[Episode 21]

Here.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Thank you.

[Marriage Registration Office of Nancheng District Civil Affairs Bureau]

I can't send you home.

I can go back by myself.

I'm not a child.

I'll call you when I get off the plane.

Go now.

I'll wait for your call.

Okay.

Wait.

Here.

Congratulations.

Lu Chen.

Congratulations on getting married.

Congratulations on getting married.

You're taking a flight immediately after getting married?

Your wife didn't try to stop you?

She's sad,

but she won't stop me.

Lu Yanchen, Captain of the Third Brigade

of the SWAT Detachment of Tianwen City,

reporting for duty.

Lu Yanchen.

Welcome.

I have good news. Guess what it is.

I don't want to guess.

Tell me.

What's the secret mission?

Captain Lu is assisting at Gonghai for a month.

He's very near us.

Great!

Let's visit him this weekend.

No need to wait for the weekend.

The team there is newly established.

They're short of manpower.

I've assigned you

there

to work with him.

Good.

Captain Lu.

You’ve all met Captain Lu.

I don't have to introduce you again.

Captain Lu, here is the thing.

They've set up

a base station here.

Yesterday, they dug up many bombs like this

left behind by the war

at the construction site.

We've surveyed the area.

There are many bombs like this.

A civil explosives company like ours

should be able to handle this.

However,

the terrain here is complicated.

That's why

we've invited you to help us.

Let's go in and take a look.

Okay. This way, please.

Look.

Here.

Hello, Mr. Shen.

Captain Lu.

Look.

These...

These bombs

are all awaiting disposal.

Considering that

accumulating too many explosives

here

might be dangerous,

we should transport them away

once we reach a certain number of them.

There are so many bombs.

The climate here is unpredicatable.

We must install a lightning protection system nearby

as soon as possible.

Captain Lu.

You are truly a professional.

Don't worry.

I've made all the arrangements.

Let's take a look outside.

Okay.

These bombs

are all of different types.

There are different

cautionary measures

when handling each of them.

For example,

the fuze of this bomb is at the top.

There's a primer at the base of that bomb

for launching,

but it also has a fuze

at the top.

Moreover,

the anti-tank and anti-personnel mines

we saw just now

must all be handled carefully.

Yes.

That's why we asked

your team for help.

However,

the SWAT team here is newly established.

I'm the only experienced member

of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team.

There are so many bombs.

I'll go back

to discuss this with my commanding officer

and request additional manpower.

Okay.

Captain Lu,

the diagrams you provided us with

last time

were immensely helpful.

Now that we are collaborating again,

I must learn all I can from you.

Mr. Shen,

your opinions

are as valuable as mine.

Captain Lu, go check out

the accomodations.

Our company set it up.

We will be eating and living together

like colleagues.

Yes, Captain Lu.

We cleared a room for you

in the workers' dorm.

The living arrangements are not ideal.

I'm sorry.

Not at all.

I'll ask the team

to send the people and things here.

Sure.

Let me tell you a secret.

What secret?

I'm married.

It's legal.

We have a certificate.

When did this happen?

A couple of days ago.

I couldn't hold it in anymore.

I finally said it.

I haven't told anyone before.

It was like a secret affair.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

I'll buy you a big meal.

How about lunch today?

All you care about is eating.

Work is hard.

Only eating can relieve our worries.

How do you feel?

How do I feel?

I feel a sense of belonging,

the kind of contentment that comes

after everything has settled.

The feeling of home?

The feeling of home.

What are you looking at?

I want to see what's different

about a married woman.

What is it?

Nothing yet.

You are still so young and beautiful.

Captain Lu.

Are you calling your partner?

Yes.

I'm making use of the free time while we eat.

Say hello to your partner for me.

Okay.

Excuse me.

My husband is calling.

I'll take it outside.

Take care of her for a moment.

I didn't expect you

to be so whipped.

Just call him back later.

Yes.

You should let men

feel anxious.

His situation makes it troublesome for him to call.

Enjoy your meal. I'll be right back.

Her husband's job must be really special.

He doesn't even have time to make a call.

I heard her father's company

is a publicly listed company.

He's probably

from a similar background.

You're wrong.

Her husband is a SWAT officer.

He does explosive ordnance disposal.

There is no cell phone reception

at his latest assignment.

Every time he wants to make a call,

he has to drive out

at least 10 miles to get cellular signal.

Apparently, he often calls from mountains.

The signal gets blocked

every time a cloud passes by.

It's not easy to make a call.

He can't call from his place of work?

SWAT teams work at the front line

and there is always risk of danger.

It's beyond our imagination.

Did you climb a mountain today

or are you with the team?

The weather is nice today.

I'm on a mountain.

Is it hot over there?

It's getting hot these days.

Long time no see. Do you miss me?

Yes.

But there's nothing we can do.

We might only get to meet again

in the middle of summer.

Yes.

There have been some emergencies

at the new city.

The original timeframe of the mission

may be delayed.

It'll take a long time.

Hello?

What mountain are you on?

The signal is so bad.

How many days of annual leave do you still have?

All of them.

Do you want to go on a trip?

Where?

Gonghai.

You want to find your husband?

You don't want to see Captain Qin?

Why would I

want to see him?

You work so hard

looking after his child

all the time.

You must have so much to say to him.

You've overestimated me.

I'm always cold

towards strangers.

You two

are not strangers anymore.

You call each other every week.

You're very good friends.

Not really.

We only talk about education.

That's fine.

You've never been married,

but you're turning into a parenting expert.

Are you going or not?

I...

Let me hesitate for a few seconds.

One.

Two.

Three.

I'm going.

I'm going.

Happy?

That's right.

Come on.

I'm worried about you.

I have to take care of you.

Thank you.

It's great there.

You will definitely like it there.

You won't be disappointed.

Besides, Gonghai is very near Qining.

It's only half an hour by car.

Let's take time off and go on holiday there.

I'll think about it.

Don't.

It's settled.

Hello?

I'm lucky.

I suddenly got a signal.

I'll visit you next week.

It's dangerous if you run around now.

What danger?

I can't tell at all.

It's settled.

Hello?

♫I wish I could go back to my hometown♫

♫To be by her side again♫

♫To see her kindness and gentleness♫

♫To soothe my broken heart♫

♫How much I want to go back home♫

♫To be by her side again♫

♫To see her kindness and gentleness♫

♫To soothe my broken heart♫

How much weight are you intending to gain this time?

♫The year you set off into the twilight♫

We'll talk about it when we get back.

There's no weight I can't lose.

That's right.

♫You thought there was something there♫

You're the only person

whom I will concede

has as much willpower as I do.

♫Look at the strange gazes around you♫

What about a certain captain?

♫No one is by my side when I wake up in the morning♫

He's on a higher level than I am.

By the way,

this weekend,

Qin Mingyu has a day off.

♫The quiet rainy night reminds me of her♫

He'll head straight for Gonghai.

You’ll see him soon.

♫I still hear her asking me to stay♫

Luchen didn't tell him you're coming.

We'll give him a surprise.

Captain Lu.

The living conditions are good.

There's a bed to sleep on.

Your room

is a little dusty.

Wash it with some water.

What?

You asked me to come here

so I can spend my off day

cleaning for you?

I told you to clean up.

You came here just like that?

Why do you need a place

for the disposal of explosives

to be so clean?

My wife is coming today.

Sister-in-law is coming?

Not only that,

she's going to introduce you to a girlfriend.

What?

You don't want it?

It's too sudden.

Aren't you single?

I...

My current situation

is a bit special.

What's going on?

I don't want to meet new girls.

You want to be single forever?

That's not it.

Alright.

I won't introduce you a girlfriend.

Okay?

Just meet her as a friend.

Fine.

I'm not

good at talking.

When we see Sister-in-law,

if I say anything wrong,

-don't take offense. -Let's go.

Let's go.

[Baby]

Slow down.

You didn't get heavier.

Of course not.

Why did you ask me to change my route?

It was a long detour.

[Baby]

He drove by that day

and specially made the sign.

Hello, Sister-in-law.

Hello.

We meet again.

Yes, we meet again.

There's one more person.

Guess who I am.

Duan Rou?

There are only two words.

Did you need to think about it for so long?

Captain Qin.

No.

I- I thought about it.

At first, I wanted to call you Miss Duan Rou.

But then I remembered you asked me

not to call you "Miss," because it's too formal.

So I had to switch.

Why are you nervous?

Who's nervous?

I'm afraid I might say something wrong.

Welcome to Gonghai.

Thank you, Captain Qin.

You drive.

We'll take the same car.

You two take that one.

Okay.

We'll take the same car?

Calm down.

You got scared twice within a minute.

I didn't train you to be like this.

Who says I'm not calm?

Let's go.

Let's go first.

Okay.

Have you had enough?

No.

We haven't seen each other in over a month.

I want to look at you more.

I'll take you to the town.

Will you sleep with me tonight?

Yes.

Speak more gently.

Yes.

I miss you.

I'm driving.

Don't touch me.

No.

I want to touch you.

I haven't seen you in a month.

Captain Qin.

Yes, I'm here.

Where are we going now?

A town.

Police

work in secured areas.

It's not convenient.

I understand.

Can you play some music?

Sure.

Sure.

It's quite hot here.

It's okay.

It's colder than Beijing.

Are you usually busy with work?

I'm usually quite busy at work.

Are you thirsty?

A little.

Let me find it.

I know this car better than you.

Yes.

Why aren't you saying anything?

I keep talking.

and you keep saying "hum".

I thought

you didn't want to talk to me.

That's not it.

My throat hurts.

I can't really speak.

Are you sick?

Let me take you to the hospital.

It's a minor illness.

A minor illness will

become a serious disease if you leave it be.

You can't take it lightly.

I've brought medicine, Captain Qin.

I know what to do.

You really don't need to go to the hospital?

No.

I think...

if you don't feel well, just go.

Are you always

this fussy at work?

I...

I'm decisive.

Decisive?

I can't tell.

Really.

I'm always very firm

with the team.

You're taking it too seriously.

Did you

make a wrong turn?

Impossible.

There are no cars ahead.

It seems I've really made a wrong turn.

I got distracted

talking to you.

They're not there.

Maybe he's nervous

because he's with

the girl he likes,

so he's not keeping his eyes on the road.

He likes Duan Rou?

Did he tell you?

No.

But I've been working with him for a long time.

I can tell.

I think

Duan Rou likes him too.

Why don't we set them up?

I think we should

let them go with the flow.

Qin Mingyu is stationed at Qining.

If they get together,

it'll be a long-distance relationship.

And this job

basically has no vacation days.

You have to think it through.

But aren't you the same?

After my mission, I’ll go back to Tianwen.

He's different.

It's a problem.

Whatever will be will be.

If they really fall in love,

they will think about

these practical problems themselves.

He went the wrong way.

I wasn't paying attention.

It's your first time meeting.

Keep the number of times

you embarrass yourself under three.

Qin Mingyu.

Don't embarrass the SWAT team.

Who's embarrassing?

Duan Rou's throat was inflamed.

I got her water.

Be careful of the sun, you might get freckles.

It's okay. It's not far.

You're different. Pay attention to this.

Otherwise, you'll be depressed

when you get freckles.

You are quite considerate.

No way, Officer Qin.

You've just realized?

I've been taking care of your son for so long.

Have I made any mistakes?

No, no.

Absolutely not.

Where do you want to eat?

You have no recommendations?

I don't come here often.

This one

looks clean.

Captain Lu

looks like a normal person

when he's with his wife.

When he's alone,

he's a machine-like workaholic.

The second time.

Cut the crap.

You know this place well.

You order.

Did the doctor mention any dietary restrictions?

No.

I'll order then.

Come back soon.

Did you two not talk on the way here?

Did you drive here in silence?

-We talked. -We talked.

You're acting like strangers.

That's him.

I'm not being awkward.

I have a sore throat so I can't say much.

It's my fault.

I'm not good at holding a coversation,

especially with girls.

Weren't you married?

We were set up.

You were set up?

You must talk during blind dates, right?

I've never been on a blind date though.

We didn't say much.

Anyway, it was different from today.

During blind dates,

we talk about our jobs,

how much we earn,

and whether we own a house

and a car.

That's boring.

It is.

I have only

been on two blind dates.

The second time,

I thought we were suitable for each other.

We didn't get to know each other properly

before we got married.

You got married just like that?

That's rash.

At that time,

we both wanted to get married.

We thought we were suitable for each other,

so...

We were also from the same hometown.

So we didn't think too much

before we got married.

Weren't you afraid

you wouldn't get along after getting married

because you didn't have feelings for each other?

I'd never had a girlfriend before.

Later...

He's a simple guy.

He thought there wouldn't be any major problems

since their circumstances were compatible.

It was mostly because he lacked experience in relationships.

We win.

So even though he looks

like a single father,

Wait

he actually doesn't know how to date.

Can't you say something nice?

Who doesn't know how to date?

Am I wrong?

Should I say

you've had a lot of experience with relationships?

Who has been in a relationship?

You have two options.

Choose one.

Have you ordered?

Where do you think I just went?

They came all the way here.

We should order more.

I'll go order a couple more dishes.

Duan Rou.

Thank you for taking care of my son.

No need.

It'll be a waste if we can't finish it.

It's okay.

We can take them home if we can't finish.

It's not a waste.

Let him order.

He kept telling me about you,

abour how grateful he was towards you

and how he couldn't express it.

You wouldn't accept money,

and he doesn't know

how to choose gifts.

But trust me.

He is genuinely grateful towards you.

There's no need for a gift.

I'm taking care of his kid because I want to.

If I didn't want to,

no one can force me.

I have something to discuss with you.

Go ahead.

I rarely see my wife.

Let's sit at separate tables.

Separate tables?

Why?

You guys can talk about the kid.

We'll talk about our relationship.

Right.

They don't want to listen to us

talk about the kid.

They haven't seen each other for a long time.

Let's not disturb them.

That's right.

Let's sit separately.

Time is precious.

Don't disturb us.

Okay.

Let's sit separately.

Duan Rou is very nice.

She'd already gotten her marriage registered,

but before they had the wedding,

they got divorced over

premarital assets.

She wanted to sign a prenuptial agreement,

but the guy refused.

Later, she told me

she wanted to find

an independent boyfriend

so that she could focus on work.

She's on business trips

for over 200 days a year.

Also, she likes

well-adjusted men

who have their own pursuits.

She doesn't want someone who

constantly makes trouble

over property, children, or housework.

From this perspective,

Qin Mingyu is perfect.

Qin Mingyu

has been conquered by Duan Rou.

Thank you.

Stop looking at them.

Look at me.

Look at your wife.

By the way,

I have something to tell you.

These are my bank accounts.

The passwords,

ATM PINs,

and online banking passwords are all here.

The stocks and funds are here too.

I don't know if you know how to handle these.

You probably don't buy these,

right?

We have a safe at home.

It can be opened by password or fingerprint identification.

The password is your birthday.

My most valuable things are inside.

What are you doing?

Listen carefully.

There are medical risks

in giving birth,

for example, amniotic fluid embolism.

Resuscitation is difficult.

What if something happens?

You need to know where to put these.

You are not at home very often,

and you don't care about these things.

Don't look at me like that.

If something happens,

it'll be troublesome if you don't know.

Don't look at me like that.

I have another bank card

with a million RMB in it.

It's for my mother's retirement.

Keep it in mind,

but don't tell her.

You worry too much.

He who has no anxious thoughts for the future will find trouble right at hand.

Do you regret it?

You're only asking after I've married you.

What I regret the most

is not seeing you

that year you came back.

If I had seen you,

I would have pinned you to the bed.

I regretted this

for a few days.

I couldn't sleep.

How old were you then?

Would you have dared?

Yes.

If you dare, I do too.

Supplements for anemia.

Vitamins.

And this.

Since I got pregnant, I've had hypothyroidism.

I have to take this to counter it.

I asked the doctor if there are side effects.

She said

it might affect

the baby's intelligence.

There's a certain chance

the baby might inherit hypothyroidism.

It's a very small probability.

Don't worry. I'm taking medicine.

I hope it won't happen.

Lu Chen.

I miss you so much.

Do you miss me?

Empty words

are always the same.

Do you miss me?

Yes.

Where are you going?

I'm going to get some water

to soak your feet.

As expected,

you should marry someone handsome.

Handsome people have better tempers.

Even ugly men are arrogant.

He has a bad temper.

When we were in school,

he always pulled a long face.

He terrified people without saying anything.

Here.

Massage my feet.

Lu Chen.

Where is your dog

now?

It's long gone.

What about it?

Do you remember

the first time you wrote me a love letter?

Are you sure it was a love letter?

[2009]

Hai Jianfeng.

Chen.

What are you doing so early in the morning?

Walking the dog.

You're early.

Help me send a letter

to Gui Xiao.

To who?

Gui Xiao, from your class.

You know each other?

Give it to her for me.

Go.

Here.

What?

I saw Chen walking his dog

on my way to school in the morning.

He asked me to pass this to you.

[Letter of Apology]

Hello.

You're not angry anymore?

It's okay.

In our class,

people make a fuss

over a boy and a girl talking.

I'm used to it.

You don't have to apologize

for this.

It's not true anyway.

It's my fault for making people misunderstand.

Have you recovered?

How did you know I was sick?

When I saw you along the corridor,

you were holding back a sneeze.

It was hard on you.

You noticed?

They're flirting.

Captain Lu.

Why didn’t you close the door?

The open door isn't an invitation to peep.

Do I need to peep

when your door is open?

Do not look at what is contrary to propriety.

You came uninvited.

I brought you some fruits.

Did I ask you to?

Enough.

We're not the only ones living here.

Close the door.

You've washed your feet?

Get some sleep.

And then?

And then?

I'm off today.

You look happy.

I'm glad you're not leaving.

Sleep with me.

It's broad daylight.

Let's take a nap.

Okay.

Let's take a nap.

I've never lived here.

I hope you can make yourself comfortable.

Of course.

I often go on business trips.

I go everywhere.

I'm not picky with food or accommodations.

What else

do you need?

We don't need anything else here.

That's good.

Do you usually

have a lot to say

to Lu Yanchen?

We've known each other for a long time.

When guys get together,

we talk more.

I don't know

what to talk about with girls.

Are you tired?

No.

Will you show me around?

Sure.

Where do you want to go? I'll take you there.

Is Qining nearby?
