=Episode 35=

You suddenly ran over here.

Watch first before you jump.

She was saved

and she's sitting there.

You didn't even look carefully.

I saw your jacket on the lake.

So many people were surrounding the lake.

The wind was so strong just now.

My colleague borrowed my jacket.

The people you saw

were looking for the equipment.

How would I know?

I thought you fell into the lake.

At least you know

I can swim.

It has nothing to do with

if you can swim or not.

I was afraid that you...

Are you okay?

Do you remember that you said

most of the farewells

are sudden?

It's rare to have the chance

to prepare to lose.

I've experienced it

too many times.

I don't want to experience it anymore.

Breaking up with you is

the silliest decision that I've made.

So, I'm willing to wait for you for a lifetime.

But, I was really afraid

to lose you, that I can't wait for you,

and I can never see you anymore.

Xiaoran.

I don't want to lose you anymore.

I'm sorry.

I've troubled you and your colleagues.

I didn't know the water was so deep.

Do you know what?

Your face was pale

and terrifying.

You look better now.

I'm fine.

Don't be stressed.

Don't neglect your work

and stay here with me.

I won't let you marry me

to return the favor.

Have you forgotten that we've agreed to meet today?

I was supposed to look for you in the homestay

after the interview.

Don't you remember?

Luckily, I put it in my bag.

I found it under the pillow

when I was putting Taiyang to bed.

(Xiaoran.)

(He Xiaoran.)

I think I pressed it accidentally

on the night that

I was admitted.

(Xiaoran.)

(He Xiaoran.)

I was feeling dizzy.

I can't remember.

(Xiaoran.)

You recorded for four hours.

I've listened to it the whole night.

I heard how you were calling my name

when you were sick.

I can hear the weak side of yours

that you'll never

show me when you're well.

Whenever you call my name,

I'd feel sad

and my heart aches.

It's worse than

the time when we broke up.

So, Xiao Shangqi,

I'm looking for you today

to tell you that

I don't want to lose you either.

I don't want you

to be sad alone.

I'll be with you from now on.

Furthermore,

I've saved you just now.

You should marry me

to return the favor.

Xiaoran,

I should've told you earlier

that I can't live without you.

I need you.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, too.

I know what you're afraid of

the most.

I know you regret the most

for not being able to make up

your relationship with your father.

You're right.

If something happened to you today,

or something happened to me,

we can no longer

be together anymore.

I'll never let that

happen.

We'll never let that happen.

It's my mother.

Hello, mother.

What?

Why are you seeing him again?

This rascal has hurt you

many times.

He's forced you to leave Hupu twice.

Don't you think it's too much?

Father.

Mr. He, Mrs. He,

I've indeed done

something bad before.

I've opened a room

in Jifeng for you.

Take a rest there.

There's no need for that.

We've booked a hotel.

Jifeng is just

across the radio station.

Didn't you come to visit me?

Father,

you can see where I'm working

from the room in the hotel. It's nice.

We'll pay for it.

What are you waiting for? Lead us there.

Meng.

Mr. Xiao, you're here.

It's too early for supper.

It's not ready.

There's peanut here.

Eat this.

Thank you.

What's going on?

Meng.

If your daughter's boyfriend

has made you angry,

what do you think he can do

to make it up?

I'm so annoyed by him!

How dare he even come?

What's wrong?

No father-in-law in the world

likes to see his son-in-law.

It's so annoying.

You'll know

when you have a daughter.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

You don't say. This is knowledge.

Let me see

how I can make my father-in-law happy.

Learn slowly, silly boy.

Meng, carry on.

I'm leaving now.

I've just fried the dish.

Put it in the fridge.

What are you thinking?

Xiaoran.

I'd like to bring Mr. He and Mrs. He out

for a meal tomorrow.

Why not we slow things down?

My father is short-tempered.

It's not easy this time.

Also, they're going to

the loft tomorrow.

Then I should just join you.

No.

I guess my father

will not treat you nicely.

I've just

got you back.

Even if I'll be slapped,

I'll go.

Really?

Xiaoran.

It's good to have you by my side.

Do you think

I'll wake up tomorrow

and realize this is just a dream?

Does it hurt?

It doesn't.

Is this a dream?

It's not real enough.

Are you still dreaming?

I don't think so.

I think it's real.

I don't want you to go home.

Better sleep early.

The battle with my parents

is not easy.

Okay.

(Yunlan Jifeng)

Have you eaten?

I need to go back

and research on this red bean soup.

It's tasty.

The snacks are all tasty.

Good morning!

Father.

Mother.

Good morning, Xiaoran.

Did you sleep well?

Not bad.

Hello, Mr. He, Mrs. He.

Come in.

I wanted to come earlier

to look at how

your house looks like.

So, it looks like this.

I was wondering why

you're dwelling in this place

and not going home.

Come on, mother.

Sit on the sofa.

Look at the style.

Li Hui is not at home now.

I'm staying here alone.

You're staying here alone.

It's not safe.

How is it not safe?

The combination lock

was fixed for us by

Xiao Shangqi's staff from Jifeng.

Did your housemate, Wei,

go home as well?

Coming.

You're at home.

Why are you here?

I'm here to give you this.

Our new fragrance.

Wei.

Mr. He, Mrs. He, you're here.

Wei.

Hello.

When did you come?

We were talking about you.

Take a seat, Mrs. He.

We were too rushing in Hupu.

We didn't get to talk to you.

We have time now.

Mr. He, Mrs. He,

stay in Wusu for a few days.

I'll make the arrangement.

I'm familiar with Wusu.

We were thinking about

where to eat lunch.

I'll buy you lunch.

There's a new restaurant nearby.

It's owned by my friend. The food is tasty.

Well...

Mr. Sui,

you're so busy.

You don't have to worry about this.

I'll arrange for the lunch.

Look at you.

You don't get it.

There's nothing more important than

accompanying Mr. He and Mrs. He.

You're busy with your work.

Get back to work quickly.

We're not eating out

for lunch.

He and I

will cook

a Hupu's home-cooked meal.

Stay and eat with us.

Okay.

Yes, it's happening with more people.

Yes.

Let us cook.

Let me do it.

Mr. He, you like watching football?

Of course.

He'd stay up the whole night to

watch the UEFA European Football Championship.

Mr. He,

which team do you support?

It's...

Which team do you support?

Which team?

- Argentina. - Brazil.

Argentina.

It is my least favorite team.

Mr. He.

Mr. He.

Neymar is

the greatest player of all time.

I like Neymar, too.

Really?

After Neymar was injured,

they only have Fred,

Walker and Oscar

left in the roster.

Look at the forwards.

I've finally won.

Right? He...

Wei.

When you come to Hupu,

drop by.

I'll show you Neymar's

photo with his autograph.

Really, Mr. He?

When did you get that?

I won't simply show it.

Seriously?

I need to have a look.

- Yes. - Mr. He.

I'd like to take a look, too.

Forget about it.

Who knows if

you've broken up by then or not?

Father.

Mr. He.

I'll never hurt Xiaoran anymore.

I'll never let her go anymore.

You've done that before.

How do you prove that?

We'll get married.

I'll prove it with a lifetime.

How can you simply say that?

I know it's too reckless

to talk about this.

However, Mr. He, Mrs. He,

please give me some time.

I'll prove it with actions.

Mr. He, let me see you out.

(Blue Friend Creative Community) No need.

No need.

Call you later.

Okay.

Be careful.

Dude,

you're brave.

You even talked about

getting married.

This is the first time I salute you for what you did.

My mother passed away

when I was young.

I have no concept

about marriage.

What I can imagine

is the feeling of Xiaoran's parents.

The decision today

was quite sudden,

but I feel good

after saying that.

I want to form a family.

Xiaoran is already my family

that I can't live

without.

Marriage is for a lifetime.

I live

for today.

I've never thought of spending the rest of my life

with someone

besides

Li Hui.

Are you free later?

Why?

Qi

wanted to give us

an assurance,

but your father

got a surprise instead.

He spoke about marriage

instead of just dating.

Ran,

what do you think?

I think marriage is too early

for me now.

But if it's

Xiao Shangqi...

Drink some milk.

No rush.

Here.

Come here.

Stop.

Look at this.

This.

Be nice.

Be nice.

Get up.

Look at this.

Look at this.

I think it's not bad.

Ran,

I'll sleep with you tonight.

What about me?

Go back to the hotel.

Ran is getting married.

It's a big deal.

I need to discuss with her.

Yes, you need to discuss about it.

Let's go up.

Let's go.

Actually, I realized that

the young people now

know nothing about marriage.

Or I'd say that

you have no desire to get married.

But, I've thought about it.

I'll never force you to get married.

I'll give you the courage to stay single.

Actually, before today,

I've never thought of this.

Ran,

not getting married

doesn't mean you'll not be happy.

It doesn't mean you'll be happy

after getting married either.

Actually, when two people get married,

you'll face many

trivial matters in life that you can hardly imagine.

So, before you make any decision,

you must figure out

why you want to get married.

I...

I want to give him a home.

Mother.

Xiao Shangqi

has lost both his parents.

When he was young,

his mother has passed away.

His father didn't know

how to express himself.

Actually, all these years,

his relationship with

his father and his brother

was hidden and twisted.

We don't have a chance

to choose

which family

we want to be born into,

but we can choose

what family we want to build.

So, I want to make it up to him

the love he was lacking of.

My daughter has grown up.

Don't worry.

I'll talk to your father.

Actually,

I don't trust Qi much,

but I trust my daughter.

I'm sure he's worthy to be loved

since you love him so much.

(I'm waiting for you downstairs.)

Are you looking for Qi?

Go ahead.

(Blue Friend Creative Community)

Here.

What's this?

Get in the car first.

You must be tired.

What goes around comes around.

I didn't expect that

I stayed up the whole night

to prepare for

He Xiaoran's proposal.

Here, Espresso.

You can surely stay awake until the end

with widen eyes.

You're working hard on this.

What kind of a proposal

would you like to have?

They're coming.

Have you convinced her?

I was asking her why

she wants to get married.

I thought

she wants to settle down

and live

a simple life with him

to experience a different life.

Guess what she said.

She said she wants to give Qi a home.

I can't keep her anymore.

He.

Actually, I think

Ran's lucky to have

this kind of relationship.

You should

change your mind.

Just treat Qi

as your son.

Think about it.

His father has passed away.

Your fatherly love

is overflowing.

Just give him some.

Then

we're not giving away our daughter,

but we're bringing a son

back home.

Isn't that great?

Where's Xiaoran?

Ran

must be experiencing

the most beautiful moment

in her life now.

So dark.

This way.

He Xiaoran,

will you marry me?

I know this is a bit sudden.

You can think about it first.

But I'll propose to you

again and again

until you say yes.

I do.

Let's get the side dishes ready.

Okay.

I'll make the gravy by myself.

Okay, chef.

Hu.

Remember what I told you.

Take note of the temperature of the oil.

Is the SFDA

coming for an inspection?

His father-in-law is coming.

Not bad.

It can be sweeter.

Then I'll go make another one.

No need.

I'll come again next time.

Okay.

Your father and I

are going back today.

You're getting married.

I'm sure you two have

a lot of things to discuss.

Your father and I will not disturb you.

We'll be waiting for

your news in Hupu.

I have high demands

on my son-in-law.

I'll do my best

to meet your expectation.

Let's eat.

Let's eat.

Mother, try this.

You should eat, too.

Here, let's eat.

Let's eat.

Be careful.

(Li Hui)

(Wedding photo, hotel reservation, customized ring, recreational vehicle,)

(inform friends and family, take photo for marriage registration,)

(buy couple shirts, get the marriage certificate, road trip)

Let me tell you my plan.

For our

honeymoon to view the snow,

I think 2nd of February

is a good date.

We'll depart on that day.

On the night of 1st of February,

we'll gather everyone

to have a meal at home

as our wedding banquet.

In the afternoon on 2nd of February,

we'll go get the marriage certificate.

After that,

we'll depart straight away

from the Bureau of Civil Affairs.

We'll stop by Hupu

and have a meal with Xian

and my parents.

Then we'll go north

and pass by Weifang, Beijing and Shenyang.

Then we end up in Harbin.

We'll not drive more than nine hours

a day.

We'll take turns to drive.

It's too tiring.

If we're tired,

we can pull over

or find a transit city.

After all, all the hotels

that I booked can be cancelled

within 24 hours.

Think about it.

Even though we're taking a flight

back here,

you would've used up more than

half of your leave.

When we're back,

you'll realize that

actually the most beautiful moment

is not the destination,

but the journey.

Okay.

I'll rent a recreational vehicle.

Okay.

We'll split and take action.

We're running out of time.

Hurry up.

Okay.

I want to just depart now.

I want to just go now.

We need to first rent

the car.

We'll walk there.

Let me see. Yes.

Actually, we can take a rest here.

Okay.

First day and second day.

Let me do this.

We need two more chairs. Go get them.

You're here.

We need two more chairs.

Have you thought about

why He Xiaoran wants

to hold the banquet at home?

She doesn't want you

to make it grand.

This is not grand.

Here.

I've picked this for you.

The car is outside.

Just call me if you need anything.

Thank you.

You'll be married tomorrow.

How do you feel now?

I feel stable.

I feel like being caught

tight.

Don't be jealous. You'll have it as well.

Why are you so proud of yourself?

Didn't you invite Hui?

We did, but she's not coming.

If you want to see her,

go find her.

Have the cross-cupped wine!

- Have the cross-cupped wine! - Have the cross-cupped wine!

Great!

My fish is done.

Eat first.

- I'll go get the fish. - I'll help you.

Eat first.

Come on.

Here.

Is she your girlfriend?

Let's eat.

She looks familiar.

No.

I'm Xiaoran's high school classmate.

Now, I'm an employee in Jifeng.

So, Mr. Lin

is your superior.

No wonder you're taking care of his son.

Yes.

Li Hui is making a video call.

Hui.

Congratulations.

I have a performance tomorrow.

So, I can't be there.

I'll drink here with you.

- Come on. - Come on.

Thank you. Cheers.

The home banquet is not bad.

Yes, Sui is here as well.

Here.

Talk to her.
