Episode 32
Do you remember that...
you once told me that...
you didn't dare to accept Yan Mo...
because you feared that he'd leave you one day?
At that time,
I felt like I wasn't good enough for him.
We're the opposite.
I fear that I'd leave her.
Why?
Qiao Yi.
The biggest trauma of my life...
was Zhao Lei's domestic abuse.
I carry his genes.
I'm afraid...
I'm afraid of becoming a man like him.
Don't worry about that.
The two of you are two completely different people.
Zhao Guan Chao.
Growing up with you...
is the greatest happiness in my life.
Everyone gets married...
without thinking of the possibility of divorce.
But, who can guarantee it?
I'm afraid.
I'm afraid that my parents' failed marriage...
will happen to me as well.
I'm afraid of hurting her.
More importantly, I'm afraid of...
putting my children through the same pain I experienced.
I'm sorry.
I always thought that...
I was the biggest victim in their divorce.
If only one between you and me...
can be happy,
I'm sure...
it can only be you.
Business is good today.
Here you go, Guan Chao.
Wu Yi told me that...
you contacted a hospital for her.
Thanks.
It wasn't of much help anyway.
You and Hao Wu Yi...
Look.
Even a random app...
shows that we're 100% compatible.
It's like we're...
meant for each other.
Enough about me.
I heard you broke up with my sister.
We'll get together again.
Treat her well.
I'll still say the same thing.
Don't make me punch you in your face.
Even though you're not as good ad me,
for the position of my brother-in-law,
you're decent.
Throughout high school,
you never beat me once in the exam.
No way.
I thought I did beat you once.
Not even once.
I can prove that.
You didn't beat him once.
That's because I was busy dating girls.
Let me teach you.
It's easy to coax my sister.
She's soft-hearted.
Find an excuse to text her.
You can easily make up with her in a few exchange of messages.
What's the matter?
Thanks.
Wait for me.
See you, Gao.
They're all grown up now.
But they haven't changed at all.
They never pay.
Qiao Yi.
Even your dad makes better dumplings than you.
If you get married,
your mother-in-law will find you inadequate.
How dare they find my daughter inadequate!
If they think she's not good enough, she doesn't need to get married.
I'll take care of you.
You take care of her?
You're itching for a beating.
Zhao Su Ying.
Do you know that this is verbal abuse?
Qiao Yi.
Let me tell you this.
Your mom is...
the perfect model of the evolution of old women.
From a shrew,
she turned into a fierce woman.
Now, she's in her final form.
A vicious woman.
What did you say?
Enough. Stop it.
Let's make the dumplings quickly.
Wu Yi is waiting.
That's right.
What's right? You'd better say it clearly!
Am I your wife or a vicious woman?
Guess.
Give me a clear answer.
Stop right there. Listen.
You must give me a clear answer today!
I'm telling you! Don't try to run away!
You are my wife...
and a vicious woman!
You're itching for a beating indeed.
I do feel a little itchy.
Bring me the 999 Cream.
God is punishing you now.
Serves you right.
I feel much better now.
-Where else? -Here.
I wanted to remind you to put on warm clothes.
But, it's been sunny for a week.
Yan Mo.
I can't believe this.
Hello.
Are you free to talk?
Let me check my timetable.
You're busy?
What?
You don't even have time to walk out of your house?
I'll be right back!
When did you come back?
There's flour on my hands.
Su Ying.
You said she'll never get a man.
But, it looks like she has given her heart to someone.
This...
Why aren't they letting go yet?
-I need to go and check. -Go away.
Leave the youngsters alone.
But, why are they still hugging?
Go back.
Let's watch a little longer.
Looks like you've been writing since you were a child.
This is the first certificate I received.
The topic of that essay competition was...
"My mother".
When I was little, my mom was seldom home.
I didn't know what to write.
That day after school,
I waited for my mom to come home from work.
I thought of how hard she worked...
and decided to wash her feet for her...
like what I saw in a TVC.
But, I waited so long that I fell asleep.
So, I made up a story about me washing my mom's feet for her.
Ironically,
I won the first prize with that essay.
I didn't even dare to tell her.
How's she?
I just injected some tranquilizer.
She'll be able to get some sleep.
You must be tired.
Go back and get some rest.
I want to stay with my mom.
You're awake.
Are you feeling better today?
Much better than yesterday.
Good.
Don't cry, Wu Yi.
Look.
The weather is so nice.
Take me out for a walk.
Okay.
Mom, so why did you want to come to this place?
During your high school days,
I was at the peak of my career.
I missed out on your golden days.
So, I want to come and check out...
my daughter's high school life.
-I'll show you around. -Okay.
This is the road...
Qiao Yi and I passed by every day after school.
That field over there...
was where I first taught Guan Chao basketball.
Guan Chao was horrible at basketball.
I trained him personally.
I was really daring back in high school.
We stole the principal's denture.
But, we apologized to him after that...
and cleaned up the school to make up for it.
Back then,
even though you were always away,
my classmates were very nice to me.
See that pavilion?
That was where we...
folded 9,999 stars together.
Then in the charity sale,
Teacher Gao bought them for RMB 999.
He still has them in his bar today.
Look at my daughter.
You're a big girl now.
When you were born,
you were just 3.3 kg.
Your hair was so shiny.
The nurses all said you were a pretty girl.
Mom.
Was I good girl back then?
Yes.
You were such a good girl.
At that time,
it was the start of my business.
Every day,
I carried you on my back...
to meet my clients.
You were always so quiet.
You didn't cry or misbehave.
I'm sorry.
I hadn't been a good girl for long.
I'm not a good girl either.
When I started my business,
your grandparents were both against the idea.
But you succeeded.
Am I successful?
I don't even know how my daughter...
became a writer.
Actually, I'm still trying to figure out...
if I should continue writing.
You were right about it.
If I had followed your plan,
I might have had it easy.
I had a lot to say to you.
And I needed your opinions too.
But, each time I tried to tell you,
I just couldn't say it out.
I kept telling myself,
"Forget it."
"Next time maybe."
But, while I waited, this happened to you.
Have you ever listened to me?
Sometimes,
I got so mad at you.
But come to think of it,
that's the way my daughter is.
We both chose the paths we desired.
Wu Yi.
I'm actually not worried at all.
I know that...
even if I'm gone one day,
my daughter will do well.
I won't do well.
Did you miss grandma...
after her passing?
Yes.
Then what do I do?
Wu Yi.
Don't say that.
Listen to me.
The truth is,
I won't be gone.
I'm just going to...
stay by your side in another way.
I'll be watching you.
I'll watch while you go farther and farther.
You'll go to many places.
You'll stand taller than me.
No one can hurt you.
You're the best.
Wu Yi.
Can I hug you?
Mom.
Wu Yi.
Do you want to...
show me more places here?
Tell me about the places in front, okay?
Okay.
This is my favorite part of the book.
Really?
Read it for me.
A freezing wind...
blew over from above.
Omi looked up.
He knew where the wind was coming from.
It was definitely from where he came from.
Do you remember the way home?
I will always remember.
I won't forget even a single step.
Will you forget me?
The moment you forget me,
I will forget you too.
Can I see you?
No one can see me.
Omi looked down in disappointment.
Sign it.
Do you remember the way home?
I will always remember.
I won't forget even a single step.
Will you forget me?
The moment you forget me,
I will forget you too.
Can I see you?
No one can see me.
But I will be by your side...
very quietly.
Until the day...
you forget me.
I won't forget you.
Never.
I want you to stay with me.
We will go beyond the forest,
fly past the glacier...
and pierce through the dark clouds together...
to see the end of the sunlight.
I want you to stay with me for the rest of my life.
I love you.
I never told my mom that...
I have two idols.
One is JK Rowling...
and the other one is her.
She has a strong soul...
that supported her over the past 20 years...
while she raised me alone.
Compared to her, my existence is insignificant.
Rowling said...
"If you were deeply loved,
even if the person who loved you had left,
this person will leave behind...
an eternal charm for you."
And I'll carry this charm with me...
until I reunite with my mom.
Wu Yi.
I've worked with Chief Ding for 9 years.
All these years,
she always carried this tablet PC with her.
She said this tablet PC...
contains all her precious memories.
I think it's time...
I pass it to you.
At the end of Chapter 1,
the heroine found a watch in the cabin.
That watch didn't appear prior to that.
Is this a plot hole?
No.
This is a foreshadow.
It'll be explained in Chapter 3.
The person who saved her at that time...
was actually her mom.
The person she met when she was little was her mom?
No wonder that woman said...
"you've grown up" the first time they met.
You came again.
I'm here to see her.
She said she doesn't want to worry her mom in heaven.
So, she's trying to pull herself together quickly.
Da Chuan came to visit.
Let's take a break.
Da Chuan.
What are you guys doing?
We're going through my new book.
This is my first book after my change of style.
I need more readers' opinions.
I think it's really interesting.
Really?
Because there's also sci-fi in this romance novel.
So you can't get enough of it.
But, when do you plan to publish it?
I haven't found a publisher yet.
Read on and give us more opinions.
Okay.
Where are Qiao Yi and Yan Mo?
They went to a tea estate.
Is Yan Mo planning to be a tea farmer...
after his failure in business?
Ever since my sister started dating him,
she has never had a good day.
They are not after the tea.
They are there to look for Prof. Li.
We're going to make a comeback.
Li Huan Zhang?
When will they be back?
It looks like...
they are planning to wait until he agrees to help.
Back in school, Prof. Li was known for being fussy,
bossy and unreasonable.
He was nicknamed "Tyrant".
What should we do?
It can't be helped.
They can only hope for the best.
Should we have hot pot here tonight?
How about a drink?
Why can't you leave me alone?
We're not leaving.
I've made myself clear...
and I'll say it again.
I'm not interested in your software.
I won't be your consultant.
Are you clear?
Prof. Li.
We know you don't want to join us.
We're just here to tell you that...
we rented the house next door.
We'll be living here.
We'll just be next door.
If you need any help, feel free to knock on our door.
After all, we're right next to you.
You've been packing and unpacking for 6 hours.
Are you hungry?
That's all we have?
Let's make do for now.
24 May.
Expires in 7 days.
25, 26, 27, 28, 29.
Are there 31 days in May?
25, 26, 27, 28, 29.
This is so difficult.
Has it expired or not?
I shouldn't have let you give up on maths back then.
I'm really hungry.
Is this safe or not?
You won't be here for long.
The light bulbs expired.
Do I look weird in this outfit?
The clothes make the girl.
You're stunning today.
I'm going to meet the editor of the publisher today.
If everything goes well,
my book will be published in 3 months.
I've passed my good luck to you.
All the best.
Bye.
Wait.
Don't you think something's missing?
All the best.
-Bye. -Bye.
Hao Wu Yi.
Do your best!
Hello. I'm looking for Chief Editor Yang.
Please come on another day.
Chief Editor Yang is in a meeting.
It's okay. I can wait.
Thank you.
Open the door!
I saw you going in!
Can you stop ignoring me?
Open the door!
He's been doing this for half an hour.
What did this family do to him?
Open the door!
Will you open the door or not?
I hear you coughing!
Open the door, old hag!
My grandma won't open the door for you!
She said you're a monster!
She's the monster!
Old monster, open the door!
-See you. -Bye.
Is the meeting over?
Chief Editor Yang is busy.
The office is closing. Please come on another day.
Dr. Zhao.
There are rashes on my mom's body.
Is that okay?
Don't worry.
That's seborrheic dermatitis.
I added the Red 999 Cream in the prescribed medicines.
She'll recover soon.
Good.
You also prescribed 999 Cream prior to this.
That was for eczema.
It was mainly on the face and neck.
So, I prescribed the Green 999 Cream.
It's different.
Got it.
Don't worry.
The nurse on duty will observe the patient's condition every day.
Okay. Thank you, Dr. Zhao.
Thank you.
How did it go?
Looks like it didn't go well.
I went to 5 publishers today.
None of them wanted me.
That's because they're stupid.
Maybe you're just unlucky today.
Now go home, take a shower and get some sleep.
Tomorrow will be a brand new day.
I don't want to go home.
I just want to watch my boyfriend work.
Don't you think your boyfriend...
looks dashing when he's working hard?
I spent the entire afternoon sitting in the Editorial Department.
Everyone was so busy.
They all have their own goals.
All my life, writing is all I know.
I've no working experience at all.
If I can't be a writer anymore,
what else can I do?
It's okay.
If worse comes to worst,
I'll take care of you.
I'm a healthy individual. Why do I need you to take care of me?
I'm not a pig.
You are a pig.
You're my little piggy.
Writing is all your little piggy can do.
But now, she can't even write.
You already showed readers your new book...
and received positive feedback from everyone.
Now I'm suspecting that they were just being nice.
They just didn't want to embarrass me.
Trust me.
When it comes to writing,
no one's better than you.
You're just trying to cheer me up.
You've never read my books.
I'm Hao Wu Yi's retarded fan.
I'm not kidding.
Really?
What's the title of my first book?
"The Devil's Contract".
What about my second book?
"Wait for me, Mr. Chairman".
What else?
"Baroque Prince".
"The Gentle Tyrant".
"The Tantalizing Temptation from His Majesty".
You really read them all?
Keep that a secret.
It's embarrassing for a guy.
Did you empathize with the hero or heroine?
Do you know any other guy who reads my novels?
Yan Mo.
Idiot.
That's a lie.
Let's go.
It's not bad, right?
My little grandson is such a good boy.
He's so easy to look after.
Auntie.
My name is Qiao Yi.
I rented a house here and I'll be staying here for a while.
So, while I'm here, I'll be in your care.
I brought you some gifts.
That's so nice of you.
You didn't have to bring us gifts.
You call us "auntie"?
We're old enough to be your grandma.
That's not true.
You all look so young.
Oh really?
Where are you from?
I'm from Beijing.
Are you here for vacation?
I came to see Prof. Li.
Old Man Li?
What do you need from him?
We need his help.
You need his help?
He won't help you.
That old man is a weirdo.
No one in this village...
wants to talk to him.
But I saw him knocking every door this morning.
Why is that?
He's doing it for one thing.
He wants our signatures.
Why?
Over the recent years,
more and more tourists are coming to our village.
But, these tourists...
litter all over the place...
and destroy the tea estate.
Old Man Li...
goes to the tea estate every day...
to pick up the trash.
He even wrote a petition to the village committee.
He said that this is an eco-tea estate...
and that we must protect it.
He wants to ensure that tourists...
stop littering...
and destroying the tea estate.
He requested to place...
one trash can in every 20 m in the tea estate.
He also proposed...
to have all villagers...
guard the tea estate together.
Look. This is the petition he wrote.
Isn't this a good thing?
Actually,
it's not that we're not willing to sign.
It's just that Old Man Li...
always talks to us with a long face.
It's like he's a debt collector.
What do we owe him?
-Exactly. -Exactly.
If he could talk nicely,
I would have signed for him.
-Exactly. -Right?
