[Episode 24]
Why must you drag me with you in buying a brithday present for someone else?
Help me choose.
Is it for a man or a woman?
Woman.
There's really no need for this. We still have to go back to the office to sign a contract.
It's fine. I'll just buy you a sandwich and coffee. It will be done very fast. Just wait for a while.
Hurry then.
Hey, you're here!
What a coincidence!
You are also here!
What are you two buying?
- Help me look. - Okay.
Help me take a look.
It's now getting interesting.
Next move, he should be hugging her head while she cries in his arms.
Shu Che, say something to me.
Even if it's just asking why I moved out.
Miao Ying, give me an explanation.
Even if you will just say that you hid everything from me because you had no choice.
I still have a class. I'll get going now.

I will then immediately arrange for a meeting. I look forward for your challenge.
[I accept]
Sir, may I help you?
Oh, roommate.
- This way please. - Thank you.
Come in!
Mister, your guest is here.
Hello, my name is Ning Ming.
Sit. Sit.
Let me see your passport.
And your graduation diploma. It's better if it's the original copy.
I don't have that.
None?
And you say that you're an undergraduate?
It's not that I don't have one, I just didn't bring it with me.
What I applied is a tourist visa. I didn't have plans to study nor get a job here.
Why would then I bring my college diploma everywhere?
If you didn't bring your college diploma, how would you prove that you're a college graduate?
If you doubt a person, don't use him. If you use him, don't doubt.
Are you here to look at a diploma or proof of learning skills?
Do you have the confidence of successfully taking the exam in my place?
If I don't, why will I accept your hiring request?
I've graduated 4 years of undergraduate college. You think I won't be able to handle a 1st year college mathematics?
Okay. How about this? Stay here and prove your skills.
Now? Right here?
Correct. Treat this as your exam venue. I'll only believe it once I see it.
Fine. Fine.
- Let's do it this way then. - Let me temporarily keep your cellphone.
What are you trying to do?
Prevent you from cheating.
I'm afraid that you'll take my cellphone and leave.
This is the deposit. Not enough?
Enough already...
Here.
Waiter!
I'm answering questions here, while you're eating. Isn't that inappropriate?
No. I prepared these for you.
If you think that these are disturbing your focus, I'll tell them to take them away.
No... No disturbance at all.
I'll wait for you outside. The time limit is 2 hours.
After 5 minutes, you can start. Okay?
A dishonest practice like this is packaged in quite a decent manner.
You only used more than an hour.
So easy.
I'm giving it back to you.
I'm giving it back to you untouched.
Go back and just wait for my call.
Thank you for your good food.
You ate it very cleanly.
Hello, who is this?
I'm that person who interviews and supervised your exam earlier.
What's wrong?
Please immediately return to that function room earlier.
Fine. Fine.
Hello.
You're not the only one that's asking to be substituted in your exam?
It's just one person, but it isn't me.
It's my boss. He's your real employer.
Hello. Hello.
Bro, his name is Ning Ming.
Sit.
Okay.
Boss, how do I address you?
Just call me Rudy.
Boss Rudy.
That...didn't you say to wait for your call?
How come you asked me to come back so quickly?
I've verified the answers.
Did you answer the same questionnaire before?
No.
How could I have any US questionnaire?
You're so cool!
You only made one mistake in total!
It's just normal performance.
Let's have a chat. I must know your present situation.
Chat then.
You're studying college here?
No.
Bro, he has tourist visa.
Came here to the US to have fun?
It's not really having fun.
Why did you come here then?
Nothing.
Just idling around.
Idling around?
Why? Is there a problem with that?
It's good to be idling around. It's very suitable to me.
An idle person that's not in the list. Very safe.
Right...
Your height and built is more or less the same as mine.
Looks...
You think he looks a bit similar to me?
It is indeed a bit similar.
He surely isn't as handsome as you.
It's enough that he looks a bit similar. Foreigners are usually face blind to us Asians.
Yes.
Okay then. You passed! It's you then!
We still haven't discussed the pay.
Didn't he clearly tell you the pay?
Didn't I already state it very clearly in the hiring ad?
There are no deposits. The pay will fluctuate based on how high your score will be.
The better your score is, the more abundant your pay will be.
How will it fluctuate then? Is there any standard?
Let me tell you my situation first.
This questionnaire is my end of term exam last semester.
I got an F, so I failed the subject.
This semester, I had to retake it and I must pass it.
That's why, my request for you is to just get a C.
Of course, the questionnaire that will be given to you won't be like this, but the difficulty is almost the same.
Hence, can you guarantee that you'll pass it for me?
More or less.
Don't 'more or less'. Even a bit less is unacceptable.
If you get me a D or F, you still have to pay me money.
How come there is still a risk of paying money?
Tell me first to what degree is the benefit if I do well in your exam.
If you're able to get an A, the pay will increase to $5,000.
$5,000?
You find it small?
No...not small.
Okay then. I then wish for a successful partnership in advance.
Sure.
Please.
Don't worry.
Maid Ma!
Maybe he already knows.
You two should face it together.
It can't be worse than you facing all these sufferings alone.
I still have a class.
I'll get going now.
Ying Ying.
Ying Ying, what's wrong with you?
Ying Ying, what's wrong with you?!
LPG poisoning? How come the smoke alarm didn't sound?
It's my fault. I turned it off.
Why did you turn it off?
Our home's smoke alarm is too sensitive.
It frequently activates and kept calling the cops over.
I then turned it off.
But this is all my fault.
Stop blaming yourself. Good thing, your sister is out of danger.
I'll go out for a while. Watch her.
Hello.
Hello, Xiao Qing. My sister had gas poisoning.
How is she now?
It's fine now. She's alright.
She's currently still admitted for observation.
No big problem. But I got really scared earlier.
Does She Che know already?
Not yet. I also don't know if I should tell him, so I called to ask you.
You should tell him.
Tell him then. Tell him that my sister is alright.
Tell him to not worry.
Of course, we must make him worry.
Are you stupid, Cheng Ran?
This is a good 'half-the-effort, double-the-result' opportunity.
Did your brain shut down?
Right. We must tell him, and even scare him to death.
Okay then, it's settled. I'll tell him and exaggerate it.
I'll make it sound like her life is hanging by a thread.
This way, we surely don't need to keep pulling him and he'll personally fly towards there.
You're something, Xiao Qing.
Let's do it your way. By then, I'll just guard by the door of my sister's hospital room.
Once I see you two, I'll wail loudly.
I'll grab on Shu Che's collar and shout,
"Give me back my sister. It's all your fault
- that she tried to commit suicide." - Enough...
Enough already. Stop being too exaggerated, okay?
You should still have a sense of propriety.
Practice it again. See you later.
Okay. See you later.
Shu Che! Miao Ying is in trouble!
She's currently being resuscitated. Gas poisoning.
How come she got poisoned by gas? How is her situation now?
Cheng Ran just called me earlier and didn't explain it clearly. He just said that her condition is quite grave.
Where is she? In the hospital? Do you have the address?
He will send me the address.
Go there with me now.
[Field Technology Ltd.]
They're coming! They're here!
Just do as we practiced earlier. Action. How did I instruct you?
You must guard by sister well. You must not leave her at all times. Why did you leave that time?
I saw her sleeping and thought that nothing would happen, before I left.
She was just pretending to be asleep. She's currently on the verge of a mental breakdown.
If you are not careful, it's easy for her to be short-sighted and seek suicide.
It's been so long since I saw her staring on a paring knife for a long time.
Do you know? Do you know how scary it is?!
Fine, I was wrong!
Let me tell you that if anything bad happens to my sister, I won't let you off!
Who's trying to commit suicide?
Who's in the verge of a mental breakdown?
Must you be that exaggerated?
What's with the gas poisoning?
It was all an accident. Don't listen to their nonsense.
How are you now?
Admitted for observation for a day. I can be discharged by tomorrow.
Rest well then. I'll visit you some other time.
Shu Che!
Sorry.
I apologize for what my father had done to you.
I also want to apologize for myself.
If the current me is hard for you to accept,
if you think that we have to separate just to clear your relationship with my father,
I will accept if you want us to break up.
We did all these in vain.
Monica!
Monica.
It's time for breakfast.
Hey.
What's wrong?
I'm pregnant.
Who's the father?
I don't know.
No way. Recall it well. Use the elimination method and calculate the possible time.
Anyway, it's not important who the father is. I'm not going to have this baby.
You don't plan to keep it?
Or else, what?
Then...what should you do?
What else?
Call the doctor. Set up an appointment for a surgery.
Should you carefully reconsider it? This is still a life after all.
Why is your hand so cold?
I'm nervous.
Although I don't have an experience on such matter,
I just want to tell you that I will always be by your side
to be your nursing aid and nanny. At this time, you can just order me around.
That's why, you must not be afraid or worried.
My little shoulder is always here for you to lean on.
I will be here. I will always be here.
Honestly, who should be leaning on who right now?
Oh, my fault. Here...
Come home with me.
Hiding it from you...
...is because from the start...
...I just wanted you to stay away from all of these.
It's best if you never know about it.
Actually, I also understood...
....that you will know sooner or later.
Although I never resisted my father,
I never considered this matter as being right.
I know. No need to explain.
I believe you.
For both instances, it was you who came back to look for me.
Why?
Because...
...as there are lesser people that I can trust,
there are also lesser people that's worthy to be guarded.
I only have you left.
Miao Ying.
Are there still things
that you know, but I don't know yet?
Nothing anymore.
Promise me that whatever happens,
I hope that you will never hide anything from me again.
I promise you.
For the things that I have,
they are slowly losing their purity.
The only thing that I want to hold tightly is...
...the still pure me and you.
How is your surgery schedule?
I'll go to the clinic tomorrow at 1 pm.
I have a criminal law exam tomorrow morning.
I'll go there to accompany you after my exam.
Monica.
Yes?
I'll directly go to the clinic after I'm done with my class.
Okay.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Xiao Qing, why did she say she's going to the clinic?
Recently, she seems to be not herself.
At night, she doesn't go out to drink too.
Is she sick?
Nothing serious. She might have not rested well these past nights,
hence, she wanted to get checked up in the clinic. There probably isn't any grave problem.
Could it be that because of frequent excessively wild fun
and prolonged late night sleeps, that's why, her immunity has weakened?
That's possible. We'll know after the check-up.
Recently, my complexion has also worsened from always staying up late.
Good thing, I have this new energy face mask that you gave me.
I only have one left. Do you still have stocks?
I do. I'll give it to you later.
Thanks.
You merged our pictures, right?
Say, this kind of software is indeed not bad.
It's a great software. Isn't your course computer science?
You should make more software like that to bring blessing to the public.
There's great market demand and usage. It surely will sell.
Don't worry. For demands by clients like you will always be met first.
You said before that you're just idling around here in the US.
Why didn't you just request to study here?
With a programming haven like Silicon Valley,
your computer degree is quite an advantage.
Studying abroad isn't an easy thing.
Not everyone has the qualifications.
I think that with your level, it won't be a problem.
There's no problem with my level? It doesn't mean that there isn't any problem in other aspects.
Other aspects?
Money?
Okay already. Let's not say these anymore.
Hurry and tell me what else I should be careful about when I reach the school.
What if I bump into classmates who knows you? What should I say?
Don't worry about that.
Other than attending required classes, I basically don't stay in school that much. I never had any interaction with my classmates.
This... Me. Them. Understand?
Anyway, no one will take notice of you, is that it?
Correct. Not right too.
With me being this handsome,
there might be a few who has a secret crush on me.
- No, all these are unimportant. - Right. - Just take an exam for me and disguise as me for 3 hours.
Don't interact with anyone. Don't chat with them. Just maintain this aloof demeanor and it will be alright.
I got it. Go there to take an exam. Leave after the exam. Zero interaction.
Correct. During the exam, I'll drive you to and from there.
Remember one thing.
In other people's eyes, the one getting off the car to take an exam is me, not you.
Okay.
What is this?
Your wardrobe, a full set.
Just change on these during the day of the exam and you'll completely become
Rudy Cheng.
[Mom]
- Mom. - Monica.
Adam has a kidney donor.
The hospital will arrange for a matching tomorrow.
Oh, my god. Really?!
That's great!
Yes.
We've been waiting for this day for so long.
Hope the matching this time will be a success.
I will pray the whole night.
It will be successful this time. I also will pray.
We're here.
You are now me.
Bro, my fate now lies in your hands.
You must help me pass it.
Or else, I'll get in trouble with my father again.
Don't worry.
Bro!
Stay calm.
