The Way We Were
Episode 34
We both clearly know that
they are very outstanding.
Moreover, they are always together. They get along, will be attracted to each other
and eventually end up together.
Isn't this a beautiful thing?
Aren't you jealous or sad?
Do I still have the rights?
So, you transferring to another college, it's just for out-of-sight, out-of-mind?
My departure...
will give everyone a new start.
It's also for myself.
Sis, I'm not a saint. I'm going to look for them in LA now.
They went to LA?
Yes. Xiao Qing's room mate told me about it.
It's none of my business wherever they go. I don't want to know too.
Sis, you are really something. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to take it.
I'm going to censure and curse them in their faces.
What rights do you have to do that?
I don't have the rights. You can always go with me.
Cheng Ran.
When I personally witnessed Shu Che kissing Xiao Qing, I was thinking,
to hell with rationale and manners.
I wanted to set aside my pride to hit and curse them.
- You should have done that! - What will happen after that?
Whether they will be together in the future or not,
my relationship with Shu Che
ended because of this unbearable ugly plan.
When I later thought about our current situation,
it was because of this unbearable ending
which toppled everything that was perfect.
I don't want it to be this way.
All my happiness, joy, anger and sorrows with Shu Che
are beautiful memories in my heart.
I don't want to destroy them.
That day,
someone made me realized something.
When you love someone, you don't to seize to get him.
Your love for him,
good or bad,
whether he loves you or not,
there is no connection at all.
Your love for him will make him feel the warmth
and let you become a better person.
This is a kind of good love.
Even, if, eventually, he still doesn't fall in love with you,
you alone have loved completely.
I still remember what he said to me.
It's good enough that I enjoyed it.
Whether there is hope or not, it's not important
because...
all deep love.
is completed by oneself.
We are finally in LA.
This is a confession place.
If you like anyone in your heart, you bring him here and confess to him.
The person whom I like, is here.
Can I confess to him?
If he's not here,
your wish for him will come true too.
God, can you hear my wish?
Don't let him know that I like him.
These lamp posts is the landmark of LA County Art Museum.
It's called "Urban Light".
Urban Light?
That's right.
Come, let me take a photo of you.
- It's so beautiful. - You should shoot the lamps first.
Let's shoot the lamps first. Go over there. Get ready.
Hi.
Good night -Good night.
Anything's up?
Nothing.
Good night -Good night.

See? That is exactly what's hindering your heart.
Because Shu Che is outstanding, therefore you don't dare to think that he might like you.
But you've already fell for him since ages ago, right?
Shu Che
Missed Call Shu Che
Xiao Qing, the overseas studies investigation's bus is here to pick me up.
I've left the keys at the reception. You can pick it up when you wake up.
Once you've decided where to go, message me.
Also don't forget, breakfast is till ten.
See you tonight. Shu Che.
Front Desk.
102? Very well. Thank you.
Probably in five minutes.
Hi, I want to check out. -Hi.
Oh you're leaving?
Yes, I'm going back to San Francisco right now.
Okay.
Your friend left this key for you.
I don't need it anymore.
Please give the key back to him when he comes back here tonight.
Okay. Thank you.
Sorry, Shu Che. The firm suddenly notified me to go back to work.
I'm unable to remain in LA with you.
Thank you for arranging the holiday even if it was only for a day,
Have a safe trip.
Didn't you tell me that you would be on vacation for four days in LA? Why did you come back in just a day?
I suddenly had to do some things.
Suddenly had to do something? I think there is definitely a problem.
Let me ask you. What happened last night?
Nothing happened.
Did you try to get intimate with him or vice versa?
None of us did that. We slept on different beds.
Okay then. Let me tell you, when a single male and female go on vacation together,
the chemistry in the atmosphere will change.
There is a kind of deterioration in friendship.
Did you realize that? That's why you fled?
What do you mean? I'm solid. This friendship will not deteriorate. I'm going to shower.
Let's see how long you are going to lie to yourself.
These are the desserts you ordered. Do you need anything else?
No. Thank you. Bye.
What a coincidence.
By the way, I texted your sister. She didn't reply.
Why are you looking for her?
Nothing's up. But what has she been busy with lately?
She's busy with the transferring of college.
Transferring of college? Where is she transferring to?
The east.
Why?
You really don't know anything?
I didn't know. Why is she transferring to another college?
It's better that you ask her.
Miao Ying, you are here too?
I bumped into Cheng Ran a few days ago. He said that you are transferring to a college in the east.
That's right.
It's such a major thing. Why didn't I hear you mention about it?
I didn't tell anyone.
Is it because you are avoiding Shu Che?
Yes.
How are things between the both of you?
Me?
Aren't the both of you together every day?
Other than attending lectures, we haven't really seen each other.
Aren't the both of you already together?
Didn't the both of you took leave and went on a vacation together?
We didn't specifically went there on vacation.
It's because I found him a job for investigation of overseas studies.
In order to thank me. he gave me a lift to LA for a few days.
But when I arrived there, my firm called to advise that's work to do.
I left on the second day and came back here.
You have really misunderstood me.
What about him kissing you then? Was that also my misunderstanding?
What?
Do you really not know or are you faking it?
When we arranged to meet that night about recommending a job to Shu Che,
you later told me that you had to pick up a friend at the airport.
The other party's flight was delayed and you changed the appointment date with me.
But you didn't tell me that Shu Che was the friend you were picking up.
I waited the whole night at the entrance of Shu Che's home. Subsequently, you came back together with Shu Che.
He kissed you in the car.
Miao Ying, I really didn't know.
What didn't you know?
You didn't know that he kissed you and that the both of you are together every day?
If you really like Shu Che, you should be honorable and tell me about it. I can accept it.
And not secretly see him behind my back. Okay?

If you really like Shu Che, you should be honorable and tell me about it. I can accept it.
And not secretly see him behind my back. Okay?
I really didn't imagine that,
in Miao Ying's eyes, I'm someone,
who lies, conceals and does things behind her back.
What do you mean by someone who lies and two-faced?
Xiao Qing. It's not your problem that Miao Ying misunderstood you. Stop blaming yourself.
Moreover, the both of them have already split up.
They have the rights and freedom to love someone else.
That shouldn't be me.
If...
If I really fall in love with Shu Che,
I will only hurt Miao Ying.
If I lose a friendship because of love,
I would rather not have that love in the first place.
If there is a switch to control love towards people,
then there won't be terms like uncontrollable and helpless.
They have already broken up.
Shu Che didn't marry Miao Ying, nor are you married.
You two can date righteously.
Miao Ying is not your obstacle, your obstacle is yourself.
Then what do you want to do?
Don't tell me you're break off the relationship with Shu Che.
I already know that what I want from you in regards to the upcoming investigation is
to deepen my understanding of Chinese companies.
Chinese people, how they think. The non-spoken rules, right?
Professor Anderson says that you come from Yan Zhou China, is that correct?
Yes.
That's also a part of a reason why I decided to hire you.
I don't understand, is that important?
I was recently contacted by a well-known enterprise.
They asked me to lead an internal investigation on a department there.
They suspect that they maybe in violation of FCPA, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
Now, the headquarters of this particular department is located Yan Zhou China.
So you're familiar with Yan Zhou is a great value to me.
That's why I've asked you to assist me with this case.
However, if our investigation should include a relative or a close friend of yours,
you'll be required to maintain absolute secrecy about your work.
Even if your best friend were involved as the target of this investigation.
You wouldn't be allowed to breathe a single word of your work to anyone.
You wouldn't allowed to bring a single thread of your personal feelings into this investigation.
Just tell me directly. I can have you transfer to another department. Do you understand?
Yes, I promise. I will always be professional and ethical.
You're welcome to MTA.
Hope you make a strong show and your personal strengths and values to us.
Thank you so much.
MTA Law Firm
Hi.
Am I misunderstanding?
Are you purposely trying to avoid me?
Yes.
Reason?
Because,
I don't want us to progress unclearly anymore.
Have we been unclear between each other?
I really want to know what you mean by unclear.
I like you.
But this is wrong. I hate myself for being like this.
You like me? When did it start?
It's not important for when I started liking you.
The important thing is that I want to immediately end it now.
That's a bit unfair.
I didn't even know when you started liking me, and now you're telling me that you want to end it.
Then how do you want to end it?
To stop contacting each other?
The reason?
Because of Miao Ying.
So...
Let it be.
You're not a bit curious to how I feel?
I want to ask you,
that night when I went to pick you up at the airport after you have completed the overseas studies investigation tour in LA,
You... did you kiss me?
Miao Ying saw it at the scene.
She is going to change university and leave here.
She doesn't want to face you, nor does she want to face me.
But even like this, she never criticised us.
Instead, I was denying in front of her that we were constantly together.
I feel really bad.
Therefore, I don't want to continue like this.
Bye.
Sis, about your application for the college transfer and major,
did Harvard give you a reply?
No.
The chances aren't that high anyway.
Harvard Research College doesn't accept transfer students.
If you pass the interview for Columbia Business College,
Then go to New York.
That's right.
No matter what, as long as it's not here will do.
San Francisco
You two don't need to accompany me, I'll go in myself.
Bye bye.
Sister, I wish you a rough interview, and not passing it.
Safe travel.
I'm leaving.
Bye bye.
The expenses there is too high.
Hard to find housing and jobs.
W-what?
Let's go.
Sit wherever.
Sit.
Which one do you want?
Any is fine. I'll take this.
Why are you looking at me like this?
Have you thought well where you want to go?
Not yet.
I know where you are going.
I don't even know, how would you know?
Where my sister goes, you'll follow.
What kind of logic is that?
Just then at the airport, said something along the line
"The price of living in New York is expensive,
hard to find housing and jobs."
Yes, thats right.
What I said is true.
All those issues are not what my sister should worry on.
Rather, what you should worry on.
Have a think, if you leave for New York, how am I supposed to survive?
Actually, when you came to America I started to doubt you.
Did you come here because of my sister?
It turned out to be what I expected.
You're crazier than I thought.
Because you're going to go to New York for my sister.
To be honest, before meeting you,
I've experienced many hardships.
Being destitute and homeless, starving, roughing it out there,
shooting and robbing.
Buddy, you have nine lives.
It's true, I'm not exaggerating a bit.
That's why I'm thankful towards you.
Although I walked on the wrong path, but at least I'm worry-free.
So many times...
So many times when I couldn't withstand it anymore.
I couldn't even afford to buy a plane ticket to return home.
So many times...
I was thick-skinned and just continued staying here.
My existence to her means nothing.
It just had to be at this time that she had to encounter this with Shu Che.
Then do you think that you'll have a chance now?
So you decided to stay?
No, I've never thought that I will have a chance.
When did you started secretly liking my sister?
Shu Che asked me the same thing.
He also knows?! -Yes.
Because your sister is getting married, I secretly came here to the US and didn't tell anyone.
The first person to know I came here was Shu Che.
He knows that you started liking my sister back in Qing Hua university?
