[Old Street Bistro]
Here we are.
No, Mr. Qun.
He was bitten by a dog. He has to abstain from drinking.
- You drink, then. - Okay, I got it.
Dig in while it's hot. Shrimp.
No, he can't eat seafood either.
Banned.
Then eat eggplant.
Why don't I make you dough drop soup?
Banned.
Dough drop soup can't be banned!
Forget it. There are a ton of things I can't eat now.
Thank you. I'll just eat a little bit.
- I'll just eat this. - Okay.
It's all because of that darn kid.
I can't drink beer, tea, or coffee, or eat spicy duck neck or hot pot.
What can I do?
This is refreshing. Have a sip.
Show me the paternity test results.
What for?
Are you going to hire someone to change the results?
Then you'll show the kid and say it's not real and ask him to come back?
I'm wondering what samples Fei Wen Li took and when she got them.
I'm wondering about that too.
Oh, right.
It must've been that day Fei Wen Li came to my house.
She suddenly got the idea of tidying up my place.
She cleaned every corner and even scrubbed the toilet.
When Xiao Han got back that night, he said his toothbrush was missing.
That means she took Xiao Han's toothbrush to use for the DNA test.
She took something else from your house that could've had your DNA.
That should be it.
I understand now.
Did you feel a bit downhearted when you found out you're not his father?
Who's downhearted?
I'm just a bit mad.
I'm mad that Fei Wen Li acted on her own initiative
and mad that Xiao Han ran off without getting the situation straight.
He could've waited until I came home to explain in person.
The kid is rebellious but you can't be rebellious as the adult.
What if he really won't come back?
Then he won't come back.
Since he's determined not to return, he can gain some experience out there
so he learns the world is dangerous and people are unpredictable.
What happened to your leg? Is it serious?
I'm fine. It's just a light sprain.
What were you meddling in now?
Long story.
In short, Xiao Han ran away from home
because his dad's girlfriend had a paternity test done on them.
What was the result?
Not a match.
That's why Xiao Han left without a word.
He still hasn't been found.
How can people be so cold-blooded?
Does a paternity test clear one of all ties?
You know what?
From a legal viewpoint, a paternity test is the best screening method.
Legal? Oh, right!
Send Lu Da Zhi and Wu Zheng both a legal letter to scare them.
Legally, they can be punished for their treatment of an underage child.
You don't need to tell me that.
Trouble is on the horizon but you're still meddling in others' business.
Trouble on the horizon?
Have you called my brother lately?
He didn't even call my dad on his birthday.
I think you should keep an eye on him.
No matter how upstanding he is
he still wouldn't be able to stand temptation by his side.
You're helping your brother make up stories again
to urge me to go to Australia earlier.
I trust him.
No temptation would work on him.
You're insensitive but so caring about those little devils in your class.
If I called you considerate, would you believe me?
You won't stop upsetting me even when I'm injured?
I've been so busy all night that I haven't even eaten yet.
Can't you dote on your sister-in-law for a bit?
Make me some delicious food.
I haven't eaten either. Let's order delivery.
I want to eat pork trotters.
Lin Xiao Ou!
I'm serious.
It doesn't matter whether you two are father and son.
You should still take him to get a paternity test.
Just do it for Xiao Wei.
Shi Fei.
Actually, this all matches up.
Do you remember I told you that on the night before Xiao Wei passed away
I ran into her and her son?
Xiao Wei and Xiao Han were having a fight.
I didn't know what to say so I said
"Kids these days are quite difficult to raise."
Without rhyme or reason, she replied, "Bad genes."
I thought she was just joking. What does "bad genes" mean?
Now I'm thinking about who she was referring to.
She was talking about me.
It all matches up.
Xiao Wei kept it from you all these years.
She didn't tell you about the child. She's quite honorable.
If she finds out how Lu Da Zhi is now and the child is wandering out there
she'll definitely strangle you in your dreams tonight.
If she really appears in my dreams...
I'll see her and talk to her.
I'll tell her that regardless of whether Xiao Han is our child...
she is my ex-wife so I'll take care of the kid.
No matter what, I can't let him wander the streets.
It'd be great if she could appear in my dreams.
Auntie.
Bring the check.
Done eating?
- How much will it be? - 120 yuan.
100 yuan.
- All right. - Thank you.
Old man, we're taking off.
- Don't forget your things. - Thank you. Bye.
Come again.
You're drinking again? I told you to stop drinking.
Just one glass.
- Is this the first glass? - The first.
Hello, the number you dialed is turned off.
What is it?
Are you coming back to sleep?
Where else would I go to sleep?
Then... Then hurry back.
All right.
Stay, stay.
Xiao Han? How come you're so early today?
Oscar.
Have you had breakfast yet?
- Come on in. - Come here.
What do you need?
Do you have Prosperous Autumn Day's contact information?
Yes.
Can you help me contact him? I need to see him.
Okay.
[Sorry!]
That brat.
Hello, Captain Zheng, this is Wu Zheng. My computer has been fixed.
All the lecture materials were recovered. I'll send them to you right away.
- Hello? - Hey, Shi Fei.
Has Xiao Han's teacher contacted you?
It's so early.
Didn't you say yesterday you wanted him to gain some experience?
What now? Are you worried about your son?
Cut the chit chat. Has his teacher called you?
Is there news on Xiao Han?
Ask her yourself.
I spent all day yesterday searching with you and didn't do any work.
I have to head out for a performance soon. Don't ask me.
That teacher is too much trouble. I don't want to talk to her.
If you're worried about your son
don't do it in a roundabout way.
Just call her directly.
That brat won't say sorry to me no matter what.
Do you know what he did?
He put up an animation on my desktop background
of Oscar bowing and saying sorry to me
but he himself refuses to bow.
Isn't he just like you? Pride always matters the most.
When are you going to apologize to him? That's all. Bye.
Once I got your call, I dropped everything and came here.
This is 50,000 yuan. Count it.
What does this mean?
I want to make a one-time payment. This isn't foster care.
I like Oscar. I don't want him to suffer.
I know.
This is enough. Use the rest to buy him quality dog food.
Just be good to him.
Don't worry. You're his new owner from now on. I won't see him again.
Don't worry. I won't let him get skinny even if I do.
Sorry that you have to part with him.
It's okay. Just send me pictures of him.
No problem!
Let me say a few last things to him.
Oscar, from now on...
I won't be able to be with you.
I'm going to a faraway place.
You'll be with this chubby guy from now on.
Look at how fat you are now. Don't end up looking like him.
Be slim and handsome like me.
Exercise more and snack less.
If you miss me, just...
go out for a run and channel the sorrow into energy.
We'll leave now. Don't worry. I'll be good to Oscar.
Oscar.
Mr. Wu.
I've finished fixing the water pipe. Please review and sign.
Thank you.
Your toilet isn't that complicated.
It's just that the ones who installed it were irresponsible
and left it vulnerable to risks.
Yes.
Isn't this waterproof tape?
If the water pipe was wrapped with this, there wouldn't have been such a big leak.
Since your pipes are old, I'll leave you with this waterproof tape.
Remember to apply it when you have time.
- I will. - Make sure you do.
- Please be quick. - Okay.
It's my fault.
The installers told me to make sure to apply this.
I forgot because I was in a hurry that day.
It's my fault.
This must've flooded all the way downstairs.
You must've had to pay a lot.
A total of over 20,000 yuan.
It's my fault, I admit it.
I'll send you payment after I withdraw the money.
Okay, I'll be leaving then.
- Thank you. - Okay, bye.
Over 20,000 yuan.
Xiao Han!
We don't owe each other anything from now on!
Xiao Han!
Hello, Captain Zheng. Did you receive the lecture materials?
Come to the office immediately.
Okay, I'll be there soon.
Captain, you're finally here.
Where have you been the past two days?
Sorry, Captain Zheng.
A lot has happened at home.
I know. Congratulations on suddenly having a son.
But how come I've also heard he's not yours?
Nothing stays a secret in our team.
I really did write the lecture. I sent it to your inbox an hour ago.
Training courses aren't over yet, right? Just save it as a backup.
It must be an unlucky year for me.
My house was flooded.
Then I was bitten by a dog.
I wasn't making up a story.
Don't worry, I've deeply reflected and acknowledged my mistakes.
I'm just waiting on my superiors to evaluate me.
Did you deal with your arm injury?
You just stuck a bandage on it and called it a day?
I really can't believe you. Why didn't you clean the dog bite immediately?
Do you want to be rabid when you're flying a plane?
Flying?
Will I get to resume flight earlier?
I just submitted your reinstatement. Now you get bitten by a dog.
Unbelievable.
Captain Zheng, about this matter...
I've really...
Sorry to put you through this trouble.
I'm already used to it.
You really put me in a tight spot.
Luckily, I usually read your novels
so I took your flight examples and incorporated them into my lecture.
The students really liked the new content.
You did make some contributions.
No, I didn't contribute anything. All the credit goes to you.
You're the team captain and have so many matters to attend to.
You still managed to squeeze out some time to do that.
You're so hardworking.
You're such a sweet talker when you need something.
Enough kissing up.
I know what you want.
I also want you to be reinstated as soon as possible.
I know keeping you off planes is worse than being in jail for you.
I just submitted the request and you get bitten by a dog. You--
I've been on a streak of bad luck. I've had endless problems. Don't ask.
Your character determines your fate.
Look at the other captains. They're always asking me for more work.
They take the toughest routes.
Don't worry. I'll talk less and work more from now on.
I won't cause you anymore trouble.
You're my supervisor but I'm your senior.
Just between us, let's remember that.
All right.
There's a gathering tonight of classmates from the flight academy.
Why don't you come and we can all catch up?
I don't think I should go.
I'm just a regular captain. You're all mid-level management.
It wouldn't be appropriate for me to attend.
Besides, I can't drink after getting the vaccine.
Look at how pathetic you are.
Come if you want.
There are a few people there who can vote on your reinstatement. Are you coming?
- I'll go. - Then don't be so self-centered.
Do some networking. We all have the same alma mater.
I've been worried sick over you every day.
Don't worry, I won't be self-centered.
I'll pretend to be a pushover tonight.
Let's go inside. It's raining.
I don't really understand. What do you mean by pushover?
Fine, I'll reword that. I'll be modest tonight. Okay?
You're no longer a rookie to the job.
You can't still be paying no heed to the school's regulations.
I know you have rather unique teaching methods.
You play English songs and American dramas
and even stage plays for the students in class.
I haven't interfered with that.
However, there are problems with your teaching.
How can other teachers take over your class?
How can your students adjust to other teachers' teaching methods?
Have you considered that?
I think it would be an honor for any teacher to take over our class.
You've been back in China for two years.
When are you going to change this personality of yours?
I've been living like this for over 20 years.
How can I just change?
All right, then explain to me.
Why did you leave without permission yesterday?
You left a class of students unattended.
You actually sneaked off from work.
I'm sorry. I was wrong to do that but I wasn't sneaking off from work.
A student in our class ran away from home.
I was worried he met with an accident so I left in a hurry to find him.
Then why didn't you alert the school? Let the school handle that for you.
You left without a word.
I'm also so close to your office. Why didn't you drop by to inform me?
You didn't even have time to do that?
- Busy day? - Hello, Captain Wu.
Xiao Han! Where were you?
Where did you come from?
I'm so sorry about yesterday.
Ms. Lin was there yesterday and saw the message you sent me.
I had no choice but to bring her along. She was just worried about you.
She even sprained her ankle.
Why didn't you answer my calls? Are you mad at me?
I'm not that petty.
My phone was out of battery and I didn't have a place to charge it.
Where did you stay last night? Did you get money?
It's a long story.
I just won't be going back to that house.
Wu Zheng doesn't want you?
It's okay. I'll take you in if he doesn't. Come live at my house.
Forget it.
You have exams soon.
Your mom's nerves must be stretched taut already.
You don't have to worry about my mom. It's really okay for you to stay with us.
My friends will always come first.
I think your mom should come first.
Your mom is the closest family you have in this world.
I don't have my mom anymore.
Treat your mom better. Stop making her mad all the time.
I also want to rely on myself more.
After all, there's nobody I can rely on anymore.
I'll have to feed and clothe myself.
It'll be great.
I'm sure you can support yourself.
But what about Oscar? Who will provide for him?
I found him a good home.
I gave him to someone else.
His new owner is quite nice and treats Oscar well.
Anyway, I was given some money so it was like a sale.
I gave half of the money to Wu Zheng as compensation for any damages.
The other half is for a place to stay.
I'll think about finding a job.
Anyway, I'll be all on my own from now on.
Morning.
Good morning, Teacher.
Okay. Last week, we went over a few extracts from "The Little Prince".
Let's continue from page 120.
Let's take a look at this section.
"And when your sorrow is comforted"
"time soothes all sorrows"
"you will be content that you have known me."
"And your friends will be properly astonished"
"to see you laughing as you look up at the sky."
"Then you will say to them"
"'Yes, the stars always make me laugh!'"
The prince used a year of his travels to teach us many things.
The author took 30 years of his reflections on emotions and life
and condensed them into a novel.
I still want to elaborate on this.
Please take a look at this text.
This section.
When life doesn't go the way we want, what should we do?
As your teacher, I'm a bit more experienced than you.
I can tell you that everyone needs to keep looking ahead
so that when you overcome the challenges in your life and look back
you'll know that.
Okay.
Next paragraph.
Xiao Han, let's talk.
Ms. Lin, I've already cut two days of school.
If this keeps up, my grades will continue to decline.
Then you'll not just be suspending my training.
You'll be suspending me from school.
Suspending your basketball training was my mistake.
I already apologized for that.
You're not holding a grudge, are you?
I'm not that sensitive.
Don't take it to heart.
I will try to talk to your coach about basketball practice
and see when you can resume.
It really doesn't matter. I don't want to go to practice anymore.
Whether you talk to him or not doesn't matter.
I'm going to go.
Xiao Han, where did you go last night?
Xiao Han.
Xiao Han, where were you all this time?
Tell me what this money is for and where you got it.
Oscar caused you trouble.
As his owner, I bear the responsibility.
This money is to compensate you. We don't owe each other anything from now on.
Compensate me? Do you think this is enough?
If it's not enough, I'll come up with more.
I can borrow money or something. I just don't want to owe you anything.
Let's not talk about who owes what.
Tell me where you got this money.
That's right. How could an underage child have so much money?
You even applied to work. What is going on?
The money was gained by honest means.
You're not my dad. Leave me alone.
Hold on.
You think you can just come and go like you're using a toilet?
What do you take me for? You think you can acknowledge me when it suits you?
Listen up. You're not going anywhere until you explain this money.
You're the one who doesn't want me!
You have the paternity test! Do you need me to spell it out for you?
Yes, I'm immature but I do know shame.
Xiao Han.
I didn't authorize the paternity test.
- I'll explain later. - Stop.
I thank you on behalf of my mom and myself.
Thank you.
- Can I leave now? - No.
Even if I'm not your real dad, I was still your mom's friend.
Can I ask you where you got this money?
All right, enough. Let Xiao Han go to class.
You can ask him about the money later.
Can this wait?
What if this money came from dishonest means?
What if he stole it? This is very important!
I believe in Xiao Han's character. He wouldn't do that.
The Chinese teacher has arrived. I have to go to class. You two can talk.
Hold on!
You're his teacher. Hold on.
I'll leave the money with you.
Why don't you ask him where he got the money?
This is your responsibility.
I have an English class I need to prepare for.
Wait, you...
Hold up!
Xiao Han.
Was that your dad at the entrance?
Is his conscience telling him to take you back?
Paternity test results are out.
He and I aren't related by blood.
You're kidding, right?
That's not possible. You two are so alike.
Your tempers flare in the exact same way.
Did he kick you out
as soon as he saw that the test results said you weren't related?
He didn't want to take me in to begin with.
Once the paternity test results were out
he had even more reason and every right to ask me to leave.
Most importantly...
he won't be burdened by me anymore.
It's okay.
What are you going to do from now on?
Students, class starts now.
You're a very interesting teacher.
You'll let this slide
but you'd come to my house to meddle with how I educate him.
This is school. Students are here to learn.
If you want to discipline your child, please do it at home.
Besides, you're not his guardian anymore.
I'm not his guardian but you're his teacher.
I don't care. This is yours now. You take care of it.
I didn't say this wasn't important.
But deal with it after Xiao Han gets out of class.
He'll talk when he wants to.
That might be too late. What if he did something bad?
These things have to be dealt with immediately.
How can a teacher be so irresponsible?
I'm irresponsible?
What did you say about me last time?
Leading the young astray.
I don't get it. You're the one who made Xiao Han run away from home.
How can you criticize others?
Let's stick to this matter. Don't change the subject.
If he did something bad to get this money and goes to jail
it has nothing to do with me.
I'll say that first.
Of course it doesn't.
Hasn't one paternity test already cleared you of all ties?
So what did you come to the school for?
Afraid of a guilty conscience?
Afraid you can't sleep at night?
I'm not prejudiced against you
because you were an irresponsible person to begin with.
See yourself out.
Please confirm the venue for tomorrow.
Okay.
- Have safety measures been inspected? - All fine.
Okay, got it.
Did you give this money to him?
What money? Give to whom?
Xiao Han. Didn't he see you last night? Did you give him this money?
What? Wasn't I with you last night?
I have a performance today so I came straight here. I haven't seen him.
Besides, would I not tell you if I heard from him?
You've seen Xiao Han?
He left this money at my door yesterday
and said this is to pay me back and we don't owe each other anymore.
That's very much your style.
Be honest with me. I've been pondering about it.
He can't get this much money from anybody else but you.
I really didn't give him this money.
No matter how difficult your life has been
have you ever asked me for money?
He's your son. He wouldn't borrow money from me either.
Mr. Shi, we're about to move to the car. Everybody's ready.
- Okay, I'll be right there. - Okay.
All right, I have to go. My people are waiting for me.
I'm not taking part in this business between you two.
It might be better to finish this subject before the school anniversary.
We already have a full course plan before the school anniversary.
It might be hard to incorporate that in.
How about...
- Before this weekend-- - Report.
Come in.
- Why don't we discuss this later? - Okay.
- Hello, Miss. - Hello.
Sit down.
Miss, Ke Man said you wanted to see me.
Xiao Han couldn't get any money because of me yesterday.
Did you secretly give him money later?
Miss, how would I have money?
You know my mom is restricting my finances and my thoughts.
Didn't I discuss it with you when he sent me the message?
You must know his situation after he ran away from home.
I don't know.
I saw his dad during lunch.
Is he taking Xiao Han home?
You're not exchanging information but want to fish information from me?
Answer my question first.
Did he tell you anything when he came in today?
He didn't tell me anything.
That's strange.
He didn't get any money yesterday
but he gave his dad a large sum of money this morning.
How did he get so much money in one night?
You really don't know anything?
Miss, I really don't know.
You're his best friend.
When he doesn't have money, he contacts you first.
How could you not know anything?
Think about it. I already betrayed him once.
Would he still think of me as his best friend?
That's impossible.
He must have slept somewhere last night.
Miss, I really don't know.
I'd tell you if I knew. Right?
Class is going to start soon. I'm going to go.
Hold on.
Don't run off.
Here. Give this back to your mom.
What is this? The money Xiao Han gave his dad?
Your mom slipped this into my bag yesterday.
I don't know when she did it.
Miss, you should get used to it. My mom is sneaky like that.
Tell her I really won't tutor you again if she keeps forcing money on me.
All right. I'm going to go now.
Okay, go to class.
I just want to know how trustworthy this paternity test is.
You needn't have any doubts.
Our forensic center has received CNAS approval and national certification.
We are an independent third-party forensic institution.
All our consultants are professional experts.
Our technology is held to the highest world standard.
We also have a perfect quality control system.
We have completed paternity tests for over 120,000 people.
I'm not exaggerating when I say there have been zero mistakes.
Do you still not find this reassuring?
That sounds very reassuring.
But look at the samples used.
They're a cigarette butt and a toothbrush.
I want to ask if these two samples can be reliable.
We carefully select our DNA samples
and try our best to preserve the accuracy of the samples.
We typically take about three to five samples from cigarette butts.
They must be DNA left from a recent smoke, dry, and free from ash.
Recent?
Could it be from two months prior?
No.
I also have a memory of this sample.
I'm the one who received the samples when they were delivered.
That's why I'm sure they were recently-smoked cigarettes.
I knew this was unreliable.
All right, I got it. Sorry about this.
Sir, if you disagree with the paternity test results
you can apply for a retest.
It's free of charge. You can apply for it at any time.
We save the samples for one month.
After one month, we handle the samples at our discretion.
You can throw them out. Let me tell you this.
That's not my cigarette butt.
