[Episode 30]
[Years, following years, steal something every day. At last they steal us from ourselves away. — Horace]
Hello.
Stop it.
You were in Sanya yesterday.
how could you be at my house today?
You're ringing the doorbell?
Do you even know where I live?
Ring it then.
Don't…
Dad, I'll get it.
I'll get it, Dad.
Dad.
My…
My package.
You go on with your thing.
Miss Teng Xiao Xiao.
I'm the owner of the Aerospace Express company.
My name is Li Da Qi.
During the Spring Festival,
our employees are not working,
so I'm here to deliver your package in person.
Mine?
Yours.
You need to sign.
Here.
Okay.
Thank you. Happy New Year.
Happy New Year.
Hey, gorgeous.
May I have your phone number?
Your phone number.
What number are you asking for?
[Embracing the coming of spring with a smile]
Why did you ask for the phone number?
Duan Chong?
I gave you 200 yuan to help me.
But now you are going way too far.
What's happening? Why are you here?
Hold on.
Why did you do that?
Do you know where you are now?
Where?
Do you know where you are now?
Where?
This is my place.
Alright, alright.
What are you doing?
Wait, what are you doing?
Wait a second.
How do you know that I live here?
Do you know what this is?
It's 500 yuan.
Take it
and get out of here, okay?
You are the boss.
Thanks, boss.
Mr. Boss, Mrs. Boss…
Go away.
-May you two live a happy life. -Hurry up and leave.
May you two live a happy life.
What's wrong with you?
Give me a kiss.
How do you know…
Wait…
How do you know where I live?
Hold on.
My parents are inside.
What are you doing?
I know.
Don't worry.
What are you doing?
Do you miss me?
Why does it take so long to fetch a package?
[Welcoming the coming of spring with a smile]
Auntie.
Happy New Year.
Do you have dumplings?
Your auntie is serving more dishes.
Okay.
Let's have some tea first.
This tea is pretty good.
It's the West Lake Longjing tea.
Good for you!
My dad likes tea, too.
Uncle.
Okay.
And this.
Okay.
You're here.
Is this all?
Hmm…
[A happy family will prosper] I need to apologize.
I…
I'm Xiao Xiao's boyfriend.
We met in Beijing last time.
Please forgive me for this visit
without notice.
Alright.
You see…
Today, your auntie
cooked so many dishes especially for you.
What we have on the table is her best.
Make sure to taste everything carefully.
Thank you, auntie.
Not especially for him.
I didn't know he was coming.
Well.
Mom.
It's not his fault.
It's my fault.
I kept saying that I missed him.
That's why he came.
It's my fault.
I asked him to come.
Xiao Xiao.
You shouldn't lie in front of your elders.
Do you know?
It's because I missed you
that I came to see you without notice.
Sorry for the trouble.
It's my fault.
It's my fault. I missed you.
It's because I missed you.
I really missed you.
I missed you.
I missed you so much.
I missed you.
I missed you so much that…
Xiao Xiao.
What are you saying?
Is your mom
an unreasonable person?
It's unfair to say that.
Stop it.
Duan is already here.
Let's eat.
Yes, auntie.
Otherwise, the food will get cold.
Okay.
Come on. Let's eat.
Let's eat.
Duan.
Thank you for the wine you gave me last time.
My pleasure, uncle.
We're used to
drinking Shaoxing Wine here.
Can you drink it?
Yes, I can.
Let's have a few drinks today.
Of course.
Alright.
Cheers.
Uncle, this one is to you.
Let's drink together.
Dad. Mom.
Have a drink.
Duan, welcome.
Hmm…
Happy New Year.
Auntie.
How do you like it?
It's good.
Alright, I'll pour more wine for you.
Uncle.
Can you drink that much?
I can. No worries.
Let me tell you.
This fried crab
is a famous dish here.
The fried crab your auntie makes
tastes
even better than that served in restaurants.
If you don't believe me, let Xiao Xiao
take you to
a famous classic restaurant here
to have a taste.
It won't be as good as this.
That's a foregone conclusion.
Dad, here you go.
Okay.
Give this piece to Duan.
Thank you, uncle.
Can you eat crabs
and drink at the same time?
It's fine.
I can.
Auntie cooked it especially for me.
How can I not have some,
right?
Let me try it.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Don't have too much.
How does it taste?
It's so good.
The taste is super authentic.
Xiao Xiao, you're blessed,
you know?
All the dishes auntie makes
are amazing in terms of color, aroma and taste.
Right?
And auntie,
after we met last time in Beijing,
you look even younger.
How did you do that?
Please tell me.
I'll go to tell my mom later.
In my opinion, uncle
and auntie are a perfect match.
That's why Xiao Xiao is such a great girl,
right?
My luck is out of this world.
Come on.
You really know how to talk.
Hurry up and eat.
Come on.
This is too good.
Auntie, how did you make it?
Whatever you like,
have more of it.
I'll get some for you.
Here you are.
One piece of this.
Thank you, auntie.
I'll go get some drinks.
Don't drink too much.
Be quick.
Eat more.
Mom, where are the drinks?
In the hallway.
Okay.
Duan.
Here, have some shrimp.
Thanks, auntie.
Have some more.
Thank you, uncle.
Don't just focus on me.
You should eat too.
Sure. Here.
Push it in.
Eat more.
Thank you, auntie.
Have more vegetables.
I'm telling you.
Young people don't eat enough vegetables.
Here.
Okay.
-You go ahead. -Eat more.
-Okay. -Here you go.
Duan.
Why is your face so red?
It's the influence of wine.
Excuse me, uncle.
Are you allergic to alcohol?
What's wrong?
You are not feeling well?
Well.
What…
He has asthma.
It must be something that he ate.
We didn't know.
Don't panic.
Mom.
Go
boil some water.
Dad. Open the window
and get a pillow.
Get a pillow.
Do we need to call 120? [*120 is the Chinese hot line for an ambulance]
No need to go to the hospital.
Go get the stuff.
I have the inhaler.
Hold on.
Here.
Water's here.
Here you go.
Xiao Xiao.
Let him drink some water.
Thank you, auntie.
How do you feel?
It's all my fault.
Feeling better?
Look at what you did.
Are you crazy?
Don't you know what you can eat
and what you can't eat?
I asked you whether you can
eat seafood.
You said yes.
Look at what happened.
And you drank.
Why don't you bring an inhaler with you?
What if I weren't here?
Don't you know
you can't have seafood?
It's happening again.
It's not that.
Are you feeling better?
No, I feel horrible.
So horrible.
Have some water.
No.
You…
How about you try to call me "hubby"?
Maybe I'll feel better.
Hurry, if you don't…
You've recovered, haven't you?
No.
Duan.
It's the Spring Festival now
and it's so late already.
Why don't you stay and sleep here?
Okay.
I've changed
the sheets
for you.
Thank you, auntie.
I appreciate it.
This room isn't cold.
The radiator is on.
I sleep here sometimes.
Really?
Then I'll have to try it out.
It's just a little short.
It's not.
Xiao Xiao.
Why don't
you sleep here for one night
and let Duan sleep in your room?
Sure.
No need, auntie.
It's fine, really.
This bed…
No. This sofa is just right.
I'll show you.
See?
My legs go here
and my head goes here.
See?
Just right.
It's a little short.
This won't do.
You didn't even stretch your legs.
Xiao Xiao.
Let Duan sleep in your room and you sleep here.
It's really alright, auntie.
I've already caused enough trouble
by coming here without notice today.
I'll be fine sleeping here.
Right, Xiao Xiao?
Right?
It's no trouble.
Mom.
Dad, stop doing chores.
Go to sleep.
Go to bed early.
We're going to sleep then.
Go to bed early.
He'll be fine.
It's fine.
See you tomorrow.
We'll leave you alone then.
Good night, uncle.
What?
Hmm…
Don't talk in secret.
Duan.
Keep…
Keep your inhaler within your reach.
Be careful at night…
Don't worry.
Go to sleep.
Get some rest.
Good night, auntie.
Okay.
Sleep tight.
Look at the future mother-in-law,
eh?
So nice.
So thoughtful.
Alright. Get some sleep.
I will.
Do you need me to stay with you?
Is it safe for you to sleep alone?
It's safe.
If you're scared,
just call me.
[An exercise book of high school math]
This won't work either.
I…
What are you doing?
Going to the bathroom.
I wanted to ask where the bathroom is.
It's over there.
Over there?
OK. I'm going to the bathroom then.
Well.
Actually, I wanted to ask
why you have my inhaler?
You…
You care about me a lot, don't you?
You
knew I was coming, didn't you?
Stop it.
My parents are right there.
What are you doing?
I know.
Don't talk.
Don't make any sound.
Stop.
What does this mean?
Go to sleep.
Okay.
Good night.
Love you.
Remember to call me.
Good night.
Go to sleep.
Pretty good.
Good night.
You're awake?
Why did I fall asleep again?
Hungry?
I'll go get you something to eat.
I'll be back soon.
Auntie.
Go in.
Ying.
[Three]
Ying.
Don't touch me!
Don't come any closer!
Okay.
Stay calm.
Mom came to apologize.
I know
I've embarrassed you too many times.
But
I just want to say a few words to you.
Is that okay?
Guo Dong called me.
I've been in Beijing for several days.
I've seen everything.
You've had such a hard time in Beijing.
Our family owes you too much.
In the past,
Mom and dad were too selfish,
making you suffer like this.
I am so sorry.
Now, I just hope
that you get better soon
and stay healthy from now on.
Here's 20,000 yuan.
Take it and pay Xiao Xiao back.
And this bank card.
Your dad and I
have some deposits in this account.
Take it.
Get treated as soon as possible.
We won't force you anymore.
I'll support you in
whatever you want to do in the future.
This…
I made
some wontons for you.
Have it while it's hot.
If you need anything in the future,
just call your dad and me.
I
can come by anytime.
Slow down.
Be careful.
You are a disobedient child.
[No smoking]
Come in.
How do you like it?
It's good, right?
Not bad at all.
It's quaint.
The food looks good, too.
Of course.
My dad definitely recommended
the best restaurant in Shaoxing to you.
Lao Di
You'll never forget it once you taste it.
Alright.
How is it, Mr. Duan Chong?
Today,
you've seen my whole life,
from my birth to kindergarten,
to elementary school, middle school, and high school.
What other wishes do you have?
Only one for now.
My only wish right now
is to have a meal. I'm too hungry.
Waitress.
Give us a menu.
There is no menu.
Stop shouting.
Compared to the north, ordering is different here in the south.
We first see what they have downstairs
and pick what we want to eat.
Really?
So cool.
Ordering downstairs?
I'll go.
Do you know how?
I must experience
something as cool as this first-hand.
Wait here.
Go on.
You know what?
I am confused.
I can't even understand the names of the dishes.
I asked for their specialty.
Now we wait.
I knew you couldn't do it.
Teacher Xiao.
Now that we've ordered,
it's time to come clean.
Come clean about what?
That Ma Da?
I don't quite remember.
Do I get it right?
Liang Yi Da
Right. Liang Yi Da.
Do you have a problem with that?
You told me last time that your class reunion party was heartwarming.
What did he do to you?
Did my parents tell you some nonsense?
I'm telling you.
In my parents' eyes,
all men love me.
Besides, that happened when I was little.
If it happened when you were little,
why did he go looking for you in Beijing?
He wasn't over you?
He came back.
Why did he come back?
Was it because he wasn't good enough?
If he is not good enough, why are you thinking about him?
Mr. Duan Chong. I'm telling you.
Listen.
this class reunion party being heartwarming
has nothing to do with him.
Yes.
We didn't see each other for a long time,
and more often than not,
we couldn't relate to each other's topics.
But that feeling
was still pretty heartwarming.
It reminded me of the days
many years ago,
when aspiring young people like me from a small city
tried so hard to stay
in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
Although
after all these years,
some stayed,
and some came back,
I think
those who came back might not have failed,
those who stayed
might not have succeeded,
right?
That does make sense.
But you know, Miss Xiao,
you worry too much.
Are you a loser?
You're very successful.
Do you know why?
Not only did you manage to stay
in Beijing,
you also found a perfect boyfriend
like me.
So you're very successful.
Really.
Stop joking, okay?
We're talking about a serious topic.
I'm telling it as it is, seriously.
Outstanding people should stay in outstanding places.
When God creates a man,
another man will find it unfair.
You are the chosen one.
You're too narcissistic.
I think you're praising yourself in every way,
aren't you?
Don't I deserve to be praised?
I'll go check on our order.
Come back soon.
I'm scared of being by myself.
I really am.
You just stop it.
What is it?
I haven't finished what I'm doing yet.
Do it later.
Sit down.
Dad.
Mom.
I want to talk to you about something.
What is it?
We've lived here for many years, right?
Look.
A lot of the pipes and wires don't work anymore.
And there's water leakage.
The floor over there can't be fixed.
I think
it's time for us to get a new house.
Get a new house?
It's not that easy.
Although this house is a bit old,
I think it's pretty nice.
No need to get a new house.
But…
Mom, let me finish.
Sit down.
Let me finish.
I have a classmate
who works in real estate.
I already had a pick.
There is a three-bedroom unit
with a nice layout.
It's pretty big and spacious.
Although this house is a bit old,
it's in the school district.
We should be able to sell it for a decent price.
We'll use that money for the down payment,
and the rest…
You don't need to worry about the rest.
No need to worry at all.
I'll pay the mortgage with my salary.
No way.
How can we spend your money?
Exactly.
In our minds now,
you are the first priority.
To be honest,
your mom and I have decided
to buy a house for you in Beijing.
A house of whatever size will do.
What?
Dad, don't be ridiculous.
The housing prices in Beijing are so high.
It'll take so long to be able to afford a house.
We didn't jump on the bandwagon at the right time.
It's not a good idea to buy one now,
right?
It's better to take that money
and get a better house for you
so that you can live comfortably.
Xiao Xiao.
This is probably it for your dad and me.
We're living well here.
We just want you to own a house in Beijing.
What do you mean by "that's it"?
You're still so young.
Stop saying that.
Can this floor be fixed?
I'm using my money
to let you live your lives more comfortably.
Why don't you accept it?
I'm telling you.
No means no.
You're doing better.
Dad and Mom are happy for you.
Don't get yourself carried away.
Don't you forget
that run-down place where you used to live in Beijing.
I never want you
to go back there again.
Do you understand?
Take care of yourself.
You
really don't understand our feelings.
After we came back from Beijing last time,
she cried for days. Do you know that?
Think about it.
Thanks.
What's wrong?
You haven't been in a good mood all day.
When you said goodbye
to your parents just now,
the atmosphere seemed weird.
Did you have an argument?
I don't want to come back
and make everyone unhappy.
But why
do I feel like my parents
can never understand me?
Just like
I can never understand my parents.
Where did it go wrong?
Is it about buying a house?
I thought it was a big deal.
But I can understand them.
What's on their minds is
that they don't give you too much pressure.
I can understand you, too.
Your house is indeed old.
When I was in the bathroom this morning,
I saw a cockroach this big.
Cockroaches in the south are really terrifying.
It's fine.
How about this?
Whichever house you like, just let me know.
I'll buy it for you.
Why will you buy it for me?
I'm getting something for my future in-laws.
Do you have a problem with that?
It's not expensive.
It's not a matter of how much it costs.
They brought me up, not you.
I want to make their lives better
with my own hands.
Never mind.
Don't.
Don't be upset.
Think about it this way.
They didn't bring me up,
but they brought you up so I got to meet you.
Right?
Just because of this,
I have to reciprocate them.
Fine.
Stop.
Let's not talk about this anymore, okay?
Just don't.
Why not?
I insist.
Look at me.
Turn around.
Listen to me.
I'm going to
buy a house for them no matter what.
I am able to do that.
Duan Chong.
I feel really lucky
to have met you.
But
if I hadn't met you,
and if I couldn't get married,
I would still want to be a good daughter.
There are some things I must do by myself,
No other people can do them for me.
Do you understand?
Okay.
Thank you.
Get some sleep.
[Ensuring your safety is our top priority We base benefits on responsibility and safety]
I bought this for you.
Idiot.
Isn't this Duan Xiao Teng?
There's a small one on top.
It's so cute.
This is why you're the thoughtful one.
Duan Xiao Teng
gets lost all the time,
you know?
And it doesn't like sleeping in its doghouse.
You should put this
at the door,
or put it inside,
okay?
Keep it company.
This way, it won't get lost anymore.
Maybe
it'll stay in its kennel.
It's so nice.
It's shiny, too.
Is this Duan Xiao Teng's breed?
Nice.
It's so great having a mom so thoughtful.
Put it away.
Be careful. Don't break it.
We need to bring this back home.
So nice.
Why are you so thoughtful?
Take a nap.
All good.
Let me sleep on your shoulder.
We'll give it to you after discussion and modification.
Go on.
Teng Xiao Xiao?
Hello.
Hello, I'm Guo Dong.
I'm here to talk to you about Shen Ying.
How long
has it been going on?
Since the "All In" incident.
She started
taking antidepressants
back in October.
When I brought her to the hospital
at the end of the year,
her condition was already very serious.
Then…
Is she doing well?
No.
That's why I'm here to see you.
She thinks she betrayed your friendship,
and blamed herself a lot.
But she doesn't know how to face it
or what to do.
Also,
you know something
about her family.
She completely collapsed.
Her condition keeps relapsing.
I'm worried that…
Do you think
there's something I can do?
Are you willing to help her?
Can you forgive her?
Can I go to see her?
It will be great if you can.
It'll definitely help her solve her issue
and come out of her misery.
Xiao Xiao.
Thank you.
Sure thing.
Sorry to bother you.
Not at all.
I'm leaving then.
Thank you.
[Guanshuyuan Hutong]
[Depression Your indifference may…]
What is this?
Have a look by yourself.
What is this?
I don't get it.
Wow!
Duan Chong.
No.
Mr. Duan.
Master Duan.
Young and promising.
Of course.
Miss Xiao.
I have good news for you.
You're going to be a rich missus, you know?
How is life so good to me?
You think so, right?
Life is good to you, isn't it?
Do you love me?
I do.
Do you love me?
I love you! My hubby is the best!
So
having earned so much money,
let's go out
and splurge?
Go shopping?
My dad once said
when some people are happy,
others get jealous.
What did he mean?
Put me down.
I know you can't keep going.
You're being silly.
If it's you I'm holding,
I can keep going for 100 years.
What's the meaning? Tell me.
It means that
you should keep a low profile
and never flaunt your wealth.
My father-in-law is indeed wise.
That makes a lot of sense.
But shouldn't we celebrate it?
I feel like keeping a low profile today.
Next time.
I'll treat you to some good food next time.
Why?
It's nothing.
Depression?
Are you depressed?
It's not me.
Then, who?
Shen Ying.
She has depression.
It seems to be pretty serious.
She bullied you.
How is she the one to get depression?
She did bully me.
But I know her.
She must have felt terrible
and suffered quite a lot.
Teacher Xiao.
I'm not trying to scold you.
You're so kind-hearted.
You only care about others.
Why don't you care about yourself?
Fine.
I won't bother you.
I'll go
to the office
to sort out the contract.
Also,
call me if you want something
for dinner,
okay?
I'll come back to make it for you.
Love you.
[Depression introduction]
I won.
One more game.
I was just one step away.
Fine.
I'll use this.
[A Xiao Xiao] [*The "A" makes one the first contact on the list]
It's you again, isn't it?
No.
Answer the call.
(Hello.)
(Shen Ying.)
(I heard)
( that you haven't been doing well lately.)
(I want to go to see you.)
(May I?)
I…
I'm still in the hospital.
(Then…)
I'll be released soon.
Let's meet up
once that happens?
(Sure.)
I have something to tell you.
Is that okay?
(Yes.)
(I'll wait for you.)
One more game?
[Wangda Rd, Qiyang Rd, Heyin East Rd]
Don't tell me it's a traffic jam.
Please don't.
It's for sure at this hour.
It's all your fault.
Why didn't you wake me up in the morning?
My fault?
I tried to wake you up over 800 times.
You didn't get up.
Between taking care of your friend and work,
of course you didn't get enough sleep.
Qi.
How much longer?
Twenty more minutes.
Thanks.
Twenty minutes.
All roads lead to Rome. Driving safely matters the most.
Come on.
Stop working.
Fasten your seat belt.
Take a break.
You'll have to spend the whole day at the office.
Take a nap.
How do I work
with the seat belt fastened?
Then stop looking at the laptop.
It's bad for your eyes.
Is it too tight?
No.
No way.
I have a meeting coming up.
I have to make a report.
I must finish this.
Qi, how much longer?
Fifteen more minutes.
Drive faster.
Okay.
I'm leaving.
What's wrong?
Are you upset?
I've told you many times.
Don't use your laptop in the car.
We already don't get to spend
that much time together in a day.
And you spent the time working.
I'm very upset right now.
Very upset.
Don't be upset.
Why don't you
give me a kiss?
No.
Duan Chong.
Give me a kiss.
Alright, alright.
You…
You're making me a little uncomfortable.
It's like you are possessed by demons.
Alright. I'll stop being upset.
Nope.
This is my topic these days.
I'm leaving.
Bye.

♪Pretending to be composed when I'm hurting♪
♪Because I believe in what's left of my small dream♪
♪If I announce my failure today♪
♪So what can be done?♪
♪Even the least popular singer♪
♪Has their own audience♪
♪In this coolest world♪
♪Give yourself a hug♪
♪I may fall but I keep moving forward♪
♪I was moved by myself♪
