[Outpatient Department]

[What are you doing?]

I'm in the store.

What's up?

[Nothing much.]

[I just got off from work]

[and thought I'd call you.]

Miss, how much for these books?

Hang on.

Are you a member?

Yes.

[We have a four for eighty
promotion right now.]

[We accept digital payment.]

Please come again.

How's business?

[Pretty good.]

By the way,

I organised a reading session
at the store

based on movies.

We had a pretty huge crowd.

[The reception was fantastic.]

[The zodiac bookmarks]

I designed sold pretty well, too.

I'm thinking of doing

zodiac themed

hats, socks, t-shirts, and the like.

[What's your zodiac?]

[Wait, let me guess.]

It's...

[Meng Zhen.]

Let's have a meal this weekend.

I'll come and fetch you and Xiao Jun.

What's the occasion?

I'd like to introduce you and Xiao Jun

to my parents.

I want to announce to them

[that you're my lover.]

Sure.

Alright.

See you this weekend.

Xiao Jun.

Time for your medicine.

All done?

Mum.

Yes?

Actually, Zhang Yi Chi is alright.

Why are you telling me this?

He may not be athletic,

but he has a brilliant mind.

A woman should find a clever husband.

It'll save you a lot of trouble.

What told you that?

It's true.

That's what Xuan Xuan said.

For her sake,

I must work hard and become
a smart person.

Good. You have my support.

So

it doesn't have to be Daddy Liang?

Liang Mu Ze is my father.

Zhang Yi Chi is your husband.

There's no conflict.

What do you mean "husband?"

We're not even past first base.

What are you thinking with that
little head of yours?

About your happiness.

Okay.

I'll try my best to lead a happy life.

Alright?

Alright.

Good boy.

[Dr Xia,]

[I don't know if I'll]

[survive the infection.]

[But there's something]

[I must tell you.]

[The truth is,]

[I regretted my decision]

[the moment I swallowed the pesticide.]

[I thought I would die for sure.]

[Thank you for not giving up.]

[You've prolonged my life.]

[I never was a brave person.]

[But my father's passing reminded me]

[that I must live on.]

[Not just for myself,]

[but for the sacrifices he made
for me.]

[This ordeal at the age of 18
was too painful.]

[Luckily, I was given a second chance.]

[The gentle breeze.]

[The warm sunlight.]

[The scent of foliage.]

[Even the most]

[minute speckle of dust makes
me feel alive.]

[If even for one day.]

[One day is enough.]

[Dr Xia,]

[thank you.]

[Besides "thank you,"]

[I don't know what else to say.]

[Thank you.]

[I have no regrets.]

[Every patient steps into a hospital]

[with the hopes of getting better.]

[And every doctor puts on her white coat]

[with the belief that it is her duty
to cure them.]

[In the brutal struggle
between life and death,]

[the patient may be fragile,]

[but the doctor must be strong.]

[We fight against a common enemy,]

[licking our bleeding wounds]

[in our respective ways.]

[We seek victory,]

[but the possibility of defeat]

[is ever-present.]

[Life is full of vicissitudes.]

[In the face of the light,]

[what is victory?]

[One must keep living.]

[With courage]

[and passion.]

[Liu Ran passed away.]

Have you met Old Master?

Does he know about the merchandise?

He knew the moment it happened.

And he didn't suspect you?

If I had done it,

I wouldn't have had the nerve
to see him.

That's what he probably thought.

What's his next move?

He'll let me know

when the time comes.

At least

he hasn't shut me off.

That risky move,

whether for you or for me,

was the right move.

Whether it's the right move
doesn't depend on what you say

but what you do.

I get it.

I'll cooperate with the cops

from here on out.

As long as I can save my mother.

Good.

How's your arm?

Commander,

it's still weak.

Further check-up is required.

Is that what the doctor said?

I feel I should get it checked.

Right.

Go in the afternoon.

Yes, sir!

The rest of you, go back
and recalibrate.

Then assemble at the canteen
for dinner.

Thank you, Commander.

Dismissed.

Tian Yong!

Tian Yong!

Tian Yong!

I knew it,

you're back!

How did you know Tian Yong
was back?

Tarot cards.

You can tell the future
with tarot cards?

Of course.

Look.

I have four cards here.

Each represents a question.

Where is Tian Yong?

What is Tian Yong doing?

When is Tian Yong coming back?

That's only three questions.

What's the last one?

Three and four are pretty
much the same.

How are they the same?

They're both single digits.

Okay.

Fine.

Let me ask you,

how did you know Tian Yong was
coming back today?

Well,

I held my breath,

closed my eyes,

and put my hands together.

Focusing my gaze on the card,

I asked my question.

The thoughts in my mind

coalesce in a confusion of magnetic waves.

Then suddenly,

I heard your wife

coming downstairs with a soldier's wife.

They said you were coming
back today.

After all that hocus pocus,

turns out you got it from someone else?

What does it have to do with tarot cards?

Nothing.

Then why did you bring out
the tarot cards?

Foreshadowing.

It's a performance device
in ancient oral literature.

The tarot cards are meant to
arouse the audience's interest

and serve as a prelude to
the main message.

You scared me.

Commander.

Quit talking nonsense.

What's it to you?

Easy there.

Are you injured?

Keep an eye on her.

Yes.

How did my brother get injured?

What do you think of my
foreshadowing?

Don't hit your brother so hard next time.

Let's go.

Commander, I'll send her home
right now.

Is it just me

or am I getting old?

I couldn't understand a word

your cousin was saying.

Oh no. I don't get her, either.

Neither does the rest of my family.

Really?

You said Tian Yong

is not compatible with your cousin.

Indeed,

Tang Yong is an ancient literature buff.

If the two of them get together,

they'd have trouble communicating.

They're not right for each other.

Not necessarily, Commander.

Of all the ways youngsters
communicate today,

language is the least significant.

Really?

Isn't that a good thing?

Yeah.

I still don't get it.

Why are you still here?

To keep you company.

Don't you find the camp boring?

It is boring.

So why don't you go?

Because I want to keep
you company.

This mission

is very dangerous, isn't it?

No.

You're lying.

My brother hasn't had
an injury in ages.

Did you guys

kill?

What did it feel like?

"A hundred battles have worn
my armour down."

"Yet I won't return until
the enemy is defeated."

Wang Chang Ling's

"Conquering the Distant City,"

poem four of seven?

That's right.

You know something?

While you were gone,

I've been poring over that book
you gave me.

For a girl of 21,

memorising 300 Tang poems

is a great feat.

You've worked hard.

Then there's my AMBD.

What's that?

You know ADHD?

Yes.

If left untreated

until adolescence,

it'll become what's known as

autoimmune mucocutaneous
blistering disease.

You mean

something's wrong with your brain?

Can't you tell?

I think you're very smart.

I think so, too.

But

I can't concentrate

for more than five minutes.

I'm always getting lost.

I'd talk to you one second

and fall asleep the next.

But despite the difficulties,

I still memorised the poems for you.

Do you know

what this means?

Wait here.

Tian Yong!

Where are you going?

For me?

Yes.

Why an hourglass?

Since you can only concentrate

for five minutes at a time,

it means

you should raise your

memorising efficiency
within a five-minute duration.

The hourglass empties in five minutes.

You can use it to time yourself.

Set yourself little targets.

Such as...

I said those things to you

not because I wanted to discuss
how to study poetry.

Yes.

That's right. Not just poetry.

It can also help you

keep track

of your life.

And make you more aware.

What's the matter?

I'm thinking.

About what?

Whether you'll kiss me in the
next five minutes.

I won't.

I swear on my code of conduct,

not just in the camp,

but even the remote wilderness,

that I will not.

You can trust me 100 percent.

Really,

it's a matter of principles.

Then do you...

Do you

want

to taste

my lipstick?

It contains lead.

I'll get poisoned.

Tian Yong!

Here!

Does your phone have any romantic songs?

Play them.

Now?

Yes.

Are you sure?

You'd better hurry.

Look into my eyes.

What do you see

in my eyes?

Mum...

Mum...

Reporting in!

Captain,

Captain Rao Zhi of the
City Security Bureau

wants you to have this.

Thanks.

[Liu Ran passed away.]

Friend, are you done crying?

Sorry.

Thanks.

I can't stand that song.

So why did you play it?

It's the only song in my phone.

You were asking for it, then.

I'm an orphan.

I grew up in a children's home.

I was adopted once.

But because I wouldn't speak,

I was sent back.

After that,

I joined the army at 18.

At first, I just wanted to
make a living.

But after I came here,

I never wanted to leave.

What about your parents?

I have no idea.

This hourglass

and the "300 Tang Poems"

I gave you

are the only pieces of memory
I have left of them.

Do you hate them?

I do.

How could I not?

A part of me hates them,

but a part of me wishes to see them

in my dreams.

Although in my dreams,

I never get to see their faces clearly,

they're always leaving me

or passing away.

Every time, it ends with me

waking up in tears.

If only I can see them in a dream one day,

I'd be

content.

Actually, I'm the same as you.

You?

Although I'm not an orphan,

nor did I grow up
in a children's home,

I seldom get to see my parents.

They're always busy.

Or

they just don't want to see me.

Why wouldn't they?

Do you know why I adopted the parrot?

I was sexually assaulted.

I was 13.

I went to a doctor, did the examinations.

Then my mum brought me to the US.

Perhaps in my parent's eyes

I'm like a tumour,

constantly reminding them of their
failure as parents.

I destroyed their marriage.

I made them feel insecure
and frustrated.

That's why I like to wear quirky outfits

and put on quirky makeups.

I want them to hate me.

To hate me so much
that they can't ignore me.

My brother says I'm dumb.

What do you think?

It seems I am kind of dumb.

So dumb that I can only
make friends with a parrot.

I talk to it every day.

When I cuss at someone,
it'd cuss at that person, too.

It never questions me,

nor does it know right from wrong.

It's always on my side.

Ever since I had it,

I realised

I can face this miserable world

with a smile.

Yes, it's dumb.

But it's also useful.

Isn't that right?

Xiao Xue.

I wanted

to tell you this

after our kiss.

But then you played that song

and told a story that's sadder
than mine.

I couldn't take it.

Do you know

why I'm giving you the parrot?

Because your kindness

will make it forget its anger

and become a better version of itself.

Tian Yong.

All those poems must've messed
with your head.

You don't understand anything.

I do.

[Not only will kidnapping Xia Chu]

[teach Liang Mu Ze a lesson,]

it'll also force Xia Guang Yuan
to cooperate.

[Given the groundwork you've laid
with the girl and her father,]

[this should be a cinch.]

Xia Chu, it's me.

What's up?

[Let's meet up.]

Sorry.

[At the Japanese restaurant
opposite your hospital.]

I booked a private room.

See you there.

Zhuo Ran...

[Rao]

[Did you ask Xia Chu out?]

Yes.

What do you want?

Don't you know how I feel about Xia Chu?

I'll send someone to protect her.

Don't try anything funny.

Li Lei, come here for second.

Dr Zhang.

You're here.

Where is Xia Chu?

She's on leave today.

What's the hurry?

Can you give me a ride
after work?

I'd like to visit Xiao Jun.

You want me to give you a ride?

It's a little out of the way.

I'm supposed to have dinner
with Meng Zhen

and Xiao Jun tonight.

I'm going to introduce them
to my parents.

Your parents...

There's no need to worry.

I know what you're thinking.

Relax.

I know what kind of women

I should get involved with

and what kind of women
I shouldn't.

Since I got involved with Meng Zhen,

I'll go all the way.

Trust me.

Take good care of them.

Zhuo Ran.

Zhuo Ran.

Zhuo Ran.

What do you see?

Zhuo Ran.

That's right.

It's our past.

Let go of me, Zhuo Ran.

And our future.

Let go.

How have you been?

Pretty good.

And you?

I'm

doing okay myself.

Everything

is coming together as I planned.

My predicament will soon be over.

When it's finally over,

will you

give me another chance?

Did you ask me out

just to give me

this ridiculous speech?

Did you?

I want to make up

for what the old Zhuo Ran did.

When he saw the environment
you grew up in,

he shrank.

He couldn't confront the pain
of loss

and chose to run away.

He was a fool.

So I came back.

I want to show him

that I can do

what he couldn't.

I can fit in with your family.

I can give you the life you want.

Xia Chu.

The past eight years have not
been in vain.

Finally, I can do this.

But I can't.

You planted the listening device

in Liang Mu Ze's house, didn't you?

Mi Gu never told you

that I stayed in Liang Mu Ze's house.

You lied to me.

Yes.

I stalked you.

And not just once.

I know I'm being ridiculous

but I can't help myself

but to know everything about you.

To make up for the eight years
that we've lost.

Xia Chu.

The stalking,

the listening device,

it was all me.

But I won't apologise.

[Braised Egg]

What are you doing?

Liang Mu Ze.

Where are you?

In the Japanese restaurant
opposite the hospital.

I'm just kidding.

It's not funny at all.

Are you worried whether he's mad?

Don't bring him into this.

Zhuo Ran, you disrespected me.

I did?

Yeah, who do you think you are?

Who let you answer my call?

How do you think Liang Mu Ze
will react?

I don't want to think about it.

How he reacts has nothing
to do with you.

But you do.

If he could hang up on you

at the sound of my voice,

is he any different

from the Zhuo Ran who
abandoned you eight years ago?

Do you want to make the
same mistake again?

Enough!

Let me send you home.

No, I'll walk.

Calm down.

I'm very calm right now.

It's you who's too presumptuous.

Look,

when you left,

I was a little fazed

by the loss

of an old friend at first

and went through a rough patch.

But later, I enrolled
in the Military Medical University

and made many new friends.

Studying, dating,

extracurriculars,

I did it all.

I got by just fine.

I wasn't as pathetic as you thought.

I'm not some lovesick damsel

waiting for your rescue.

I won't give up

just because my first relationship failed.

Not in the past,

not now,

not ever.

As for Liang Mu Ze,

I love him.

If he takes your "hi"

the wrong way,

and things don't work out,

it doesn't mean you and I
will go back to the way we were.

The past is in the past.

I've moved on from my
18-year-old life.

Even if it wasn't perfect,

I don't want to live it again.

I live for the present

and the future.

My relationships

should be decided by me,

not you.

The reason I came here

is to make myself clear

to you once and for all.

Do you understand?

Liang... Liang Mu Ze.

What are you doing here?

I'm here to fetch you.

Let's go.

But we haven't gotten
to the eel rice yet.

It's your favourite, Xia Chu.

I no longer like eel rice.

Please let go of me.

In that case,

we'll go back to our normal lives.

When did you come back?

Did you see my message?

Can you slow down, Liang Mu Ze?

Liang Mu Ze.

I know you're mad at me.

You didn't like me meeting up
with Zhuo Ran, did you?

Don't deny it.

I know that's what you're thinking.

You're hurting my hand.

I met up with him

not because I couldn't
get over him

but because I did.

I wanted to set the record straight

so he would let go, too.

In any case,

I loved him before.

Since we came together on good terms,

we should part ways on good terms.

Because we may never
see each other again.

Do you understand, Liang Mu Ze?

Do you understand, Liang Mu Ze?

Why don't we go to this restaurant?

Sure.

Why is she on the ground?

Are they having a fight?

Don't mind them.

Get up.

I can't walk. I don't want to walk.

Liu Ran passed away, do you know that?

The lung transplant was a success,

but the infection got to her.

All the doctors

stood by and watched her
drift into sleep.

There was nothing they could do.

Nothing.

It was totally hopeless.

Don't cry.

Have you any idea

what I've been through
the last few days?

I was so sleepy

but I couldn't sleep.

I kept seeing her in my dreams.

She even thanked me,

as if I deserved it.

I couldn't help her.

I couldn't do a thing.

Being a doctor is so hard.

Everything is one big confusion.

It's so tiresome.

There, there.

Come.

Get up.

Why?

You said you couldn't walk.

I'll carry you on my back.

Are you sure?

Come on.

Is something wrong?

Nothing. You're a little heavy,
that's all.

Just kidding. Hold tight.

Hold tight.

You have a stubble.

It's time to shave.

I'll do it when I get back.

Your ears are red.

They're freezing.

Let me blow on them.

That's enough.

I see so many documentaries

of this calibre every year.

They're all

too dramatic.

There's no subtlety.

What do you think?

[Zhuo Ran]

Perhaps the closer I am
to their lives,

the hardest it is for me to take
an objective view.

Amateur.

What did you say?

She said you're very honest.

That's right.

[Zhuo Ran]

Excuse me, I have to
take a call.

Zhuo Ran, listen here.

I'm having a gathering with my friends.

I have my own life and career.

I can't be at your beck and call

24-7.

I'm not some maid

that you can order around at will.

I detest this kind of relationship.

Say something.

[Every saint has a past.]

[Every sinner has a future.]

[Isn't that right,]

[Mi Gu?]

What's with you?

Why are you telling me this?

[I'm in the hotel.]

[Are you coming?]

No.

My party has just started.

[I'll be waiting for you.]

Had your phone call?

Yes.

By the way, we just broke out
a bottle of wine.

It's pretty good.

Shall we go inside and taste it?

Come on.

No, thanks.

You guys go ahead.

You came.

Why didn't you turn on the lights?

I don't feel like it.

What's wrong?

Why are you drinking so heavily?

I thought I had to wait all night for you.

Was the party fun?

Sure.

A group of beautiful, intelligent
men and women,

sipping their
ten-thousand-dollar-a-bottle wine,

musing over

topics of social justice

and equality.

They pretend to stand up
for the underprivileged.

But I assure you,

those people

haven't the slightest clue

what life is really like.

Not once have they

considered stepping out of

the extravagant,

highly intellectual,

cultural elitist,

and socially superior little bubble.

I watched them

descend into their own
self-indulgent world,

their faces immaculate and pompous.

Do you think it was fun?
