Episode 20
You?re in a bad mood.
You must be in a bad mood.
You?re not pleased about something.
Me?
Mm.
I?m not.
What about you?
Me either.
Really?
I?m telling you.
Since the two of us
did... that,
I?ve been completely pleased.
Pleased about what?
D-didn?t ask me whether I was pleased or not?
I answered.
I?m very pleased.
It?s almost time.
I-I have business to attend to.
I?m leaving.
I?ll call you later.
Good girl.
Let?s see how long you can keep the act up.
Jerk.
Luo Man.
Yesterday
I told Zhang Hao how I feel about you.
I didn?t want him to keep misunderstanding.
I know.
I hope this won?t
cause you any issues.
I?m fine.
Don?t worry.
Let?s eat together.
Can?t.
I have to get to work.
How about you go with someone else?
Hello? Mom.
What?
What?s wrong with Dad?
Wasn?t your father an athlete?
How can he suddenly fall ill?
My dad told me he invested
a lot of his retirement money
then found out he got swindled.
He still hasn?t recovered and now has fallen ill
What a rotten person.
Using that way to make money.
Don?t let me catch them.
I?ll definitely show them.
They?re too much.
Your mom must also be having a hard time.
I could tell she was pretending to be strong over the phone.
But in reality she must be upset.
You?re leaving now?
This is for you.
No need, Luo Man. I have some.
Just take it.
I don?t have time to buy anything for your dad.
Bring him something for me.
It?s really not necessary, Luo Man.
I have money.
Just accept it.
It will make me feel better.
Spirits up, Xiu Qi.
Everything will be okay.
Okay.
I?m leaving.
Xiu Qi!
Everything will turn out okay!
Xiu Qi,
call if you need anything!
Take care! Call us when you get there!
Even Caring Brother can cry.
This is my first time seeing him cry.
Xiu Qi.
Spirits up.
Everything will be okay.
Okay.
I?m leaving.
Maybe
I haven?t done enough for Xiu Qi.
You really want to go to Xiu Qi?
Mm.
I heard you
didn?t sleep at all yesterday.
Must have been because of this.
His mom and dad took care of me and my mom.
Now that his dad?s now in a coma,
I don?t what I can do to help.
But it?s better than endlessly worrying.
But what about work?
Haven?t thought about it.
I?ll cover your shifts. Okay?
Zhang Hao!
Sorry, I was eavesdropping on your conversation.
You go ahead.
I?ll take care of the work part.
Really?
Thank you.
No need to thank me.
Go help Caring Brother.
I also should do something for him.
Go comfort Xiu Qi.
Okay?
I support your decision.
Mm.
By the way,
when you see Xiu Qi?s parents, send them my regards.
After all, they helped out my girls so much.
Right?
Don?t worry, Dad. I will.
Remember to eat
while I?m not here.
And remember to get along with Ding Ling-jie.
I know, I know.
You needn?t worry about me.
The bus is here.
I?m off then, Dad.
Okay.
Careful. Take care.
Bye, Dad!
Okay, bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye, bye-bye.
Hello? I was just thinking about calling you.
Yeah?
Let?s meet up then.
Right now?
I can?t right now.
I have to go to a symposium with other professors.
A symposium?
I-I?ll send you a text.
I can?t go.
Can?t do anything about that.
Talk to you later.
What is he doing here?
Hurry, hurry up.
Manager, I?m here.
Old Luo,
move your hands and legs faster.
Didn?t you want more districts?
Yes.
All the mail is here.
Alright.
Can you do it?
I can do it.
You don?t have the impression of a hard worker.
How can you tell?
Your hands don?t have any calluses.
I heard you were a singer before.
Do you have a gambling debt or something?
Have to do this instead?
Not at all.
I just... wanted to try something different.
Xiao Zhang!
Be careful now. Slowly, gently.
GM Tang
spent two to three days looking.
By that time, the cello had been sold in Guangzhou.
GM Tang personally flew over
and accepted the unreasonable price.
Finally, he made me anonymously
deliver it to the missing items center.
He had me not tell you.
He said it?s fine as along as you?re happy.
Let?s get some tea.
You guys go ahead.
I want to go home and rest.
Alright then.
By the way,
why hasn?t that guy that picks you up everyday been coming?
He?s on a business trip.
So that?s it.
Looks to me like he?s not.
He must be back.
We?ll be leaving then.
Bye-bye.
Thanks.
You don?t always need to say thank you.
I?ll be leaving then.
See you later.
Bo Wen.
Let?s eat together tomorrow.
Did I hear right?
You want to eat with me?
You heard right.
I want to eat with you.
Okay.
Let?s go to that restaurant from last time.
Okay.
You head on back.
Mom.
You head back and rest.
I can manage here.
How can I
leave your dad here and go home by myself?
Xiu Qi.
Tell me.
What if it turns out your dad?s condition is bad?
Mom.
Don?t think negatively.
Dad is all right.
Ayi! I?m here.
*Ayi - a polite name to call an older lady
Luo Man.
Ayi, did you miss me?
Luo Man, what are you doing here?
I was worried about Xiu Qi?s dad, so I came.
How is he?
Have you two eaten?
I bought some porridge.
You?ll eat some, right?
I?m not hungry.
You two eat.
Ayi,
you have to eat something.
Right now
you and Xiu Qi need to keep your spirits up.
That way you can look after Xiu Qi?s dad.
Mom.
Luo Man?s right.
Let?s eat a little.
Mm.
Here.
Okay, I understand.
Have some more, Ayi.
You too, Xiu Qi.
By the way,
after you finish eating
you should go straight home, Ayi.
Leave the hospital to Xiu Qi and me.
You go change your clothes and get some rest.
That way you?ll have more energy to look after Xiu Qi?s dad.
You traveled a long ways to get here.
You must be tired.
Ayi.
You?ve forgotten how strong I am.
Looks like I need to refresh your memory.
Want me to pull that boat over and show you?
Okay, I got it.
You silly child.
Eat up, eat up.
Mm.
Ayi.
You need to take care of yourself.
We can take turns resting.
That would work, right?
Mom.
Listen to Luo Man.
Don?t faint from exhaustion again.
We?re close to home anyway.
If anything happens, I can just call you.
Right.
I?ll watch over Xiu Qi?s dad in the hospital.
Don?t you worry.
Ayi.
I?ll accompany you home.
Mom.
Go home and rest.
Okay, I understand.
Hurry up and eat.
Eat.
Have some more.
Mm.
Here, Mom.
Without Luo Man here,
do you feel as though
something?s missing?
I do feel like that.
It?s weird, isn?t it?
That girl Luo Man
is always acting all silly and does everything clumsily.
But without here really here,
it feels so much colder.
It?s not a very good feeling.
She just left
and I already miss her.
She?s accompanying Xiu Qi right now,
taking care of Xiu Qi?s father.
I know.
She?s a good kid.
Right,
that... Luo Hai Bin...
What about him?
Do you know what his financial situation is?
Is it really that bad?
When I just got to know Luo Man,
she gave a basic outline.
It must be particularly rough
and that?s why
Luo Man is working several jobs
like me.
That so?
But you know
he?s rather prideful.
We don?t know how much he?s faking.
Waiter!
Coming!
I have so many things I want us to do together.
Watching movies,
attending yacht parties,
going bungee jumping, parachute jumping,
and traveling in Europe.
So many things.
That?s not even all.
How did it not occur to me?
How many days
would he have to work before he could afford this bottle of red wine?
Ding Ling, Ding Ling.
How come you?re so bad at being sympathetic?
Luo Man.
I like you.
I?ve liked you all along.
I don?t know when it started.
You already aren?t simply an ordinary friend to me.
I don?t want anything from you this instant.
I just want you to realize that
on this Earth there?s someone
who upon seeing your smile
feels like he possesses the entire world.
Who upon seeing you upset
will hurt ten times more.
Ting Ting.
Has Luo Man contacted you?
She called me last night.
Xiu Qi?s father still hasn?t recovered consciousness.
Xiu Qi must be having a hard time.
Truthfully,
I don?t think Luo Man?s rash decision to go
will help anything.
What would help the most
is me.
I?m going to buy a ticket.
Don?t be impulsive.
This is also a way of helping
Luo Man and Xiu Qi have the chance to establish their feelings.
Right, that?s right.
It goes here.
This is the shelf for finance books.
This one goes here.
These too.
They also go here.
Have you learnt yet?
Dummy.
My thanks, upperclassman.
Now all my work is complete.
I?m leaving.
Zhang You Tiao, get back here!
About setting up a branch in Hong Kong,
I?ll discuss with our director.
Yes.
Alright. I?ll talk to you soon.
Enter.
GM Tang.
When I was washing the car, I found this inside.
Thanks.
Yes.
I?ve paid Manager Jin a visit.
Understood.
See you soon.
GM Tang,
the car is ready.
Go back to that hospital.
Yes, sir.
This is her photo.
Take a look.
Her name is Shu Qing.
She?s a cello major at an art school.
Her looks and education are on-par.
What do you think?
When can I meet her?
You?re in such a hurry.
That?s not like you.
This rotten kid...
Alright.
I?ll try to set it up.
Hi, Min Qiang!
Hi...
Going to work?
Yeah, the supermarket from before wants me to help out for a bit.
Without Luo Man, it must be a comfortable ride.
Yeah.
Without Luo-shixiong,
I can lean back more.
Oh, stop talking, enough talking.
I almost lost.
Bye-bye, bye-bye.
I?m off!
Awesome!
Go!
Tired, aren?t you?
I?m all right.
What about you?
I have awesome endurance.
Working 10 jobs wouldn?t wear me out.
Look.
Mom.
Thank you two.
It?s nothing, Ayi.
Thank you, Luo Man.
I?m really grateful
that you?re here.
Ayi.
I haven?t helped at all.
Rather, I feel apologetic.
Don?t say that.
I can have peace of mind with you here.
Right, Xiu Qi?
Right.
Don?t be like this.
You treated me and my mom so well.
Me coming to help is nothing.
I just hope Xiu Qi?s dad can get back on his feet.
Mr Li Shuo?s family?
Is Li Shuo?s family here?
Here.
Here, here!
The patient just woke up.
Thank you, Lord, thank you.
Can we go in and see him?
You can, but in a little bit.
Please patiently wait here.
Okay.
Thank you.
Thank you, nurse.
Thank you, Lord.
This is wonderful.
Mom.
Thank goodness!
GM Tang.
When I was washing the car, I found this inside.
Thanks.
Are you upset over something today?
Over what?
I can?t pin down what it is,
I just have a feeling.
Does it?
Let?s watch a movie when we?re done.
The movie will be
my treat for finding my wallet for me.
You don?t want to?
Do you think if you put enough effort in,
you can make the one you like
like you back?
What do you mean?
I?ve been seriously thinking about our relationship.
Then...
What conclusion did you come to?
It looks there?s been a lot of wishful thinking on my part.
What is it you?re trying to say?
I want to take back our engagement.
I don?t want to see us
giving our all to advance toward a goal that doesn?t exist.
Let?s end it here.
I want you to speak more clearly.
I don?t really understand what you mean.
I?ll find an appropriate opportunity
to talk to my parents.
I?ll explain it to them.
I won?t implicate you.
Don?t worry.
How is it?
He really was surprised to see me,
but he was happy.
Although he looks fatigued right now,
he is very much awake.
We even talked about the past together.
His mind?s working like a charm.
Well? Have you seen the doctor?
What did he say?
We just saw him.
He said Dad can change beds tomorrow afternoon.
Within a week, he?ll be discharged.
But he?ll need to come in for weekly check-ups.
That?s great news.
This is all thanks to you, Luo Man.
Ayi, don?t say that.
I didn?t help at all.
Thank you.
Here, for you.
I like the other one.
Your dad?s okay.
That makes me feel a lot less anxious.
Me too.
I knew he?d be all right.
See? What did I tell you.
Luo Man.
Thank you.
Why are you all thanking me?
Aren?t you done yet?
To tell the truth,
I was already happy when you came.
And then you helped out so much.
If it weren?t for you,
my mom might have already fainted.
Your parents were so good to my mom.
Plus, you always take care of me.
I?m not some ungrateful person.
Of course I?d come.
It?s a given that I take care of you.
Seeing you speak like this,
our Xiu Qi?s all grown up!
But
it might take some time
before your dad?s completely recovered.
To take care of your parents,
you must first take care of yourself.
Remember to eat on time.
Understand?
I will.
When did you become so considerate?
Must have learnt it from you.
They do say people who?ve been friends for a long time
will become more and more similar.
Looks like it?s true.
Phone: Ma Jun Cai
Luo Man called.
She said Xiu Qi?s dad is just fine.
Everyone can stop worrying.
This is for you.
A pre-made lunch box.
It has your favorite shrimp inside.
Is that girl from Santorini all you think about?
Do you not have any other friends?
Do you not realize how worried everyone is for you?
We?re just concerned, alright?
I know! I know!
Leave, leave, leave!
I see...
Once again wasting time on this flower I see.
You measured the temperature and changed the water again.
Why isn?t there the least bit activity?
I don?t know either.
But one day they?ll grow.
Right?
Zhang Hao!
Come here.
Coming!
Zhang Hao,
where?s your girlfriend?
What girlfriend?
The one who always returns with you on the bike, that girl.
You two are always chattering away.
The one you get along with well.
She...
hasn?t been to school lately.
She?s not my girlfriend.
She?s just a classmate.
There?s no way.
Would ordinary friends get along that well?
Luo?
Heavens!
Let?s go.
Come on.
Xiu Qi! Luo Man!
Zhang Hao.
Did everything go smoothly?
Ma Jun Cai told me your dad?s all right.
He?s begun his recovery.
Don?t worry.
Good!
Then I?m rest assured.
Let's go.
Okay, let's go.
