Forever and Ever
Episode 22
Something happened at home.
I have to go back and take a look.
Try to rest early today.
How's Wenxing?
She's recovering now.
She's in a terrible condition.
We have to schedule an operation for her as soon as possible.
Go.
Chen.
Leave this place.
It's a big world out there.
Go live your own life.
11
Shi Yi.
Go.
Chen.
Step out with me for a moment.
What's wrong, Ren?
Mother won't let outsiders into the guest room.
Lin Fei could do nothing.
I came to tell you
Shi Yi didn't feel well last night.
When did the doctor say she'd wake up?
In three or four hours.
That's how life is.
Sometimes
there are no clouds in the sky.
And sometimes,
many different things can pile on top of each other
until they're heavier than a mountain.
You have to take it easy.
I used to
think
I could
easily handle the relationship
between people,
whether it's a blood relationship,
business relationship,
or other social relationships.
But I find
I can't handle easily the things
related to Shi Yi.
When I first heard about it,
I couldn't even think.
I didn't dare to ask the doctor
what was going on.
I didn't dare to go in either
when I was at the door.
I was really afraid
something bad would happen to Shi Yi.
Didn't the doctor explain it?
It's appendicitis.
She will be fine.
Don't work yourself up.
I hope so.
It's true this house
is not a good place to live in.
It's not conducive for her recovery.
I'm here to take care of Wenxing.
Since it's not a good place to live,
just leave if you want to.
Zhousheng Chen.
You're awake?
It's acute appendicitis.
I was afraid the doctors there wouldn't be able to treat it.
So I brought you back to Shanghai.
No wonder it hurt so much.
Going back to Shanghai for acute appendicitis,
you're making a big deal out of it.
It's neither a life-threatening disease
nor an insignificant one.
Now that you're back,
let's not talk about it.
Just take your rest and get well soon.
Are you thirsty?
I just brought you some warm water.
I want to sit up.
Okay, come on.
Come closer to me.
I'm tired of talking loudly.
I had a dream.
I dreamed that I didn't lose my memory
after I died in my last life.
Did Meng Po let you go?
Maybe it's because I hadn't done anything bad.
Or it's because
I've done too many bad things.
So Meng Po
forced me to drink her soup.
You are a great person.
I'm a great person?
You know what I used to be like?
That's right.
I knew you in my past life.
Why don't you say something to refute me?
I don't want to.
There's nothing wrong with this assumption.
When I'm older,
I will turn to theology
as Newton did.
Because of me?
Because of you.
I would be such a guilt-ridden person.
Are you hungry?
I'll go make you something to eat.
Wait for me.

What are you doing?
Giving him a bath.
You're not working today?
I'm taking the day off.
Take the day off?
What for?
To take care of you.
I just have an appendicitis.
I haven't had an operation yet.
Are you hungry?
I'll make you breakfast.
Hello.
He goes shopping at the supermarket
every working day at 2pm,
Security Guard
goes back at 3:30.
This guy doesn't work.
He's probably unemployed.
What's this for?
This is for peeling walnuts.
He prepared them all.
So finely cut.
It tastes different.
I find your quality of life has obviously improved
after you got married.
What has improved?
I don't know.
The house is the same, the people are the same...
But the atmosphere is different.
It used to be a bachelorette pad,
now it's a home.
A sophisticated male host
brings about a quantum leap.
The taste of life is in the details.
The male host provides
those details.
So you
didn't eat fruit and snacks
when you lived together?
Yes, we did.
When I felt like eating them,
I would do so over here.
Shi Yi.
We haven't eaten fruit today.
I'll go to the kitchen
to get some fruit for her.
It seems my future life
is not going to be easy.
Accept your fate.
You're together now.
What can I say?
He chased me so earnestly.
Give him a chance.
We don't disturb him
talking like this, right?
I've installed soundproof walls in my study.
He can't hear us.
He'll be out at 6 pm sharp to make dinner.
He cooks?
What's the matter?
Nothing.
I just wanted to ask
if you're feeling
unwell at all?
Or if you have anything
you want to do,
something you want to eat,
or to drink?
If you need anything,
just tell me.
I'll make it for you.
Then I'll leave you to it.
You guys continue.
I'm going back to work.
Okay.
Surely he doesn't just work all day
taking care of you at home?
He took a leave of absence,
to look after me.
It's a long way to go.
I'll try. I'll try.
I don't want you two to see me off, but you don't listen to me!
Do we still have to pretend to be polite?
I'm not pretending to be polite with you.
I take a walk every night at 8.
Right on time.
When you didn't live here,
where did you go for walks?
In Bremen,
there was a green area under the apartment building.
In Xi'an
I could walk to the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda
and back to the institute.
There was also a school playground next to
the institute in Shanghai.
Kinda like my dad,
he could always find a place to fish.
A day for him never went to waste.
Life must follow some routines so as not to
waste a lot of time for no reason.
I've learnt that lesson.
Professor of chemistry, goodbye.
That's enough. You should go now.
Let's go.
-Bye-bye. -Bye-bye.
Let's go too.
Here, I've got some warm water for you.
You can go to the institute tomorrow.
I'm fine.
It's the same for me wherever I am.
Same job.
Same conference call.
It's not the same.
You can still work
at home 24 hours a day.
I can't do anything.
I always want to watch you.
Aren't you a dangerous beauty?
Nothing.
Sit here and don't move.
I'll do it.
Take a good rest.
What are you doing here alone?
I've been growing lotus roots all summer.
There's no one left to eat them.
Yes, it's a pity.
It's my fault.
It's your fault.
Do you think the appendicitis
could have been brought on by diet?
Lotus Fragrance Pavilion
I don't know.
If you're not satisfied with the food,
you'll be in a bad mood.
If you're in a bad mood, you'll get appendicitis.
Her getting the appendicitis
is still your fault.
Do you know how to talk properly?
I'm just
following your implication.
Do you want to go to Shanghai?
Chen told us earlier
not to disturb them.
Go or not, it's totally up to you.
Let's go.
Ren.
Where are you taking me?
We're going to find Chen.
Okay, okay.
Did you bring all of Grandma's medicine?
Yes.
Who are we waiting for?
You'll find out later.
How have you been?
Good.
Who's the girl?
This is Shi Yi's cousin.
Good, good.
Get in.
Grandma, let me help you.
Be careful.
Hello, Chen.
Chen.
Grandma.
Why are you here?
Come on in.
Ren said Shi Yi had appendicitis.
Grandma was worried about her and came to visit her.
I wanted to come and check on her too.
So we came together.
It wasn't my idea.
Grandma wants to see you.
I can't stop her.
Sit down first, Grandma.
Grandma's in a very stable condition
except that she can't recognize some people.
Be at peace.
Chen, where's Shi Yi?
She's washing up inside.
You guys sit down first.
I'll go get her.
Okay.
What are you looking at?
I'm looking at the crabs.
There are guests outside.
Who are they?
Grandma, Ren, Yuanyuan.
Liansui, Lin Fei.
They came together.
They came together?
How did Yuanyuan come here with them
together?
Isn't Grandma in poor health?
Is it okay for her to come here like this?
Well, she's here anyway.
Wait for me.
I'll get dressed.
Why do you live here
instead of in the new house?
There's a new house?
I thought you
didn't have any house in Shanghai.
Are you thirsty?
You think Chen would get married
totally unprepared?
That's hard to say.
Your family is very tricky.
Your families
won't even see
our families now.
-Though we don't live in the old society anymore, - Thank you.
you still have to
follow the basic etiquettes.
Forget it.
For the sake of Chen's honesty,
I won't say anything bad about him.
The worst could happen is that
I'll consider him to have married into our family.
Shi Yi can afford him anyway.
She could raise three of him.
Why didn't you tell me
you were coming in advance?
Shi Yi.
I'll book a hotel for you.
We're not staying in a hotel.
It's a waste of money.
And not safe either.
I want to stay with you.
I'll stay wherever you guys want me to.
But
we can't hold so many people in my apartment.
Then I'll stay here.
They are guests.
Let them stay in the hotel.
I'm not going anywhere.
I want to stay with you.
Why?
I want to live in the same apartment with you.
How about this?
Grandma, Liansui and Yuanyuan
take the bedroom.
You and Lin Fei will sleep on the couch.
Is that okay?
What about you and Chen?
You...you can stay in a hotel.
I saw it on the way here.
There's a hotel right next door.
You can't leave.
If they don't leave, should they sleep standing up?
Chen and I
can sleep on the floor in the study.
When I was a kid at my relatives' home on New Year's Eve,
there were many people and not enough beds.
We often slept on the floor.
Right, Yuanyuan?
I slept on the floor in my great-aunt's home
seven or eight times.
Shi Yi.
Can I see your bedroom?
Of course.
Turn on the TV for Grandma.
Bring them some cards.
You don't know how to entertain the relatives.
Come on, Grandma.
What do you want to watch?
Shi Yi, is this all yours?
I used to live with someone else.
The study was her bedroom.
That's why my desk is here.
So the Bund is outside your house.
Do you stand here and look out
every morning when you get up?
I don't think so.
I've lived here too long.
The view outside
has gotten old.
That's true.
Did you come up with the idea of coming over?
Did you miss us?
Yes.
My dad took me to my fourth great-uncle's place.
I had a hard time
coming up with numerous excuses
and finally came home early.
But you guys left.
Are you not going to
go back anymore?
Why not?
Of course we're going back.
Come out and watch a movie with us.
Let's go.
Here comes the fruit.
You guys go ahead and watch.
I have work to do.
Good boy, we're not scared.
I'll teach you.
At a time like this,
eating non-stop to distract yourself
works best.
Shi Yi, eat. Aren't you afraid of the dark?
I have more courage than you.
I'm not afraid when I'm in a group of people.
-You're too timid. -You scared me.
This child.
Don't scare my little grandson.
You dropped your chips.
This girl is your girlfriend, right?
Yes, she is.
She's so pretty.
There's a lot of competition, right?
There's
a whole lot of competition.
Look at you.
Good, good.
Miss.
My eldest grandson
is smart.
Smarter than the average person.
It's useless for a man to be good-looking.
Intelligence is the most important.
That way,
when you two have a child,
the child is going to have high IQ.
And when your child has a high IQ,
you don't have to worry about him
as a mother.
Yes.
Grandma obviously doesn't remember me.
But she praises me a lot every time she sees me.
You taught her?
That was all from her heart.
Grandma.
Good.
So filial. My grandson.
I'll take it.
Okay.
Grandma.
Go to bed.
It's the first time I've slept in the same room with you.
I'm not used to it.
It'll also be the last time.
Do you think I would like
to sleep in the same room with you?
What do you think you want?
You gave up a nice hotel
to sleep on the sofa.
It's fun.
Now you say it's fun.
You usually don't even let other people
sit in the same car with you.
Now you don't mind?
Your feet are facing my head.
Can you change the direction?
I don't want to.
Who wants to be so close to you?
Did you take a shower?
Of course I did.
I was the second to last to take it.
I don't want to stay close to you even if you did.
What's wrong? Did you not sleep well?
It was comfortable.
Comfortable?
Chen, you go to sleep.
We're all fine.
Really.
Then you guys get some rest.
You've reached the peak
of personally admiring him, right?
And Shi Yi.
Only Chen is worthy of her.
Grandma's asleep?
Yes.
Lian Sui.
They call you Lian Sui, Lian Sui.
Your last name is Lian?
My last name is Zhou.
You're all related?
That's right.
Some are close and some are distant.
I'm kind of distant,
like a hundred thousand miles away,
kind of relative.
Then what do you call Chen?
I should call him great-uncle.
Great-uncle?
I didn't ask him.
What about my cousin?
Great-aunt.
She is so
young and beautiful.
How can she be a 'great' anything to you?
I have no choice.
She is a senior anyway.
I'm going to sleep.
Go to sleep.
Good night.
Is the floor hard to sleep on?
It's okay.
Did the doctor say
I need an operation last time?
Do I have to have my appendix removed?
I chose a more conservative treatment,
taking some medication to reduce inflammation,
so you don't need an operation.
If it gets inflamed again,
we'll see then.
It's better not get inflamed again, it'll hurt like crazy.
Think about it.
I'm quite delicate.
Not only am I afraid of the dark, but I'm also afraid of pain.
Do you think I'm delicate?
No, I don't.
Really?
But think about it.
I seem to have more advantages.
I can cook.
I can clean the house.
I can draw.
I can write.
I can also do dubbing.
Yes, you have a lot of good points.
♫In the memory♫
♫The snow-covered city tower♫
Why did you come down?
I want to sleep with you in my arms.
♫When your name rings out♫
All right.
♫Finally blooming again♫
♫Like a flower of the soul♫
♫The dreams that have accompanied me through the light years♫
Zhousheng Chen.
♫I know that with just one look♫
I love you.
♫I can be sure it's the end♫
♫Not afraid of falling♫
Did you hear me?
♫Running to the world with you♫
♫The poem I'll continue to write♫
November,
let's get married.
♫With your name in each line♫
We'll hold an official wedding reception.
♫If it started all over again♫
I'm asking you to answer I love you.
♫I'd still remember our love♫
Who asked you about the wedding?
That's my answer.
♫It took♫
♫Hundreds of centuries♫
♫For our love to begin♫
Good night.
♫There's no way it'd end♫
Here, eat it while it's warm.
I make the best meatloaf.
Chen always eats several pieces.
It's really good.
I'm not lying, right?
Shi Yi.
Can I come and stay with you
on vacation?
Yes, you can.
But you have to put your studies first.
If you do well in your exams, you can stay for a few days.
If you don't do well, you won't get to stay as long.
If you have kids,
can I still come and stay here?
Of course.
Then I hope you'll have a girl.
Is there a difference if it's a boy or a girl?
There is.
If you have another boy,
I'll not be so novel to you anymore.
Rare things are precious.
We haven't even had a baby yet,
and you're already jealous.
All right, get out of here.
There's a lot of oil here.
Ren.
Let's go play cards.
I'm not going.
Then what are you doing?
Waiting to serve Shi Yi.
There are several plates. She can't carry them all.
Sir.
Sir, only one meat dish?
You should at least have two meat dishes.
There aren't any meat dishes
I'd especially like to eat today.
Sir.
You now live in Shi Yi's house
before marriage, right?
Yes.
Is it convenient?
It's quite convenient.
It's very close to the institute.
Then...
What did you do
with your salary all these years?
Why are you asking this all of a sudden?
No, I'm just curious.
Sometimes the lab
needs to buy some things.
Since the budget can't be approved in a short notice,
I often
buy them myself first.
Sir.
If the lab needs something in the future,
tell me.
I'll buy it.
No need.
I bought it for you, sir.
Sir, you have to take a tonic.
We don't like it. You have it.
It's all yours.
An old troublemaker,
and a young troublemaker...
you're taking them both off our hands.
I'm so impressed.
Don't blame Liansui.
I'm the one who brought them out here.
You dare to speak?
Your father was so angry yesterday.
You're his heart and soul.
You know that, don't you?
We were all scolded mercilessly.
Shi Yi, Chen I'm leaving now.
Bye, Grandma.
Bye. Bye.
Grandma.
Take care of yourself at home.
We will visit you often when we have time.
Good, good.
Chen.
You must visit me when you have time.
I will.
Don't forget.
Be safe.
Take care.
Go back. Go back.
We're leaving.
Okay.
When we move in the new house after New Year,
let Grandma live here in Shanghai
if you don't want to leave her alone.
It's a big house anyway.
Grandma doesn't want to leave the old house.
That's how older people think.
I suggest to my grandparents that they
come to Shanghai for medical checkups every year.
I've tried to persuade them,
but they won't listen to me.
This weekend,
my fourth great-uncle and my uncles
will all be in Shanghai.
Let's go back to our old house on Hunan Road
for a couple of days.
Okay.
So this is a formal
parents' meeting?
Shi Yi.
I think this style of decoration
is the kind you like.
Basically, I'm in charge of
the later decoration.
You're not even the hostess yet
but you're already taking charge, aren't you?
See, you were afraid
our daughter would suffer here.
You're making it a big deal.
Uncle, Auntie.
This is my fourth great-uncle.
He is the most senior in our family.
These are my uncles.
Fourth Great-Uncle.
This is Shi Yi's mom and dad.
-How are you? How are you? -Nice to meet you.
Welcome. Welcome.
Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.
Welcome. Welcome. Welcome.
We're in-laws now.
If there is anything not to your liking,
please forgive us.
Not at all!
Take a seat first.
Let's all sit down.
Come on, let's all sit down.
Take a seat.
Shi Yi, make some tea.
Come on.
You've come all this way.
As a rule,
we should have gone to see you first.
We've made you
come all the way to Shanghai.
It must be tiring.
It's nothing.
Son.
You should be clear about
Wenxing's current situation.
Dad.
I'm sure everything will be fine with
Wenxing's operation this time.
And
I want to tell you that
I was always out in the world,
not being able to settle down.
But recently I've realized
that actually,
the person I should cherish most
is right here by my side.
So don't worry.
I understand.
