=Episode 20=

Thanks.

My mom sent this.

How is she doing?

She's doing well.

She's at a seaside convalescent center in Sweden.

My father is there with her.

She probably won't be back anytime soon.

Really?

I never expected that

after the divorce, they actually got along better.

Yeah.

Mom often goes to the seaside market.

She sends me these little trinkets.

The seaside?

It seems she's learned to move on.

Perhaps.

She was very ill then,

with postpartum depression and hormone imbalances.

When I got these things,

other than feeling sorry, I mostly felt guilty.

I regret not telling her sooner

that I never blamed her.

Now she's started to let go.

What about you?

Me?

I...

I want to live more freely.

To experience everything

I have never tried before.

Anything specific in mind?

Not yet.

I-I've got something you definitely can't do.

For ice skating,

I practiced a lot as a kid.

It's quite hard.

But practice makes perfect.

Since it's your first time,

it's totally normal

if you don't skate well.

It does have a learning curve.

I haven't skated for long either

and need some time to adapt to.

How about this? I'll guide you later.

Hold onto me first.

We'll do a slow lap.

Once you get used to it,

you can follow me on your own.

Okay.

- Okay? - Okay.

- I get up first and help you then. - Okay.

Are you okay?

- I'm fine. - Get up.

Be careful.

Here, hold this.

Are you okay?

Wait.

I really can skate. It's just been too long.

I-I need to readjust too, right?

Well...

What's fun about this?

Isn't this the hottest

date idea of the Millennium?

We should experience it anyway.

How about you hold onto me?

Sure.

Come on.

Take it slow.

It's okay. Just relax.

Can you really skate?

I can.

Let go now.

No! I'm not letting go.

You'll make me fall, huh?

Okay.

Slowly. Relax.

Relax.

Relax.

Not bad.

You can skate! You lied to me?

I just observed for a bit.

It didn't seem that hard.

It's different. They're doing single skating.

Ours is pairs skating,

with higher difficulty level.

The key is coordination.

I was just trying to cooperate with you.

Got it.

So now you must

hold onto me tightly.

Don't let me fall, okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Come on.

Thanks.

Be careful.

You are pretty good at skating.

Wait.

How about

trying again?

Come on.

Hold onto me. Come on.

You can skate backwards now.

Come on.

Hello?

Mr. Gao,

one of the two rooms booked for you and Miss Lin

suddenly had a water leak.

It's unavailable.

Now only one room remains.

I've checked a few nearby hotels.

Should I rebook for you?

Two rooms?

No need.

Thanks, Li.

No problem.

Can I change the channel?

Go ahead.

(Voice of Dreams: Grand Finals)

(The competition among our Voice of Dreams' top three finalists)

(is truly intense!)

Next up is a contestant

who has captured everyone's attention,

contestant Zhu Mengmeng!

(Let's welcome her!)

(Voice of Dreams: Grand Finals) (It seems contestant Zhu Mengmeng)

(wants to keep us in suspense,)

(preferring to sing first)

(before introducing herself.)

Well then,

everyone who isn't familiar

with her yet,

you better pay close attention!

Hu, you like watching this?

Yes.

(Voice of Dreams: Grand Finals)

♪Why won't you look at me♪

♪Why won't you say a word♪

♪Why can't you see what's on my mind♪

♪I don't wanna hide in the corner♪

♪Or do a monologue♪

♪I wanna be by your side♪

(Contestant Zhu Mengmeng's singing)

(is truly captivating.)

(If I recall correctly,)

this song is about unrequited love,

right?

It seems our contestant Zhu Mengmeng

is still immersed in the beautiful melody

and hasn't snapped back yet.

But that's alright.

You can start introducing yourself now.

We also have the "call your loved ones for votes" part.

Actually,

the competition result

isn't that important to me.

Being able to stand here

is already incredibly fortunate.

Today,

I want to thank someone.

Without his encouragement and support,

I probably wouldn't have the courage to be here.

(Silly Goose,)

(I don't know why.)

- Be careful next time. - Got it.

(You kept pushing me away before,)

(but today, I really want to tell you)

(that I like you.)

Mengmeng, I like you.

I've liked you

since a very long time ago.

It's just

I never had the courage to tell you.

I've hidden my feelings all these years,

just because I felt

I wasn't good enough for you.

You were born to stand in the spotlight,

while I

only deserve to be dust beside you.

So I selfishly hid

my own emotions,

pushing you away constantly.

But every time I pushed you away,

I also felt terrible.

So Mengmeng, I want to apologize.

Because I am the one

who lacks courage in love.

Can...

Can you give me another chance?

The nation-wide audience heard that.

The TV...

(Is this your promise to me?)

Yes,

this is my promise.

(This is truly)

(the most thrilling loved ones call part tonight.)

Wish you winning,

and achieving your dream.

Thank you.

- Cheers! - Congrats to Mengmeng for winning!

Thank you.

I owe it to you all.

Without you,

I never would've had the courage to compete.

Let alone win an award.

You've always had the talent.

Congrats.

And congratulations to you two for finally being in love.

Thank you.

Today's the last day of the Millennium.

Let's go celebrate at the square!

Let's head out now.

No! You're a celebrity now.

So many people recognize you.

It's not even midnight yet.

People are piling in. How can we celebrate?

You've got a point.

I wonder what life will be like

after the Millennium.

Will every household

have flying cars?

Who knows what the future holds?

But

Huan'er would know best about the future,

right?

So Huan'er, tell us.

In the future,

things do turn out pretty well.

No flying cars yet,

but some things and people

are truly irreplaceable.

Like you guys.

Then let's toast to our irreplaceable bond!

- Come on. - Come on.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Cheers!

It's almost time.

For such a moment, how about taking a group photo?

Let's go.

Let's go.

Wait a second.

You've got sparklers?

When did you get these?

Huan'er, come.

How do I set the timer on this camera?

Here.

Right here.

No flash.

Huan'er, let me fix it.

Okay, I got it.

Let me do it.

Oh my!

Huan'er,

will you marry me?

Spend the turn of the millennium

and every day after with me.

♪Pages rustle, and I hear a loud voice♪

Everyone,

it's almost midnight!

Come here!

Come on!

Ten, nine, eight,

seven, six, five,

four, three, two,

one!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Huan'er!

Happy New Year!

Call the police!

Get an ambulance!

Someone got hit!

This world isn't real!

You're all characters in a book!

Call the police now!

Is he okay?

This world isn't real!

What is she saying?

You're all characters in a book!

What's wrong with her?

I traveled here from 2025!

Help him first.

Just help him.

Yeah. What set her off like this?

Player revealed the game's truth to others.

Punishment mechanism triggered.

You've exhausted all chances.

Maximum penalty will now apply.

Mengmeng.

- How is it? - Look.

Beautiful.

Huan'er?

Where's Gao Haiming?

Why are you asking about Gao Haiming?

Tiehan, where is Gao Haiming?

How do you know Gao Haiming?

Lin Huan'er violated game rules.

All five chances were depleted.

You now face the system's ultimate penalty.

System will erase

all memories between you and Gao Haiming.

Gao Haiming will forget you.

Huan'er,

what's wrong?

It's nothing, Mengmeng. I...

I'm not feeling well.

You guys have fun.

♪Entwined worries linger♪

♪My heart is not empty, yet pain remains♪

♪Now I see what we missed♪

♪Walking through the crowd to meet you♪

Huan'er, why are you here?

Didn't you go celebrate with friends?

It ended, so I came back.

What's wrong? Didn't you have fun?

Why are you back so late?

I just got back from Ningning's place.

We stayed out late.

Huan'er, what's wrong?

Did you fight with your boyfriend during the celebration?

Le'er,

you remember Gao Haiming, right?

I actually found out?

So you really have a new boyfriend!

When do I get to meet

Gao Haiming?

You've met Gao Haiming.

Did you forget?

No, I haven't.

♪My heart is not empty, yet pain remains♪

I was just teasing you.

♪Now I see what we missed♪

Huan'er,

if you're unhappy,

you have to tell me.

Have one.

Eat something sweet. Cheer up.

♪Until the world's end♪

Thank you.

Be good.

Everything will be okay.

I hope so.

I need some time alone.

You head back first.

Okay.

Make sure you go home early too.

Don't worry.

♪If I could♪

Why did you stop working?

What gives you the right to stop?

This is all your fault!

All because of you!

How dare you ignore me?

(Letao Tower)

Happy New Year!

Did you all have fun?

Your friend?

No.

Not my friend either.

I don't know her.

Where are my things here?

Lin Huan'er, what are you doing here?

My stuff was cleared away. I...

You drank too much on the night?

You work downstairs.

Since when do I work downstairs?

Okay, get back to work now.

I think I have seen her downstairs.

So I never actually

worked here?

Yeah.

Mr. Gao.

- Mr. Gao. - Morning, Mr. Gao.

(I see.)

(The system is punishing me.)

(It erased all our memories together.)

(Gao Haiming,)

(if I stay,)

(will you remember me?)

Mr. Luo.

Look. This seat is empty.

Can I move here to work?

Go apply with the admin department yourself.

(Gao Haiming,)

(even if memories don't return,)

(I'll make you fall in love with me again.)

Hello?

What? Are you injured?

I'm coming right away.

Didn't you promise me you wouldn't get hurt again?

I was scared to death just now!

I almost drove the car into the river!

No need to make a fuss.

Look, I'm fine.

I don't care!

Hu Tiehan,

your body belongs to me now!

I won't let you get hurt again!

(Police)

Mengmeng, you should be proud of Tiehan.

Do you know

he helped us

solve a major case?

Tiehan

was born to be the criminal police.

I just won't allow him to get hurt!

Does it still hurt?

No.

Mengmeng, I promise you.

From now on...

Hey, watch it. I'm here.

I promise you.

I won't let myself get hurt anymore.

Really?

Yes.

You really can't get hurt again.

I won't get hurt ever again.

- So you... - Don't worry.

I'm just doing them a small favor.

I won't go back. I mean it.

You know how my mom is.

She'd never let me go back.

Besides,

the criminal police squad isn't someplace

I can just waltz into.

Am I being too selfish?

No. Why would you say that?

I didn't dare chase my dreams before.

You were the one who kept encouraging and helping me.

Now our positions have switched.

I...

That's not how it is.

I know you mean well for me.

But are you truly happy?

Yes.

As long as you're happy, I'm happy.

I've decided.

From now on, I'll support

all your dreams and decisions.

But you have to promise me.

Take good care of yourself.

Okay, I promise to take good care of myself.

Mr. Gao.

Why are you here?

Giving Mr. Gao documents.

Documents should go to department managers.

Don't take it all to Mr. Gao.

So...

You finished it so fast?

I haven't been too busy lately.

Okay, I'll put it away for now.

Thank you.

Mr. Gao.

What brings you here?

I came to buy a model aircraft.

You like these too?

A friend of mine likes them.

At first,

I researched fighter jets

just to find common topics.

But gradually,

I realized I actually enjoyed them too.

But that friend lost his memory.

He doesn't remember me now.

So I want to gift him a model fighter,

hoping it'll help him remember me.

Mr. Gao,

I have a request.

What is it?

Could you please

help me assemble this Wild Weasel fighter?

Why me?

Because I trust you the most.

Maybe the model you assemble

will trigger his memory of me.

Alright.

I'll take this job.

They're quite unhappy over there.

We need to check it.

Okay, I'll note it down.

Go coordinate.

Okay.

Did something happen today?

Someone leaked

that Letao's new sanitary pads

have quality issues.

Some experienced physical discomfort.

See for yourself.

That's impossible!

(Her Series Sanitary Pads' Quality) How could Quality Inspection

(in Question: Who Protects Consumers) make such a big mistake?

If this situation continues,

Mr. Gao might face serious trouble.

I heard the board

summoned Mr. Gao immediately.

The product he oversaw

has quality defects.

He might even get dismissed.

Surely not that bad?

He...

Forget what I said.
