[Falling Into You]

[Adapted from the novel "Blazing Trail" by Twentine]

[Episode 17]

Come in.

Welcome.

Where are your parents?

They are not home.

Didn't you say your parents would be home?

They will be tomorrow.

Have a seat, Coach.

Make yourself at home.

I...

I'll change my shoes.

Sure. Suit yourself.

I'm hungry.

Do you have instant noodles here?

Instant noodles?

Come on, Coach.

You're in the Duan's Residence.

You're not having instant noodles here.

Here.

Please wait for a moment.

♪As expected♪

♪There are exceptions♪

Enjoy.

♪Should I stay?♪

♪Bored out of my mind♪

♪My answer♪

♪I'm sure you have it♪

♪Should I stay?♪

♪Right now♪

♪It's better than guessing alone♪

Dinner's ready!

♪Should I stay?♪

♪Waiting for you to confess♪

♪Because I know you need me♪

♪Bored out of my mind♪

♪I feign indifference♪

♪Bashful and annoyed♪

You went to a culinary school?

♪My answer♪

Do you know there's something called a recipe?

♪I'm sure you have it♪

When I was little, I followed cooking recipes

when my parents weren't home.

I tweaked the recipes to my preference.

♪Right now♪

Hunger forced a lonely boy to grow up.

♪It's better than guessing alone♪

Once you're done,

let me show you my room.

♪Waiting for you to confess♪

Okay.

♪Because I know you need me♪

Come in.

Come in, Coach.

It's okay.

It's a bit messy in here because I haven't tidied this place for a while.

I hope you don't mind.

The ocean is just across the room.

You can see it in the morning

but it's dark now.

Not bad, isn't it?

I should get your room ready, Coach.

Okay.

Just sit anywhere.

An athlete shouldn't sleep on a mattress this soft.

Coach.

Your room is ready.

Okay.

Is it okay for you to stay here tonight?

Of course.

All right.

Then...

Do you want to test it?

Test what?

The bed.

Because I saw that you quite like

my mattress.

If you think this bed isn't comfortable

and prefer mine,

you can sleep in my room.

I mean,

we swap rooms.

I'll sleep here.

Oh.

The mattress feels comfy.

Okay.

But the duvet

might be a bit thin.

If you think...

It's okay. It's not hot in here.

Not hot...

What about the pillows?

I like the color.

Right?

I bought the entire 4-piece bedding set

for you.

It's getting late now.

You should go to bed.

Right. It's 8:20 pm now.

Rest early too, Coach.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

If anything,

just let me know.

I'm upstairs.

Okay.

-Goodnight. -Goodnight.

(Are you asleep?)

[Duan Yucheng]

[Luo Na]

(Not this soon.)

(What do you want to have for breakfast?)

(Steamed buns and pickles.)

(Never mind. I'll get something for you.)

(Luo Na.)

(Stay strong.)

(Don't make any mistakes.)

(After you wash your face,)

(apply the mask for 15 minutes.)

(You shall know)

(how I felt when I made this face mask.)

(Morning!)

(This is the island travel manual)

(provided by your local guide, Duan.)

(There's also a personalized song list for your enjoyment.)

(I hope you'll like it.)

♪Sunrise captures the silhouette of the island, while the shadow dances across the tide♪

♪The waves chase after the footprints, breathing them in♪

♪I want to follow you, let the sun melt the distance between us♪

♪I'm faltering in my steps, don't be too greedy♪

♪The breeze shares with me a secret, you can't hide your scent from me♪

♪We are stuck together after heavy rain from the evaporation♪

♪The convenience store is blasted with cold air, but we are still sweating bullets♪

♪Stop checking your phone all the time and pretending that you don't care about me♪

♪For me♪

♪Summer is not just about carbonated drinks and jerseys♪

♪With clear and transparent courage♪

♪Don't stop me, I want to tell you everything♪

♪As long as you are here, I won't stop♪

♪This passion will burn forever♪

♪Let's sprint towards the ocean♪

♪The blazing wave is glowing♪

♪I've been looking forward♪

♪To the infinite future♪

♪I leave everything behind except for you to stride across the sky♪

♪And give it my all to leap towards this stage♪

♪I've been looking forward♪

♪To the infinite future♪

[I'm waiting for you here]

♪You said there will be success and failure if I come to you♪

♪Great things come naturally♪

It looks beautiful.

Don't be mad.

Coach.

It's just a relationship.

Coach.

Wait for me.

Coach.

It's just a relationship.

It's not prohibited.

Only in your generation.

Back then, it was prohibited.

You're even more old-school than Mr. Wang.

Athletes are humans too.

It's cruel

to ban dating.

You can date.

There was an unspoken rule back then.

Only the world champion is allowed to date.

Coach.

I'm a decathlete.

And you want me to be the world champion?

If you

want to reject me, just say it.

No need to do this.

Coach.

I'll make something for you to eat.

You can take a warm shower first.

The meal will be ready.

Just wait for a moment.

Are we going to pretend nothing happened

again this time?

Coach, I really, really

like you.

I like you too.

Say something.

I was waiting for a "but".

There's no "but".

I like you.

Just like you like me.

Your cleaver!

Compose yourself.

I need to tell you something.

Go ahead.

I'm not a person of two minds.

Since we already...

Kissed.

I know.

Continue.

Then

there's no point in hiding my feelings.

It's unfair to you.

Everything isn't as simple as you think.

We can be together

but I have one condition.

Are you listening to me?

Yes.

As long as I can be your boyfriend,

I'll do anything.

(Darling.)

(Do you like my lipstick?)

(Yes.)

Can you check my eyeliner?

Please?

I'm driving.

You're meeting your son.

Why are you putting on makeup?

I have to look pretty.

First of all,

no one can know about this.

Why?

We have nothing to hide.

Yes,

but it's to avoid unnecessary problems.

We have to keep this under wraps

for at least a year.

Secondly,

it is a crucial moment for you now.

There can be no mishaps.

I'll set a goal for every match

and you must achieve it.

But my performance can fluctuate.

I can't always...

All right.

As long as you don't set outrageous goals,

I will achieve them.

Thirdly,

if I think our relationship

is affecting your training and your tournament,

we end it right away.

-No. -Also,

once my postgraduate study is over,

I'll leave Nanhu University.

That's unnecessary, Coach.

Listen carefully

to what I'm about to say.

Whatever your excuses are,

I still think

that a 20-year-old professional athlete

shouldn't date anyone.

But I admit that I like you.

I like you so much that I'm willing to take the risk.

I want to see if this relationship

can affect you positively.

It will.

It has to.

You're an athlete.

20 years old is your prime

and you have the potential.

If this relationship impedes your growth for a year,

then I fail as a coach.

What's bothering you?

You made it sound so scary.

Don't be scared.

Didn't you always tell me to have faith in you?

Where's your confidence?

It's here.

Good.

I just want you

to see your priority now.

If you agree to the above conditions,

from now on,

you'll be my boyfriend.

I won't let you down.

(Cheng!)

Cheng, I'm back!

Why didn't he close the door?

Where are you, Cheng?

Cheng?

Mom, you're back.

Mom.

I mean, hi, Mrs. Duan.

Coach Luo, you're here.

Coach Luo!

Hi, Mr. Duan.

Duan Tao, say hi to Coach Luo.

Hi, Coach Luo.

I'm Duan Yucheng's father.

Nice to meet you.

I'm sure my son

must have given you a lot of trouble.

Not at all. He's excellent.

You're too humble.

Don't stand on ceremony now.

Coach Luo here

is like a sister to me. Isn't it, Coach Luo?

Coach Luo, please have a seat.

Hurry.

Okay.

Don't touch me!

When did you arrive?

I thought we would arrive here early

but my goodness, you're even earlier!

Honestly,

we shouldn't have taken the car. Waiting for the cargo ship

was such a pain.

That's what you get for not taking the high-speed rail.

Why didn't we park the car

at the dock then?

We can then drive it back home later.

You have to bring this up earlier next time.

Hindsight is all you have.

Didn't I bring this up?

Perhaps you said it in your dream.

And you didn't catch that?

I did. I even confirmed with you.

But you took it back.

Impossible!

Lukewarm passion fruit juice with honey

for the two ladies here.

Thank you.

Have a taste, Coach.

Cheng is good at making drinks.

Thanks.

It is delicious!

In fact,

the school has already contacted us.

You came here this time

to talk about his sports career, I presume?

Yes.

If he becomes a professional athlete,

he'll have a lot of competitions

and he might need to suspend his study for a while.

But the university will retain a spot for him

so that he can continue studying in the future.

His academic advisor also called us earlier on

to tell us not to let his study go to waste.

Compared to other athletes,

he has a lot more options.

Of course,

you have the final say.

But what I want to say

is that he

is a gifted athlete

and sports is his passion.

I don't think

it's a loss if he pursues this path.

But can you guarantee that he can achieve something?

I can't.

But

I can work with him together.

Cheng is also a smart student.

Perhaps if he gets a degree,

his future may be even brighter.

Of course.

But it's the same too.

No one can guarantee

he can ace all the general subjects

in his course.

Don't you agree?

She's right.

I can't promise you that.

I know he's smart.

Getting into Nanhu University is no easy task.

But

thousands of candidates can get into Nanhu University each year

but only

he has the precious gift

in track and field.

I like what you said there, Coach Luo.

I'm willing to entrust Cheng

to you.

Is the meal ready?

I'm starving!

Cook now.

All right. I'm on it.

Coach Luo.

Let me show you around.

Okay.

What are you doing?

Coming with you.

I just had my manicure.

Help your dad wash the vegetable.

Go now.

Cheng, come.

Bring this to the kitchen.

Come, Coach Luo.

No, take the one on the table.

Don't drop it!

Coach Luo.

Cheng trained here

when he was little.

Here?

Yes.

He trained alone.

This was once a sandy beach.

At first, he practiced the long jump.

Then, he switched to the high jump.

Do you know why he switched to the high jump?

No idea.

Cheng's growth spurt came later than other kids.

He was always the short one

so he started high jumping to become taller.

Somehow, he became fascinated by it.

I see.

He was a quiet kid.

He had

a lonely childhood.

My husband and I were too busy.

We couldn't play with him

but he never complained.

He's so obedient.

He is a good kid.

Coach Luo,

whatever Cheng wants to do for his future,

my husband and I will not intervene.

If that is what he wants to do,

we will give him our support.

You will too, right?

Of course.

You will always

have his best interest at heart.

Is that true?

Yes.

Come. Let me show you that side.

Come, Luo Na!

I didn't lie to you, did I, Coach?

Cheng is a great cook.

He is amazing.

Try this.

The fried cod is delicious. Try it.

Cheng sure treats you better

than he treats his own mother.

No way.

She is joking.

Mom.

It's dad's job to spoil you.

You fired at the wrong person there.

Enough about this.

Come.

Let's have a toast.

-Come. -Sure.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Coach Luo.

Do visit us often.

My wife can't drink

and my son passes out after a glass.

With you here, I'll have someone to drink with.

-Okay. -Cheers.

Come.

-I can do it myself. -Let me refill your glass.

She has finished

half a bottle with you.

Don't go overboard.

Don't make her drunk.

Coach Luo is no ordinary person.

Besides, you can't drink anyway.

It's not the first time you know I can't drink.

Why did you marry me then?

Our marriage

has nothing to do with your alcohol tolerance.

Are you full?

Yes.

Let's go.

I'll show you a place.

Where are you going?

Jogging.

You'll go jogging after a meal?

Exactly.

We take a stroll first, then we jog.

That's our daily training.

You won't get it.

Let's go, Coach.

We'll go jogging.

See you.

Then...

Stay safe!

-All right. -Come back early.

Yes.

Mr. Duan and Mrs. Duan.

I have to go now. Enjoy the meal.

Stay safe!

Okay.

Come.

Careful!

You don't like them?

My parents...

Not at all!

They care about you.

They

seem nice to me.

What?

What "what"?

I can't stare at you now?

Don't stare at me like that. I'm shy.

You are shy?

You were never this timid before.

And you never looked at me like that before.

When did you realize you liked me?

I don't know.

You don't know?

Do you remember the first time we met?

Yes, in Nanhu No. 3 High School.

I always think about that day.

Really?

When I was 18,

I didn't have a lot on my mind.

I only trained and studied every day.

During the day we met,

I was surprised

by how beautiful

you were.

You're so superficial.

No, I'm not.

It's because

that day when you were there, I won against Liu Shan.

I think you're my lucky charm.

But that day, you didn't pick me.

I was mad.

I thought it was preferential treatment.

That night, I couldn't sleep

so I wrote "I have to get into Nanhu University"

many times in my notebook.

Childish.

Well, you hurt the feelings

of an innocent 18-year-old boy.

Childish? Really?

You are short. What can I do?

If you call me short again, I'll get angry!

Sorry.

I won't say it again.

So if you want to know

when I began to like you,

I do not have an answer.

But whenever you're around me,

I want your attention.

You suspend your studies

for track and field.

Is this what you truly want to do?

Of course.

It's not because of me

or because you

want to prove someone wrong?

Did my mom say something to you?

No.

I promised her

that all decisions I make

will have your best interest at heart.

Don't worry.

I can't quit track and field at all.

Even more so with you by my side.

Chasing after my dream

with someone I like

is the best thing that ever happened to me.
