[The White Olive Tree]

[Episode 22]

[This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to reality is purely coincidental.]

What's going on?

You came to see me and even brought your laptop along.

Are you thinking that

if we get caught,

you'll say we're revising?

Revising what?

Ways to elope?

Sure.

Let's revise the ways to elope.

I'm here for serious matters.

I want to watch cartoons with you.

I've downloaded the video.

So this is the serious matter?

It's much more serious than revising.

Why aren't you watching the video

and keep looking at me instead?

I've seen it many times.

What?

You didn't tell me

you like to watch cartoons too?

I was just curious

about the cartoon you watched with Dr. Pei that day.

So entertaining

that you drank so much.

So I secretly watched it when I got back.

After watching it,

I actually find it fun.

So I watched it a few more times.

Every time I think of you,

I would watch it.

Zan,

will you always be this nice to me?

Will you betray me?

Will you break up with me?

I won't.

If I break up with you,

shot me to death.

What era is it now?

Why would there be shooting.

Stop talking nonsense.

Don't worry.

It won't happen.

Still, you shouldn't talk nonsense.

Touch wood.

Touch the head.

Quick, touch it.

What's wrong?

If one day,

we really do break up,

I don't want anything bad to happen to you.

Auntie is coughing again.

Could it be that my mom noticed

because we were too loud just now?

I think Auntie

coughed several times today.

Yeah.

She caught a cold some time ago

and started coughing since.

She was clearly getting better though.

Let's bring her to see a doctor tomorrow.

If this goes on,

it may turn into bronchitis.

And I feel like

your mom didn't look well today.

She only looked better after putting on some makeup.

But my mom hates going to the hospital.

I'm counting on you

to take her there.

Didn't you say the more times they meet,

the more mother-in-laws like their son-in-laws?

Who else can I count on?

Let's watch a while more.

Okay.

[Dicheng People's Hospital]

Alright. Stop following me.

As if I have some serious illness.

Li Zan, don't you need to do a checkup on your ears?

Let's split up.

Don't waste time.

Okay, Auntie.

Mom.

Text me when you're done.

We'll wait for you in the lobby on the first floor.

I'm so mad.

No matter how much I nag her,

she would never come to the hospital.

Why did she come with you immediately

when you said so this morning?

Is she my mom or your mom?

Ours.

That's right too.

Later,

you can wait for me here while having coffee.

There's no place to sit upstairs.

The checkup will be quick this time.

You don't have to follow me around.

Song Ran.

Dr. He.

What a coincidence.

It's not a coincidence.

I ran into Aunt Ran just now.

She told me you came with your boyfriend.

I was curious

so I came to see you.

He just went for a checkup on his ears.

His ears...

Previously,

he got injured in the Eastern Country.

But he's much better now.

Then I'm relieved.

What's wrong?

Dr. He,

do you know if Li Zan

has other health problems?

That's not the case.

Ran.

You're done?

I...

am taking a walk.

I'm not bored.

I just like to take a stroll.

Okay.

I'll let you get on with it.

I was thinking

he'd better not be fooling the Ran I know.

Now it seems like

he was probably visiting the ear doctor

and didn't want you to worry.

Am I

being busybody?

No.

You're not.

The person you describe is so much like him.

He's always like this.

He doesn't want me to worry

and shoulders everything by himself.

Just like when he came for the checkup today.

He's much better now,

but he still doesn't let me follow him.

It means he cares about you,

and you're happy.

I'm taking my leave.

If you need anything,

feel free to come to me.

Don't hesitate.

Don't you want to see him?

You're not waiting for him anymore?

We met last time.

He's handsome.

Seems like I can't avoid him now.

Zan.

Let me introduce.

This is Li Zan.

He's my boyfriend.

This is He Shanran.

He's a doctor in this hospital.

She's a friend of my mother.

Hello, Dr. He.

Hello.

I ran into Aunt Ran at my department.

She said Ran is here too,

so I came to say hello.

Dr. He.

Which department are you in?

Ophthalmology.

In the future, if Mr. Li

has any issues with your eyes,

feel free to come to me.

Don't be afraid of troubling me.

Only

my ears are not good.

My eyes are fine.

I...

Dr. He.

Thank you.

Ran must have

troubled you before.

Thank you for taking care of her.

You're welcome.

I'll get back to work.

Nice to meet you.

Me too.

My mom hasn't made a move for a long time.

Let's go check on her.

Ran.

I think we might have been tricked by her.

The departments of ophthalmology and respiratory medicine

are in two different directions.

And the ophthalmology department

is near the exit of the hospital.

Dr. He saw Auntie near the ophthalmology department.

I think

she might have left.

She just didn't want to embarrass me

so she agreed to come to the hospital.

Get going with your things.

Don't worry about me.

I'm going to work.

You're right.

Auntie

does have a strong personality.

I assumed too much.

It seems like

there really is someone Zan can't handle.

Anyway, Auntie

has great taste.

Dr. He is nice.

Isn't he the one

Auntie introduced to be your boyfriend?

How did you know?

The way he looked at you was different.

Plus, he was acting too nervous to see me

and kept using Aunt Ran as an excuse.

Isn't it obvious?

Your eyes

are too sharp.

It's a little scary.

Didn't you always say

my eyes are pretty?

Why are you saying they're scary now?

Unless you want to...

I don't dare to.

I don't dare to.

♫A blue pen♫

Let's go.

♫Gently leaves ink stains♫

♫Writing down your name♫

I'm going back to Xi Country tomorrow.

♫Pretending not to care♫

Let me accompany you today.

Okay.

♫I'm getting way into it♫

♫Will you♫

♫See the ordinary me?♫

I recommend you a self-defense course.

There's no need.

♫Do-re-mi-fa-sol-sol-sol-mi-re♫

Don't be afraid, it's simple.

Let me demonstrate to you.

♫Do-re-mi-fa-mi-fa-mi-re-do♫

♫The melody hidden in my heart is made for you♫

♫How I wish I could hear you say♫

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

♫I really want to tell you♫

♫I'm so into you♫

♫I'm so into you♫

After you get on the plane,

remember to get some sleep.

Don't worry about me.

Look at yourself.

You didn't sleep at all last night.

I told you not to come today but you didn't listen.

See, your eyes are so red.

No way.

You're leaving for so long this time.

♫Don't know where this road♫

I can catch up on sleep for very long

when I'm go back later.

♫Takes me to♫

Okay.

♫Don't know where to restart♫

Alright.

Then I'll go now.

♫Feeling fool♫

Rest well when you're back.

♫I'm staring out the night♫

♫Goodbye, my friend♫

If you're allowed to bring them on the plane,

♫To the laughter♫

I would have bought some for you.

After you've gotten them,

remember to send me a video.

♫So long, my friend♫

Okay.

♫Should have known you'd♫

♫Bring me this way♫

♫Saying goodbye to the place where I call home♫

I couldn't find any other excuse.

Mom, I’m back.

Did you go and see Li Zan off?

Did you cry?

Such a disappointment.

I just didn't sleep well last night.

Listen closely.

You can't be too immersed in a relationship.

First of all, you must focus on your career

and make yourself stronger.

Secondly, you need to learn to protect yourself.

You can’t just give your heart away

to everyone you meet.

Hold back a little

and leave yourself a way out.

Men won't leave you a way out when they decide to be mean.

Mom,

Li Zan is not that kind of person.

Not only is he nice to me,

he also cares about you.

When you stood us up

in the hospital yesterday,

not only did he not blame you,

he also kept reminding me

to tell you to see a doctor,

that it'll be bad if it turns into bronchitis.

You're in the honeymoon phase now.

Of course he would want to please me.

Don't think of people as being so simple.

When the time comes, you won't even find a place to cry.

Why must you think of others

in such a bad way?

I've met a kind

and an excellent person.

Is it that hard to believe?

Not all men will betray you

like Dad did.

Mom.

I...

I...

I...

I didn't raise you by my side.

But you turned out to be

the exact version of me,

not like Song Zhicheng at all.

But crying isn't like me at all.

I hope he keeps treating you well

and like how he did last night.

Ms. Ran Yuwei,

the result of your medical report

[Medical Examination Report]

is not ideal.

There's a suspicious shadow in your lungs.

I suggest you

to do further examination as soon as possible.

Ran,

I have never once

regretted a decision in my life.

Even if it's marrying your father, I have never regretted it.

That's because I have you.

But there's only one thing

I regret,

which is not raising you when you were young

and spending too little time with you.

Now, I don't want to waste

our time together anymore.

As for these messy things,

let's leave them to fate.

Ran,

I've received the Level 3 demining certificate.

[Xi Country]

In two weeks,

I can take the Level 3+ exam.

I told you you'd be fine.

Congratulations.

Does that mean you'll be back soon?

If

I pass it successfully.

Otherwise, I'll have to wait another two weeks.

There's still one more chance to sit for a makeup exam.

That won't happen.

You'll definitely pass it at once.

You have so much confidence in me.

I don't.

I just miss you.

[Luo Zhan]

Hello, Luo Zhan.

I need your help.

Two weeks later,

I'll be taking the Level 3+ exam.

It's mainly on

the demolition of explosives.

Don't your friend in the Xi Country

have a simulation training base?

I want to practice it first.

I haven't touched a bomb for a long time.

I'm worried that I've lost the skills.

Song Ran.

Your previous script

really touched me.

Your description of the Eastern Country,

including the ordinary people,

the scenery of cities

like Happo and Uglai,

and the people living there,

such as the reporters,

doctors,

and soldiers,

has impressed me.

It made me want to visit the Eastern Country myself

to see the natural scenery there

and to take a look

at the people and things there.

I didn't expect that

you would write such an great amount

and with such high quality again this time.

You have really changed

my opinion of you.

Maybe it's right for you to resign.

You're really suitable for writing.

Mr. Luo,

stop praising me.

I've just

found myself

a suitable standpoint.

All words are written with heartfelt emotions.

I want to thank

all the people and things that inspired me.

Mr. Luo,

you're my editor.

You can't always be praising me.

You should give me some advice.

Okay.

Mom.

My eyes.

[Dicheng People's Hospital]

It doesn't seem very serious at the moment.

I'll prescribe some eye drops for you.

Keep dripping it every day.

If it doesn't get any better,

you may need to have a minor surgery

to remove your eye lesion.

Don't worry.

It's not a big problem.

Thank you, Dr. He.

You're welcome.

I'll ask Aunt Ran to come in.

Wait.

Dr. He,

can you do me a favour?

How is she?

Is it serious?

That's not the issue, Auntie.

It's just that Ran isn't very cooperative.

Song Ran.

How old are you now?

You’re supposed to listen to the doctor when you're sick.

Can't you understand that?

The older you get, the more ridiculous you are.

Aren't you sick too?

And you don't want to see a doctor.

How is that the same?

How is that different?

This is called

like mother,

like daughter.

If you want me to cooperate,

you...

You have to see a doctor too.

Are you threatening me

with your own health?

Mom.

This is not threatening.

In a normal mother-daughter relationship,

this would just be called acting spoiled, right?

Can...

Can we

have some

normal mother-daughter interactions?

I think you're not being normal at all.

I'm afraid you need to check your brain too.

Shanran.

You're also messing around with her.

Auntie.

I think what Ran said

makes a lot of sense.

If you're not feeling well,

you should go for a checkup.

I've heard you cough several times too.

Once you've gotten it checked thoroughly,

Ran would stop being worried.

As for now,

although her eyes are fine,

she still have to keep her mood light.

Alright.

Enough.

If I still believe you now,

I would be a real fool.

Fine.

I'll go check it now.

Are you satisfied?

No.

You fooled me so many times.

I don't believe you anymore.

Dr. He,

Can you hire a nurse

to accompany my mom,

and supervise her at the same time?

Sure.

No problem.

You're going too far now.

I'm warning you.

Don't act like a spoiled child.

So pretentious.

I can't stand it.

Wen.

Can you bring Auntie

to the respiratory department for a checkup.

Okay.

Dr. He,

do you also

think I'm being awkward

and pretentious?

No.

This is the first time

I act spoiled towards her.

I don't even know

if my brain is really messed up,

I actually acted spoiled towards her.

She hates this the most.

I think

Auntie Ran

doesn't hate you acting spoiled at all.

You can't see clearly now,

but I saw that

she couldn't help but smile.

That expression

didn't look like dislike.

Instead,

it seems like she likes it.

Really?

Yes.

I don't think I've mistaken it.

I think you should try to have

more normal mother-daughter interactions

in the future.

Mom.

Has your

medical report come out?

How could it be so quick?

There are still a few test results left.

Don't worry about me.

You're too naggy.

It's a scam call.

I'm hanging up.

Don't.

This number is obviously a scam call.

It's not.

Why did you simply hang up my calls?

Did it start with 0069?

It really does.

Do you know this number?

Of course I do.

Call it back.

It's Zan.

Here.

Don't eavesdrop.

Go away.

You’ve got guts now?

Ran.

I'm here.

I was too eager

and pressed the wrong button.

I have good news for you.

The Chronicles of Eastern Country

is going well.

Mr. Luo said

I wrote well.

He said I've found

my own inspiration.

Guess

what my inspiration is?

What is it?

Is it me?

You're so shameless.

Not only shameless,

but also self-indulgent.

How are you self-indulgent?

It's you.

Of course it's you.

You don't believe me?

Then come back

ask Mr. Luo yourself.

He can't wait

to see my source of inspiration.

Please.

Stay there.

Stay there.

I will blow up everyone here.

Zan.

Ran.

It seems that

the medicine I prescribed for you

are not working

in your case.

We may need to perform a minor surgery

to scrape the lesion from your eye.

But like I said before,

you don't have to worry.

It's just a minor surgery.

How long will it take to recover?

It can take effect in three to five days after the surgery.

If everything goes well,

you can recover

in two to three weeks.

Xiaoyi.

Go ahead.

Please call Zan.

I didn't hear you clearly.

Please say it again.

Xiaoyi.

Please...

What silly thing are you doing agaim?

Dr. He said

I still need a week to recover.

But Zan

will be back in two days.

I don't want him to worry about me,

nor be mad at me for not telling him.

So I want to find a way

to drag him on,

and make him come back a few days later.

But I still haven't

figured out a good excuse.

Ran.

Now that you're having issues with your eye,

it's the perfect time for Li Zan to come back

and take care of you.

But look at you.

You're thinking of ways to not let him come back.

Why do you need a boyfriend?

You don't show weakness when you need to.

When no one cares for you,

don't come crying to me.

I won't cry to you.

Didn't you say

you can't stand it

when I show my weakness?

That's towards me.

I wasn't talking about you showing it to your boyfriend.

Alright.

I need to rest.

Here.

Slowly.

I can't accompany you forever.

Li Zan didn't pass the certification assessment?

It's not that he didn't pass.

He didn't even take the exam.

What?

That's impossible.

If he didn't take the exam,

what was he practicing for

at your place every day?

I find it strange too.

So I went to check the CCTV.

See for yourself.

Anyway, your friend

definitely has something going on.
