[Falling Before Fireworks]

[Episode 10]

Thank you.

When did you come?

Are you afraid that your dollars...

It's exactly the same.

Including the way you frown now.

Are these flowers from you?

Yes.

Are we in sync?

Sorry.

I misunderstood.

Aren't you going to ask

why I invited you here?

There is no need.

You don't have to ask.

We met here

and ended our relationship here.

It's impossible to forget it.

After so many years of separation,

I keep recalling this place.

I've spent the best time

here.

I have never regretted leaving.

Because only when I leave,

I know what I really want.

Jing Chen.

I'm back.

Are you still waiting for me?

Sorry.

I've already...

I'm not in a hurry to get the answer.

Seven years ago, I can wait.

So can I now.

There's no one who's more suitable for each other than us.

Nice lines,

but the most important part is missing.

Are you married?

Impossible.

How could you get married?

I met someone.

There's nothing impossible.

When you reach the right age,

meet the right person,

you get married and have children.

Jing Chen,

I didn't expect you to be so vulgar.

Forget what I said.

In life,

there are times when we need to use secular standards

to evaluate a person's success.

Your starting point is high.

You are the only Chinese designer

of that iconic architectural park in the south of the city.

You are also the youngest participant.

Everyone has high expectations of you.

But look at you now.

You are wasting your talent.

I am sorry,

teacher.

If you really feel sorry,

you should plan for the future.

When you graduate,

you insisted on going back to take care of grandpa.

I couldn't stop you.

But now that he passed away,

and the garden has been built.

It's time to come back.

My classmate's company focuses on

major landscape design.

They are short of hands.

If you're interested,

I can help you to get a job there.

I might let you down again.

When the Jing Garden was built,

I didn't know what to do.

But now,

I have a new goal.

I plan to turn the empty house in the Jing Garden

into an intangible cultural heritage exhibition hall.

We're looking for some experienced craftsmen.

I want to exhibit their works.

Maybe

I can't change anything in a short time.

But at least

I can let those tourists who come to Jing Garden

learn about these folk and traditional arts.

I support your idea of

building an exhibition hall.

But think about it.

Is it because your grandpa wanted you to do it?

Or is it because you really like mortise and tenon joint

and folk and traditional arts?

That's why you want to do this?

For me,

it doesn't matter

if I like it or not.

You...

Everything went too well for you.

That's why you said such thing.

But Jing Chen,

it's called responsibility and a burden, if you do it for others.

Only when you like it,

it becomes the motivation to work for life.

It's like

finding the one to get married.

You've been single

because

you don't like it, am I right?

Teacher,

I'm married.

Married?

With whom?

The girl from the Fashion College?

No.

Her name is Siqing.

She works in a bank.

A bank?

I didn't expect you to like that kind of girl.

Since you have a family,

you can't be willful.

You can't always live off a woman.

Well, for the job,

don't reject me in a rush.

Considering that I'm still worried about you

at this age.

Okay.

[Nancheng Commercial Bank]

[Customer Manager Office]

Hello, sir.

May I help you?

I...

Excuse me.

How can I get a loan?

Of course.

Please come in.

Let me get you a cup of tea.

[Customer Manager Office]

Have a seat.

I...

I don't want to sit.

Have a seat.

Leave me alone.

What's your name, sir?

What do you do for a living?

My name is Teng Liqun.

I usually do

wood carving at home.

Is it true that

people like us who don't have a proper job

can't get a loan?

[Cat's Eye Cinema]

[Jing Chen]

I'm going to watch a movie with Jian Yue.

It'll be over around 7 p.m.

Do you need me to pick you up?

Reporting?

I think

there is something going on

between you two, am I right?

What's the progress?

Do you need replenishment?

I've told you everything.

That's all.

You haven't...

That was a month ago.

Are you two in some kind of romance drama?

You look so happy lately.

I thought you've shaken

the sheets with him.

Which one of you can't do it?

I don't know.

Don't forget that

you two are in a cooling-off period for divorce.

Don't get too calm.

If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten.

If calculated according to the holidays,

it's just one month after the end of the cooling-off period.

Exactly.

We can't delay things like this.

Don't be shy.

If there's a problem, we'll fix it.

Let's watch a movie first.

What movie?

Even if you want to watch,

it's not a movie like this.

What you need now is to stimulate dopamine

to liberate your natural instincts.

[Yun Pian]

[Decline] [Accept]

Yun Pian.

Playing board games?

I'm with my best friend now.

Let me ask her.

Sure.

Sure.

Okay, we'll be right there.

Okay.

Let's go.

I have two more.

Five.

You lost.

Pick one.

Here.

Chen,

isn't this too dramatic?

Your wife is hanging out

with your first love.

And even happily

hanging out with boys together.

Chen,

do you know what this means?

It means you're doomed.

Is this man a colleague of your bank?

Of course not.

No.

That's not the point.

Yu.

What?

Do you want me to be a cannon fodder?

I'm not going.

I can't deal with neither senior nor mentor.

Let me ask Yun Pian.

This is the address of this shop.

She's so cool and charming.

If you could master one move,

you wouldn't be

playing Platonic love with your husband.

Well,

I haven't found the right time.

Chances

are created by people.

Tonight is the best time

to checkout what you have learned.

Did you enjoy the movie?

I can't stand it.

Siqing,

what's so good about marriage?

It's the bound.

I grew up alone.

What I envy is not being remembered,

but to have someone I can remember.

Just like

you know someone is waiting for you at home.

No matter how late you work and how tired you are,

there is someone you want to have dinner together.

So it's just a bound?

What about love?

You and your husband...

He and you...

Do you love each other?

She can't answer this question.

She and her man are in a flash marriage and divorce.

They got married first then fell in love.

They are just started to fall in love now

while they are in a cooling-off period for divorce.

Love is different from marriage.

The probability of being in love and be together

is like a lottery.

Cheers!

Chen.

Chen.

Chen.

Don't be angry.

I've checked that

this is just a board game store.

There's no explicit materials.

They are just playing

games like truth or dare,

kabe-don,

biscuits bite game,

and the circle of love.

You're obviously angry.

What's so hard to admit?

How can you be so mean at such a young age?

Don't lose your temper again.

Are you not convinced?

Go.

Hammer these nails into the wood.

When will you stop being angry?

When will you stop?

Don't be angry.

Take out all the nails

that you just hammered.

It's only temporary to be angry.

But when you lose your temper,

what you said and did

are like these nails.

It will be stuck in the heart.

It hurts others and yourself.

Even if this nail

is pulled out,

it still left marks.

It will never be erased.

What if we don't remove it?

We, people who build a structural house with mortise and tenon joints,

don't want to use nails unless necessary.

Because even if you don't pull it out,

sooner or later,

as time goes by, it will loosen

and cause the house, bang,

dismantled.

Chen,

if you can't control your emotions,

you can come here and hammer some nails.

Then think about the consequences.

Yu.

I haven't been angry for over ten years.

The consequences of not able to control emotions...

I tried

and I couldn't bear it.

I don't agree with Grandpa Jing.

It's impossible for a human to be emotionless.

It's possible.

That's how I used to be.

Can you always be like this?

Chen,

were you jealous just now?

Am I right?

You're still up?

We went to see a movie at first.

Later,

because that friend was dumped,

we went to a board game shop.

Well...

Yes.

Do you feel better?

Much better.

That's all?

Did you have fun?

Yes.

That's good. Remember to drink some loquat water.

Do you like this kind of table games?

Don't worry.

I know I am a married woman.

However,

our 30 days cooling-off period for divorce

is over.

Siqing,

don't try to provoke me.

I'm afraid I can't control my emotions.

Siqing,

I also have the desire to possess as a man.

It's even darker

than you think.

Don't look at me like that.

Or what?

Are you scared?

I'm sorry.

I warned you.

Don’t look at me like that.

Jing Chen,

can you

put on golden thread glasses

and repeat what you just said?

I can't reject people that have

low-pitched voice,

a faint smile on the face

with gentle scum type of golden thread glasses.

Oh my god.

This is so sexy.

Golden thread glasses. Golden thread glasses.

[Golden thread glasses]

Chen, I'm here for dinner.

You are not short-sighted. Why are you wearing glasses?

To prevent blue light.

What about you?

Your glasses are so tacky.

Why are you here again?

I'm worried about you.

Did my mentor quarrel with you for senior

last night?

She didn't mention it.

I forgot too.

How can you forget such an important thing?

What did you do last night?

Chen,

did you finally lose control of

your inner beast?

I can't reject people that have

low-pitched voice,

a faint smile on the face

with gentle scum type of golden thread glasses.

Tell me. What?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

It's annoying.

Your husband is a beast.

Come here!

Chen,

take care of yourself.

President.

Okay, I'll be right back.

[Jingyu Hall]

Yun Pian, you...

Senior.

About the studio you asked me to find...

I didn't find a suitable one here.

Let's go somewhere else.

Senior.
