[Episode 02]

[2024]

Liu Ruo Chen, long time no see.

Brother Chen, take a look!

I followed up with the last insurance fraud case.

Gao Ru Wen has also been in contact with the suspect.

- Gao Ru Wen? - Yes.

Gao Ru Wen is such a person who's good at manipulating people. [Criminal Investigation File] [(Evidence Document)] [Instigating Murder Suspect: Gao Ru Wen]

Who knows how many people would've fallen victim to him if you didn't put him in jail.

Don't worry! If he commits a crime again,

I'll personally send him to prison again.

What do you want?

I admire you very much.

I want to work with you.

Sorry! I'm not interested.

Why?

We'd definitely be able to achieve great success

with your intelligence and my ambition.

We can stand on top of the world together.

It's simply perfect.

People of different aspirations cannot work together.

Perhaps you forgot how I sent you to jail last time.

That's why I think highly of you.

Thank you.

But I must remind you!

I advise you to correct your old ways and start anew as a good person,

now that you're finally out of jail.

You'll regret this.

[...On the first day since Fan Fan time-traveled here, I regarded her as God's gift to me. I hope that God won't take this gift back...]

[2012]

Are you sure today is August 12, 2012?

Yes.

My phone!

Let me through! Let me through!

Let me through!

Give me my phone!

- Mom, answer the phone! Mom, answer the phone! - Don't run off with my phone!

Mom! Mom! Mom!

I'm sorry!

- My phone! - Look where you're going!

Hey!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Push it upward!

Mom! Mom? Mom—

Mom.

Mom!

[Jian Lu Bistro]

Be quick!

They got her out!

That's great!

Mom.

Is she all right?

Mom.

I've come too late.

It was my fault. I'm sorry!

Mom. Mom! Mom...

Mom.

Mom.

Young Lady, I think you mistook me for someone else, didn't you?

It's currently 2012.

My mom definitely won't believe that I'm her daughter.

Auntie, I'm sorry!

You look so much like my mom.

Silly Girl, what are you saying?

Just now, it was the two of you who saved my life.

Why would I blame you?

This way! Be quick! Keep up!

The firefighters are here.

Mom! Mom.

Fan Fan. Fan Fan!

Mom, what's wrong?

I'm all right. Good girl!

I'm okay.

What's going on?

Your house is on fire.

Wife!

Dad!

Wife, you scared me.

It's all right now.

Are you injured anywhere?

Dad.

- You two are… - I…

They saved me just now.

If it weren't for them, you wouldn't be able to see me.

Thank you. Thank you.

- Thank you. - Thank you, Sister.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - It's okay.

Since Auntie is all right, I'll get going then.

- Thank you. - Thank you, Young Man.

Wait!

I'll see you off.

Young Lady, thank you.

Thank you.

That... Thank you for today.

Let me officially introduce myself.

I'm Lu Fan Fan.

I'm Liu Ruo Chen.

It's late now, you should head back soon.

Back... Where can I go back to?

Nothing! I'll get going now.

Wait a minute!

Your hand!

This is my phone number; if you ever need any help,

you can call me.

Hey!

I'm Liu Ruo Chen. Liu Ruo Chen.

Liu Ruo Chen?

Isn't that the name of that finicky lawyer?

It can't be that coincidental?

[2024]

It's been twelve years.

Fan Fan, when will I see you again?

Director Liu, we've found the person you've been looking for.

Fan Fan.

Who are you?

Why am I here?

Me? Liu Ruo Chen.

Liu Ruo Chen?

The lawyer on TV who is very impressive at winning lawsuits.

No, it's me! Liu Ruo Chen.

Liu Ruo Chen.

It's true we haven't met in many years, but it's unlikely you have forgotten me, isn't it?

Have we met before?

Wait!

I'm your boyfriend, from back in 2012.

Then you suddenly disappeared, so I've looked for you for twelve years.

- I've waited for you for twelve years! - I... I... I...

Brother, I've never dated anyone in my life.

- Fan Fan, think clearly about it! - Help! What's your problem?

- I am Liu Ruo Chen. In the past I really was— - Help! What are you doing?

- What are doing? Let go of my daughter! - Uncle.

- What are you doing? - Dad.

- I'm Liu Ruo Chen. - What Liu Ruo Chen?

What is up with you? Go, go, go!

- Who exactly is he? - Why have they completely forgotten me?

- What kind of person is he to come in here? - Fan Fan.

Mom?

[2012]

Why have I time-traveled back to 2012?

What should I do now?

♫ I only believe the love you said you have for me ♫

♫ Giving me enough love to fill the stars in the sky, every little bit ♫

Jian Lu Bistro.

It's still like how I remember.

It's good, indeed.

I've saved Mom.

In this time and space,

her family can finally live happily together. [Jian Lu Bistro]

But... What should I do?

Can I still go back to 2024?

Where should I go now?

♫ It has brought back memories I can't forget ♫

♫ From that day on, where your marks lie ♫

Young Lady, you... why haven't you gone back yet?

I... just came to this city.

I haven't found a place to stay yet.

I also don't have a place to live.

But I can cook really well.

Is your restaurant still hiring?

♫ Bearing the secret of all my love ♫

Let's go! Come back with me.

Let's go.

[Jian Lu Bistro]

Slow down!

- Are you all right? - Are you all right?

[2024]

When did you get discharged from the hospital?

- Are you all better now? - I've always been good.

No, I mean when I was twelve,

after our house caught on fire, you'd always been in the hospital.

Fire?

That's right! Yes.

When you were twelve, there was a fire.

But I was all right.

All right...

Oh, no! This child's brain has gone bad.

No problem! I'll stew some pig brain for you tonight

to nourish your health well.

Shouldn't I be at the hotel?

Where is this place?

I remember there was a power outage.

Then... I fainted.

[No Boxing] [No Life]

You've been here the whole afternoon.

What's wrong?

- I found Fan Fan. - Really?

Where is she?

At the hospital.

- What happened? - Memory loss!

Other than her parents, she doesn't remember anyone else.

- How did that happen? - How would I know?

I waited all these years, and this is what I got.

Pull yourself together!

At least...

You found her.

Give Fan Fan some time!

As long as your love is strong enough,

she'll remember you.

It's great! Mom was saved. [2012]

But how should we solve the fire insurance issue?

Liu Ruo Chen.

[By Law: Defense Attorney Liu Ruo Chen] [Devoted Defending Litigants' Legal Rights and Interests] [Deming Law Firm]

This is Liu Ruo Chen from twelve years ago.

If he really is a top lawyer in the legal world,

then this type of case for him

should be quite easy.

If I can get along with the future top lawyer

by pretending to be his girlfriend to make it to the very top,

this won't just be a dream.

I'm really so clever!

I'm really YYDS (TN: Yong Yuan De Shen means cool idol).

That's true!

Hello?

Hello! How do you do?

I am Lu Fan Fan.

It's you.

- What's the matter? - There's something I have to talk to you.

But... can we talk in person?

R-R-Right now?

Okay.

I live at No. 8 Wang Hai Street, Shui Ying Qing City, Building 20.

Okay. I'll see you soon.

Building 20...

What a big house!

Hi. I'm Lu Fan Fan.

Hi.

Please come in.

Do you live on your own?

My parents weren't with me since I was young, so I have been living on my own.

This is really too extravagant, isn't it?

Please have a seat!

Would you like to eat anything? Fruits?

Ice cream? Chocolate?

Those all have too high calories.

I've prepared a healthy meal for you.

Why are you spacing out?

Quickly sit down.

Here's the silverware (flatware).

It's really delicious.

Isn't there anything to your taste?

No. It's too delicious so I choked.

That's good then.

You said you needed to talk to me about something.

What is it?

The insurance company won't pay compensation for the restaurant damage.

So I wanted to ask if it is possible to resolve this through legal measures?

How do you know I study law?

Oh, no! I made a slip of the tongue.

Never mind! I'll just tell him then.

Let me tell you a secret.

Don't be scared!

I traveled back in time to here.

Are you saying that you have superpowers?

So you specifically came to find me?

Is it because of such a small matter?

Small matter? This isn't some small matter.

I'm your future girlfriend; you have to help me with this.

Girl... girlfriend?

In the future.

How would anyone like me, with my appearance?

In the future, you're a handsome lawyer.

Many people will like you.

Be confident!

She is such a pretty girl, but she doesn't seem very bright.

She's really crazy.

I'll think about it.

Then... I'll leave now?

Then when you're done thinking,

remember to give me a call.

I'll wait for your call.

[Jian Lu Bistro]

Brother, this isn't within our compensation policy.

- We really can't. - Don't be angry.

This can't be done; that can't be done! Why did I buy your insurance then?

I also understand how you're feeling.

- However, it's company policy, so we really can't pay for it. - What lousy policy?

Say that again for me! Are you going to pay or not?

- Uncle. - Liu Ruo Chen?

Uncle, calm down! I'll handle this.

Hello.

First, according to the insurance contract that was signed,

the insuree bought property insurance which includes the added clause for coverage of fires and explosions.

Because the property damaged is due to the fire,

- you must cover for it. - That's right.

Secondly, when the insurance company formulates disclaimers (denial of responsibility),

it must be clearly stated within the insurance policy.

This would allow the policyholder to be informed.

The specific details of the disclaimer

must be stated clearly through a verbal or written form given

to the policyholder.

Uncle, at that time, did the insurance company clearly state the details of their disclaimers?

Of course, they didn't! I wouldn't have bought it then.

Take a look!

Look! Take a good look!

Brother, when introducing the policy at that time, we probably overlooked it.

As if I believe you!

In conclusion, the disclaimer is invalid.

That's right! Invalid! It's invalid.

All the dishes have been served.

- Let's eat. - I propose a toast.

Today, we must thank Xiao Liu.

He did an amazing job today!

Am I right? Here, Xiao Liu!

- This one is for you. - Thank you, Brother!

- Thank you. - Thank you, Xiao Liu.

To the future Lawyer Liu.

- So straight-forward? - Are you all right?

- I'm all right. - Then later I'll walk you back.

- There's no need to. - I should.

♫ Love can be hurting sometimes ♫

♫ Love can be healing every wound ♫

♫ But for you, I'm willing to be brave ♫

♫ Taking the risk, no matter what they say ♫

Sister, can you play with me?

Alright. Go to play! I'll wait on the side.

- What do you want to play? - I want to build a sand castle.

Let's go!

- Okay, let's make a sand castle. - All right!

♫ Recall your whisper ♫

♫ Whenever your dreams fall apart ♫

♫ I will be on my way ♫

Yes! Success!

♫ Underneath your breath, I feel the warmth ♫

♫ Maybe one day, we will be lost in the midst of this cold world ♫

[2024] ♫ Just remember my whisper ♫

Is there something wrong with Fan Fan's brain?

She talks of things that make no sense.

Does she have memory loss?

You can't really say it's memory loss, either.

She remembers some things,

but she has also forgotten some things.

She recognizes us, but she also doesn't seem to.

It's very complicated; I really don't understand.

It's like this! We gave her a detailed examination.

All her indicators show everything is normal.

She shouldn't be having memory loss.

Then why is she like this right now?

If this continues, will she be unable to recognize us in the future?

There's no need to be so pessimistic. Medical science is currently very developed.

If you're still worried, I can examine her again.

- I promise that I'll find the problem. - Okay. Thank you, Doctor.

[Lu Fan Fan - 24 years old] [Nutritionist]

[Jian Lu Bistro]

We're here.

- Be careful. - Shen Jing, hurry on up to organize our child's things.

- Okay, I'll go up to organize it for you. - Thank you, Dad!

You're back now, so for the time being, don't go out to work.

Just rest well at home.

Tonight, your dad will prepare something delicious for you.

I'll go to work now.

- Hello? - Hello, Boss! Can you take my order?

- Please give me a second. - I would like lemon chicken feet,

crispy rice cake, garlic steamed shrimp,

and one of your store's signature milk teas.

Signature milk tea?

We don't have that here. I'm sorry!

That can't be! I ordered it yesterday.

Please send it over as quickly as possible.

- Mom. - What's wrong?

Do we sell a signature milk tea?

Yes. We always have.

- When have we? - Have you forgotten?

A long time ago, we had a young female part-timer.

- She invented it. - You loved to drink it when you were younger.

I remember! I remember now.

You can let me be.

What exactly has gone wrong?

Why is everything so different from what I remember?

Is what Liu Ruo Chen said true?

- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.

Lu Fan Fan?

I didn't expect to meet you here. Are you here to get groceries?

You are?

Have you forgotten me? I'm Gao Ru Wen.

Gao Ru...

I'm sorry! I had an accident.

So my memory is a bit messed up.

- Did we know each other before? - Yes.

Look! We've known each other for a very long time.

You used to hang out and talk often with me.

Sorry, sorry! It really isn't intentional.

No worries! You should go to chat with your old friends, and visit places you used to go often.

It'll help you recover your memories.

Your current situation is like a computer that has crashed; it has a bit of a glitch.

When it is fixed, everything will go back to normal.

I believe I'll get better after some time.

This is my business card. [Gao Ru Wen] [Hai Cheng College Psychology Professor]

Take it! You may need it later.

Thank you.

"Gao Ru Wen."
