Quotes from Episode 1 of 《浴女图》"The Enchanted"

《浴女图》("The Enchanted") is a new drama serial that started airing on Channel 8 from 15 August 2013, every Mondays to Fridays, at 7.00 pm. 

Five good friends, Qian Jiayi, Chen Jingli, Liang Lulu, Qi Mingxing and Bai Xuena met an eccentric man while having a vacation together. This man (whom we knew later from episode 2 that he was a famous artist Zhou Yilin) was inspired by them and painted the “Beauties in Bath” (《浴女图》). 

Chen Jingli caught him drawing them and chased him to his place. They started talking and this was what Zhou Yilin said to her which I thought was something interesting.

“人与人之间,有兴致偶尔在街上手拉着散步,就叫‘激情’。这手一拉能拉上十年,勉强叫‘感情’。如果拉上二十年就叫‘亲情’。可以拉上一辈子,这才叫做‘爱情’。”

This was translated as:

"When two persons occasionally hold hands in the streets, we call it 'passion'. If they hold hands for 10 years, we call it 'relationship'. If they hold hands for 20 years, we call it 'family bond'. If they hold hands for a lifetime, we call it 'love'."
