Episode 13
My poor little boy.
Here comes your order.
Auntie, you're back.
Yes.
I came early in the morning.
I heard my precious son...
-ate... -Mom.
Don't you need to go to the public office? Go.
It's still early.
Right.
So, I'm a bother now because Qiao Yi is here?
The office is closing soon.
Right.
I'd better get going.
See you.
Come. Sit down.
-Goodbye, auntie. -Goodbye.
See you.
Why does auntie need to go to the public office?
I need notarized documents for my visa.
Your result is out?
I hope you can apply for the University of East Anglia.
With NCEE result,
you'll be accepted if you get at least 5.5 in IELTS.
In fact, you'll receive...
1 million pounds every year from the international scholarship.
Most importantly,
it's closer to Cambridge.
This is what you've been researching lately?
I also prepared revision materials.
These are my notebooks for every subject.
My notebook for Grade 12's liberal arts is missing.
I'll compile everything for you before I leave.
You're not allowed to slack off.
I'll check on you every day with a video call.
You should be a form teacher.
A form teacher who is always worried about his students.
I only worry about you.
One last question.
Ask.
Can I sell your notes?
Maybe I can make enough money for my flight ticket and tuition fee.
You can try.
Those two appeared.
Call the bureau. I'll stall them.
Alright.
Those two appeared.
Brother, can you lend me your lighter?
Run!
We need reinforcement!
Hurry!
I want dumplings.
Okay.
Hurry, doctor!
Tian!
Hang in there, Tian!
Hurry, doctor!
-The patient's name? -Tian Wei Min!
-His age? -He's 40!
Dad!
-Dad! -Please save him!
Uncle Fei, what happened to my dad?
Qiao Yi.
Mom is here. Don't cry in front of mom.
Qiao Yi!
Qiao Yi, how's your dad?
Doctor, how's he?
The patient is no longer in mortal danger.
But, the injuries on his legs are quite severe.
We need to wait for a detailed report...
to know the condition.
Thank you.
Right. You two go back...
and bring some...
Bring some daily necessities...
and clothes for me and your dad.
Also...
What else again?
Right. I also need...
clothes hangers, toilet paper,
meal boxes...
and a tub.
Hurry. Go home.
I'll go and get them.
Qiao Yi can stay here with you.
No. There are too many things.
Go together.
Call us if you need anything else, mom.
Alright.
Go, kids.
Take a taxi!
Okay.
I'll go and get the things.
How long will dad be hospitalized?
No idea.
It's late already. You don't have to go with me.
I'm going.
This isn't the time to worry about who's going.
Go and get some good rest.
It'll be your turn to look after dad tomorrow.
Remember to lock the door properly.
Don't worry.
I'm here.
If the derivative value is 0,
it's not necessarily the maxima of the function.
Take this question for example.
The function...
Zhao Qiao Yi.
I don't get it.
What's under your table?
You're looking at it so seriously.
Are you following me?
Should I tell your English teacher to come?
Alright. Let's continue.
Where was I?
The function.
Right.
If the derivative value is 0,
it's not necessarily the maxima of the function.
Zhao Guan Chao.
Didn't you promise to clean up the class for one year?
Where are you?
Hello.
Do you hear me?
I took a leave today.
I'm not in school.
Your voice sounds weird.
Are you sick?
I'm fine.
Really?
Hao Wu Yi.
Can you do me a favor?
What favor?
Look after Qiao Yi for me.
I'm worried about her.
Don't scare me, Guan Chao.
What happened?
Mom, how's dad?
He was discharged from the ICU.
He's still unconscious.
Did they give him a check-up?
What's the result?
The doctor said...
his spinal nerves are damaged.
So, he's suffering from paraplegia.
He was perfectly fine when he left home yesterday.
I helped him with his necktie...
and told him to come home early...
and he said okay.
But, all of a sudden...
Why? Why is this happening to us?
What did we do to deserve this?
Mom.
You still have me and Guan Chao.
Don't worry.
I'm alright.
Don't worry about all that.
Study properly.
I'm hanging up.
Right.
This is...
a little something from all of us.
Please accept it.
The cable thieves...
have been arrested.
Good.
Tian would be glad to hear that.
Yes.
I was Tian's partner in that operation.
I failed to protect him.
It's all my fault.
I'm so sorry.
If you run into any problem,
you must tell me.
Please don't see me as an outsider.
Thank you.
I don't blame anyone for this.
This is Tian's job.
Tian always tells us that...
as a police,
he must protect the district...
and the people there.
He always says that at home.
But, I never took it seriously.
Will you be coming today?
I'm busy today.
Have you eaten?
No. I'm hungry.
You're lying.
I ordered the hospital's fast food.
It tasted horrible.
You're just too picky.
Why do you sound so tired?
I've been staying up for revision.
I'm just kind of tired.
Then stop for a while...
and take a break.
I won't be coming tomorrow.
Okay. I'll be discharged tomorrow.
I'll see you in school.
It's okay.
You need to prepare to go abroad.
Are you okay?
I'm hanging up.
Qiao Yi!
Guan Chao told me what happened.
Uncle will be fine.
Don't worry.
We can think of something together.
Mom.
Qiao Yi.
Go to my nightstand.
There's a bank book inside.
I want to study in the UK.
I was expecting some bad news.
You scared me.
Don't worry about the money.
As I told you,
I'll pay no matter where you go.
Yes. This is a good decision.
Don't worry.
I'm applying for military school. It's free.
You can have the money allocated for me.
Thank you.
Qiao Yi, someone's looking for you.
I thought you said you're not coming.
I came to complete the procedures for the transfer.
What is this?
Material for liberal arts revision.
I went through all liberal arts papers...
and trial papers over the past 5 years and compiled all the key points.
But, there's definitely stuffs I missed out from Grade 12 onwards.
You need to concentrate in class...
and take notes for your revision.
Thank you.
-You... -I haven't finished my homework.
I'm going back.
I thought I told you to go home.
What are you doing here?
You can go home now. I'll take over.
The monthly test is approaching.
If you revise here, you'll go back to being the last in the grade.
Let's go. Let's go home together.
Don't make mom worry.
Let's go.
You're back.
Dad.
Give me your bag. Wash your hands and go eat.
Alright.
Qiao Yi.
We're one family now.
Thank you.
Qiao Yi, I heard from Guan Chao that...
the street lights near your school are broken.
That section of the road is too dark at night.
Should I go and pick you up?
I'm fine on my own, Uncle Tian.
Don't worry.
All the best.
Are you okay?
Are you hurt?
What were you doing?
I'm sorry, Mr. Police.
Sorry.
Never mind! Get lost!
Are you hurt?
Be careful in the future.
I'm done. I'm going to school.
Can you pick me up after school?
Dad.
Sure.
Today, I'm officially...
passing my little piggy bank to you.
The password is your birth date.
Where did you get all this money?
I'm a genius.
I earned the money easily from fixing computers for others.
You were actually working each time you went out?
Of course.
Why are you giving me your money?
It's meant for you in the first place.
You're so stupid.
I reckoned you can't even get into a university.
You'll be begging me for money every day...
and that'll be so bothersome.
So, I'd rather give you some money...
for you to set up a shop and keep yourself alive.
But then, my sister is surprisingly hardworking.
I'm sure you can get into a university now.
Don't worry about the family.
Go ahead with your plans.
Don't worry about money either.
After you leave for the UK,
I'll find ways to settle your tuition fees.
Enough, Zhao Guan Chao.
Stop trying to make me cry.
Take it. I'm your brother.
Don't cry.
If you cry,
I'll be at a loss again.
Save it for the family.
Really?
It's your money.
You can decide.
I've something to tell you.
I've something to tell you too.
I contacted a mass comm professor in the University of East Anglia.
He said they are accepting more international students now.
But, they'll still need your NCEE result.
It's best if you score at least 7 in IELTS.
But, don't worry about that. I'll tutor you.
My handwriting is a little messy.
Can you understand my handwriting?
I think I lost your notebook.
What?
I forgot where I left it.
It's okay.
Try and recall...
where you went...
and the places you took it to.
If worse comes to worst,
I'll prepare another one for you.
I don't want to go to the UK anymore.
What did you say?
The plan to further my studies is giving me a lot of stress.
A lazy person like me...
should just go for some diploma.
Things like IELTS and TOEFL...
are too difficult for me.
But, you promised me that...
you'll go to the UK with me.
I wasn't thinking straight.
After I settled down,
I regretted it.
Is this your final decision?
I'll find the notebook and return it to you.
We don't belong to the same world.
Stop wasting your time on me.
Qiao Yi!
What are you doing here?
This...
Why didn't you tell us about your dad?
What about Mo Mo?
I didn't tell him.
Why?
I've my own plans.
Can you keep this a secret?
Yang Yuan.
One hundred and seventeen.
Liu Yang.
One hundred and one.
Zhao Qiao Yi.
Seventy-nine.
What happened to you?
Listen properly when we analyze the questions later.
Liu Hui.
Eighty.
Alright. Look at the paper.
We're done...
analyzing all questions.
Have you all understood?
-Yes. -Yes.
Have you all understood?
Yes!
Alright.
You may go home now.
Teacher Gao.
Qiao Yi.
Wait for me.
I'll pack up and go with you.
I need to head to the hospital quickly.
It's going to rain. I'll go with you.
My mom's waiting for me in the hospital.
See you.
Yan Mo.
Will you come back?
I bet you'll move abroad.
Food in the UK is bad.
I'm not going to move abroad.
Mo Mo eats sandwiches only.
Qiao Yi?
What are you doing here?
You don't have an umbrella?
Let's walk together.
Come back.
But, Qiao Yi doesn't have an umbrella.
That's none of your business.
Have you eaten?
From now on,
stop buying these things for me.
They are dirty...
and expensive.
The food from the hospital's canteen is alright.
Mom.
Go home and take a bath after you have your meal.
Why do I need to take a bath? This is the hospital.
You said that dad...
loves to see you clean and pretty.
If he suddenly wakes up and sees you in this state,
he'll faint.
Alright then.
I can go home and bring some stuffs over.
Look after him for me.
You bought so much for me.
I can't finish it.
Please wake up.
You look like you're afraid of me.
I thought you've completed the procedures.
The umbrella.
What is this?
A lie detector.
When a person lies, the heart rate increases...
and the adrenaline levels rise.
This watch can give me real time feedback...
and tell me if you're lying.
Where did you get it from?
You don't have to know.
I feel like you're hiding something from me.
Now answer my questions.
-Are you a woman? -Yes.
Where were you that night?
-The school. -It was 8 pm.
Why were you in school?
I was revising.
What were you revising?
English.
Why did you change your mind about going abroad?
I told you that I'm stressed out.
Then why were you revising at 8 pm?
Let me ask you again. Where were you that night?
The hospital.
The hospital?
Why were you in the hospital?
Don't worry, Qiao Yi.
I've done a research.
He can recover.
Acupuncture treatment and surgeries can help him.
My mom is going to Shanghai next week.
I'll ask her to bring along Uncle Tian's medical record...
and find the best doctor for him.
I'm sure he'll recover.
What if he doesn't?
Then...
we can buy the best wheelchair for him.
It's not funny. I'm serious.
Thank you.
Why are you thanking me?
I don't have a dad.
So, your dad is my dad.
Why are you still here?
Is that what you should say to a visitor?
Let's go. I'll walk you home.
See you.
Zhao Guan Chao.
I have a question.
What is it?
You've never liked me.
Right?
I...
You should have told me earlier.
Then...
we should have split the money from the bet.
I'm sorry.
Guan Chao, let's make a promise.
From now on,
for better, for worse,
for richer, for poorer,
in sickness and in health,
in happiness and in sadness,
I, Hao Wu Yi,
will always be Zhao Guan Chao's best friend!
Pinky promise.
Now you don't have to feel bad.
I won't be angry either.
Goodbye,
my best friend.
Let me have that. You can't take it with you anyway.
Let me have that too.
You can't take it with you.
Okay.
What about this?
What do you think? It looks good on me, right?
This is a lie detector.
Why are you so nervous?
-I'm not nervous. -Then calm down.
I'll ask you a few questions.
What... What do you want to know?
Did you meet Qiao Yi after we came back?
-No. -You're lying.
We met her at the school gate that day.
I was present too.
I forgot.
You're trying to hide the fact that you met her without telling me, right?
-No. -What did she tell you?
Nothing.
What are you two hiding from me?
No... Nothing.
Fei Da Chuan.
You're lying to me.
I'm your nephew.
How could you lie to me?
Don't give me that, okay?
I surrender.
I can't believe this.
Where did you get this...
lie detector?
It's just a normal watch.
I just want to know the truth.
I actually wanted to tell you.
But, Qiao Yi wouldn't let me.
I can't believe...
she's hiding something so serious from you.
If I were her, I would have broken down.
Get straight to the point.
Her dad got into an accident.
