[Episode 5]
Aren't you guys studying? Why are you singing?
We're taking a break.
Why are you taking the cushion?
Xiao Han should cushion his bad foot.
Okay. 10 minutes is enough singing.
His leg is injured. He should sleep soon.
Okay, I know.
What are you looking for now?
I'm looking for something Xiao Han can use to ice his leg.
You usually don't do any work. Now you've learned to serve others?
Xiao Han is different. I'm willing to do things for him.
Thanks.
When are you going to do things for me?
We'll see about it later.
Little brat. Go to sleep soon.
Okay, I know.
The weather sure isn't cooperating. It's suddenly so stormy.
Wu Zheng, can we still land?
We're at maximum crosswind limit. We'll do what we can.
If we land at an alternate airport, the kid might lose his leg.
Then we'll have disobeyed orders for nothing.
Shanghai Tower, SK5178. Our estimated time of arrival is 00:30.
Has the injured boy's medical assistance arrived yet?
5178, your gate position is 201.
An ambulance is waiting at the jetway.
They're already there.
Prepare for landing.
If there is a wind shear alert, we will go around again.
All passengers please stay in your seats and buckle your seat belts.
What? Our alternate airport is Jinan?
No, winds are too unpredictable on runway 36L.
We'll request runway 36R.
We're preparing for a go-around.
Maintaining 900 meter altitude.
Requesting ground-controlled approach, runway 36R.
Are you sure you want to try again?
This is the captain of SK5178.
We have a critically-ill patient on board.
We are requesting a go-around.
Requesting ground wind speed.
5178, Shanghai Tower.
Winds are 280 degree at 15 m/s, gusts at 18 m/s.
Cleared to land, runway 36R.
Wind shear within limits.
Preparing to land, 36R.
Landing checklist.
Captain Wu Zheng.
You will always be my idol.
Idol? Who knows what disciplinary action is waiting for me tomorrow?
What am I going to do?
I've searched online for those vintage sunglasses.
I couldn't even find a sunglass arm.
If you can't find it, then just accept your fate.
If you have the time, you can do some serious work instead.
What serious work? I already have tomorrow's lessons ready.
Have you told the school you're leaving yet?
Not yet.
Ms. Lin Xiao Ou, do you want to leave or not?
I'll have to leave you next semester.
I can't bear to leave you.
I'm going to wash up.
Can I worry less about you?
Understood. Don't worry.
I will investigate this thoroughly and give you a satisfying report.
We must place safety first.
Safety is our lifeline.
Wu Zheng had good intentions
but the safety of the passengers and the plane were threatened.
We have to treat this seriously.
Yes, please rest assured.
I will treat this seriously.
Good. I won't say anymore. Do it by the rules.
You heard it all?
Master Wu, can't you stay out of trouble?
You've caused another incident before the last one has died down.
All departments had to hold a meeting this morning just for you.
Uh...
Uh... I made an assessment.
It shouldn't have been a big problem.
Shouldn't have been a big problem?
Is this the attitude a professional pilot should have?
No problems allowed at all!
Damaged plane and injured passengers. Which can you bear responsibility for?
You defied orders. Put nicely, you were being a hero.
But ultimately, you were being a maverick.
You were solely focused on forcing the landing.
Did you consider the safety of the 108 passengers?
The company has decided...
to ground you for three months.
You will hand over your duties to others.
Starting tomorrow, you are to report your thoughts to me every day.
One self-review a week. Each report more insightful than the last.
Okay.
Grounded for three months is too severe a punishment.
I'm already lucky they didn't take away my captain status.
Three months is good. I haven't had a break in a long while.
Just two days ago
you said you feel restless when you haven't flown for two days.
Let's not talk about this anymore.
This is a thank you letter the kid wrote on the plane yesterday.
It's on a napkin but it's very sincere.
I'll show it to Captain Zheng.
- No, don't. - Boss.
Don't go.
[Thank you, sir, for making it possible for me to play soccer.]
All right.
Three months in exchange for a kid's legs. Worth it.
- Hey. - Back in Shanghai?
Yes, for three months.
What's going on?
I've been grounded for three months.
I just gave you a warning and now you've been grounded.
You have such a poor memory.
I don't regret what I've done this time.
If I didn't break the rules last night, a kid might've lost his legs.
You've entered troubled times.
Are you coming over or should I go to you?
Let's discuss your future plans.
Don't worry about me.
I'm going to Auntie Wen's and staying a bit.
All right.
Come back when you've decided on your plans.
Don't forget you have a son waiting for you here.
So annoying. Bye.
- Morning. - Hi, morning.
What do you need to see me for?
I think the school might need to hire a new English teacher.
You're being so serious.
Referring a friend?
I can tell you there are no back doors here.
We don't have any openings for English teachers.
Besides, finding an English teacher isn't as easy as you think.
That's all right. There will be an opening in half a year.
I'm only working until the end of the semester.
What?
Is another school poaching you?
Is there a better private school than Wharton International?
I'm not job-hopping.
I'm preparing to go to Australia.
You're ready to give up your career for your relationship?
It's not that serious.
I'm just shifting my work focus.
I can be a teacher anywhere.
It won't be the same.
You gave up a life in America to come to this school.
You're giving up after such a short amount of time?
Have you reached your anticipated objective?
Anyway, you have half a semester's notice.
You can use this chance to get rid of a disobedient pain in the neck
and hire an obedient darling.
Isn't that nice?
All right. I'm busy right now.
Here's what. Come back again during lunch. We'll talk about this.
No need. Anyway, I've already notified you, so be prepared.
Hey, who's the boss here?
- Class dismissed. - All rise.
Goodbye, Miss Lin.
Remember to study.
Goodbye, Miss Lin.
Ms. Xiao Ou.
These are flowers for you.
I can't accept these flowers. These...
This is just a bouquet of flowers. I know teachers can't accept gifts.
This isn't anything expensive.
It just represents my regards.
I'm divorced.
These are to thank you. Take them.
I really...
Don't teachers receive flowers on Women's Day and Teacher's Day?
I came just for you. Just accept them.
All right, then. Thank you.
Thank you, Ms. Xiao Ou.
Thank you!
Auntie Wen.
- Auntie Wen? - Coming!
I've missed you so much!
Auntie Wen, I have a lot of free time. I came just to visit you.
Come in!
Your house is so bright and spacious.
You even have all appliances. Very nice, Auntie Wen.
It's thanks to you for using my services all the time.
Look at you. You didn't have to buy all these things.
- Of course I had to. - Honestly!
How could I come empty-handed?
Auntie Wen, where's Uncle? I'll go see him first.
Forget it. There's nothing to see.
He didn't take care of himself that's why he had this ailment.
It's hard for him too. Where is he? I'd like to see him.
Go. He's inside.
- Inside? - Upstairs.
Hey, old man. Wu Zheng came to see you.
- Uncle. - Sit down.
- Uncle, don't say anything. - Okay, okay.
- Just rest. - Thank you.
Auntie Wen has already told me.
Be mindful of your health from now on. You hear me?
- Help... - Okay.
He wants to thank you for always using our service.
Uncle, we're family. Don't say that.
Okay, okay. Don't talk. He understands.
Uncle, get some rest.
- Is his condition stable now? - He's much better now.
There are complications, paralysis on one side of the body.
Uncle, when you get better, I'll find a rehab center to help you recover.
How could we keep troubling you? You mustn't do that.
Okay, okay. He understands.
Uncle, get some rest. I'm staying for a few days. I'll come again.
Get some rest.
Auntie Wen, let Uncle rest. Let's go outside.
Okay. Don't talk anymore. We're going outside.
- Okay, okay. - Thank you.
Okay, he knows.
Thank you.
The opposing party was losing for sure in this divorce lawsuit.
Then Zhou Zheng Yi suddenly says he's dropping the lawsuit.
All the prep work I did was for nothing.
You can imagine how pissed I am.
All right, talk to you at the office tomorrow. Bye.
What's the happy occasion?
Why did you buy such a big bouquet of flowers for yourself?
No, wait. Are they from someone else?
It doesn't matter who they're from. They're yours now.
I'll put them in a vase for you at home. Here, drink some tea.
That's from the Beast brand.
Those must've been expensive.
This person is quite generous.
Spill it. Have you been flirting with a man while my brother is away?
Actually... the one I've done wrong by...
is you.
Zhou Zheng Yi's divorce case.
I was wondering why he suddenly dropped the lawsuit today! Lin Xiao Ou, you...
Do you know how important this was for me?
If I did well, I could've been promoted to partner.
Now I've lost that promotion and the bonus!
I'll pay you, all right?
Write an IOU, say that I owe you.
I can't afford it right now. I'll pay you back slowly.
You're the queen of living paycheck to paycheck. What will you pay with?
I should make better friends.
I'm cutting ties! Right now!
No, don't, my good friend, Ye Zi.
You know I can't stand seeing good people suffer injustice.
Ding Fang Ru stood by her husband for 20 years
and helped Zhou Zheng Yi raise their son.
She should get some credit for all she's done.
Now that she's old, she's being kicked out.
She's been withdrawn from society for so long. How can she support herself?
Besides, you're never so careless.
I think you let slip some news to me
because you subconsciously didn't want Zhou Zheng Yi get away with it.
You're cold on the outside but warmhearted on the inside.
I get you.
You don't get anything.
My long record of no losses has been ruined by your hands.
Tell me how you'll make it up to me.
Have some water and tea first.
Then let's order.
I'll work extremely hard to repay you.
We can order.
Here, try my braised pork.
It's been so long since I've tasted your cooking.
It's delicious. I've been dreaming about your food.
Auntie Wen, you made too much. You should make more for Uncle.
You fly every day and don't get a proper meal.
I must fill you up now that you're here.
- Here. - You're right.
Ever since you left, I haven't had a proper meal.
Have some chicken soup.
Auntie Wen, this chicken soup brings back memories.
When you first came to our house
I remember your chicken soup was terrible.
Even someone as frugal as my mom secretly threw it out.
Let me try this.
I was just 15 years old back then. I was still a child.
I was looking after you
but I was just playing with you and sweeping the floors.
I'm so clumsy and make mistakes often.
It was always Mrs. Wu who helped me attend to things after work.
She even helped me with my schoolwork at night.
It certainly wasn't easy for her to support a family on her.
You're right.
Back then, it was you, my mom, and I.
We may have been a tiny family, but we were so happy.
Before my mom passed away, she kept going on and on
that she shouldn't have let your parents take you back and marry you off.
Otherwise, you would've gotten into the Radio and TV University.
How nice of Mrs. Wu to think of me.
You still found a way to find me later.
Unfortunately...
good people don't live long.
Let's not talk about this. Eat. The food will get cold.
It's delicious, Auntie Wen.
Then eat more.
Wu Zheng.
You didn't come just to eat my food, did you?
I can tell there is something troubling you.
There's nothing.
There's really nothing, Auntie Wen.
I was just craving your food. It's delicious.
- Auntie Wen. - Here, have some fish.
Here.
Save the fish eyes for me.
Eat more.
What are you doing?
Why did we come outside? You couldn't talk inside?
You're with Xiao Han every day. You don't even have time to talk to me.
What is he doing?
He's showering. Talk fast.
Zhou Zhou, we will be relying on each other from now on.
What? Relying on each other?
You're just divorced. It doesn't mean nobody wants you.
Besides, you're just over 40.
Over 40? I'm not even 40 yet.
Okay, okay. Not even 40.
You haven't even lived half your life. You could rethink about your life plan.
Yes, my son is right.
We should make some new plans.
Focus on studying English.
We'll apply to immigrate abroad to start a new life.
I'll sell this house and we'll buy a big piece of land abroad.
Mom, Mom.
What's good about going abroad?
You won't know anybody there. You'll have no friends.
Stay in China. You have friends here.
Xiamen University and other colleges here are just as good as those abroad.
So, we should just stay here.
Didn't we agree you'd study abroad after this semester?
When did you change your mind?
Xiao Han said he's not going abroad so I'm not going either.
That's why I've decided to get into a college in China
and pursue advanced studies abroad if I get the chance.
Xiao Han this and Xiao Han that.
Are you Xiao Han's shadow?
You keep doing whatever he's doing. Don't you have your own opinions?
Mom, didn't you tell me to be like brothers and learn from him?
Yes, I said that, but you can't just follow without question.
That's not how you make friends.
I can make my own friends. You don't have to worry.
All right. He's probably done showering. I'm going back in.
I'm not done yet!
Mom, I'm going to help him. His leg is injured.
- Good morning, Auntie. - Morning, Xiao Han.
Is your leg much better now?
I'm pretty much recovered. I have no problem with the stairs.
That's good to hear. Then I don't have to worry.
Don't drink water in the morning. I'll pour you some milk.
Thank you, Auntie.
Xiao Han, you are such good friends with Zhou Zhou.
I wouldn't have a problem with you continuing to stay with us.
That's not a problem at all.
But Zhou Zhou suddenly told me yesterday he doesn't want to go abroad anymore.
As you know, I don't have much to count on after my divorce.
I just want to go abroad and start a new life with him.
Then he suddenly tells me he wants to go to an university in China with you.
Auntie, we were just discussing future life plans yesterday.
I told him my goals. I really wasn't thinking of dragging him with me.
It's okay. I'll be sure to talk to him today.
No, Xiao Han. If you talk to him, he'll know I talked to you.
Xiao Han, I know about your situation.
I heard you were going to apply to Juilliard School in the U.S.
But it's quite a shame with what happened in your family.
It's okay though. You have good grades and you're smart.
Even if you don't go abroad, you'll have bright prospects.
Zhou Zhou isn't the same.
He's not as smart as you and doesn't have such good grades.
If he doesn't go abroad, what will happen to his future?
Xiao Han, I said so much. Do you understand what I meant?
I do, I understand, Auntie.
Thank you very much for looking after me.
My leg is fine now. I'll be moving today.
No, no! I'm not kicking you out.
Besides, it's the weekend. We'll talk about this after the weekend.
No need, Auntie. That's really not necessary. Thank you for your care.
I...
Xiao Han, if you leave so suddenly
I won't know how to explain if Zhou Zhou asks.
Don't worry. I will tell him I want to leave. Rest assured.
- I'm going to pack. - You didn't drink the milk!
It's okay. Thank you.
He is such a sensible child.
Xiao Han, what are you doing?
I'm packing. I don't think I should keep staying at your house.
I'm going to a hotel.
Did my mom say something to you? I'm going to talk to her right now!
It has nothing to do with your mom.
My mom just passed away.
I really can't stand seeing you with your mom.
You should wait until your leg is healed first.
It's fine now.
I'm even packing on my own. It's definitely healed now.
Why don't I stay with you a few days?
Stop that thought.
Your mom just divorced your dad. She needs your company.
Besides, why would two guys be living together?
All right, then.
Be more helpful and help me pack.
Sorry, do you have another card? This card isn't working.
- Why don't I pay in cash? - Okay.
It's okay. I got it.
Forget it.
I'll go somewhere else.
Sorry.
Lu Da Zhi sure is heartless. He didn't leave you anything.
I'm using my mom's supplementary card.
Now that my mom isn't here anymore and with her house put up for auction
I'm sure her accounts aren't active anymore.
What's this? Are you still speaking up for him?
If he really cared about you, he wouldn't have left you with nothing.
All right, fine.
There seems to be a pretty nice three-star hotel over there. Let's go.
I'll lend you some money. You can pay me back later.
That's not necessary. Really.
I can't always be borrowing money from you.
I have places I can go. Don't worry about me. Seriously.
Let's leave.
[Dad]
Sorry, the number you're dialing is turned off.
[Xiao Wei]
Xiao Han, have you found a place to stay yet?
I'm at my mom's.
Going there doesn't solve anything.
- I'll come get you. - Don't come.
I won't go home with you. I'm going to find that person.
Why don't you go to Shi Fei? He seems more dependable than your biological dad.
Forget it. Birds of a feather flock together.
If he's friends with that guy, he can't be much more dependable.
But you need a guardian. There's nobody else except for him.
He owes me.
Even if he doesn't owe me, he owes my mom.
I'm demanding payment on her behalf.
I'm not living well. I won't let him sleep easy either.
Anyone there? Open up!
Dang it.
I'll just wait here.
Hello? I'd like to order a pizza.
Let me wipe your face for you.
Here.
This is better.
I can play this even without a signal.
Yay! You win.
Who are you looking for?
I'm looking for the person who lives here.
He's probably not back yet. Want to wait in my place?
No, thank you.
Okay.
Blind Miss, how did you get up here?
Who are you?
Aren't you the one who threw water in Wu Zheng's face?
Little kid, you're interesting.
He's not here.
Hello, the number you dialed is turned off.
Why is his phone off?
Can't find him, right?
I can't find him either.
Allow me to introduce myself.
It's said that I'm his son.
Hello.
Where did you come from?
Wu Zheng couldn't possibly have such an old son.
I find it strange it too. How did I get stuck with such a dad?
Interesting.
Kid, Wu Zheng isn't fit to be a father.
We can find another time to discuss this.
I have to go to school now.
Can you help me with my things? You're probably not strong enough.
I'm leaving. Bye.
Okay, play on your own.
Xiao Han!
You're here. Let's go play.
No, I'm so sleepy.
I was camped out outside Wu Zheng's door all day and he didn't even come back.
So you camped out outside his place all night but didn't call me?
I was just going to wait a bit but it was morning before I knew it.
So where is he?
How would I know?
Maybe he's hiding from me.
Who knows what he's thinking?
This guy is so unreliable. What are you going to do?
What else can I do?
I have to find him. This debt is his.
He owes me so much. He has to pay.
Don't wait for him today. Just come to my house.
No need.
He only has one house.
He can't possibly give up his house because of me.
If it comes to it, I'll go find Uncle Shi.
Go play. It's your turn.
- I'm going. - I'll watch.
Good afternoon, everybody.
Good afternoon, Teacher.
Where is your homework?
Class Leader?
Xiao Han?
Xiao Han? Xiao Han?
- Xiao Han, wake up. - Xiao Han.
Get up, Xiao Han. The teacher is coming.
Xiao Han, Xiao Han.
Hey, wake up.
Wake up.
I'm sleepy.
As a student, you're here to learn, not sleep.
Please have some classroom discipline.
Sorry.
Okay, we're here to talk about how to use English grammar correctly
by watching this TV series, "This Is Us".
Try to be focused and pay attention. Okay?
Come in.
Have you found an English teacher to replace me?
It's not that easy to find an English teacher.
I just heard a teacher say your class was very noisy.
What was going on?
It's not that severe.
We were just having a discussion and it became a bit lively.
Your class has always been undisciplined.
It has a lot to do with how you, their teacher, is so independent.
You should be more considerate of other classes. Right?
Your student, Xiao Han, in particular, has had so much happen in his family.
Even adults would have great difficulty overcoming such a setback.
If you don't provide proper guidance, he will likely turn rebellious.
I wouldn't neglect my students.
I will pay more attention to Xiao Han.
But going to Australia isn't up to you.
If you don't approve it, I'll just type up a resignation letter.
Before you were hired, you repeatedly promised me
you were going to be a well-qualified engineer of the human soul.
How long has it been? You're ready to desert your mission already?
I think you're trying to verbally provoke me.
I really don't need someone else to teach me how to be a teacher.
And please don't label me as a deserter.
As long as I'm still here, I won't give up.
- Are you tired? Take a break. - It's okay.
You're sweating so much. Wipe it off.
It's okay, Auntie Wen. This work is a piece of cake for me.
We're almost done. Just a little bit left.
You don't want water with that watermelon?
Look at you.
You fly every day.
You finally have a few days off but you come here to do farm work.
I can't even stop you.
Auntie Wen, I treat farm work as exercise.
When my body is strong, my mind becomes clear.
The weather is so nice and the air is fresh.
It puts me in a beautiful mood.
Wu Zheng, have you run into some problems?
I've looked after you for so many years. I know you.
When something is troubling you, you come to me and do farm work.
You snatch up all the dirty and tiring work to do.
You say you're helping out
but you just want to have an intimate talk with those close to you.
Auntie Wen.
I have run into some problems lately.
Work isn't going well?
It's not work. Work is all right.
This is bigger and more annoying than work.
Wu Zheng, I am a peasant and not very cultured.
I'm unable to give you any good ideas
but if you want to talk, I'll listen.
Auntie Wen, do you remember Xiao Wei?
Yes, she is a nice lady.
A few days ago, she passed away.
She was so young. What a pity.
When Xiao Wei passed away...
she left behind a child.
The child might be mine.
