[Episode 38]

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

Zan, it's okay.

Zan.

-What’s wrong with you? -Ran, run!

Why did you hit my son?

Apologize to my son!

Sorry.

Apologize!

I will kill her!

Go now!

It's all right, Zan.

Ran.

Run, Ran!

Ran!

Zan.

How dare you hit my mother!

Run!

Be careful!

Move aside, please make way.

Zan!

Zan!

Zan!

I'm here.

Run!

Zan.

Ran!

I'm here.

Ran!

He hit a child! He hit a child!

People like him have no social morals.

Stay back!

Sorry.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Stay back!

Stay back!

Stay back!

Zan.

Stay back!

Zan.

Stay back!

Sorry.

We're in China.

We're safe now.

Zan.

I'm Ran, Zan.

Look at me.

Christ!

You hit my son and now you want to run?

It's not that easy.

I'm calling the police.

-Sorry. -Don’t catch her!

He's sick.

Sorry.

No!

He really didn't mean to do it.

Don't catch her!

He's sick.

Don't catch her!

I knew there must be something wrong with him.

He's crazy.

Please.

Please, let Ran go.

This man looks very strange.

He's sick.

That's why he acts like this.

Sick? What kind of sickness?

Is he crazy?

Sorry.

If he's crazy, he should be locked up at home.

Sorry.

What if he comes out and hurts someone?

Who would be responsible?

Let it go, ma'am.

Yeah. Forget it.

Well, he didn't do it on purpose.

Disperse, everyone!

Let's just disperse.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Zan.

Zan, it's okay now.

Zan.

Zan.

Don't be afraid.

We'll be home soon.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

I'm here.

Zan.

Have some water.

Here.

I'm sorry, Ran.

Don't say that.

Ran.

I've caused you trouble again.

I...

Don't say that.

Aren't you afraid of making me angry?

Don't say sorry to me.

Zan.

Zan.

Zan.

I... I'm not angry with you.

I know.

Zan.

Please stop apologizing to me.

You're not a burden to me.

You've done nothing wrong.

You don't have to apologize to me.

No.

It's my fault.

I've been

lying to you all along.

Zan.

I used a paper cup the other day

because I couldn't remember

it was mine.

Every time I ask you to close the curtains,

it's not because I feel hot,

but because I'm afraid the bright sunlight

will remind me of the Eastern Country.

I haven't gained any weight

because I throw up

every time I eat.

Ran.

I've always wanted you to think I was okay,

even if I wasn't normal, I was still okay.

Because I thought

I would never hurt you anyway.

But today,

not only did I

almost hurt you,

I also embarrassed you so much.

Zan.

Ran.

I'm not

the one you like anymore.

Please take me to the hospital.

Every word you say

feels like a needle stabbing me.

It makes me feel

that I've done such a poor job.

I'm so slow-witted.

I haven't taken good care of you.

I can't believe I haven't taken good care of you

and I've let you bear all this alone.

You've come back

but you still need to bear all this alone.

No, Ran.

Ran.

I'm sorry.

It's not like that, Ran.

Ran, don't blame yourself.

I won't...

I won't blame myself either, okay?

Zan.

I swore

that I would never leave you alone.

I will always be by your side.

If you go to the hospital,

I'll go with you.

I'll stay with you.

I'll stay there for the rest of my life and never leave.

You can't drive me away.

No one can separate us.

No one can separate us.

What are you talking about, Ran?

No one

wants to spend their whole life in a hospital if they're not sick.

I won't go.

You won't go either.

Actually, I...

I don't want to go to the hospital.

I'll listen to you, Ran.

No matter how hard it is,

we'll slowly get through this together.

Okay?

Don't cry, Ran.

Then let's

make dinner, shall we?

I'm a bit hungry.

Okay.

Okay.

Will you throw up after eating?

I'll eat less.

I think I won't.

It's fine.

I'll take it slow.

I'll gradually eat more.

Is that okay?

I'll listen to you.

I'll listen to you.

Let's take it slow.

I won't feed you so much anymore.

Let's just take it slow.

Okay.

Ran,

I always thought if I endured the suffering alone,

gritting my teeth and bearing it,

I could always get through it.

As long as I could be with you,

any punishment seemed insignificant.

But today I realized

I was wrong.

Being with me

will drag you down with me,

until

we fall into hell.

Benjamin is dead,

right?

You never told me,

but I know.

He's dead,

just like Jiang Lin.

He died trying to save me.

Don't scare me.

-If anything happens to you because of me, -Zan.

I'd rather go back to that dungeon,

-and go back to hell. -Zan!

Zan!

I'd rather face it alone.

Hello, is Mr. Luo inside?

He's in the office.

I've already been through this once

and almost lost you.

I really haven't seen him.

There's no way you don't know that.

I can't go through it a second time.

Given Zan's current situation,

he can't go far on his own.

He must be seeking help from someone.

So...

You're the person Zan trusts most in Liangcheng.

How could you not know that?

Please forgive me.

You're right.

He must be seeking help from someone.

But that person...

I know it's difficult...

It's not me.

But

I left anyway.

Uncle Li.

Has Zan gone back?

Ran, Zan hasn't come back.

What's wrong?

Did you two have a fight?

No.

Then he might have gone for a walk.

It's okay. I'll wait a bit longer.

I'll hang up now, Uncle Li.

Okay.

Back to the Eastern Country as a volunteer again.

I met Ms. Song.

Do you need a comb?

♫We're at the farewell station again♫

I teased Ms. Song a bit during demining.

That's all.

That's all?

♫I wait with you but don't want the train to come♫

Then will it explode?

Ms. Song is different

♫I can't find you♫

♫You don't belong to me anymore♫

from her appearance.

♫We look at each other from afar♫

♫Far away from each other♫

♫Now, on other ends of the earth♫

Ms. Song blushes easily.

♫How many places do you want to go?♫

You're trying to sneak an attack?

Ms. Song is quite adorable.

♫When the flight and distance♫

Ms. Song.

♫Are no longer problems♫

♫Unfortunately♫

I saw a white olive tree today

♫We lost contact long ago♫

with Ms. Song.

-I wish for world peace. -I wish for world peace.

♫When love is buried deep♫

♫The castle piled up on the beach♫

♫Time washes it away♫

♫Let me guess♫

♫Have you ever walked into♫

♫The castle you built for me♫

♫And disappeared at dawn?♫

♫This love is buried deep♫

♫In the castle on the beach♫

♫Time washes it away♫

♫Let me guess, have you ever walked into♫

♫The castle you built♫

♫And disappeared at dawn?♫

♫I crossed the beach with my finger♫

♫Writing down your name♫

♫To my left♫

Zan!

♫The sea breeze heard♫

♫My secret♫

♫I wish you were still by my side♫

I knew something was wrong

♫Whether we are friends or strangers♫

when you wouldn't let me come.

♫It doesn't matter♫

♫We haven't gone to the place we promised♫

♫Put a coin into the wishing pool♫

Mom!

♫Please let it guide me to find you♫

♫Let me guess, have you ever walked into♫

Mom.

♫The castle you built for me♫

♫And disappeared at dawn?♫

Mom.

Zan is gone.

I can't find him.

What should I do?

Ran.

Without Li Zan,

would you be able to go on living?

I'd live

as if I were dead.

Are you going to say I'm useless again?

Yes.

But I...

I envy you.

I always thought

that in this life,

I could have a love worth risking everything for.

If it weren't for having you in the end,

my reckless pursuit

would have been a complete joke.

Ran.

You've finally found your own love.

It's bitter

and

it might break your heart,

but as long as you don't regret it,

I'll let you go for it.

Even if it's like a moth to a flame,

I'll still let you go for it.

Mom.

You...

I can relate to that.

Who do you think

you got all these good qualities

and bad habits from?

Go to Jiangcheng.

What?

Go find Li Zan's father.

But I've asked Uncle Li.

He doesn't know where Zan is either.

And about Zan's illness,

we only told him a little bit.

You only inherited

half of my intelligence.

Ran.

At a time like this,

those who would do anything unconditionally

are only parents.

Those who can be fully trusted by children

are also only parents.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Thank you.

Uncle Li.

I've lost Zan.

You said

if I ever lost him again,

I should tell you,

and you would help me find him.

Do you still keep your word?

Zan insisted on coming here.

Otherwise,

I might never see him again.

[Jiangcheng Psychiatric Rehabilitation Center]

I won't leave Zan here alone.

Sometimes life is just like that.

As long as you're still alive,

and want to keep living,

no matter how hard it gets,

whether you accept it or not,

you just have to endure it.

It's the same for everyone.

Do you blame him?

There are some things in this world

that someone has to do, right?

Since he did it,

and he doesn't regret it,

I won't blame him.

But if you ask me

if I'm willing to accept it,

how could I be?

However,

compared to those children who lost their lives,

I should be content.

Sorry.

We've

caused you trouble.

Don't be silly.

From now on, Zan

will really need to rely on you completely.

Today,

I saw Ms. Song again.

She said

she wanted to give me a red string.

Her wrists are so slender.

She finally came to the bar.

At the airport,

I ran into Ms. Song.

♫She is a white island♫

She looked pretty good.

♫The colorful wind rushes past♫

That's good.

♫Lonely waves, starlit glow♫

♫Quietly leaning together♫

♫Autumn reflects in the water♫

She came to my place to cook today.

Do you have a pot at home?

It's up there.

♫He is a blue sailboat♫

I see it.

♫Sailing alone♫

♫Through the boundless night♫

I confessed to her.

I was a little nervous.

♫His sails dancing in the wind♫

♫Silently by her side♫

I like you so much.

♫Heading toward her shore♫

I like you, too.

♫The sky turns a deeper blue♫

♫The brilliant night♫

I want to die.

♫Has never shone so bright♫

Ladies and gentlemen,

the plane has landed at Gamma International Airport.

♫A white island♫

The outside temperature is 38 degrees Celsius.

The plane is now taxiing.

♫Blooms in the vast sea♫

Just do me a favor.

♫I wish I could pick it♫

Don't contact me anymore.

♫And give it to you♫

Ran has come to Uglai.

She posted an update.

Back to Uglai City.

♫She is a white island♫

♫Maybe the world has long forgotten her♫

I want to go home

together with her.

I'm homesick.

I want to go back.

♫Lonely waves, city lights♫

What about you, Ran?

Do you want to go back?

♫Drifting softly apart♫

Yes.

♫Longing lingers in the reflection♫

I do.

♫He is a blue sailboat♫

Song today...

♫He once lost♫

acted like my wife.

♫The warmth of the harbor♫

♫No more words are needed♫

♫Just quietly gazing♫

Yellow croaker.

I saved it for you.

♫Heading toward her shore♫

New Year's wish.

♫The sky turns a deeper blue♫

♫The brilliant night♫

Marry her.

♫Has never shone so bright♫

Marry you.

♫A white island♫

I don't want anything else,

♫Blooms in the vast sea♫

but this one.

♫I wish I could pick it♫

I think I can make it come true.

♫And give it to you♫

♫A white island♫

♫A blue sailboat♫

♫Heading toward her shore♫

♫The sky turns a deeper blue♫

♫The night has never been so dazzling♫

Zan.

♫A white island♫

♫Blooms in the vast sea♫

♫I wish I could pick it♫

♫And give it to you♫

Can you forget

every day in this diary?

♫And she will remember you and me♫

Don't you get it?

No matter where you go,

or what you experience,

we can only be together.

Even if we go to hell,

we can only be together.

You can't save me.

I don't want to be saved either.

Because every word in this diary

has tied us firmly together.

No one can separate us,

not even you.

Zan.

Look,

this diary

is a record of our time together.

Do you remember?

Only the last line is a wish

that hasn't come true yet.

Zan,

let's

make it come true,

okay?

Zan.

Zan.

Do you regret it?

Don't you want to marry me?

Zan.

Zan.

I do.

I do

want to marry Ran.

Zan.

Ran.

You once said

you wanted to be a bird in your next life.

I said I'd be a big tree then.

But now I regret it.

In the next life, I still want to be Zan,

the one who marries Ran.

You shouldn't be a little bird either.

You will still be Ran,

the one who marries Zan.

Okay?

Okay.

What kind of life do you hope

we'll have in our next life?

Enjoy the beauty of life,

♫The moon shines on you tonight♫

free and easy,

a life without worries.

♫There are countless stars♫

We don't have to wait for the next life.

We can live like that in this life.

♫Shyly, you close your eyes♫

I think...

Wait!

♫Where are you going in this moonlight?♫

On our wedding night,

♫The evening breeze blows gently♫

there's something I want to do too.

♫Why don't we take a slow walk♫

Let's

♫At this moment in the galaxy♫

write it down together,

okay?

♫There's only you and me♫

♫Cause you're so beautiful♫

♫And the moonlight too, is so beautiful♫

♫Who'd dare to desire to possess it?♫

♫You are so beautiful♫

[Elope]

♫Even with the light from a million stars♫

♫Only you can light up♫

Will you elope with me?

♫My heart♫

Aren't we

already eloping?

Dad, Mom,

Zan won't get better.

Except for each other, Zan and I

don't want to trouble anyone else anymore,

especially you.

So,

♫Don't know where this road♫

we've eloped.

Please be happy for us,

♫Takes me to♫

because we've never been this happy before.

♫Don't know where to restart♫

[The White Olive Tree]

Please give

♫Feeling a fool♫

the manuscript on the table

to Mr. Luo Junfeng at the publishing house.

This is the story I owe him.

♫I'm staring out the night♫

[Six months later]

This is the story of Zan and me.

♫Bury deep my pain♫

♫To the place feeling good♫

Please ask him to forgive me

for not discussing it with him

♫Don't cost a thing♫

and changing the book title without permission.

♫This is not what I want♫

Because Zan and I

♫I'm not running from♫

both think this name is more suitable:

[The White Olive Tree]

♫Where your love♫

♫Always been enough for me♫

The White Olive Tree.

♫Goodbye, my friend♫

♫To the laughter♫

Are you alone?

♫And pain we had♫

Do you mind if I join?

♫Saying goodbye to the endless nights in the rain♫

Sorry,

I'm good, just with my drink.

Dr. Pei,

♫So long, my friend♫

this is all of Benjamin's savings.

He asked me to give it to you

♫Should have known you'd♫

to exchange it all for alcohol.

♫Bring me this way♫

He said this is the best promise

♫Saying goodbye to the place where I call home♫

he can give you in this life.

[The White Olive Tree]

[Department of Journalism, Todewell University]

Morning, Ben.

Morning.

Bye!

Jiang Yu, your letter.

Jiang Yu, I've been on a mission

and couldn't congratulate you in person for ranking first in the final exams.

The scenery here is beautiful.

I picked the most beautiful postcard

as my congratulations to you.

♫Goodbye, my friend♫

I hope one day

you can come and see for yourself

this beautiful world.

♫To the laughter♫

♫And pain we had♫

♫Saying goodbye to the endless nights in the rain♫

Zan, see!

White olive tree!

♫So long, my friend♫

Look, it's white olive!

♫Should have known you'd♫

♫Bring me this way♫

♫Saying goodbye to the place where I call home♫

Zan, look!

That old lady didn't lie to us.

Our white olive tree

has really grown.

Yes.

It is still so tall

and beautiful,

just like the white olive grove

we saw back then.

[May you enjoy the beauty of life and live a free and easy life]
