[Episode 19]
- Okay. - Okay.
Before start checklist.
Flight deck door?
Closed and locked.
- Passenger signs? - Off.
MCP, V2, heading, altitude.
Check.
Okay.
What has Ms. Lin done? Why are you lodging a complaint against her?
Ms. Lin was not fair and impartial when handling Xiao Han's physical altercation.
I think Mr. Zhou is being rather polite.
Ms. Lin Xiao Ou is ethically lacking, morally corrupt
and she pays no heed to students' physical and mental well-being.
Mrs. Zhou, that is a rather severe claim.
The school has always hired teachers through a rigorous selection process.
A morally corrupt person couldn't be a teacher here.
Could it be that you have some misunderstanding?
I'm not mistaken about her.
On the issue of teenager's young love, she should provide extra guidance.
She doesn't!
On the contrary, she relishes students' infatuation with her.
Is that not considered morally corrupt?
A teacher's duty is to impart knowledge and dispel uncertainties.
She not only doesn't dispel uncertainties
but even intentionally confuses her students.
That is wrong!
Don't fret. I'll call her into the office right now.
We'll speak about this with her.
Ms. Wang, is Ms. Lin Xiao Ou there?
She didn't come in. Didn't she request time off from you?
I'm substituting for her today.
Okay, I understand.
I'm sorry, Ms. Lin took time off for something.
I'll contact you as soon as she returns.
We'll have a frank and open discussion. All right?
Principal, we already know where Ms. Lin went.
Final exams are coming up.
She abandoned her students to travel abroad.
That is a lack of responsibility.
- Right? - That's correct.
She has not been the least bit concerned about the attack on my child
let alone uphold justice.
I heard from Ms. Lin that
you had no more objections to this matter.
My child's return to school
does not mean we are no longer pursuing the matter.
We don't want the money.
This isn't a matter of money.
It is the nature and attitude with which it is handled.
Mr. Zhou, judging from what the principal said
he's clearly going to side with Lin Xiao Ou.
What are we going to do next?
He does not have absolute authority over the school.
I will pressure him through other means.
Oh, yes! I forgot you are a board member of the school council!
Okay, then. I'll contact other parents to gather support for you.
Good. We'll attack them from both sides.
We can certainly get rid of a mere teacher.
Are you Xiao Ou?
Yes, I am. You are...
I am Ye Xin's classmate. We've met before. Do you remember?
- You remember now? - Hello!
Are you looking for Ye Xin?
Yes. Do you know where he is?
I haven't seen Ye Xin in two days.
If you need, I can take you to his advisor. He might know.
That would be great. Please do.
- This way. - Okay.
He was supposed to see me to discuss his essay this week
but then he canceled and asked me to reschedule to next week.
So do you know what he had to do?
I don't know what he had to do.
It's okay. Thank you.
So, uh... Do you know where Ye Xin is?
I'm not sure. Didn't he come today?
Have you seen him recently?
No. I sent him a message the other day but he didn't reply.
I don't know what he's been busy with.
- That's okay. Thank you. - No worries.
Excuse me, sir. Do you know where the tenant of this house is?
I'm sorry, I have no idea.
Thank you.
I do not recommend you wait here.
I saw them putting luggage in the car this morning and drive off.
I think they went on a trip or something.
Thank you so much.
Wow! It's so beautiful!
I have to take a picture first.
Do you like it?
I love it!
This place is hard to book. I only got a room through someone I know.
Thank you, Ye Xin.
I'm glad you like it.
Oh, right. Do you want to check out the upstairs?
I'll do that right now!
Let's take a selfie.
Your face will look big because you're in front.
That's okay. I can edit it.
Hello.
Xiao Ou...
How did you...
I am simple
but I'm not stupid.
Since you won't see me...
then I'll come to you.
Ye Xin, I edited the photo!
Did you post it on social media and made it visible to my sister?
I haven't posted it yet.
Is it Xiao Ou?
Don't bother asking.
I checked your credit card statement.
Thank you for leaving the password as my birthday.
Xiao Ou.
I am at fault here. Let's part on good terms.
Sure.
But before we part, you have to man up
look into my eyes and tell me why.
Let's leave. Go to another hotel and use your credit card.
I don't mind switching hotels.
But are you that afraid of her?
I'm not afraid of her.
I was with her for over six years. I know her personality.
I don't want to turn it into an awkward and ugly breakup.
I'm sorry.
I put you in such a difficult position.
But we can't keep avoiding her.
How about this? I'll go see her and explain to her.
If she's angry, I'll let her curse at me and hit me as she wants.
No, no.
Shan Shan, this isn't your fault.
I'm the one who has done wrong.
I didn't properly deal with the relationship
and it's been unfair to you.
I'm sorry.
Give me some time to think of a way to fix this.
I don't mind feeling wronged.
I just don't want you to be unhappy.
I know.
Ms. Wang is making you write another self-reflection report?
I heard Wang Yi Fu's dad came to the school this morning.
Wang Yi Fu? He already came back. I thought this whole matter was over.
Don't worry.
Ms. Lin came to me early on to ask about what happened.
I will testify for you. It'll all be okay.
Ms. Lin still isn't back.
Things aren't looking too good.
Isn't it too sunny for you guys? Hurry back to class.
What about you?
I like the sun.
We'll head back.
- Bye. - Bye.
Mr. Wu, how do you like Australia?
I feel good and I really love it here.
Excellent, because you did very well on
both the written and operations portions of the examination
and we want you to be a part of our airline company.
It's a big honor to be a part of Ao Da Airlines.
Excellent. We look forward to working with you soon.
Thank you.
- Hello? - So have you seen my brother yet?
Not yet, but soon.
He packed his luggage and left early in the morning.
What?
That Ye Xin.
He didn't leave Sydney.
He's staying at a hotel just to avoid me.
No wonder I haven't been able to reach them.
He's gone too far.
I'm sorry I have a brother like this, Xiao Ou.
You're not your brother.
What are you going to do?
It's almost time for your return flight.
Postpone it for me.
I have to at least see Ye Xin and make things clear.
If he's determined to avoid you, how are you going to find him?
I'm at the door of his hotel room.
Look! Look at this.
They're so talented!
In comparison, your classmate's wedding pictures aren't as creative.
When we get married, why don't we hire them to draw us?
Okay.
The drawings do look very nice.
Yes, they're so amazing.
In terms of marketing, we've decided on local advertising and signage.
Town billboards and traditional flyers will need to match with our posters.
Whose phone is that? Put it on silent.
Whose is it?
How annoying.
Take notes.
What's up? What's this international call for?
- Hello, Shi Fei, you-- - Did they dismiss you?
Come back if you have nothing to do. Nobody will laugh at you.
I excelled at the written and operations exams.
They want me for sure.
So you called to show off.
No wonder you've forgotten to come home.
Listen to me. This call concerns your life's happiness. Pay attention.
What's going on? Explain.
Lin Xiao Ou is being cheated on!
She's definitely getting dumped. You had better jump on this chance.
You ran into her?
No way. Sydney is so big. You actually ran into her?
She's here?
Didn't she promise to look after Xiao Han in Beijing?
She said she's going to Australia to catch the cheater
and took time off from school.
Wait, did you really see her?
I'm not so unlucky that I'd run into her.
I saw her boyfriend.
He was with a woman and they looked intimate.
Something's definitely up.
Is... that true?
Then what I've been dreaming of every day has become reality!
They were about to get married.
Make use of this chance.
Listen to me. Comfort her when she returns. Understand?
Fill up that void.
Bro, how's this? Do me another favor.
Go find those two people, take a picture, and send it to me.
Then I'll send it to Lin Xiao Ou and she'll give up once and for all.
You want me to be paparazzo?
Bro, we've been buddies for 30 years.
Besides, your son is in my care.
Fine.
Take care of Xiao Han for me.
I can't talk now. I have to catch him in the act.
Remember him? Have you seen him nearby?
You've really noticed a problem?
What do you mean?
You saw him, didn't you?
Was there a woman with him?
Did you cross the ocean to catch a cheater?
That's at such a high cost. Was that necessary?
Hello?
Xiao Ou, where are you? Did you find him?
They weren't in their hotel room.
I'm searching in the downtown area nearby but I haven't found them yet.
Someone told me they'll be attending a colleague's wedding today.
Okay, send me the address.
Hey, wait.
You left your students to catch a cheater across the ocean. Is that appropriate?
Does it look like I'm having the time of my life?
Very much so.
I just have one question.
Is everything okay between Xiao Han and Wang Yi Fu now?
I wouldn't have left if I hadn't taken care of that matter.
Stop wasting my time. Move aside.
Ye Xin, it looks like you're next.
Do us laboratory scientists proud!
It looks like you found the right girl.
Ye Xin, say yes! She's awesome.
Today is Wilson and Peggy's big day, not ours.
So I think it's too early to talk about this.
Shan Shan, I think we haven't been together for very long
so it might be a bit early to talk about this.
I don't think love comes too early or too late.
It comes when it wants.
Since everybody is here today, I hope they can be our witnesses.
My dream was once to be a scholar
but after meeting you, I now have a new dream.
Now, I just want to be with you forever.
Ye Xin, you won't be much of a man if you don't reply to that.
Girl, throw me the bouquet. I'll be your groom.
Xiao Ou.
This...
This is a wedding.
Let's keep this civil, okay?
Not okay.
She proposed to you at someone's wedding.
So why can't I talk about our breakup with you here?
Xiao Ou, it's all my fault.
I fell for Ye Xin first. It's not his fault.
If you want to take it out on someone, come at me.
Don't give him a hard time. I'm sorry--
You're so stupid...
to let go of a wonderful woman like me.
Sorry to interrupt, everybody.
We hope you have a beautiful day. Sorry!
Hold up.
Don't go over there.
Let them talk it out.
You'll only be complicating things.
No, don't.
I'm just taking a seat.
Sit down.
I just have one question.
In your mind...
what does the relationship we've had for years mean to you?
Does it really mean less to you than
the several dozen days you've been with her?
I also want to ask you.
In your mind, what am I to you?
I'm never going to be as important as your job, students, and dreams.
I feel as if my existence is one you can do without.
You don't care about this relationship
and you couldn't possibly sacrifice anything for me.
You know that's not true.
Why must love be measured by
who is willing to make more sacrifices and more compromises?
Besides, I already have plans to move here to be with you after the semester.
What more do you want me to do?
Apart from this one time...
Apart from this one time
when else have you been willing to give up everything for our relationship?
Xiao Ou, I actually never expected you would buy a plane ticket and fly here.
But it's too late.
When I needed you the most, you always made me wait and wait.
Wang Shan is different.
She makes me the center of her world. I am everything to her.
She can't live without me.
She can't live without you.
Then how did she survive the 20-plus years before she met you?
Can we not blame others for our issues?
Even without Wang Shan, there would've been other girls.
Xiao Ou, think about it. I've been in Australia for over two years.
The total time we've been together is less than the time I've been with her.
A relationship requires time spent together.
You're the one who pushed me into her arms.
Ye Xin.
Remember every word you said today.
We're not seeing each other ever again.
Seeing me get dumped...
must've been a pleasure for you to watch.
I ruined your passport and broke your sunglasses.
You must feel so satisfied.
Laugh if you want.
Don't hold it in.
What do you mean by satisfied?
Seeing what you experienced today made me feel...
Let me share my humble opinion.
Relationships can't be forced. Break up when it's not working out.
Besides, you broke up with a real jerk.
Hi.
- What can I get you? - Long Island, three.
Are you sure?
Then make it five.
You got it.
Don't sit next to me. I get so annoyed seeing you.
Three hours left until I leave for the airport.
I'm not going back to my room. I'll keep you company instead.
Who wants your company?
Words at parting come from the heart.
The bad blood between us will be gone soon.
What do you mean?
I'll be honest with you. I came to Australia for a job interview.
I might be living here permanently in the future.
What about Xiao Han?
He'll come with me. I'll find a new school for him here.
That would be good.
A new environment might be good for him.
But please treat him nicely. You're the only family he has left.
You seem to treat him well. I'll give you some advice before I leave.
Aside from our parents, nobody else in this world is irreplaceable.
You can survive any breakup.
The universe is vast.
We are nothing but a speck of dust.
There's no relationship that is worth our sacrifice.
There's more.
The difficulties and troubles you encounter aren't a big deal.
You're just mired in them
and worrying about troubles of your own imagination.
No matter what happens, treat yourself first
and then everything will be better the next day.
Drink your own.
Take it easy.
Long Island iced tea packs a punch.
Okay, fine. Don't drink just to spite me. Slow down.
- Uncle Shi, how come you're here? - Stand up straight!
Relax.
How come you're back so late?
I was on a date with a pretty girl.
- Is she beautiful? - I'm kidding!
Let's go eat dinner. Where do you want to eat?
I already ate.
You ate already?
I'm hungry. You sure know how to take care of yourself.
Are you here to promote your own interests?
Did my teacher send you?
No, wait. She's not even back yet.
Can't I come to see you?
Come on.
Your dad and teacher aren't around. You must be happy about that.
It's all right. I don't really go anywhere.
I've just been going to school and back home. It's boring.
Has the fight incident died down?
You know about that?
You're quite competent at being a substitute father.
I was just an adolescent not too long ago. I can understand.
Teenagers are full of energy.
When I was your age, I was more notorious than you.
I didn't have grades as good as you do but I caused more trouble than you did.
You didn't get good grades in school?
I was average.
I really can't tell.
I'll have to be more like you from now on.
Average educational background and average grades
but still highly competent.
You say much better things than your dad.
My dad graduated from college while you didn't go to college.
What's he doing now?
He's an airline captain and conscientiously flying a plane every day.
His nose is to the grindstone but he doesn't earn much.
Now look at you. You watch aunties dance every day.
It has dawned on me that education isn't the only path.
There are many other choices. I'm going to choose my own path.
What do you mean?
I mean I want to take a different path.
Wait up.
How is an education useless?
I might be watching aunties dance every day
but I'm in business school right now.
Don't talk to me about that.
You think I don't know what business school is for?
What do you successful people want an MBA degree for?
You're spending the money on connections and a diploma.
One more thing.
Fork out loads of money to hook and bait a future husband.
Am I right?
What's right about that?
You have incorrect views!
Who taught you that?
You have to go to school!
Don't assume I don't know anything.
You can find all the answers online.
People say society is the best school.
That's why I should make a change
and go out into society to learn something.
Stop that thought. Don't you go on about that with me.
You're going to school. Got it?
Okay, okay, okay.
I came to tell you
I'm going to a last-minute performance in Fengcheng tomorrow.
You'll be on your own for a day. Will that be a problem?
Of course not! I'm all grown up.
You already came to check in on me. I'll be fine.
I'll stress this again.
Even if you want to act out, you can do it when you're not in my charge.
Got it?
Stop nagging. I got it! Sir, you can stop giving me orders.
How come you're turning into Wu?
How am I like your dad? He's an auntie in menopause.
I'm taking off now.
Hey! When are you going to Fengcheng?
Tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. I can't take you to school.
Okay.
8:30 a.m.
Listen up! Lock the door.
- Okay. - Call me if you need anything.
Bye bye!
8:30 a.m.
Three more, please.
You're drinking it like water. You can't keep this up.
I have to catch a flight. How can I leave like this?
So leave. I didn't ask you to stay with me.
You're drunk in a foreign land.
Do you have any of that teacher's dignity left?
Stop using my identity as a teacher to hold me in check.
I am a heartbroken young woman today!
Yes, you're a heartbroken young woman today.
I'm afraid you'll become a delinquent young woman today.
How am I delinquent?
I don't steal or rob. I conduct myself honorably.
Do you think I'll succumb to vices just because I was dumped?
That I can't get back up after I've fallen?
You really underestimate me.
I shouldn't be reasoning with a female alcoholic.
Female alcoholic? You're a male alcoholic.
You're a bastard with rotten luck, a greedy bastard...
a bastard with a short life...
The selfish and heartless bastard who dumped an innocent girl!
Quiet, quiet.
Hey. Real women don't cry easily. That's how the saying goes.
I'm crying for my six years.
Don't cry. Six years. It's just six years.
Six years is not too bad. I'm serious.
You found out his true colors in six years.
If it took you a lifetime after getting married to see he was a jerk
that would've been called tragic.
Right? Plus, you're only in your twenties. You're still young.
You have at least 10 more of these six-year periods ahead of you.
But those were the best six years of my life.
Who says your best years are in your twenties?
I don't think so.
I think it's when you're at least 45.
That's when you know what you want, you are wise
and you have life experience.
That's when your life comes to a crescendo.
Men and women aren't the same.
You're even more wrong there.
How are men and women different?
And you know what? I wouldn't even want to talk to most girls in their twenties.
Stop mocking young women.
They would turn their noses up at you.
There's nobody I can depend on.
Yes, you don't, but you have to see if they're worth depending on.
Take the boyfriend you just broke up with today.
He's too young and can't be depended on.
Sometimes, classic older men like us are the best.
You're reading too much into this.
Even if I've been dumped, I wouldn't run to you.
I wasn't talking about me.
Shi Fei.
Shi Fei. I think he's a great choice.
You keep the tips.
Thanks.
- Thank you. - Take care.
Why are you so annoying?
I want to sleep!
Knock it off.
Stop it.
Why are you still here?
All men are terrible!
Stop pushing. I'm helping you to your room.
Go away!
All right, let's--
This is big trouble.
This is a special art treasure.
This sculpture is worth thousands of dollars.
I know. I'm so sorry.
Stay still.
Uh... She's drunk and I'll take her to her room first.
I will be back to pay for this.
I will pay for this.
Mister, wait for me. I promise.
Come on.
You look petite.
But you weigh a ton.
What kind of poor taste does Shi Fei have?
How could he like this?
Water...
- What? - Water.
Hold on.
Here.
Water.
