[Shine On Me]

[Adapted from Gu Man's novel,

Shine On Me]

[Episode 21]

[Missed Call]

[Lin Yusen]

Xiguang, look outside.

[Jiang Rui]

Lin bought a ton of fireworks.

He must be trying

to cheer you up.

Kind of cheesy, though.

Alright. Thanks, sir.

[Lin: Sorry]

[Lin: Image]

[To Xiguang: I came across a skier

with a head injury.]

[Possible intracranial bleed.

I'm riding along to the hospital.]

[Lin, Wechat]

I'm sorry

that I didn't realize

the message didn't go through.

I'm sorry.

Stop apologizing.

So it was just a bad signal

and the message didn't go through.

But why didn't you tell me

at the hospital?

Right then

my head was a mess.

And

I actually had

a pretty selfish moment.

Like what?

I thought about not texting you at all.

I came across a skier

with a head injury.

Possible intracranial bleed.

[Typing]

I'm riding along to the hospital.

Why?

Because...

Just think of it

as me wanting you to be worried,

wanting to know

if you would feel worried or not.

How could you even think that?

I'd worry about a complete stranger

if they were hurt.

Much less you.

I know that now.

You even came all the way

to the hospital for me.

I'm sorry.

I got caught up in my own head.

And I should've checked

if my message actually went through.

Also, this.

The firework you "pocketed"

the other day.

Yeah.

I just swung by the hotel to pick it up.

That night

you suddenly asked me to feed the deer

and set off fireworks.

Was it because that day,

after you got back,

they told you

about my family?

Yeah, sort of.

I'm only just realizing it now.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know

I could be this slow.

Why do you keep apologizing?

Why'd you buy so many fireworks?

Are you trying to pay me back?

No.

I just felt like

I messed up pretty bad.

I didn't feel right

showing up empty-handed.

So...

But I'm going to need you

to go back and grab a lighter.

Wait here.

Xiguang,

wait up.

What?

What's going on?

What's wrong with you?

How could you forgive Lin so fast?

It was all a misunderstanding.

He actually did text me.

The signal must've been spotty,

so it didn't go through.

He was busy with the patient

and didn't notice.

Look,

he sent me a screenshot of the message.

See?

I told you there was no need

to be that upset.

But

you have an even bigger problem now.

It's one thing to not be mad anymore,

but after all that fuming,

how can you be such a pushover?

You can't handle

a relationship like this,

alright?

Jiang Rui,

I've realized you're

just an armchair expert

who's never been in a relationship.

Never been in a...?

What?

But I'm a guy.

You can't be like this.

Listen,

go find an excuse

and stay mad for a while longer.

Where am I supposed to find one?

Let me see.

Give me that.

Let me think.

Aha! Got it.

When you confronted him

outside the hospital,

why didn't he explain himself then

and let you stay mad for nothing

all this time?

That's a big deal too.

He just explained

that part.

But I guess

I really shouldn't have

let him off the hook that easily.

Exactly.

Here's the lighter.

Now go back out

and get your mad back on.

I'll be watching you from upstairs.

Fine.

Wait here.

You got this.

Xiguang, you're the best.

His hand is messed up,

and he can't perform surgery anymore.

Back then,

watching those doctors

might have reminded him

of who he used to be.

He mentioned his head was a mess.

Is that what's bothering him?

That's a lot of variety.

I just grabbed everything

the owner recommended.

Which one do you want to set off first?

This one.

Hurry up.

Be quick.

♪Never felt this way before♪

♪Oh, will it stay the same?♪

♪Though the seasons change♪

♪And life gets in the way♪

Why are they setting off fireworks?

♪All this time you're in my mind♪

The fireworks aren't running away.

They should set them off

when I am with them!

♪I dream of when I'll hold you

every day♪

♪When it won't be a scene

♪We'll find our way back to when♪

♪Through all the times

we were getting through♪

♪Will we ever be close, you and me?♪

♪Oh, wherever you are,

♪Don't hesitate to call me,

♪My heart has only you♪

♪Every moment of every day♪

♪Our love's gonna find a way♪

♪Oh, can you feel my heart's with you?♪

♪If you ever wanna know♪

♪I have never felt this before♪

There are sparklers too.

How much are these?

No idea.

I just paid for everything all at once.

Can I have one for two yuan?

What do you want it for?

Give me the lighter.

This is a reward.

Someone just got a second chance at life

thanks to what you have learned.

Thank you.

Xiguang is so hopeless.

But

you were definitely a bit much today,

and there are things

you could've done better.

I'm adding it all to your tab.

I'll do my best

to make sure this is the last time

I end up on it.

"Do your best"?

I promise.

That's more like it.

But there's one thing on your tab

we can settle right now.

What's that?

Wait a sec.

Jiang Rui,

come on down!

Let's go grab some hot pot.

Is there even a restaurant open now?

Yeah,

I called ahead to check.

Alright, I'll be down in a sec.

I guess I'm just as hopeless.

You're back.

How's the patient?

Is everything okay?

Earlier, Xiguang's mom called and...

What's wrong?

Mom,

something bad

happened to me a while back.

What happened?

You can tell me.

Later on,

I convinced myself to let it go.

And I thought I had.

But these past few months,

I've felt so conflicted.

I kept telling myself to move on

and just follow my instincts,

to let her in,

to get closer to her.

But every now and then,

in the middle of the night,

I'd start questioning myself:

"How can you forget that so easily?"

But today,

everything changed.

Lin Yusen!

I don't think

I'll ever have to suffer

through that again.

I finally feel whole.

I'm not quite sure

what you're talking about,

but I'm happy for you.

And I think there might have been

some misunderstandings.

When our friends

were playing messenger for us,

maybe things

didn't get passed along quite right.

I was avoiding it before,

so I never asked.

But I think

I need to find out

exactly what happened.

Vincent.

I didn't expect you to...

Happy...

Chinese New Year.

Jiaqi,

where are you right now?

Is it a good time to talk?

Yeah...

I'm abroad with some friends.

We're out at sea.

Forget it.

Just let me know when you're back.

I'll swing by and see you.

I have something to ask you.

Urgent?

Important?

It's okay.

It's not that pressing.

And it's not that big of a deal anymore.

We were supposed to be having

a great time on this trip.

I never imagined

things would end up like this.

Kevin is in the ICU now,

and there's nothing we can do.

HR said

they'll go into the office tomorrow

to pull his files

and get in touch with his parents.

I have Kevin's phone with me.

If his parents call,

I can pick up and let them know.

But

I remember them

being out of the country.

I doubt they'll be able

to make it back anytime soon.

You guys should head back

to Shanghai tomorrow as planned.

There's no point in everyone

staying here.

I'll stay behind to look after him.

You're staying here alone?

Yeah.

I've already cleared it

with my family and Mr. Song.

I'll wait until Kevin's parents arrive.

Plus, I can help

with the legwork

for his transfer back to Shanghai.

Are you sure?

It doesn't feel right for us

to just leave.

Kevin is in the ICU,

so there's no point in us staying here.

Plus, the company needs

someone back at the office.

I've got experience

looking after patients.

This trip to Changbai Mountain

was my idea anyway,

so it's only right that I do a bit more.

It's settled then.

You guys head back to Shanghai tomorrow,

and I'll pack my things

and move into the town.

Let's finish up and get back.

Can you take Kevin's suitcase back

with you tomorrow?

I'll take these to the hospital.

I'm going to go back now

and pack my own things.

Dang it, Mia.

I think I'm really falling for him.

Please,

like it wasn't incredibly obvious?

No, this is different.

Before today,

it was just about his looks

and how capable he is.

But now,

I've seen

he's genuinely kind,

and he actually steps up.

I know in this day and age,

calling someone "kind" sounds

a little cheesy.

But I still feel like

it's the rarest thing

you can find in a person.

♪Rainy days leave my hair all damp♪

♪Sunny days dry the sheets in the light♪

♪I feel alone in this city♪

♪No conversations, just the quiet air♪

♪The days since you're gone♪

♪I still haven't learned to move on♪

♪Each quiet night falls around me♪

See?

She's got her boyfriend with her.

And he's hot.

But

I don't think they look like a couple.

Look at other couples.

They're all hand-in-hand,

like they're literally attached

at the hip.

Zhuang,

I think I see that guy who's chasing

your student's cousin.

He looks so slick out there.

Seems like a total pro.

Chasing who?

The one chasing your student's cousin.

Excuse me, do you happen to

have an umbrella?

Thanks so much.

♪All I can do is call out loud♪

♪To hide the dull ache inside♪

♪I grip regret so tight♪

♪And cast it

♪Even if love fades too fast♪

♪I'll bless you with the grace I have♪

♪You're gone for good♪

[Sugar]

That looks so good.

I found those in the fridge

and figured I'd whip something up.

Well,

if the fridge

magically refills itself every day,

would you keep "whipping something up"

like this?

Yes.

Eating hotel food all the time isn't...

It's not right for me

to just tag along and eat your food.

Xu,

you're so impressive.

When Ms. Zhang is away,

we can finally have

some decent, home-cooked meals.

Hotel food is way too expensive,

and the hygiene is questionable.

It even messed up Xiguang's stomach.

You've got something

on your face. Let me see.

Why would you tell him

about my stomach issues?

Is that a secret?

Of course it is.

You're ruining my image.

Xu found out ages ago.

So, what exactly is going on

between you and Lin Yusen?

If I were you,

I'd just ask her out.

No.

When they walked past us just now,

I should have

just shouted out to them.

Nie Xiguang.

Mr. Lin.

Here, let me help you with those.

Thanks.

Come on.

All right, everyone, hop in.

Okay.

Hi, guys.

Hey there.

Hi.

Thanks for letting us

hitch a ride today.

Don't mention it.

We're heading to Tianchi Lake anyway.

Thank you.

Got all your things?

Once we're done at the lake,

we're heading straight to the airport.

We've already got a car

meeting us there.

- Okay.

- Thanks again.

No problem.

Good morning.

Great.

It's all just snow, though.

Can't see anything.

Oh, stop it.

Use your imagination a little,

would you?

Come on, let's take a photo

and make a wish.

Here we go.

[Tianchi Lake]

Three, two, one.

Cheese.

Over there,

where the crowd is gathering,

it is where you'll find

the famous hot spring eggs.

[Hot Spring Eggs]

Would anyone like to try some?

They're different

from the ones at the hotel.

I'll go grab some.

Go ahead.

Don't go.

Come back here. Be good.

Come back.

Honey,

a few days ago at breakfast,

didn't you say there was no rush

and that we should wait and see?

Why the sudden change of heart?

Well, that's because I hadn't seen Lin

and I was able to keep a cool head.

After seeing him today,

I think he's a perfect match

for Xiguang.

Good thing

that when I was chasing your mom,

there weren't

any huge heartthrobs around.

Otherwise, you wouldn't even be here.

Dad,

can you not sell yourself short?

You're actually pretty handsome.

I don't care if you want

to put yourself down,

but the thing is, everyone says

I look just like you.

They were selling duck eggs

over there too,

so we just bought a bunch of everything.

Mr. Luo, Ms. Sheng.

Ms. Jiang.

Thanks.

Xiguang.

Thanks.

We should exchange contact info.

Sure thing.

Lin,

did you get paid

for your stint as a ski instructor?

Technically, yeah.

But I ended up paying it back tenfold.

Listen to him,

filing a formal complaint.

Consider this your back pay.

Taking a cut now?

Ugh, this is way too much.

I didn't mean you two.

I meant this egg.

Sorry,

everyone,

but it's time

to catch our ride.

- All right.

- Okay.

Let's get moving.

Let's go.

- Let's go.

- Alright.

There's really no place

like homeland.

Luo,

I still want to come back when I retire.

Whatever you say.

I'll follow you wherever you go.

Safe travels.

Thanks.

Xiguang,

bring your mom to Switzerland sometime.

Everything's on me.

No matter what our relationship

ends up being.

Thank you, Ms. Sheng.

Mom,

sounds like you're trying

to go around me.

Well, if you don't step up your game,

there's not much I can do.

We'd love to have you all over.

Right.

You're all welcome

to visit Switzerland anytime.

We're heading off now.

Guys,

bye.

Jiang Rui,

let's hit the slopes again sometime.

I'm definitely beating you next time.

Then tell your cousin

not to name the tournament

the "Xiguang Cup."

Instructor Lin, you should get in.

Goodbye.

Alright, let's head out.

Bye.

We're off. Bye.

- See ya!

- Bye!

We're leaving tomorrow, too.

Any plans for tonight?

It'll be late by the time

we get back to the hotel.

Let's just wander around for a bit.

We still have to

do our packing tonight anyway.

[Tianchi County People's Hospital]

We went

rime rafting this afternoon.

It was so much fun.

You've been skiing with us

this whole time,

so you missed out, didn't you?

My mom and Mr. Luo already did it.

I'll just catch it next time.

Mr. Zhuang.

Mr. Lin.

I just came by to check on the patient.

Me, too.

Thank you, Mr. Lin.

It's the least I could do.

After all, I used to be a doctor.

I've got a flight to catch,

so I'll head out first.

Safe travels.

I heard you were with your mom.

How is she doing?

She looks great.

Though she keeps complaining

about putting on weight.

A little extra weight is good for her.

She used to be way too thin.

She was always obsessed

with staying a size zero.

That's just not healthy.

I told her the same thing.

But she's not happy about it.

She's fixated

on losing it.

Well, you need to be firm with her.

I have zero control over her.

That's true.

With that temper of hers,

no one can tell her what to do.

Yusen,

you're getting back to work

in Suzhou tomorrow,

so I won't keep you any longer.

Come have dinner with me

whenever you're free.

And don't forget

the banquet next month.

I won't.

Grandpa, Mr. Li,

I'll head out now.

Alright.

Drive safe.

I've dug into it.

The leak came from Bokai's wife's side.

Her relatives in Changbai Mountain

ran into Weiai,

and they made sure

the news got back to you.

I figured as much.

After all these years,

they still haven't learned a thing,

have they?

Always relying

on the same old cheap tricks.

Weiai has been away for so long,

yet they're still so threatened by her

that they come to me to stir the pot.

I bet they're hoping

Weiai won't get a single penny

after I kick the bucket.

Maybe

they just wanted you to know

that Weiai is doing okay.

Do you actually believe that?

Honestly, I've lost track

of how long it's been

since I last saw her.

In the blink of an eye,

Yusen's all grown up.

How could she be so heartless

to her dad

and her son?

In Weiai's heart,

the one she blames most

is probably herself.

If she truly hated you,

she wouldn't have let Yusen

stay in touch with you all these years.

I need a moment to myself.

You got quite worked up a few days ago,

and your heart started acting up.

It would be best

if you went back inside now.

And about the banquet early next month,

do you think

we should keep the guest list small?

I'm worried it might be

too much of a strain on you.

It's fine.

Let's stick to the plan.

I know

my own limits.

Are you still going

with Xingjie for the banquet?

Sometimes,

it's only when you're at the top

that you can see people's true colors.

When someone thinks they've already won,

how they act then

is who they really are.

Was it you who told Dad

about Weiai coming back?

That was so unnecessary.

Dad's already decided to groom Xingjie

as his successor.

Why are you still messing around

with these little tricks?

Did you honestly think

you could keep it from him?

If you had been more capable,

I wouldn't have had to

resort to these little tricks

20 years ago.

A woman only resorts to scheming

when her man is useless.

Unbelievable.

Where are you going?

Chinese New Year isn't even over yet,

and you already can't sit still?

Nie Chengyuan is in Shanghai.

I'm going to see him.

Why the long face?

Don't get me started. Just family drama.

I heard your dad

has been keeping Xingjie

by his side lately,

showing him the ropes personally.

I thought you'd be

on cloud nine right now.

It was supposed to be a done deal,

but Yao Shu just had to

stir the pot.

I called her out on it,

and now she's giving me attitude.

If it weren't for the fact

that her brothers

are still somewhat useful...

What about you?

Chinese New Year is barely over.

What brings you to Shanghai?

Got bored of Wuxi,

so I brought the ladies here

for a change of pace.

They're shopping at the mall.

I didn't have the patience

to follow them around.

Still with that first love of yours?

At your age,

you're still acting this clingy?

You're not planning to bring her

to my dad's birthday banquet, are you?

I'm not that foolish.

That's good.

Otherwise,

Yao Shu will start nagging again

about me hanging out

with a bad influence.

She didn't complain

when I was helping you

make money.

Now that she's the mother of the heir,

she's really high and mighty, isn't she?

I don't get it.

She and Jiang Yun

aren't really close either.

I heard they're inviting a lot of people

to the banquet.

Your dad usually keeps a low profile.

Why all the fanfare?

Is he planning to announce Xingjie

as the successor?
