[My Story For You]
[Episode 39]
Xiao Ai.
How did this happen?
It's nothing. I was stung while removing a hornet's nest.
- Are you okay? - I'm fine.
He lost consciousness. I'm fine.
Firefighters have to deal with hornet's nests too?
Our main job is to fight the god of fire
but we also provide assistance with everything else.
We do everything from firefighting to providing support.
A walking advertisement.
Why are you here?
I came to pick her up from work.
She was already out the door when she heard he was sent in
so she insisted on coming to take a look.
There's no helping it. Xiao Ai watched him grow up.
I just don't like his cousin.
My brother's heartthrob has become very popular.
Will she and Xiao Gong get married? There is quite a big age difference.
It's not that big a gap.
It's almost morning.
Wait for me to clock out. I'll give you a ride home.
Oh, it's you.
Didn't I say I was going to see you in a few days to discuss this?
I brought it over for you.
Come on in.
It's a bit messy.
A celebrity's house sure receives a lot of packages.
They're all gifts from fans.
There were two big boxes sent to his parents' house just a few days ago.
If these gifts keep coming, we'll have to buy another house just to store them.
What are they usually?
Letters and plush toys that young girls send.
If you've been pursued by young girls, you'll know what I'm talking about.
Have a seat.
Young girls? You don't seem worried.
I'll get you something to drink.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Look here.
These three primary schools in our city are pretty outstanding.
I think they'll be a good fit for Tang Guo.
You should decide for yourself which one to pick.
Three?
Can I apply to all three?
I suggest you only apply to one because there are limited spots.
You can only apply to one.
This one here is the closest, so it'll be convenient.
You're back.
Let me introduce you. This is my coworker.
He's here with recommendations for primary schools for Tang Guo.
Hello.
He's a bit busy.
He must be busy.
I won't take up your time.
Act on this quickly because there's not much time left.
Okay. I'll walk you out.
Take care.
All right, goodbye.
I got it.
He's helping us, not asking us for help.
Why did you look so grumpy?
Go get changed. Xiao Shan's mother passed away.
That's so sudden.
What happened?
I fell.
Why didn't you tell me?
Tang Guo had a fall and you had a fall. What were you doing?
I didn't keep it from you on purpose.
Today's not a good day to get into an argument.
Give me a moment. I'll get changed.
Say...
When you get old, you have to watch those around you leave one by one.
It's so upsetting.
Yao Yao, help your dad clean up the room.
Okay. Mom, just give us the orders. Dad and I will do the work.
Do we keep the bed?
Yao Yao, ask Xiao Shan.
Xiao Shan.
My mom wants to know if you still want the bed.
Let Auntie decide.
Are you still living here?
Yes.
I'm used to living here anyway.
Besides, my mom passed away in there.
I'm afraid your mom will have trouble renting it out.
If you leave, we won't be renting it out again.
We don't need the money.
Fold these. They're for tomorrow.
I'll teach you.
I'll reserve a big bus tomorrow.
It'll be parked at the wool mill.
Everybody going to the funeral service will gather there.
Yao Yao, here's the list of attendees.
Confirm each one.
Okay.
- Old Zhang. - Yes?
You'll go in the van.
It'll hold gifts for attendees. One per person.
There will be milk, a notebook, and a pen in a bag.
Don't forget.
Mu Zi, you can be in charge of sign-in and collecting money tomorrow.
Mom, I have a meeting with an important client at the bank tomorrow.
You can't request time off?
I'll try.
Yes, do try. It's not as if this happens every day.
Mom, I'll go tomorrow.
You can.
You're a cop. That'll bring honor to the Wei family.
Mom, what are you saying? It's not like he's going in uniform.
Say...
How could someone just pass away in the blink of an eye?
Is Xiao Shan sleeping?
No.
The bed is bare now. I came to get a quilt for him.
I'll get it.
Stay with him tonight.
- Chang Gong. - We can talk tomorrow.
Here you go.
Mu Zi, is something bothering you?
We'll all be going tomorrow.
My parents aren't home.
The kindergarten won't be open.
There won't be anyone to look after Tang Guo.
Then bring her along.
Xiao Shan's mother was good to her.
Consider it a last farewell.
Mom, Tang Guo is so young. It won't be appropriate for her to attend.
She's not that young anymore.
I think it's better if she doesn't go.
Mom, who are the people on this list? Go over this with me.
Who?
Is there something to see?
Why do you think Mu Zi is walking around in the courtyard at night?
Maybe she's taking a walk to aid digestion.
Is it any of your business?
Do you think she's going to complain about me to Chang Gong?
Does she have something on you?
I wanted her to bring Tang Guo to the funeral.
I support Mu Zi on this.
The child is so young. What if she is frightened?
Besides, she's not part of the Wei family.
She doesn't need to be there.
Xiao Shan's mother treated Tang Guo so well.
The child should send her off. Don't you agree?
It doesn't matter what you want. Her mother makes the decision on this.
I'm her grandma.
Is it something important?
It can't wait until tomorrow?
Wei Xiao Shan just fell asleep but was woken up by my phone.
It's not my fault you didn't turn your phone off.
All right, it's not your fault. What do you need?
It's about Tang Guo.
Your mom wants to take Tang Guo to the funeral.
And?
What do you mean?
Tang Guo is so young. What if she gets scared?
Then don't take her.
I don't want to.
My parents aren't home. I'm also afraid your mom won't like it.
My mom isn't that petty.
You can ask your coworker to look after her for a few hours.
My coworker? Now you'll spare my coworker some attention?
What's the matter with you today?
You don't like anything I say. What have I done?
Why haven't you asked me how my arm is?
Let me see your arm.
Now you want to ask? I don't want to tell you.
Come on.
Your stupid packages tripped me.
You're so clumsy.
Oh, all right. Don't be mad.
It's all my fault.
Why did I marry you?
I don't get to see you, I'm all alone, and I'm raising my daughter alone.
I even trip over your packages.
Not only does it hurt, I also get scolded by you.
Okay, okay.
What did I get married for?
Don't be mad anymore, my old girl.
Go back inside. It's cold.
Not yet. What about Tang Guo?
We'll do what you say.
That's more like it.
How come you're growing backward?
I feel like I have two kids, you and Tang Guo.
It's exhausting.
I'm watching the show.
I know you are.
My mom is narrow-minded but pretends to be magnanimous.
Mu Zi is sensitive but pretends to be sensible.
Everybody has another side.
I'm sorry I'm late.
My flight was delayed.
I'm sorry, Xiao Shan.
When I was living here...
Your mom used to make a lot of delicious food for me.
When my quilt was musty, she would air it out for me.
Auntie.
Don't worry.
From this day forth...
I promise Xiao Shan won't starve on my watch.
Han Dong.
A child who wishes to care for his parents
may find them taken away by old age.
This saying is very accurate.
You two must bear this in mind.
Be good to your parents.
You must.
That's enough.
Don't be too hard on yourself.
Treat yourself better and live your life.
I'm doing well. My life is very leisurely.
I am respected by others.
I receive fair pay and I'm treated fairly.
I can even be sponsored to go overseas next year.
Aside from taking care of business...
I'll even have time to travel the world.
That's not what I'm talking about.
I mean your love life.
That's what your mom was most worried about, wasn't it?
You're one to talk. Worry about yourself.
Nonsense.
The two of us are different.
- All right, that's done. - Thank you.
Thanks. I'll call when we've decided on the material.
Okay, goodbye.
She may look young
but there are many people who go to her for custom shoes.
Is this your new business project?
Not really. It's considered giving back to an old client. I'm not making money.
How much does one pair of shoes cost?
Take a guess.
I'm guessing 2,000 yuan maximum.
All right, pick a leather.
What do you mean by that? 2,000 yuan doesn't cover it?
Forget it, then. I don't want these shoes.
Wei Xiao Shan, you're living comfortably now.
You're a bachelor. Can't you live with a little more luxury?
A pair of leather shoes can last me over 10 years.
Don't worry, it's my gift!
Forget it! I don't need it!
Pick the leather.
If you keep talking, I'll use your lips to make a pair of shoes.
Let's put that on hold for a moment.
What's this with all the small spheres?
That? Ostrich leather.
Ostrich leather?
If you wear it, can you run as fast as the wind?
Can you not be as annoying as Wei Xiao Shan?
What's wrong with me? Don't compare me to an animal.
You two!
A lot of people choose ostrich leather. It's comfortable!
I'm not ordering that. It's too expensive.
Shut it! Pick one.
Mr. Han, you don't even answer the phone now?
I was forcing you to come to my store.
Why are you still playing those tricks at your age?
Shouldn't there be teary eyes when two old lovers meet again?
Sorry, we'll give you some privacy.
I heard from Han Dong that your mom passed away.
Don't take it too hard, Wei Xiao Shan.
Famous Writer, I actually came to see you today.
Famous Writer.
You, Famous Writer.
I thought you two were talking. What is it?
What are we standing for? Sit.
I hear your novel is being adapted into a film.
I wanted to discuss product placement for my company.
I'm not in charge of that. The media company is.
If you want to discuss it, I can introduce you to the point of contact
This project is in great demand.
As far as I know
three cosmetics companies are vying for this right now.
We're afraid we won't be selected through the normal channels
so I thought I'd try to speak with you, the original author.
The original author holds a lot of sway.
Okay. I'll leave you with a number and you can contact him later.
Who still makes calls? I'll add you on WeChat.
Okay.
I'll introduce you to my agent later.
You have an agent now?
His agent is his old coworker from the TV station.
He's very nice and we often get together to drink.
Xiao Shan, cut the useless chatter. Get down to business.
You're leaving so soon?
Yes, there's no helping it.
Who knows when we'll see each other next?
Very soon.
You don't have anything to say?
Be careful on the road.
Okay, bye.
Wait.
Safe travels.
Go back inside, Professor Wei. She's already gone.
Isn't it strange?
Why did Mei Xin contact you first instead of me when she returned?
Look at Professor Wei. He thinks I'm a love rival.
You deserve it.
You forgot to give us a heads-up on this surprise.
I got her call at the last minute.
I had just landed yesterday
when I got the call saying she was back to see you.
That's why I called you two over.
She...
When did she get back?
I don't know.
What is she doing here?
Didn't she say she's working for a cosmetics company?
Oh, right.
What is her job and position?
She has a Ph.D. from overseas.
She must be in upper management.
Oh, right.
Why did you stop? I'm waiting for you to get to the good part.
- What good part? - Don't play dumb with me.
You're asking the obvious!
Is she still single?
Professor Wei, I can't ask that for you. You'll have to ask her yourself.
I do want to ask her.
But as you saw, I can't even get any time with her alone.
Even when adding WeChat...
She only added Chang Gong.
Buddy, you've been a fool for 30 years.
That's an impressive feat!
Adding me is as good as adding you!
How is it the same? What if she doesn't want to add me?
When will you stop being a coward? At 80?
Here's her WeChat. You can decide whether or not to add her.
Give it to me! I want it!
Hello. Your clothes have been cleaned.
Leave them there.
My friends are reliable. This should work out.
Add his agent on WeChat
and keep me informed after you two have talked.
Okay, thank you so much.
Dinner is on me the next time you're in New York.
Do I look like I need it?
That's all. Bye.
Ms. Mei, this is the Marketing Department's job.
It's not the Overseas Business Development Department's problem.
Why did you use your connections to help her?
She even stole from our budget in the last quarterly meeting.
Precisely because she publicly crossed me, I should help her.
I'm not doing this for her.
It's to show the higher-ups.
Nothing is more valuable than connections.
They don't deserve this kindness.
Ms. Mei, are you sure you want to cancel the two meetings tonight?
I'm waiting for a very important call.
What are you pacing around for? It's been half an hour!
Uncle, give me your two cents.
What two cents?
It's a new saying my students taught me. It means to tell me your opinion.
Talk quickly. I'm in a hurry to watch "Crimson Romance."
Zhong Yue Min?
Yao Yao downloaded it for me. I'm going to binge-watch it.
Hurry up.
Does it have to do with romance?
Wow! Uncle, you're so amazing!
I've experienced it all. Don't be shy. Just tell me.
I...
Never mind. I'm heading back to school.
You don't want to talk anymore? Don't leave me hanging!
Goodbye, Professor.
Bye, Professor.
Where's everybody else?
Everybody's cutting class?
Class Leader, don't tell me
you didn't inform anybody that class was rescheduled to today.
Mei Xin, you tricked me.
There's no class today!
Smart.
I was going to sleep in today!
I did this to keep you from sleeping in!
When you're successful in the future, just remember how I spurred you on.
We're over.
You want to break up with me over this?
Beg me.
Busy? You haven't said anything since I added you.
Waiting for you to message me first.
Hello?
I waited for you all night.
You can hold out longer now than you could before.
No, I wouldn't dare do that to you. I had class tonight.
Thank you for speaking up for me today.
It's nothing. We're old friends.
I want to see you.
I'm sorry for dropping by so late.
It's okay. Come in.
Come in.
Your company treats you well.
How come they didn't rent an apartment for you though?
I'm only here short term. I don't need an apartment.
Short term?
Have a seat.
I steeped tea just before you came.
- Sorry, sorry! - Were you scalded?
No. I'm sorry!
Wei Xiao Shan, after all these years, you still haven't grown up.
No, I'm nearing mid-life already.
My father... passed away last year.
That was so sudden.
Your mother also passed away suddenly.
Yes.
Do you have a wife?
No.
Don't tell me I hurt you that badly.
No, don't get the wrong idea.
I...
It's nothing.
Is there something you want to ask?
If you don't want to tell, I won't ask.
After all, I'm not that nosy.
Then let's talk about work.
Work?
Talk about your work.
Yours. I want to listen.
Mine?
You also have a doctorate. You know what school is like.
I want to listen to you talk about school.
About school?
Okay, then I'll tell you about our enrollment situation this year.
I noticed something very interesting.
You two are really something.
You talked about work for over two hours?
It's not even work that has anything to do with you.
Actually, it was quite fun.
Fun?
I say you just have too much free time.
Professor Wei.
It's already 2015!
If you still like her, just tell her. Is it that hard?
You've been in love before. Why don't you give me an idea?
We're not the same.
"Forgetting part of the past will make you happier now."
You just won't admit it. How are you different from me?
- Aren't you unhappy? - I'm happy.
Very happy.
Listen. I can watch the movie "2012" 15 times with 15 different girls.
Every time I watch it, it's like the first time.
- Can you? - No.
That's why we're not the same.
Even if I watched a movie 15 times with Mei Xin, I would get sick of it.
How can it be true love with every girl? Doesn't it get annoying?
They're the ones who love me!
I don't know what to do when a girl confesses her feelings to me.
So, I treat her nicely.
Our lives are decades long.
We can get by with letting ourselves down.
But we shouldn't let down others too much.
As you know, I used to turn down girls with no remorse.
I don't know what happened.
Now that I'm older, I don't have the heart to reject them.
Still, you shouldn't accept them all.
You're wrong. I'm not accepting them all.
When a woman confesses to me, I treat her to a meal and buy her something nice.
Then I try to appease her.
Then I tell her...
"There's already someone in my heart."
Get it?
It sounds very worthwhile to fall for you.
Of course.
I promised your mom I would look after you like a real brother.
I'm all ears. Keep talking.
I'm falling asleep.
Coming! Coming!
Wei Xiao Shan?
Um... Did you just wake up?
You woke me up.
What is it? Didn't talk enough last night?
Wei Xiao Shan, what are you doing?
Wei Xiao Shan!
Go into the bedroom.
Shoes.
Where are my clothes?
Coming!
Ms. Mei, you haven't had breakfast? Are you feeling unwell?
No. What do you need?
This overseas company wants to collaborate.
They want you to review this as soon as possible.
Come in.
Don't close the door. Air out the room.
Air it out?
Way to go, Wei Xiao Shan! Good job on falling into bed together.
All the lessons I taught you paid off.
Get off me. Enough sarcasm.
Xiao Shan.
There's a young lady out there who wants to see you.
A young lady?
Could it be a student?
Go take a look.
I'm going outside.
- Over here. - Xiao Shan, quickly. She's been waiting.
Here to see me?
Didn't expect a girl to come for you.
Enough of your nonsense.
Miss, you're here to see me?
Do you know me?
Hey...
Miss, say something. Are you mute?
It's okay, Miss. Go ahead.
Forget it. She must be looking for someone else.
Brother!
You called me Brother?
You're from that side?
What side?
The old man's daughter?
Why are you here to see me?
My mom passed away not too long ago.
You people just can't help yourselves, can you?
Get lost!
Xiao Shan, don't be like this.
You won't leave?
Fine, I'll leave.
Miss, don't be afraid. You can talk to me.
Impressive, Wei Xiao Shan. Two women in one day.
It's not the same.
Hurry up and say what you want.
There's nothing to say.
She's in Chang Gong's house. The parents are with her.
I came to comfort you.
You have a woman's heart in a man's body, Professor Wei.
Have you had enough? Take a hike.
She just told me... So...
Your dad passed away last year.
That's great.
He died before my mom did.
If my mom had known, she would've been overjoyed.
Enough.
They're all gone already.
You don't have to console me.
It no longer bothers me.
It was my mom who suffered the most.
In the early years, I still wanted them to remarry.
Back then, my heart was in pain.
Life was even more bitter.
Things improved later.
My mom let go.
Why shouldn't I?
Who cares about her? She's just a stranger to me.
Yes.
Han Dong, who do I owe?
Wei Xiao Shan, you don't owe anyone.
Do you know?
When they told us to move out, my mom and I left immediately.
We were roaming the streets looking for a place to live.
All right.
What can be done though? We can't just give her the cold shoulder.
You know how Chang Gong's parents are.
Wei Xiao Shan!
- Wei Xiao Shan! - Xiao Shan.
What's going on?
I'll tell you later.
Auntie, make some food for the poor girl.
I was already making some. Take it to her.
I'm going.
Here you go.
Have something to eat.
You can stay here for now.
I don't think Wei Xiao Shan will want to see you anytime soon.
What's your major?
- I graduated from nursing school. - What a coincidence!
I have a sister who also graduated from nursing school.
Don't hold back. Eat up.
Thank you.
