[The Way We Were]
[Episode 23]
Sometimes, I even could stand on Cheng Wei's point of view to understand his logic.
As a businessman, just to look for power to rent,
to look for all possible wayss and opportunities,
being unscrupulous to make everyone become
a pawn that he can use.
But I...really couldn't accept...
...that her, the person that I love the most, was being used and manipulated by others.
She became her father's public relations door knocker
and a cover-up wall.
I...really couldn't accept that Miao Ying got involved in this, while I...
...was still kept in the dark.
What do they all treat me as?
Shu Che, while everything hasn't been clearly investigated yet,
all your conclusions will just hurt yourself and others.
It's better that you look for a chance to have a good talk with Miao Ying.
You must be calm. Don't be impulsive.
Am I being impulsive?
Before I went back, I admit
that I was indeed very impulsive.
But now, I'm very calm.
I had never been this calm.
Thanks.
Shu Che.
Thank you for your trust.
Don't worry. I will keep your secret.
I will put your words into heart.
I still want to say that you are a very unique person.
What do you mean?
Whether with the relationship of your father and her father,
or with how her father cared about you,
other people will just treat it as just right and proper.
Right and proper...
Whose right? Whose proper?
- Goodbye. - Bye.
♫ Giving you my shoulders one more time ♫
♫ Grabbing hope one more time ♫
♫ Even if you knew the truth ♫
♫ Even if avoid it and refuse to think about it ♫
♫ I stored you inside time ♫
♫ I placed you inside despair ♫
♫ This sorrow that's etched in my heart ♫
♫ This confusion that can't be concealed ♫
♫ It's love that gave me strength ♫
- I'm home. - Hello. - Hi.
♫ It's love, love, love ♫
♫ Guarding by my side ♫
♫ Can't imagine anymore ♫
♫ Losing you wounded me ♫
♫ Like a lonely wandering soul in the wilderness ♫
[Are you two fine?]
♫ Can't pretend anymore ♫
♫ Hugging you tightly and not letting go ♫
♫ Love can only continue to grow in your embrace ♫
[When I came home...]
♫ Not forgetting ♫
[When I came home, she has left. She took her clothes and stuff with her.]
Ning Ming?!
It's really you!
I didn't dare to identify if it's you while I was back there earlier.
You came to the US too?
Yes.
Were you playing the ocarina to earn money?
I initially didn't plan to and was just playing it for fun,
but they started giving me money and I was too embarrassed to refuse it.
When did you learn to play the ocarina? You can play very well.
This song was my favorite tune to play during college. Do you remember?
How could I forget it?
My first time hearing an ocarina tune was you playing this song.
It's with your influence that I started liking it and playing it.
Hey, the ocarina in your hand...
...is very similar to that one that I lost.
Really? I only picked this up.
I remembered that I asked you if you've picked up by ocarina, and you said you didn't.
Oh, right.
This one... Maybe...
Can you let me see it?
Okay.
M See, this is definitely my ocarina.
The letter M is written on it.
I'm sorry. The one I picked up is yours.
How about this? I'll wipe it off for you.
No problem, no problem.
I'll just buy a new one. This one, I give to you.
Okay.
Thank you. Now, I can continue using it to earn money,
How come your carrying luggage about this late at night?
Are you leaving home or going home?
What's the matter?
Use this to wipe. . .
No need, no need, no need. It doesn't matter.
Are you too cold?
I really don't need it; I really don't; I really don't.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
I've heard it said that if you eat something sweet, you can become a bit happier.
It's too cold.
Oh, I"m sorry.
Hi. Hi
Uh, I want this . . . and this.
Ok.
This isn't cold. I'll eat this.
Let me give you this scarf. You don't need to give it to me.
I've got too many clothes on. You put it on.
I'm really not cold.
I haven't seen you in 6 months,
This time I see you and you see me in this state. I'm sorry.
Being seen by me is way better than you crying all alone.
Why haven't you asked me why I'm like this?
If you want to tell me, then tell me. If you don't, don't.
If you want me to be here, I'll stay here and keep you company.
If you don't want me here, I'll go.
You being here is great.
I sometimes think . . .
If I weren't who I am, and he wasn't who he is,
Would we be happier?
But only him...can make you feel blissful in love.
It might be that he has already begun to doubt
if being loved by me is happiness.
If he doubts,
then he isn't worthy of your love.
Eat something.
Ning Ming,
Do you have a girlfriend?
I still don't.
After graduation, I remember, I asked you
if you'd met a girl that you'd fallen in love with.
In these 4 years,
Have you met a girl that made you fall in love?
If you can't give happiness to the one you love
there isn't any point to that love.
That's why, let's leave it like that.
You never have met someone?
I've met someone . . .
But she isn't my girlfriend.
I'd really like to know
what kind of love was it then.
It was a...hopeless love.
Hopeless love.
Do you think this answer is too odd?
Hopeless love . . .
deserves to be forever kept in your heart.
You're a good person. You deserve a perfect love.
Find someone who can love you well.
It's doesn't matter.
Enjoying it is good enough. Hopeless or not hopeless isn't that important.
Because, all deep love
are completed by oneself.
What's the matter?
It's ok, ok, ok.
Did I say something wrong?
I'm sorry, I . . .
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I don't know how to cook chicken soup
and I can't comfort; I even made your cry.
I don't need comforting words
Your calm accompanying me; listening to me,
This is the best comfort for me.
If you need it,
After this, I can often keep you company.
Often . . .
How long are you staying in the United States?
How long am I staying,
I stay any amount of time. I am flexible.
What did you come to the United States for?
You didn't come to return my ocarina?
It could be.
Be honest. What did you come to the United States for?
I also came to study abroad.
Really? Really.
At what school?
Francisco College.
You're at the same school as my brother!
What a coincidence.
Didn't you orignially say . . .
that your family couldn't afford to send you abroad to study?
Yes. I got a full scholarship.
What do you do about living expenses?
Living expenses?
I shouldn't pry into your private matters.
It's doesn't matter.
I know you're asking me so much because you're concerned for me.
I have to struggle for my living expenses.
Part-time work, performances - didn't you just see that?
Wow - that's amazing.
That's great. From now on, can I come see you often?
Whenever you want. Come whenever you want, I'll never send you away.
The way I see it, this is the best news I got today.

Let me help you.
No problem. I got it.
I'm home.
It's here?
Wow, it's big.
How about you come in and sit down. If my brother is here, I can introduce you. You're classmates.
There's no need. It's too late.
You go back and rest early. I'll go back now.
Do you live at the school?
I . . . I live near the school.
I'll drive you back. No, no, no need.
It's . . . It's very convenient to take the bus.
I'll get going, then. Bye bye.
Ning Ming. Huh?
I'll give your scarf back. Thank you for today.
You accompanying me - my mood is much better.
If you need me, I can come every day.
I'm going - bye, bye.
Bye bye.
What are you doing here?
What's going on?
I'm not leaving!
I'm staying for you!
Sister, what's going on with you and Shu Che?
Nothing.
There's nothing and yet, you've come home with luggage.
Are you 2 playing hide-and-seek?
What does our business have to do with you?
What do you me, not my business. You're my sister. Of course your business concerns me.
Has Shu Che mistreated you?
Or could it be that you mistreated him, and you've run away so you don't get in trouble?
Right now, I'm not in the mood to spar with you.
Something definitely happened!
Yes.Something happened, something big happened.
So big that there's no way to resolve it.
No way to resolve it? That serious?
What's the problem?
What about your one hundred thousand?
I'm your brother. What's wrong with being concerned about you?
Talk to me. Don't let it weigh on your heart. Maybe I can help you come up with some ideas.
What use is there in telling you?
Talking to you will just make it more confused.
Things between us two, we'll resolve on our own.
No one can help.
I just want to live here for awhile.
You must not go look for Shu Che. Did you hear me or not?
Also, you can't tell our dad.
You want to turn me into someone who is blind, deaf, and mute.
Yes.
Okay.
You haven't called Miao Ying till now.
Aren't you worried?
She left without saying goodbye.
That means she guessed my purpose to go back to Yanzhou.
She understands everything.
She doesn't want to face me, so she moved back home.
Aren't you going to look for her?
Since she and I...
don't know how to face each other,
it's good if we don't see each other for now.
Sister,
the problem between you and Shu Che...
is it because of Xiao Qing?
Why would you ask that?
I couldn't help myself. I went to see Shu Che today.
I said you can't go to him!
Calm down and listen to me.
I went to him but I didn't go in.
Because I saw Xiao Qing walking out of his house.
So is Xiao Qing the problem between you and Shu Che?
No.
That's good. I was bummed out all day.
Since when did they become so close?
I don't know either.
I always feel that Xiao Qing has been acting weird.
I want to take figure skating.
- What's stopping you? - What?
Yeah... I can...
- Are you living there right now? - Yeah.
Hi!
Oh no. That's horrible.
Cool.
Guys...
Hey guys, we can get coffee.
Yeah. Yeah.
You can't even take care of that?
It's so simple. Just tell him.
It's not that complicated.
Ok. Do whatever you think is good.
- Why are you here? - Hi.
- Is your sister here? - She is.
Sister, what are you drinking? I'll get you some.
I am not drinking.
Let us talk alone. You go upstairs.
Let me know if you need anything.
What do you need?
Yesterday at school, you seemed to be avoiding me.
Is that what you came here for?
Actually I want to ask you why you moved back here?
Because Shu Che is back.
Thank you for picking him up at the airport.
Thanks.
You saw it all?
I am not blind or stupid.
Let me tell it to you then.
Before Shu Che left,
he said he wanted to go back and figure something out.
But he doesn't want anyone to know.
He is still trying to figure out how to tell you that.
He asked me to keep it a secret.
So,
I hope you don't misunderstand.
I was just there to be a driver.
Why did he ask you to do that?
I thought because I am the legal consultant of the company.
I know all the accounts and contracts of the company.
I know the relationship between the OA system update of Hualong and your father.
This time he went back, he was probably trying to figure this out.
I actually have guessed already what he will be asking upon going back.
After he returned this time, he was really upset.
After getting out of the airport, he said a lot to me.
About the two of you and your two families.
Your father and his father.
He told you all that?
I feel like he just needs a way to let it out. That's all.
He doesn't know how to face you.
It's too hard to keep it to himself.
I understand.
It's just...I didn't expect that the time he finds out the truth...
is earlier than I expected.
Maybe you can face it together now that he knows.
It's better than you suffering alone.
This problem...
can't be solved by two people facing it together.
I can almost see my future with him.
Not so far down the road, there is a destined ending.
But you still love each other very much.
I guess Shu Che...
probably doesn't think our love is that pure anymore.
Why did you drag me here to help you buy a birthday gift?
Help me pick.
For a guy or a girl?
A girl.
That's really not necessary. We still have documents we need to look at.
It's ok. We will buy you a sandwich and coffee. Just one moment.
- Wait here. - Hurry up.
Hey, you're here!
Such a coincidence!
You're here too!
What are you buying?
- Help me look! - Ok, ok!
Help me look.
