My Mr. Mermaid
Episode 35
Still cold?
No, I'm not.
I feel 10 degrees warmer.
Can I ask you a question?
4 years ago, what happened with you and Lin Sang?
Why do you feel sorry when seeing her?
I don't feel sorry.
I'm not saying it because I'm afraid I'll hurt her.
When Asia Elite Training Team is considering you, do you still have the habit of drinking pomegranate juice?
Yes. I like to drink pomegranate juice.
Every time before training, Little Sang will prepare a cup for me.
We found this when looking into the security camera of the break room.
It only recorded until here.
So, I would like to find Lin Sang to explain this.
Little One, was it really you?
No.
Because they found out the pomegranate juice had problems, so they had to further investigate.
At this moment, Lin Sang disappeared.
So no one could prove my innocence and the investigation couldn't go on.
So these 4 years, you had to deal with all this alone.
Why didn't you tell the truth?
Maybe in my heart,
I won't believe that Lin Sang would do that to me.
Why?
I remember
when I was participating in the last audition competition for the Asia Elite Training Team,
my knee injury came back to haunt me.
Everyone told me to quit the competition.
Only Lin Sang encouraged me to continue on.
She tried so many methods to help with my pain.
She wants me to continue to compete.
Yibai.
Little One, I might disappoint you in this competition.
Don't give up. I'll find a way to help you relieve your pain so you can compete.
Little One.
Yibai, you're only one step away from your dream.
I believe you can achieve your dream.
So I never believed that Lin Sang would harm me.
Why is your expression like that? Are you jealous?
Yes. I'm jealous. What?
I didn't know before, but now I know that Lin Sang caused you to lose your most important 4 years.
It's your golden time. I have decided to hate her.
But you were harmed by her and yet you're not mad. How can I not be mad?
Tell me the truth. Are you guys more than friends?
I'm innocent. We are only friends.
Before finding out the truth, I can't blame everything on her.
What are you laughing at?
Laugh. Go ahead. We said we won't keep any secrets from each other.
I am the jealous type. I don't want to see you caring about other girls.
Only I can live in here.
Dummy. You've always been the only one who lived in here.
Have you ever thought about it?
If none of these happen, we might be able to be together now.
4 years ago, I thought it was my darkest and hopeless times.
However, 4 years later. Looking at you had made one thing clear.
Heaven took away those 4 years in order to prepare the best gift for me.
After being prohibited from competing, I went traveling alone.
When I watched the lake, I realized
maybe I missed out on a lot of competitions in these 4 years.
On the other hand,
I realized what was more important in my life.
♫ The nightmare in deep slumber will eventually wake up. ♫
♫ This is arranged by fate. ♫
Yibai, I won't give up on you.
Don't worry. I will continue to stay by your side.
I will train you harder.
Before I give up, you can't give up.
If I didn't have these 4 years,
I wouldn't have known how much Coach Wu trusted in me.
I wouldn't have known who was the one
who would always support me as my real brother no matter what.
♫ The lighthouse on the shore. You can feel the pain. It's a miracle happening. ♫
Promise me. No matter what, you must come back to the pool.
♫ Just show your voice and shout! ♫
We must stand together at the award podium.
Do you hear me?
♫ There is nothing to fear. ♫
♫ The lighthouse on the shore ♫
♫ Break through the obstacles and reach it ♫
♫ Cause I will be there. A faint light twinkles. ♫
I'll wait for you.
If I was prohibitted from competing,
I would never have realized that
I really want to swim on.
Of course, most importantly...
if it wasn't for these 4 years, I wouldn't have participated in the school competition.
I wouldn't have saved you from drowning.
♫ Gain courage. ♫
♫ Because I will be there. ♫
And I wouldn't have met you.
♫ Don’t say that you’re ordinary. ♫
♫ You know the reason for persistence. Never stop. ♫
I wouldn't have fallen in love with you.
♫ Heading for the ocean. ♫
♫ Let's charge forward now. ♫
If it wasn't for these 4 years, we might have not been together.
Do you think this is a punishment or a gift?
This is fate.
If you weren't prohibited from competing 4 years ago, I might not be alive right now.
Do you remember that I told you...
that I once interviewed the girl you saved.
I remember.
That girl is me.
That girl is you?
If you didn't go to the lake 4 years ago,
if you didn't save me, I wouldn't be standing in front of you now.
I wouldn't have fallen in love with you.
I wouldn't know how blissful it is to be liked by someone.
Maybe you're right.
This is not a punishment. It isn't a waste of time.
Heaven wanted us to meet each other.
Heaven planned this perfect gift.
ER
You don't have to stare at me like that.
I'm fine. Don't worry.
Let me calm down. Ok?
Ok.
Why aren't you leaving?
Can't you see me at all?
I waited for you for 4 years. Do you know?
These 4 years, I waited for you to wake up every day.
Every day, I was anticipating for you to open your eyes.
Everyone said you won't wake up, but I don't believe them.
I told myself that you will definitely wake up.
As long as you wake up, nothing is the same.
But what did I wait for?
Other than your brother, you don't remember me.
Even if you lost your memory, you still remember Tang Yibai.
You remember that he's your most important person that can't be forgotten.
What about me?
What am I to you?
I waited for 4 years. The answer I got after 4 years...
I am someone who can be forgotten by you.
Tell me. Can I be happy?
Can I really be happy?
Ouyang. I...
You can't continue to like Tang Yibai.
You forgot, but I didn't forget.
You became like this because of Tang Yibai.
Tang Yibai, what's your dream?
I want to become the fastest swimmer in this world.
What about you? What's your dream?
My dream is very simple.
I want to accompany you in achieving your dream.
I became like this because of Tang Yibai?
Did you forget about how Tang Yibai treated you 4 years ago?
You sacrificed everything for him, but how did he treat you?
He sacrificed you for himself.
If Tang Yibai participates in Asia Elite Training Team, he will be going abroad.
I know this and I have prepared myself.
I am willing to go with Yibai.
No, no, no Lin Sang. You have to understand. After he joins the Asia Elite Training Team,
it's not a child's game.
If he joins Asia Elite Training Team,
he will go his own path.
I want you to understand that it won't be you.
Not you, not you, not you.
Stop talking. Tang Yibai didn't sacrifice me.
Face reality. You saw just now.
Tang Yibai already likes someone else.
Whether it was 4 years ago or 4 years later, he doesn't need you.
You have only liked him one-sidedly, don't you understand?
Sorry Little One.
I've always seen you as a friend and a sister.
But it is different from liking you.
No. Tang Yibai didn't betray me.
It's me. I betrayed our dream.
It's me. I betrayed Yibai. It's me.
What do you mean? You betrayed Tang Yibai?
Little Sang. Little Sang.
Doctor, doctor.
47, 48.
Fighting. 49
50. Good job.
Have some water.
Thank you.
I'm sorry you have to come accompany me when you're off.
I'm your girlfriend. Who else do you want to accompany you other than me?
I'm afraid you'll be bored.
I won't be bored. I have so much I can do.
What?
Let me show you something.
What's this?
This is all the records of the competitions that I have organized.
It has videos and information that you can analyze before the competition.
Also, I organized all the opponents that you will be facing in the final competition.
There are videos on Ding Liangjian, Ouyang Heng, and Zhang Yang.
When you're resting, you can take a look at them.
Even though they can't help you improve your time, knowing your opponents can help you succeed.
Did you prepare all this for me?
I'm not an athlete so I can't help much for your competition.
So, I can only do this much.
Who said you are not helpful? As long as you're by my side,
I am especially focused and energized for my training.
That's right. Your training plan for today isn't the same as before.
You're focused on training your leg strength.
It's not just today. I've been focusing on strengthening my legs during this time period.
Why?
Because if I want to beat Ouyang Heng, the most crucial part is the turning point at 50 meters.
What do you mean?
I don't know how many times I have watched Ouyang Heng's videos.
Whether it is jumping in, speed or stability,
Ouyang Heng has no weaknesses. In contrast,
my biggest weakness is at the turning point of 50 meters.
Is it when you're turning around?
That's right. Do you remember that I told you that my legs are long?
It is less smooth for me to turn around than Ouyang Heng.
Also, my knee has been injured before.
I am slower than him by 0.03 seconds.
What should you do?
In order to minimize our time difference,
I am confident in winning him with one method.
It is to speed up after turning around.
That is why I'm training on strengthening my legs.
Oh, I understand now.
Yun duo, could you go to the hospital with me?
You want to go see Lin Sang?
No. I want to talk some things out with Brother Lin Zi and Ouyang.
I don't want to continue to act in front of Little One.
I know Little One's current condition and I know her feelings for me.
If I continue to pretend that nothing has happened and still stay by her side,
that is not fair for you.
Yibai, thanks for thinking about me.
But Little Sang... I'm not doing this just for you.
It's also for Ouyang and Little One. Also for myself.
If I continue to give Little One false hope,
she will never see Ouyang who has always been by her side.
She will never realize how much Ouyang sacrificed for her.
ER
The patient's condition isn't looking good. You should be prepared.
How is she right now?
The result has come out. The blood clot in her brain is showing signs of movement.
It will be compressing on more dangerous areas of her brain. That is why she suddenly fainted.
If she continues like this, the situation can get worse.
Doctor, what should we do now?
If she doesn't do the surgery, her life might be in danger.
What's the probability of success with the surgery?
It's hard to say. There have been records of successful cases.
If you consider the surgery, I''ll find some time to discuss that with you.
Think about it. The patient is coming.
Thanks doctor. Brother.
Little sang.
Are you ok?
Let me.
You don't have to keep thinking about how to save me.
Little Sang, what are you saying?
All of it is my fault. I deserve it.
If I didn't harm Tang Yibai...
Tang Yibai, Tang Yibai. You're like this and yet you're saying Tang Yibai.
Can't you see how much your brother and I care about you? Stop talking.
Sorry Brother Lin Zi. It's my fault.
If I didn't take her to go see Tang Yibai, she wouldn't be like this.
Alright. Don't say anymore.
Outpatient.
Don't worry. Lin Zi and the doctor arranged a time for Little Sang's surgery.
It's this Friday morning.
Friday morning?
That's the day of the dream cup final competition.
Ouyang Heng wait a sec. Lin zi said...
Little Sang needs quiet and rest.
Alright. I got it.
Ouyang.
Why are you here?
I came to tell you. Don't stress too much about Little One.
Follow me.
If you have time to worry about me, why don't you worry about yourself?
0.01 seconds.
That is the time difference from last time's competition.
However, I have to tell you that our time difference isn't only 0.01.
Because until now, I haven't used my full ability.
Time me. You can see our real time difference.
What? How can Yibai win then?
I believe in Tang Yibai. When everyone didn't believe that he would come back to swimming, Yibai did it.
He can overcome the 4 years.
0.03 seconds is nothing much.
Come, come, come. Stop with what you're doing.
Come sit. Gather up.
The Dream Cup final competition is in a few days.
The hard training that all you did for this year will get tested in this competition.
Fighting everyone!
What?
Why are you staring at me like that? I didn't do anything wrong.
It's quite scary.
I have another announcement.
Qi Ruifeng will not be participating in the final competition.
What's going on?
Why?
Are you kidding me?
It's not easy to get into finals. Why won't you let me compete?
To save your future.
Before your shoulder injury heals, I won't let you participate in any competition.
Qi Ruifeng!
Yibai, go take a look at them.
Listen to me.
I thought you would understand me.
I thought you would stand on my side.
So I believed you. I told you everything.
I didn't think that you would betray my trust and told Coach Yuan everything.
I can't swim anymore.
Are you satisfied? Happy?
Come back here.
I know you feel like that I have betrayed you.
But I must do this.
You can blame me, hate me, and ignore me for the rest of your life.
I can disappear from your sight.
But before that, can you promise me something?
Please accept the surgery.
Please healthily come back to the pool.
Please defeat those opponents who are blocking your way.
Please swim until we become old and can't swim anymore.
As a swimming athlete, you should leave proudly.
Not now. You shouldn't leave with regrets.
I know you would hate me, but I don't regret doing this.
If it was you, for my good, you would do the same right?
Qi Ruifeng!
Yangyang, what's with Qi Ruifeng's shoulder injury?
What secrets are you guys hiding from us?
Qi Ruifeng!
Open the door.
Qi Ruifeng.
Open the door. Let's chat.
Will Brother Feng lock himself in there until after the final competition?
What to do? My games are still in there.
Why are you just caring about the little things?
There's no movement inside.
Will he be too emotional and have suicidal thoughts?
Nonsense. He's not that type of weakling.
Qi Ruifeng. Yangyang already told me why you won't do the surgery.
I know you did this because of our promise.
For our teammates, for Coach Yuan.
But have you thought about it?
With your conditions, even if you win the competition,
what about our future?
Compared to watching you win the competition with us,
your future is more important to us.
Stop talking.
If you still consider me as your brother,
listen to me. Stop acting strong.
Will you open up?
Move out the way.
Sister Yangyang, don't be so rough.
I'm done with you acting like a ghost.
We waited outside all night. Why won't you listen to us?
Why can't you go to the hospital and accept the recovery?
This is my business. None of your business.
Qi Rufeng, calm down.
Your business is my business. How is it not my business?
You did so much to protect me. Why can't I do the same?
Do you think that I don't know anything?
Lin Haoyang already told me everything.
I lost.
I will disappear from your sight from now on because of the deal I made with Qi Ruifeng.
What deal?
Qi Ruifeng heard my teammates talking to me about courting you.
He thought that I'm chasing you not because I like you.
He thinks I have ulterior motives.
That I want to use you to increase my own popularity.
So before the competition, he came to find me to tell me to disappear from your sight.
So you're saying...
He came to fight with you because of me?
You really are not ordinarily slow.
I remember you told me before that the guy you like doesn't care about you.
But I think you're wrong.
If a guy doesn't care about a girl.
He won't go threaten another guy for her.
He won't use his swimming career as a bet.
He did so to prevent another guy from hurting you.
So Qi Ruifeng cares about you unlike how you think, dummy.
That stinky Hottie of the West, I should have killed him.
He even stabbed me in the back before leaving.
I told him to back off. Why did he tell you so much?
Lin Haoyang is the past.
Now you're the important one.
It's not only about me.
If I am not participating, what do we do about the team competition?
I am graduating this year. This is my last chance
to represent our school with Yibai and make Coach Yuan proud.
If I miss out on this,
I don't know when the next time would be.
What if the surgery fails?
Who will be responsible? Who will repay me?
I'll repay you.
Qi Ruifeng. I believe you will have no problem.
When everyone didn't believe that I can come back to swimming,
only you believed me. You said you would wait for me. With your words, I crawled my way back.
Now I have done it. What about you?
You should give me a chance to wait for you.
I believe your love and persistence for swimming can help you overcome any obstacles.
You will do the surgery and recovery.
With your unwillingness to give up, you can come back to swimming.
You will tell everyone, "Dreams come from persistence."
What about our Dream Cup?
Yes. We did say we would win it together.
Giving up now. So what?
If you want a challenge, when you are recovered,
we can go challenge a bigger stage.
Olympics.
That is the stage everyone wants to go on.
Olympics.
No wonder I admire you.
If we want a challenge, we should challenge the most difficult.
If we don't challenge ourselves, how can we surpass our limits?
I'm saying Qi Ruifeng. This small injury can't stop your swimming career.
Olympics is every 4 years. This time, I'll wait for you.
Don't worry.
Wait for me.
When I come back, I might become the Iron Man of swimming.
Who knows who will be the one waiting?
Keep on training. I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up with me.
Qi Ruifeng, how come you won't listen to me when I persuade you all day?
When Tang Yibai said a few words, you agreed.
If you hug her, you have to take responsibility.
Alright. I'll take responsibility of Xiang Yangyang's future.
Sure. You take responsibility.
Who needs you to take responsibility? So random. Why are you hugging me?
Qi Ruifeng, I already made an appointment with the doctor for tomorrow.
I'm afraid there will be traffic. I'll wait for you tomorrow morning at 8 am in front of the dorms.
I'm talking to you. Did you hear me?
Yes. I heard you. I have ears.
That's good.
I'm being serious. I must see you at 8 am in front of the dorms tomorrow.
You can't find any excuse this time. I won't let you off.
Ok. I'll promise you. I'll be on time tomorrow.
That's not right. Why are you so obedient today?
You must be thinking about something evil.
But you have to promise me something.
See. I knew it.
Go on. What promise?
After I decided to do the surgery,
my greatest regrets is not being able to compete along with my brothers.
Other than that, I have another regret.
Only you can repay me for this regret.
What regret?
Let's go. Hurry. Let's go.
Hurry.
Why did you bring me here?
I brought you here so you can make me a perfect beautiful bento box.
Bento box?
Every time after my competitions, you handmade bento boxes for me to replenish my energy.
What are you saying? I don't know anything.
When did I make bento boxes for you?
Xiang Yangyang, stop lying to me.
I knew early on. Coach Yuan never told you to buy me food.
I... Stop explaining yourself. I know the auntie here.
She told me that you would handmake a bento box for me every time after my competition.
Only for me.
Actually after every competition, I don't anticipate standing on the award podium.
But I anticipate for your handmade bento box.
After the surgery, the recovery process will take a while.
Not only will I miss out on the dream cup, I will miss out on 2 more competitions. A total of 3.
So, I will miss out on 3 of your delicious bento boxes.
So I want...
What do you want?
You forced me to do the surgery.
So you have to take responsibility and repay me. Go make me a bento box now.
Strawberries, avocados, carrots, beef.
It's all here. Make me it.
Don't you run away.
Who's running away? I'll make it right now.
Xiang Yangyang, I've always wanted to tell you something.
What is it?
Actually since a long time ago,
I already really like...
really like...
No way, what do you want to do now?
You're not confessing at this moment right?
I'm cooking and sweating. I'm so ugly now.
More importantly, I'm not mentally prepared.
Who wants to confess? I wanted to say...
Since a long time ago, I really like to eat your bento boxes.
Oh you're saying that.
So I want you to promise me. I want you to continue to cook for me.
You can only cook for me.
So...this is not a confession?
No. This is a demand.
You don't have to right to reject me because who told you...
to make me like you?
I'm back.
You're back?
You guys are back? What did the doctor say?
When's the surgery?
It was suppose to be today, but you insist on after the competition.
That's right. Coach Yuan and I kept persuading him, but he kept crying and whining.
You don't know. He almost got the security guards to come.
So embarrassing.
I am South Physical's motivation. If I wasn't here,
can they be ok?
That's right Coach. I know you won't let me participate in the 1500 meters.
But, you should let me do the team competition. It's only 100 meters. 100 meters.
Don't worry about it.
Just get ready for your surgery and recovery.
How can I not worry? I'm South Physical swimming team leader.
If you say another word, I will take your position away.
