember it in your heart.
17:09No matter what, don't forget. Promise me. Otherwise it'll be like I was never here.
17:13I promise. Jack stepped out of the house into the heavily falling snow. He wished all of this
17:19could last forever, even if it was just a beautiful dream. Returning inside, Kate was already sound
17:24asleep. Jack sat alone on the sofa, trying to use his strong will to fight off the encroaching
17:29drowsiness. But the sleepiness came in like a tide, and in the end, Jack couldn't resist it,
17:35slowly closing his eyes. When Jack woke up, he found himself back in his familiar world.
17:41Kate was no longer beside him, nor was there the laughter of children. The room was empty.
17:46It was still Christmas. Everything before had really been like a dream. With a sense of longing and
17:51regret for all that he had lost, Jack drove to the house that was once filled with warmth.
17:55But when he arrived, he saw a strange face. The Kate he knew did not live here. On his way back,
18:01Jack's phone suddenly rang. It was a call from the company, pulling him out of his personal thoughts.
18:07Helpless, he had to return to the company to handle work. Jack was no longer full of energy as before,
18:12but instead was utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally. However, Jack did not give up his
18:18determination to find Kate. He used his extensive connections. After some effort, he finally found
18:23Kate's current address. With a heart full of nervousness and anticipation, he sought out the
18:28girl he had been thinking of day and night. In this world, Kate had become an excellent lawyer and had
18:34her own law firm. But regrettably, she was about to move to Paris with her company. When Jack learned
18:39that Kate was still single, he couldn't help but feel a secret joy. He mustered up the courage to ask
18:44Kate for coffee, but Kate didn't directly answer his invitation. Instead, she took out a box herself,
18:50inside which were things she had kept for Jack for so many years. Now, she felt it was time to
18:55return these items to their owner. Looking at the items before him, Jack felt his heart in turmoil.
19:00He tried to hold on to Kate. Do you ever think about us? What if we hadn't broken up? This sudden
19:05question surprised Kate a little. After a moment of silence, she politely declined Jack's invitation.
19:10Jack, when I get to Paris, I'll treat you to coffee. Hearing Kate's reply, Jack felt a sense of
19:16loss, but he also understood that forcing the issue was not the way. Perhaps, letting go was the best
19:22choice. Returning home, Jack rummaged through the box and took out a bottle of perfume. Its familiar
19:27and gentle scent seemed to have a magic that pulled his thoughts back 13 years to the beautiful time with
19:33Kate. And those precious photos, each one like a mark of time, made Jack recall every moment
19:39together in college. At this moment, he decided to let go of everything, and no matter what,
19:44he had to try one more time. He floored the gas pedal, rushing to the airport at top speed,
19:49his heart never so determined. And God once again smiled upon him. At the very last moment before
19:54Kate entered the boarding lounge. Kate, we have a house in New Jersey. We have two kids, Annie and
20:00Josh. That house is a bit messy, but it's very cozy, and we love each other very much. We've been
20:06married for 13 years, and we're still as passionate as we were at the beginning. I sang to you, not
20:11every day, but I sang on important occasions. We also sacrificed a lot, but we got through it
20:16together, and being with you made me a better man. Maybe it was just a dream, maybe it was a
20:21phantom in the lonely night, but I swear, it felt so real. If you get on this plane, it will all
20:26disappear forever. We'll go our separate ways, but I know I want us to be together for life.
20:31I want us to be together. Perhaps Jack's dreamlike story had awakened the beautiful memories buried
20:37deep in Kate's heart. Or perhaps the pieces of life he unintentionally revealed happened to match
20:42the ideal picture of life Kate had once painted in her own heart. Until this moment, Kate seemed to
20:48awaken. She realized that the reason she had chosen to live alone for so many years was perhaps because
20:53deep down, she could never forget that pure love and was still silently cherishing it. After 13 years,
20:59the life trajectories of the two once again intersected unexpectedly. No one knows if they
21:04will end up together. But one thing is certain, life has no what-ifs, and there is no going back.
21:10Every choice we make at crucial moments can lead us to completely different futures.
21:14And you, do you long for a life of power or a simple life? Do you want to build a great career
21:19or have a wife and children around you? The reality is, we can only choose one and then forever admire
21:25the other life. Therefore, cherishing and holding on to what we have is what we should persist in the
21:30most. As Jack and Kate said in the movie, I want us to be together. Today's story ends here.
21:36Thank you for watching. What did you think of this movie? Let us know in the comments below.
