=Reborn=

(Adapted from the serialized work "Reborn" by Qiang Yu)

I've texted you many times.

You didn't reply to me at all.

Why did you leave without telling me?

You can choose not to reply to me.

But you should at least tell me why.

I've texted you many times.

You didn't reply to me at all.

Why did you leave without telling me?

Why?

You can choose to ignore me.

But at least you need to tell me why.

That was great.

I think I can learn a thing or two from you.

I know my fault now.

But speaking of which,

how did you manage

to keep a straight face

while saying those mushy words?

You're truly something else.

Who's that girl?

=Episode 14= (Running Out of Courage)

Gather around.

Guys,

we've completed the breaststroke technique lesson.

For this lesson, it's free practice.

Those who said who couldn't hold their breath before this

should take this time to practice.

Safety first. Dismissed.

Keep an eye on them.

Don't you think you should explain

why you left without bidding farewell?

Did your family make things difficult for you?

What do you plan to do next?

Sheng.

What are you doing?

What were you two talking about?

Sheng.

Sheng.

I don't know if it's because of the dramas you've watched lately.

Maybe you do have some sort of hero complex.

But Qiao Qingyu's family situation is very complicated.

I suggest you stay away from her.

I just want to help her out.

What's wrong with that?

Huh?

Was he angry?

What does that mean?

He already owned up to it just now.

That can't be.

That is the case.

Say, why do some people go against their promises

after making them?

That can only prove

that she hadn't figured things out

when she made that promise to you.

If so, she can choose not to make that promise.

She's just tricking me.

Why are you being fierce to me?

I'm not the one who went against my promise.

It's fine that she went against her promises.

But she wouldn't even tell me anything.

Don't worry about it.

Since Qiao Qingyu is avoiding you,

that means she has feelings for you.

If not, she could've confronted you directly.

She has a guilty conscience.

Who said it was Qiao Qingyu?

Did you not?

It's just my wild guess.

Hey. If you're free,

you should show some concern for your father.

I heard that the family members of a patient

intercepted him at the hospital's entrance this morning.

Why should I?

Listen.

To him,

that's nothing uncommon.

This time, it's different. It's quite a huge deal.

It's all over the news.

That's pretty good.

Now, everyone can see his true colors.

Have the family members of Patient 15 signed the agreement?

No.

They haven't signed it yet.

Ming Sheng?

Your father isn't around.

When will his surgery end?

It's fine. I can wait for him.

Have you read today's Huanzhou Daily?

The house is so messy.

You're back.

Let me change it.

Mr. Chen and his wife

have gone on a trip.

They entrusted their dog to me.

Are you seeing this?

You should pee on this mat if you want to pee.

I always thought that keeping a dog would be easy

and fun.

I never expected it

to be more tiring

than raising a child.

I don't know what this little guy

ate last night.

It has a stomach ache.

It couldn't sleep for the entire night.

Both of us didn't sleep well last night.

Have you had dinner?

I've called for food delivery.

Let's have dinner together.

You placed the box there, huh?

I always wanted to hand it to you once I'm done organizing it.

But I didn't have the time.

Why?

Haven't you always hated Mom?

Why did you keep our photo album?

You weren't even five years old

when your mother left the family.

Although she didn't raise you,

I know how important

she is to you.

Therefore,

I thought that I should keep all of the photos

you two had taken together

and hand them to you

after you've grown up.

This way,

you'll feel like

your mother has never left your side.

It's just that she used another way

to keep you company as you grow up.

Go now.

What a joke.

Don't you think

it'd remind me

that my mother left me when I was five years old?

My son,

I'm sorry.

Especially for what I did previously.

I donated all of the scores

that your mother had performed before.

I was at fault.

I was too inconsiderate.

I didn't care about your feelings...

Don't think that I'll forgive you

just because you're saying all this.

Why did you chase my mother away

if you truly cared about me?

Regarding the situation between your mother and me,

you'll understand

when you grow up.

You're using that excuse again.

That's the only excuse you'll ever use.

You always say that I'm too young to understand things.

You keep everything from me.

I'm already 18 years old.

I have the right to know the truth.

And I know how pretentious and fake

you are with the excuses you use.

I know that the famous Dr. Ming

is staying at home

because of a medical accident.

You were suspended by the hospital, weren't you?

You remind me

of myself when I was 18 years old.

We like to view the world with an unorthodox perspective.

So, are you saying

that growing up means

that you'll form an orthodox perspective on the world?

That's not it.

Growing up means

that you'll truly possess the values you cherish.

The values a person holds

will decide how he sees things.

However,

you'll only obtain

mature values that you truly own

when you reach a certain age.

This way, you won't develop

a one-sided and narrow view

towards certain topics.

Hey, you never told me anything.

What makes you think

that I'll develop a one-sided and narrow view?

Can you save your breath?

Stop trying to come up with these stupid lessons for me.

If you truly understood what you said,

if you truly possessed the values you cherished,

I'm sure you wouldn't let a patient sue you

until you're suspended from work.

Now that you're unable to work,

you can take it as a holiday.

Don't act tough

and do something you suck at.

For example, rearing a dog

and being a good father.

Coming.

Who's there?

Greetings, Mrs. Qiao.

Mumu?

Are you looking for Qingyu?

That's right.

There's no one at home today.

I came here on a classmate's bike.

I brought a lot of revision materials with me.

They're quite heavy.

I hope Qingyu can help me out.

It's downstairs. We'll be done soon.

Let me call for her.

You may come in.

Mrs. Qiao, it's fine.

Alright.

Just use a tiny bit

of this concealer,

and you can conceal the scar on your face.

Mumu.

I'm very upset.

I know.

You said that you were envious of the courage I possessed.

But I think

my courage is running out.

I don't know whether or not

I'm doing the right thing.

I've overestimated my abilities.

I want them to own up to their mistakes.

But I lost.

Not only did I not uphold justice for my sister,

but I also made my family angry.

Even if you've lost, that doesn't mean you're wrong.

Actually, I knew what awaited me

after they found me.

They can beat me, reprimand me,

they can punish me however they like.

But they want me to admit that I was wrong.

I didn't.

It's because I didn't think that I was wrong.

One day,

I'll prove that I'm right.

I will make them apologize to me

and Qiao Beiyu.

I once read a quote from a book.

"Growing up is the inevitable decay one must go through in a lifetime."

Therefore, I suppose growing up

means that we have to endure such pain.

Will you be my friend forever?

Of course.

I'm so envious of you.

No matter how upset you are,

you're able to smile.

Do you know how I forget about my pain and suffering?

I dance.

Qingyu,

you should join the dance club.

Actually, I have always liked dancing

because of my elder sister.

But my mother, she...

If there's a chance,

I want to realize her dream for her.

Now, Fang Hao picks her up and drops her off at school daily.

We also added another gate to our house.

We've changed our lock as well.

Please don't worry.

We'll keep an eye on her 24/7.

I know, I know.

I'll take her back as soon as possible

and give everyone an account.

Alright.

Please wait. Fang Hao wishes to speak with you.

Dad.

Qing will have her mid-semester exam in a few days.

I'll keep a close eye on her.

She won't be able to go anywhere.

How could you tell him that?

Lusheng.

I'm begging you.

Listen to me for once.

We've already lost Bei.

That's not it.

We can't afford to sacrifice Qing now.

Hand me the phone.

We mustn't send Qing back and let her suffer there.

Call Dad and explain it to him.

She got herself in deep trouble this time.

Don't you think

she should go back and apologize?

They've already punished her physically and reprimanded her.

Don't hang up!

What else do they want?

You're her father!

Can't you save your daughter for once?

Hey, can we be reasonable for once?

If we don't take her back this time,

we won't be able to return to Nanqiao Village again!

Li Fanghao!

This time, you have to listen to me.

We have to go back and apologize to them!

Hand me the phone!

Hello? I will never let Qing return to that place even if it means I have to die!

Have you lost your mind?

Your entire family has no conscience!

Li Fanghao!

You!

Back then...

Back then, I should've taken Bei with me

and left this place when you and your family

tried to force me to give birth to a boy!

I should've left you!

I should've left this family!

Fine by me!

Let's sever our ties!

You want a divorce, huh?

Qiao Lusheng.

You went overboard.

You're just a coward.

You don't even dare to mention the word "divorce!"

Grandpa called us

and said that you have to go back and apologize to everyone.

I think Mom knew

that you would suffer if you went back.

She disagreed.

That's why Dad and Mom argued until now.

Initially, Qiao Beiyu's miscarriage

was just a rumor.

But you're something else.

You proved them right and backed it with evidence.

Now, everyone on the Internet

is spreading all kinds of rumors.

Jingrui has already gotten a divorce.

He didn't dare to break the news to Grandma yet.

I heard

Aunt Yanfen was hospitalized out of spite.

Now, Dad and Mom want to get a divorce.

I didn't want things to end up like this either.

Of course I knew you did it out of kind intentions.

You wanted to uphold justice for Qiao Beiyu.

But now, not only did you not uphold justice for her,

but you also turned our family upside down.

But I knew that they murdered Qiao Beiyu.

Do you expect me to turn a blind eye to that?

I don't know.

But can you stop being stubborn?

Regarding this matter,

it won't end unless you apologize to them.

Qiao Beiyu is dead.

But we still need to survive, you know?

Just take it as if

you're deceiving them.

Just apologize to them,

and we can still proceed with our lives.

Can't you do so?

Dad, stop drinking.

It's bad for your health.

If only you were sensible

and didn't infuriate me this much.

If so, I suppose I can live longer.

I don't care if you believe me or not.

I didn't want this to happen either.

I didn't want everyone to suffer.

Who's not suffering now?

Isn't your mother suffering?

Aren't I suffering?

You're trying to kill us all here!

What are you thinking?

I'll return to the village with you, then.

I'll return to Nanqiao Village with you.

You've gotten yourself in deep trouble.

Your grandparents,

your uncle and his wife,

they won't spare you that easily.

If you go back, you'll suffer.

What else can I do, then?

Everyone thinks that I'm at fault here.

If so, I have to bear the consequences.

I don't care how they'll punish me.

I'm not afraid of them either.

I just don't want you and Mom

to argue every day.

Fine.

At least you're sensible now.

We'll leave tomorrow morning.

Don't tell your mother.

Wear thicker clothing tomorrow.

Everything is my fault.

I know it's too late to say anything.

But I'll bear the consequences alone.

Grandpa, you may punish me however you like.

You've ruined my son's future!

He's only in his twenties.

How can he face society in the future?

I won't do anything

that'll harm my family again.

Again?

Now, the entire village knows

that Jingrui is adopted.

Your mother doesn't dare to come, huh?

How dare you come and apologize alone?

Look at you! You show no remorse at all!

Lusheng.

You have to teach her a lesson today!

Beat her with this stick!

Lusheng!

Why are you still standing there?

Dad!

Will you do it or not?

Will you do it or not?

Will you do it or not?

Dad!

Dad!

Dad, please be appeased!

Dad.

Mom!

Dad.

Haisheng.

Yanfen.

Qingyu is young and insensible.

She disrupted Jingrui's wedding

and caused you guys to be humiliated.

That was wrong of her.

But she's still a child.

Strictly speaking,

it's my fault as her mother

for not keeping her in check.

Mom.

You guys can do whatever you want to me

as long as you guys

can be appeased.

Let me apologize to you all.

Mom!

Hurry and get up.

What? You think everything will be fine

now that you've apologized to us?

Both of your daughters ganged up to harm my son.

My son is ruined because of you!

Jingrui's life is over!

There's no future for him now!

How can I not be angry?

Yanfen.

Let's be honest with ourselves today.

Even if we've ruined Jingrui's future,

what about Beiyu, then?

Beiyu is gone.

Beiyu?

What has her death got to do with Jingrui?

She brought that upon herself.

She deserved it!

She deserved to die!

Qingyu, stand up.

Stand up.

I'm telling you to stand up.

Yanfen.

Let me tell you this, then.

I instructed Qingyu

to do what she did.

Mom!

I'll fight you to the end!

How dare you still defend Qingyu?

I'll beat you to death!

Yanfen!

That's enough!

Don't stop me!

I'll beat you to death!

I'll beat you to death!

All three of you are devils!

What are you doing?

How dare you spout such nonsense?

Yanfen!

Dad!

Dad, you must uphold justice for us!

Mom!

Mom, what are you doing?

Mom!

Mom!

Stop slapping yourself!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Stop it!

Come. Let's go home.

Let's go.

(Joy, Everlasting Love and Harmony, 100 Years of Happiness)

You guys have completely severed our ties with the family.

I'll go and wash the vegetables.

How could we clean up the mess if I didn't take her back?

Do you think the guys in our hometown will let us off?

I've already thought things through.

I'd take her back and make her apologize to them.

At most she'll be reprimanded and caned a few times.

Everything could've been over had we just endured it.

He's her grandfather. What do you think he'll do to her?

But you?

You came and turned everything upside down.

I truly don't know what's wrong with you.

Even if there's something wrong with me, it's because of your family.

I'll be honest with you.

Actually, I think

Dad and Grandpa did the right thing.

Jingrui did let Beiyu down.

And, I know Grandpa and the rest hid the truth from everyone.

Even if they did commit mistakes in the past

and had to bear the consequences for it,

it shouldn't have to come at

such a heavy price.

What if

you knew

that things would end up like this?

Would you still use the same way

to uphold justice for Beiyu?

I'm going to start living on campus this semester.

Dad and Mom argue every day.

And, you sigh all day long.

You guys are affecting my studies.

Do you want to take a bite?

You can only fly after recovering, you know?

You should eat something.

Here.

Eat up.

Qingyu.

I know you don't want to speak with me.

If so, just listen to me.

I know

you don't like our home.

To be honest, I don't like it either.

But if you leave home now,

you're too young to face society.

You'll get bullied.

You should hang in there

and bear with it.

Once you grow up, complete your studies,

and become a useful person who can contribute to society,

you can do whatever you want by then.

I won't interfere.

Please trust me.

I'm at least a credible person.

How much money is left on your cafeteria card?

It's enough for me to last the entire semester.

You should eat something else. Don't be frugal all the time.

Take a ten-minute nap if you have the time.

Mrs. Qiao, Qingyu.

Hello, Mrs. Qiao.

Hello.

Wait here for me tonight.

Okay.

I'll go inside with Qingyu.

Okay.

Mrs. Qiao worries a lot, huh?

Although she's very controlling,

I know she's doing it for my own good.

I mustn't make them angry again.

Since I can't change anything,

I should be obedient.

Are you sure this will stick?

What are you doing?

It's nothing.

Let me see.

Are you crazy?

Oh, you fell for it yourself.

Geez.

It's called biting off more than you can chew.

Who told you guys to bully her all the time?

Bully her all the time?

You guys bully her all the time.

Why are you guys pretending to be saints now?

What's wrong?

Does that mean we cannot get a change of heart

and turn over a new leaf?

Yeah.

So, you guys should stop bullying her.

If not, we'll uphold justice for her.

Come. Let's go to the toilet.

Hand that to me.

(Trivia for Eyesight Protection, Myopia Prevention, and Hygiene)

Someone instructed me to hand this to you.

(I'll always be there for you as long as you turn around.)

Sheng!

You guys can go ahead.

I've already handed it to her.

Did she say anything?

Nope.

How did she react, then?

She didn't react much.

She didn't react much?

She did.

She did react.

She was deep in her thoughts.

Deep in her thoughts?

What does that mean?

Qiao Qingyu.

You remind me of something.

Just a couple of days ago,

I saw Mingsheng getting out of a taxi with a girl.

Was it you?

Was Qingyu staying at Ming Sheng's grandfather's unit

when she was missing?
