[South Wind Knows]

[Episode 1]

[Heidelberg, Germany]

Mint. This way, please.

This place is spacious.

You need to get familiar with it.

Or else, you might get lost at night.

Yes, I will.

Why is it so dark in here?

Why aren't the curtains drawn open?

Good morning, Linda.

Morning.

This is the drawing room.

You may look around here.

By the way, did Leo brief you about your job scope?

Yes, he did.

Oh, right. You haven't answered me yet.

Why did you turn on all the lights here instead of opening the curtains?

Because Young Master doesn't like lights.

Please don't open the curtains in his room or turn on the main lights in the house.

If you really need light, you can use the table lamp.

Also, Young Master doesn't like noise.

Please walk and talk softly.

Try not to make any noise when you move.

Do you want to go upstairs and greet Young Master first?

Sure.

Are you afraid of dogs?

Big dogs.

No.

What about... eccentric ones?

Are you talking about a person or a dog?

Both of them have similar characters.

I'm a doctor. Don't worry.

That's great. I'll take you upstairs, then.

Mint.

Hello, is anybody here?

Hello.

I'm coming in.

I'm the new family doctor.

I'm sorry! I did knock just now...

♫ On this very ordinary day ♫

♫ I remember the first time I met you ♫

♫ If I could turn back the clock, I'd love to smile ♫

♫ I misunderstood you back then, (I'm) sorry ♫

♫ But now I know how I felt when you came into my life ♫

♫ Come around just the way you are ♫

♫ You know that I care for you ♫

♫ There's one thing I can tell you ♫

Get out.

♫ I love you, I love you every day ♫

What...

♫ All I want to do is to love you till the world's end ♫

What has happened to you?

Get out.

♫ Never, ever going to give you up, my love ♫

Yunshen. What has happened? Your leg...

♫ Forevermore ♫

Your leg.

Get out.

Get out!

I said, get out!

Leave!

I'll leave.

♫ I'll stand by your side until my dying day ♫

Now!

♫ And I don't know just how to explain all the things I feel ♫

♫ Tell me now, just the way you are ♫

♫ You know that I care for you ♫

♫ There's one thing I can tell you ♫

♫ I love you, I love you every day ♫

♫ All I want to do is to love you, my girl ♫

♫ Never ever going to give you up, my love, forevermore ♫

♫ Girl, I never, ever going to give you up, my love ♫

♫ Forevermore ♫

[Two Years Earlier]

[Shanghai, China]

♫ Girl ♫

♫ you mean everything to me now ♫

♫ Your sweet soul shines clear, baby, all around me ♫

♫ What can I do? (What can I do?) ♫

♫ If I can't see you crying (Can't see you crying) ♫

♫ Because when you smile, I feel you, so deep ♫

♫ So deep inside, oh no ♫

♫ You know, girl, I'd do anything for you ♫

♫ Now let me show you what I'm saying is true, right now ♫

♫ Put on some makeup, let's have some fun tonight ♫

Why hasn't he shown up yet?

I know, right? It's late too. Gosh.

He's delaying us.

You're right.

When can we start the meeting?

Dad. Don't worry. He should be here soon.

[Ling Tian Pharmaceutical Group's Shareholder Meeting]

[Ling Tian Pharmaceutical Group]

Boss.

- How's everything? - Everything is ready. All we need now is you.

Chen Le. Where's Junior President Fu?

He's coming now.

Boss.

I'm sorry. Good morning, everyone.

I got held up as I amended the proposal yesterday.

I came to work on a bicycle today and it didn't cost anything.

Hopefully, you're satisfied with this.

Next, I'll brief you about the proposal you're holding.

Please read it carefully, Uncles.

[Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN)] (T/N: A type of nerve damage that can occur with diabetes)

[Thank you]

Take care, Brother Xizhou.

Country M, I'm coming!

[Heidelberg, Germany]

Twenty-two.

Twenty-three.

Twenty-four.

Twenty-five.

Twenty-six.

Twenty-seven.

Twenty-eight.

Twenty-nine.

Mom...

Eighty-six.

Eighty-seven.

Hello, Uncle Hans. It's been a long while.

Mint. Are you well?

It's been a long while. Is everything going smoothly on your side?

You must be busy serving different departments, right?

You're right. But it's very fulfilling.

Mint. I'm facing something tricky now. I need your help. [Aid Station, Country M]

Do you remember that I mentioned there was an unknown autoimmune disease outbreak in the villages and tribes over here?

Yes. Any updates?

Nothing yet.

I plan on launching preliminary basic research.

Mind you, many children are sent here every day.

So, I need an extra pair of hands.

I've been looking for a suitable person, and that's you.

I...

Mint.

I know this is an unpleasant request for you.

Not at all.

It happened a long time ago.

I was hesitant to speak with you.

Perhaps you might want to return here.

Or maybe you never wish to come back here.

Anyway, I'd like to invite you over.

Not as your uncle or your parents' partner.

I'm asking you as a doctor.

I'll think about it.

All right.

Brother. Why are you so reluctant to enter the lab?

I can't stand the smell in there.

Here. Grandpa knows you always skip meals.

So he sent me over to keep an eye on you.

Thank you.

Brother. How was my performance this morning?

Not bad, right?

You did pretty well.

You had those old geezers fooled when you talked about chemical molecules.

I suppose they won't force you to attend the weekly meeting again.

You can't blame me for that.

Do you know what they said?

They asked me to report our progress on a weekly basis.

This isn't the stock market, with new developments every moment.

Brother. I have a favor to ask.

What are you up to again?

I plan to go to Country M.

I doubt Grandpa would let you go.

- Or your mother. - What about you? Do you agree?

Can't you send someone else there?

Brother. Who should I send?

It's so boring staying in Shanghai.

If I can go there, no one will force me to attend meetings.

Is this how you avoid meetings?

I'm just kidding.

Anyone can handle the affairs in Shanghai.

Actually, I want to go to Country M to look for a plant called "Perdo."

You can't go.

It's not stable there.

I can't let you go there alone.

I have Chen Le.

That's even worse.

Brother.

You've changed.

You've become indecisive.

You used to be fearless. Show me your courage. Come on.

I used to look up to you.

Why have you changed?

As your little brother, I'm so upset.

Stop that.

Don't give me that.

Fine. How about this?

Our company is working on a collaboration with the local government.

I'll have the person in charge receive you there.

The thing is, you must report your whereabouts to me punctually every day.

Goodness, Brother. I can report that to you, but there's no need to receive me.

It's troublesome.

If you did that, I'd rather work my guts out in the lab, instead of such formalities.

Dear Brother, please.

Enough. Please. Stop talking to me like that.

Here's the thing.

I'll give you the contact.

Give them a call if you need any help.

Okay.

Brother, I've already persuaded my mother.

But Grandpa...

Leave it to me.

Enough said, and eat the food. It's going to get cold.

Yunshen. [Fu Villa, Shanghai]

Your luggage is packed. Go and check on it.

Sister Tao, I'm playing with Wutong.

I'll check it later. Thank you.

- All right. - Come here.

Hey, Wutong.

I asked you not to go.

And yet you cross me.

I'm talking to you.

There are many people in the R&D lab.

Can't you just send someone else?

Mom. Take a seat.

You'll get tired from standing.

That place is too dangerous.

The living conditions and sanitation are terrible.

It's too bad if you get sick there.

You are my only son.

Don't worry, Mom.

I've checked the place. It's safe.

Besides, my brother has already reached out to the local government.

They will help me if I have any problems.

Besides, please rest assured, President Jiang.

Your son will return home safe and sound.

Stop being facetious.

Speaking of Fu Xizhou, listen...

Mom, hold your horses.

I know what you're going to say.

What do you know?

It's you who obtained this project.

Lucky him.

Simply by paying lip service in the meeting, and the project fell on his lap.

Listen. Ling Tian will be yours sooner or later.

You can learn if you're inexperienced.

I will teach you.

Otherwise, why do I work so hard for?

I'm doing this for your sake, you know?

Mom. If you keep rambling on this, your son might not return home.

Are you angering me for a purpose?

Mind you, you can make all the decisions by yourself, except for this.

Plus, Fu Xizhou is a dangerous person.

Mom. He is also Dad's son.

There is no problem for him to take over the company rightfully.

There is no problem for him to take over the company rightfully.

Your phone is ringing.

- Come on. Answer the call. - Don't ignore my advice.

Don't worry. My mom is always busy with work.

It must be hard and tiring for you.

What is the matter?

What?

Okay. I'll be right there.

Can't you do your job well?

I'll be there soon.

Be careful, Mom.

Heed my advice.

Okay.

When will scientists invent an automatic luggage-packing machine?

Next. [Transit Airport, Country M]

- Hello. - Okay.

You need to check this in.

I was allowed to carry my backpack when I flew here from Germany.

Different flights, different rules.

Okay.

Please.

Why is this so expensive?

It's more than my ticket where I came.

- I'm sorry. - Boss, hang tight. It'll be our turn soon.

Could you please hurry up?

Hello. What a coincidence to meet Chinese here.

- Hello. - Here's the thing.

Could you please do me a favor?

What is it?

My luggage is slightly overweight.

I just need to take some things out.

Could you carry it over for me?

- No. - Sure.

No?

I'm sorry. But we have quite some luggage, too.

Sorry about that.

- Can you please hurry up? - Sorry.

Hello, my name is Zhu Jiu. I'm not a con artist.

If you don't believe me, you can check my passport.

Miss, I'm sorry, but I don't know you.

It's too bad if you carry something prohibited in your bag.

What an annoying person.

- Travel stay? - Yes.

This is me.

- Can you help me? - Let me help.

Be careful, it's heavy.

That's good. Thank you.

Let's go.

Please take us to the hotel.

Sure.

[Taxi Waiting Area: A]

Hello, Uncle Hans.

You can't hail a taxi at this hour.

Wait at the airport.

I'll send for a car from downtown.

All right. I got it. Thank you.

[Taxi Waiting Area: A]

Boss. You're finally out.

I was worried sick about you just now.

You were so worried that you almost fell asleep, right?

Is our ride still here?

Yes. I'll call him now.

Don't worry, Boss.

Well... The connection is bad here.

I'll call him again. No worries.

Sorry, the subscriber you dialed...

Boss. His phone is off.

I can't reach out to him.

Careful.

Boss. Are there any recently erupted volcanoes nearby?

The temperature is high this late at night.

It should be up to 40 degrees (104°F).

Feeling sweaty, right?

Sit.

Hi.

Here comes a car.

Boss. I'll go and check it out.

Take this.

- Let me get that for you. - Sure.

Let me do this.

Let me help you.

It's you.

What a coincidence.

- Yes. - Well...

Can we carpool?

I'm afraid not.

Because I don't know where you're from.

It's too bad if you carry something prohibited in your bag.

It will be troublesome.

Definitely not.

We went through security together just now. Did you forget that?

I'll pay for the ride.

Sure. We're Chinese, after all.

But I have one condition.

Don't cross the line.

- Forget it, then. You're not riding with me. - What condition?

Hold your passport. I'm going to take a photo of you two.

- Impossible. - Sure.

Hi, let's go.

Wait. We'll do this. Right away.

Boss, give in.

Photo-taking is a simple one. Right?

It's understandable for a lady concerned about safety issues.

- Right... - What's wrong with you? I'm not doing this.

Boss. Don't you want to lie in an air-conditioned room with 26 degrees (78.8°F),

taking a bath while drinking iced beer, and watching a soccer match?

How about this?

I'll ask her to retouch the photo.

Miss. Miss, come on.

We're ready.

Come on, Boss.

- Come on. - Hold on.

Are you done?

Come on.

One, two, three.

Done. Let's go.

Give it to me.

I'll handle this.

- Let me do this. - Thank you.

Miss.

Well,

please sit at the back. It's more comfy.

Thank you.

♫ Oh, baby, what a smile on your face ♫

Which hotel are you staying at?

McLaren Hotel.

What are the odds?

You stay at the same hotel.

Really?

We are so fated.

- A horrible fate. - A horrible fate.

♫ Yes, it is ♫

♫ Every day, I miss you ♫

[Gu Ruanruan]

♫ And the nights are so long, oh, yes, they are ♫

Gu Ruanruan, you better have something important to tell.

It's a huge matter.

Fire away.

Your brother changed to a new swimming complex to avoid me.

Find out for me.

- No. - Fine.

I'll send Zhizhi to your house immediately.

Well. I'll send you the address in ten minutes.

♫ I got a hold you ♫

♫ Tell me that you're mine one more time ♫

[Dear Brother Xizhou, I really like you.]

Are you all right?

[Dear Brother Xizhou, I really like you.]

Xizhou, you have a perfect build.

What a wonderful figure you have.

I just signed up for a VIP membership at the swimming complex you used to go to.

Why did you stop going there?

It's costly, you know?

Do you like swimming?

I like you.

You still like me deep down.

Just admit it.

Let go.

On three.

One.

Two.

[Goal Accomplishments]

Hello, President Fu.

Why are you still working at this hour?

You're stressing me out.

Look at you. Why haven't you rested yet after the long journey?

I can't sleep.

Did someone ambush you at the swimming pool just now?

Just now, Zhizhi asked me about your whereabouts.

I'm thinking of buying a flight ticket to Country M.

Hello?

The signal here isn't great.

- Oh, it's you. Brother Xizhou. - Drop the act.

You know what, the apples here are really sweet.

They are so sweet.

Boss, taste one.

Bye-bye, Brother.

Why do you hang up?

Boss. Get some rest.

I just came here to check on you and bring you an apple.

Get some rest.

Childish.

[Chen Le]

[Help! Wondering if I should quit when my boss's mental age is only three. Urgent!]

[Hope Charity Clinic]

Who wants candy?

Come on, come on.

Good boy.

Zhu Jiu.

Uncle Hans.

- Long time no see. - Long time no see.

Thank you for coming.

I really appreciate you.

- Don't mention it. - Let me carry it.

Let's go.

Was it a tiring journey?

Not really.

Come on in.

Take a look around here.

These are the facilities you funded the clinic over the past few years.

I really appreciate your continuous support for the clinic.

Uncle Hans, you're going to talk my ears off by thanking me.

No need to be so courteous with me.

All right.

My bad.

How time flies.

In a flash, the little clingy girl has grown up.

I wouldn't recognize you at all if I ran into you outside.

- Seriously? - Yes.

Let's go over there.

Over here, this is the main ward area.

We have twelve beds under four nurses' charge.

It was your parents' and my shared dream to establish this clinic.

It's a shame...

that they can't see this now.

By the way, Mint, you're heading to the border this time.

The situation over there has been unstable these years.

It's not safe to travel alone. I'm worried for you.

A friend of mine is going there, too.

You two can team up and look out for each other on the way.

Sure.

Professor Hans.

Mr. Fu.

I can go by myself. It can be quite a nuisance to travel with others.

What do you mean?

Stop it.

Mint. The local situation is unstable.

Even men should have partners to travel along with.

I'm really concerned about you going alone.

It's not about gender.

Plus, you can't drive.

I'll hire a driver.

The clinic only has a limited budget.

- What's with that scoff? - Yes, the problem isn't about gender.

It's up top. Here.

But it's fine. I'm generous enough to give you a ride.

- Like I care. - No one keeps you, though.

You may leave.

Mint. Come with me.

[Mint]

Boss.

Boss. Do you think the lady we'll travel with is pretty?

Pretty? She is annoying.

Are you saying that we're not taking her?

That would be best.

She insists on going even when she can't drive.

That's impossible.

Besides, Professor Hans has made the request.

We must take her with us.

She is over her head.

No. That's what we call an independent woman.

Well, independent women also need to be practical and not do something out of their depth.

Right?

Anyway, it's good to have a doctor with us.

Should I hire a nanny for you?

No, no.

I'll leave you to your plants. I'm going to pack things.

Mr. Fu and I have been friends for years, and he's been providing medicine supplies for the clinic.

I believe in his personality.

On top of that, I've introduced to him a tour guide, who's a local expert.

This is very helpful for your research.

Mint. I must ensure your safety.

If you insist on going alone, I'll have to consider finding someone else.

All right, Uncle Hans.

I know what my mission is here.

Very well.

Bring two boxes of medicine to the aid station when you go over there.

Okay.

Good morning, Le Le.

Good morning, Dr. Zhu.

Did you sleep well?

Yes. How about you?

I had a good night after taking the medicine you gave me. Thank you.

I'm glad to hear that.

Let me carry them.

You can rest.

You have quite a lot of luggage. It's not like you're going on a trip.

They're not.

One is for Boss's equipment and one for his clothes. And my luggage, too.

Why does a man bring so many clothes?

Does he care about appearance that much?

Who are you talking about?

You.

Fine. I'll let you slide.

Great people are bound to have jealous peers.

I'm not a man.

Why am I jealous of you?

Are you not?

Boss. You know what, the environment here is great.

The air is fresh.

Most importantly, there must be a lot of delicious food here.

You must be hungry, right?

I have chocolate bars, Boss.

It can make you happy.

Dr. Zhu.

No, thanks.

How about a banana? It tastes sweet.

Boss?

Dr. Zhu?

Sure.

Chen Le. You can't eat bananas recently. You'll get the runs.

No, I won't.

I prepared this for you.

Dr. Zhu. Why would a young lady like you come to this mountainous area to do research?

That's impressive.

I'm impressed by you.

Dr. Zhu. How old are you?

- I... - Focus on the road, will you?

What's wrong with the car?

I can't start the engine.

Sit in the car. I'll go down and check it.

Nothing is wrong with this.

- Not this, either. - Try this.

Are you all right?

I'm all right.
