=Episode 22= (Your Dad's Strong Alcohol)

Who is it?

Hurry, Xingqi, come in.

- Luzhou. - Ms. Mei.

Give it to me.

Come on.

When you finish your homework,

I'll take you to the park.

Keep your word.

Don't run off.

Your dad is waiting for you.

Not now.

You brat.

Ms. Mei, here you are.

I'll be going now.

Where are you going, Luzhou?

You haven't been back for long.

I'll pour you a glass of water.

Come on.

Come on.

I'll go get some fruit.

I have brought him here.

I'll be going now.

Aren't you going to sit?

No.

Luzhou,

I know,

it's too late to say anything now.

But I still want to tell you,

being your dad,

I am very honored.

From a young age till now,

you have been smarter and more understanding

than your peers.

You've never made me worry.

The fact that you're growing up day by day,

excelling in your schoolwork,

has made me

the envy of other parents.

I am truly proud of you.

In contrast,

I have really been a terrible father.

I didn't manage the relationship with your mom well,

and I insisted

on sending you abroad.

Now even Xingqi won't talk to me.

It was me who destroyed this family.

Let's not mention the past anymore.

Xingqi

is just in a rebellious phase.

Show him more care.

Luzhou,

no matter what,

this will always be your home.

Come back

whenever you want.

I can't accept it.

Take care

of your health.

When I have time, I'll visit you and Xingqi.

Bye, Dad.

(My boyfriend,)

(Xu has me visit my grandma.)

(I'm afraid I won't be back today.)

(Then what should I do?)

(Just bear with it.)

(I'll be back soon.)

(Bear with what? I mean my suitcase.)

(Don't you miss me?)

(I miss you too.)

(But right now,)

(I miss my suitcase more.)

(Is there something valuable inside?)

(My underwear.)

(So can you come back tomorrow?)

(It's up to my dad.)

(If he stays,)

(I can't just run back by myself, right?)

(I see that.)

(Your dad did it on purpose.)

Hey, hey, hey.

I have already wiped dry over there.

What's wrong?

Xu,

you do this on purpose?

I just think that brat is dumb.

He said that because he's afraid you can't accept it.

I can't accept it?

I'm not against you dating.

Be it a boyfriend or a husband,

it must be built on

the foundation of mutual attraction.

Right?

But such a foundation is with conditions.

You need to understand.

I roughly understand.

You guys are young now,

but over time,

this attraction will change.

If this guy has a sense of responsibility,

that's good.

If not,

he may cheat

or refuse to marry you.

Isn't it just wasting your time?

Chen Luzhou wouldn't do that.

I know he wouldn't.

On the contrary,

I actually think highly of him.

I feel

he's more mature than your peers.

But you're my daughter.

If I don't take this opportunity to point out his flaws to establish

my authority,

in the future,

what if he treats you bad?

Break his leg.

A thumbs up to you.

Dad,

Chen Luzhou is already subdued

by your authority.

He really said that.

It worked.

So,

when do you plan to return his suitcase?

Don't worry.

I never planned to make things difficult for him.

Dry the area you wet yourself.

Got it.

Who is it?

Mr. Fu.

I heard you don't have underwear.

Xu Zhi told you, right?

Thank you.

Won't you invite me in for a cup of tea?

Please.

Um...

There's no... no tea at home.

Is water okay?

No problem.

That table...

Sorry about that.

Your table...

Why are there mechanisms

everywhere?

This is for you.

Well,

I heard from Xu Zhi

that you two are dating.

Yes, is there a problem with that?

There's no big problem.

But

there are indeed a few small problems.

Have you ever

been in love before?

No.

Impossible.

Really, you're not fooling me?

Forget it.

After asking this,

shouldn't you ask about family?

I don't care about family issues.

Everyone has family issues.

And it doesn't change anything.

If someone asks about your family background,

it's just to see if you have money.

But,

even if you don't have money now,

you and Xu Zhi are both top students.

After graduation,

I believe

you'll live better.

What I care about

is the issue concerning men.

With conditions as good as yours,

it's normal if you go out and have fun.

I can understand.

But,

if you go out and have fun,

don't hold Xu Zhi back.

I don't want to see

the prodigal return with you two.

Mr. Fu, do I look like a prodigal?

A little.

Want me to say you're handsome?

Not really.

Mr. Fu, when you were young,

you must have been quite handsome.

Are you a prodigal?

You're quite smart.

I won't say much more.

You know what I mean.

I'll take my leave first.

Won't drink the water, Mr. Fu?

No.

I'm afraid you'll poison me.

Take care, I won't see you off.

Dad, have some water.

And you?

Not thirsty.

Xu,

about Ms. Wei,

does my grandma know?

Yes, she knows.

I told her before New Year.

Well, you kept it from me.

Didn't you keep your secret too?

In a couple of days,

let's invite Ms. Wei

and Luzhou.

If we are busy,

we won't meet much.

Since we are all home now,

let's have a meal and meet up.

Okay, I'll tell him.

Ms. Wei.

I just happened to bump into him.

Great, come in please.

- After you. - Okay.

Slippers.

Happy New Year.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Xu is cooking inside, right?

Yes, yes.

I'll go help.

- Here you are. - Come in.

Is there anything I can help with?

The slippers are a bit small.

I'll do it.

It's okay.

For me?

No, it's for your dad.

So thoughtful.

Are you nervous?

Of course not.

I've been through much.

Stop messing around, let's go.

Just put it up there.

- Come on. - Thank you.

Luzhou, try this one.

Okay.

Is it bland?

- Is it okay? - Yes.

- Delicious. - Try that one.

Salty herb chicken.

See if it's salty.

How is it?

Salty. No, it's just right.

It is fine.

I worried it'll be too salty.

The ribs are here.

The dishes are all here.

Come on, try this.

Are these ribs sweet?

Alright.

Are you here to taste the dishes?

I just want to see

if you and Zhi get along

when it comes to food.

Absolutely.

I love everything she loves to eat.

That's good then.

Cheers.

Cheers, Mr. Xu.

Can you drink?

Of course.

Good.

Xu Zhi,

open the gift I give you and take a look.

Okay.

There's a gift?

I didn't even know.

What did you buy?

- It's a secret. - You'll see.

What is it?

It's not a cake, is it?

It's so beautiful.

Really?

Xu showed me pictures of you when you were little.

I see you like motorcycles.

And you had many pictures of riding motorcycles.

I think you must like it.

Take a look.

- Good. - Look at it from all angles.

Indeed, you are much more considerate than me.

That's good.

- Looks good. - I like it.

Try it.

Extra large.

I wear an extra small.

Um...

I didn't know

and bought a wrong size.

I'll go buy a new one.

No need, no need.

I quite like this one.

And if I can't wear it,

he can wear it instead.

It suits him.

- Yes. - Good.

I like pink.

Then I'll go buy another one in a smaller size.

No need to spend more.

This one is just fine.

Come on, it's a good occasion.

Come on, cheers.

I must buy it, come on.

Cheers.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

- Chen Luzhou. - Here.

Do you know how to tie ponytails?

No, I don't.

Zhi,

bring over that vase.

What vase?

The one that you put

those colorful hair ties in.

Where did you put it?

There, there.

Here.

This is it.

They are really pretty.

Today, I'll share our family's

traditional ponytail tying technique

with you.

Don't be nervous.

Sometimes, you just have to endure things.

Do it on me?

Of course.

You should experience it.

This ponytail should be placed

at the best position, right?

It cannot

be tied too low.

Also, it can't be too high.

Just at this height,

it is the best.

But the hair must be smooth.

Smooth it down along the hair.

Luzhou, your hair is a bit short.

Don't move.

Okay, almost done.

Luzhou, want me to help you?

It's okay.

I actually also want to learn.

No, that's not right.

You've got to be quick.

If you're slow, she'll feel pain.

This time it worked.

You remember all these, right?

It looks good at certain positions.

While it looks less appealing

- somewhere. - Got it.

Good.

I am satisfied.

He's usually like this when he's drunk?

I'll help him in.

I remembered another one.

It's faster.

In case in the future,

she is late for work

or school,

remember

this method.

You'll be able to leave quickly.

Goodbye, Mr. Xu.

Take it slow.

Xu Zhi, it's okay.

You go see Luzhou off.

I'll take care of Xu.

Thank you, Ms. Wei.

Goodbye, Ms. Wei.

Goodbye.

Hold this for me.

I can also help you put on your shoes.

I put on shoes for you, okay?

They're already on.

Be careful on your way back.

Bye-bye.

I'm leaving.

- I'll carry you. - Come on.

I was just kidding.

Zhi,

help me charge it.

- Thank you. - Can I take a look?

Check on me?

I can't?

Go ahead. The password's your birthday.

Then forget it.

If you use my birthday as the password,

you have no shady secrets.

If you want to check, go ahead.

All my passwords are your birthday anyway,

except for the house and bank card passwords.

I'm most concerned about the bank card password.

Alright, money-grubber.

The same as 903.

Keep it safe.

Zhi,

do you have any wishes?

I hope my boyfriend

can transfer to

his favorite major.

That's an easy wish.

What do you want to do in the future?

What do you want me to do?

Don't you have your own ideas?

Yes, but I want to hear what you say.

You're doing well in your studies.

I think you could stay at school as a professor after graduation.

That would be great.

However, I believe

in the all-capable Chen Luzhou.

No matter what you do, you'll do it well.

Why does this sound so familiar?

You are quick.

Why do you always

want to pinch my cheek?

What about your wishes?

You guessed it all.

I thought you prepared gifts only for Xu.

Spare you this time.

Open it.

What is this?

♪Like a cloud drifting away♪

You made it yourself?

♪Freely crossing the vast sky♪

Do you like it?

You're quite resourceful and skillful.

I found out,

your dad's alcohol is really strong.

It's so strong I almost want to bow to my mom.

If she hadn't attracted you,

you wouldn't have gone to great lengths to approach me.

Then you also have to bow to Tan Xu.

Without him,

we wouldn't have met.

Stop giving me trouble, alright?

Just kidding.

So petty.

Shy Boy Chen,

I love you.

Me too.

Dad, last night, you...

Doesn't Chen Luzhou live nearby?

Call him here for breakfast.

He isn't up yet.

A top student from Huaguang University, sleeping in like this.

How will he take care of you?

He isn't late every day.

He works hard at school.

Do you remember

what you did last night?

Ms. Wei told me.

Chen Luzhou won't be mad, will he?

I tied so many ponytails.

No, he has a great temper.

Having a good temper is good.

Ms. Wei also praised him

for his politeness.

She said she noticed

whenever she talked to Chen Luzhou,

he would

put down his chopsticks

and listen carefully to her.

Ms. Wei is so attentive.

If she hadn't told me,

I wouldn't have known.

Are you praising Luzhou

or Ms. Wei?

What do you think of Ms. Wei?

She's nice, very gentle.

She seems very caring.

Yes, I think Chen Luzhou is good too.

He'll definitely be a good husband in the future.

Once you've

finished eating,

deliver it while it's hot.

What's wrong?

You care more about him than me.

Are you even jealous of this?

Of course, I'd be jealous of this.

Have you finished eating?

If you're done, go deliver it.

Otherwise, my sincerity would have cooled down.

We have everything.

Anything else?

Do you want jelly?

Yes.

Yellow peach jelly?

Okay.

Just take one packet, this one.

Mixed flavors.

I want to buy a gift for Ms. Wei.

But I don't know what to buy.

Figured it out so quickly?

I think Xu has had a hard time.

Do you know?

When I first got my period,

I couldn't get pads.

It was hard to tell Xu.

When I asked Cai Yingying for help,

I found out

Xu had already prepared it for me.

and placed it in the drawer of our bathroom.

These years, he's worked so hard.

It's indeed not easy.

It's actually quite nice to have Ms. Wei.

When I'm not around,

she can help take care of my dad.

Don't worry.

From now on, this honorable task is mine.

Which one do you want?

Are you stupid?

Let's go, let's go.

Then I'll pay the bill.

Why did you come back so soon?

Forgot something?

X-Xu.

Lian Hui.

How...

How did you...

How did you find this place?

Well.

This is your home?

The house is small.

Not at all.

Xu, I really didn't expect

Xu Zhi is your daughter.

I never thought of it.

She really does resemble you in some ways.

I'm still stunned

that Luzhou is your child.

- Sit down. - Okay, okay.

Come on.

I don't have much.

No, it's quite fine.

Have a glass of water.

Actually, I heard from my youngest son

Luzhou spent this New Year at your home.

I just came by to say thank you

and bring some gifts.

I didn't expect it's such a coincidence.

Yes.

Thanks to your youngest son, too.

We haven't

seen each other for so many years.

Well, Luzhou...

Xu,

let's not mention the past.

I also don't want him to know.

Alright.

All these years,

you've raised a kid alone.

It must've been tough for you.

You must be exhausted.

I've managed.

Your mom is at my house.

She's looking for you?

She shouldn't be.

She doesn't know I'm here.

Chen Xingqi told her?

No way.

I'll say the same.

I just hope

the mistakes I made

won't affect the kids.

These

are best kept from them.

Okay.

Rest assured, I promise you.

What's going on?

Have you ever thought

your mom is definitely not my mom,

but your dad might be my dad?

Why not break up first?

Alright.

Let's break up, then.

Give up so easily?

Lame.

Don't worry.

I won't fall in love with others.

Alright, since we've broken up already,

I have to go.

Seriously.

What's there to break up over?

We break up

for only one reason.

What?

That you don't love me.

What if it really is that dramatic?

Just endure it.

But you don't

really look like my dad.

What about personality?

No, not that either. Nothing is alike.

Why don't I go back first

and ask my dad subtly?

Leaving already?

Give me a kiss.

No, I can't

bring myself to kiss you.

Dad, I'm back.

You're back.

Wash your hands.

We can eat soon.

Dad.

Wait a moment.

What's up?

Tell me,

is there a possibility

that I was adopted?

How did you know?

Stop joking around.

You started it.

Go ahead, what's up?

I saw news today.

A person had a love child

and no one knew.

Later that person suddenly died,

and the child inherited the legacy.

Don't worry,

I have no legacy,

only a mortgage,

and a ton of debts.

Which one do you want?

How is it?

I only found out

my dad is pretty tight-lipped today.

I can't get anything out of him.

I think it's impossible.

That guy was a playboy.

I heard he chased girls and played with cars,

and was in a coma for long.

If so, my dad

wouldn't do such a thing.

But someone was a racer

when he was young,

and he was in a coma for a couple of years.

Really?

Who is it?

Fu Yuqing.

It's time to eat.

I have to go.

Chen Luzhou

sent you to ask me, right?

You know everything, huh?

How could I not know?

When you were in middle school,

you disliked the clothes I paired for you

and changed clothes on the way to school.

Before returning home,

you changed back.

Is that what happened?

I thought I hid it pretty well.

So is Mr. Fu actually

Chen Luzhou's father?

Is he?

Let me tell you a story.

Why are you here?

Do you want to have dinner with me tonight?

Is there something?

It's Fu Yuqing, right?

Was it Xu Zhi's dad who told you?

No.

When I took Xu Zhi home this afternoon,

I heard you talking to Mr. Xu.

Xu Zhi said his dad's social circle is simple.

Along with some clues you mentioned earlier,

it's not hard to guess.

I never expected

it's such a coincidence.

Xu Zhi's father is Xu Guangji.

Did you know Mr. Xu a long time ago?

Yes.

He's Fu Yuqing's friend.

When we were young,

we had a pretty good relationship.

Later, I broke up with Fu Yuqing.

And then I lost contact with him.

Why did you break up?

I was with him for several years.

The relationship was quite stable all along.

So I suggested we get married.

He refused?

Yes, he said he was still young

and didn't want to

get married so soon.

Since he refused,

why kept her waiting for so many years?

I thought,

in this materialistic world,

Mr. Fu was like an unpretentious jade.

I didn't expect him to be so bad.

The word "unpretentious"

has nothing to do with him at all.

Then what happened?

Later, he broke up with Lian Hui.

After they broke up,

he had a car accident.

He stayed in the hospital for four years.

In between, quite a few things happened in his family.

But he wouldn't talk about it.

He even had a child with Lian Hui,

and he didn't tell me.

Chen Luzhou is Ms. Lian Hui's biological child?

Yes.

It's so heartbreaking, even for me,

let alone Chen Luzhou.

Fate plays tricks on people.

Mr. Fu, after taking the child back,

had a car accident.

Luzhou's grandma

was unable to take care of him,

so she had to send him to an orphanage.

After Mr. Fu was discharged,

did he try to find Chen Luzhou?

He did.

But when he went to the orphanage,

the child had grown up,

and couldn't recognize him.

In the end, he even had to beg Lian Hui

to help them reunite.

Only then did Lian Hui find out

Luzhou was sent to an orphanage.

Mr. Fu took quite a few slaps that day.

Later, he had the nerve to ask me

to take him to the orphanage to reunite with you.

You know, at that moment, I clearly knew

he could never be a good father.

So I went to the orphanage

and brought you back home.

I lied to Fu Yuqing

you had already been adopted by someone else

and told him to never approach me again.

What's my exact birthdate?

March 17.

That's the birthday on your ID card.

Then what is November 11?

Um...

The director casually picked a date

when you entered

the orphanage.

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

Do you plan to acknowledge him?

No need.

I'm leaving.

(How are you?)

(Are you okay?)

(You know, right?)

(Where are you?)

(Chen Luzhou, where are you?)

(You still haven't gone home this late?)

Hello, Zhi, what's up?

Do you know where Chen Luzhou went?

I just called him, but he didn't answer.

Talk later.

Hello, Li Ke.

Is Chen Luzhou with you?

Stop it.

I'm not close with Chen Luzhou.

He's your boyfriend.

Why ask me?

Stop messing around.

I need to talk to him.

Is he with you or not?

He really isn't here.

I'm at my hometown.

Then give me Jiang Cheng's phone number.

Okay, wait a moment.

Alright.

Is Chen Luzhou with you?

Yes.

Put him on the phone.

I must talk to him.

Chen Luzhou.

He's in the bathroom.

Bye.

Dad is out.

Do you want to come over?

Why should I go over?

Let's study together.

Aren't you switching majors?

So I'm not attractive to you anymore?

Is that so?

It's not that you aren't attractive.

It's just that studying is more cost-effective.

The new semester is starting.

We need to focus on that.

Let's improve together.

I'll take a call.

Hello.

Okay, I'll be right there.

Here, have an orange.

You go ahead.

Have an orange.

It is quite sweet.

Is it comfortable?

Sitting up is better.

Xu Zhi.

Why did you fall again?

Could it be a sequela from the previous concussion?

No.

No, no.

He was hit by an electric bike.

Where's person at fault?

He left. It was a delivery guy.

Your dad didn't want to complicate things.

He looked quite anxious.

So he let him go.

Are you okay?

Yeah, this happened on my way to work.

I'll ask Cai to count it

as a work injury.

- Right. - What was that?

I've checked this.

It can't be compensated.

This morning, you did say

it could.

Why not now?

Yeah.

If you get hurt from home to work,

it can be compensated.

But you've gone to Songbai Road.

It's so far.

How do I compensate that?

What's wrong with Songbai Road?

I was afraid of traffic jams.

I took a little detour, right?

Why not go

around Guangzhou

or Shanghai?

Mr. Cai,

you are the Director.

You can't be so stingy.

Besides,

considering

I acted bravely for a just cause

for our hospital last time,

reimburse half of this?

These are two different matters.

Xu.

Did you go to the bookstore over on Songbai Road

to buy comic books for Wei Lin?

So it is.

Running personal errands,

right?

Even more unacceptable.

Why...

What?

What?

Mr. Xu.

- Luzhou. - Luzhou.

How's it?

Is it serious?

It's fine, see?

Don't worry.

You guys chat.

I'll go fetch some hot water.

Okay.

Why fetch water with...

- I'll go too. - Yes, go quickly.

You're fine?

Yeah.

Just go.

And you, back to work. It's work time.

I haven't asked for overtime pay.

You stingy.

Ungrateful.

Exactly.

Why are you here?

I felt like you needed me, so I came.

What's wrong?

My dad used to go to Songbai Road

only to buy me

sugar pancakes.

Because I was quite a glutton as a child.

My mom didn't want me to eat too many sweets.

But my dad spoiled me a lot.

After work on Fridays,

he would go there to buy me sugar pancakes.

And I could finish eating them

before my mom returned.

Come on.

Have some water.

Is it tasty?

Yes.

Dad, will you buy more for me next time?

Yes, I will.

Every week,

I'll go to Songbai Road to buy you sugar pancakes.

Okay?

Counting down two minutes, get ready.

Mom is coming back soon.

Hurry up and eat.

Brush your teeth after eating.

If your teeth go bad,

your mom will scold you again.

But I later found out

actually Songbai Road

is far from here.

About half the Qingyi City away.

But now,

he goes there to buy comic books for Wei Lin.

I guess I've got

mixed feelings.

Be careful.

Suddenly there are two strangers at home.

Living habits will all change.

It takes time to adapt. It's normal.

Look.

What's wrong?

I still have

two functional legs for now.

They should still work for long, right?

And then,

whether it's Songbai Road or whatnot,

I can go in the future.

Okay?

♪After rushing recklessly♪

♪We approach each other♪

♪Without turning back♪

♪In your eyes, I see myself♪

♪Falling into you♪
