[Forever and Ever]

[Episode 11]

[Shi Yi]

You sleeping in the living room

will make it look like we’re having a fight.

Grandma might have the wrong idea.

[Zhousheng Chen]

I could say that

I made you unhappy

and that I came out on my own.

Are you thirsty?

You are ruining my image by doing this.

No, I am not.

You said you made me angry.

Doesn’t that imply

I have a bad temper?

My grandma won’t think like that.

I’ll sleep on the left side and you on the right.

We’ll have our backs to each other.

Come on up here.

This is the place

you lived in when you were young?

So, at that time,

you and your grandma

had separate rooms?

Yes.

So, you started to live here

from a very early age.

Yeah.

It must’ve been very tiring for your grandma

to send you to and pick you up from school.

Zhousheng Chen,

apart from “yes, yeah”,

do you have any other answers?

I noticed this when we

started calling each other.

You would only answer what I ask.

If not, you would just keep quiet.

It’s just,

I don’t know

what to talk to you about.

Why did you get up?

Let’s have a chat.

How?

By sitting up and talking.

What would you normally talk about

when you are with your students?

Or,

when you were still in school

and was having a meal in the canteen.

You gotta talk when you are having a meal, right?

I don’t usually talk

when I am eating.

Except when

it was about work.

If you keep this up,

the conversation would die out.

I mean, I, um,

I am really not a big fan of talking while eating.

But I do enjoy listening to other people.

When I visited

other schools in the past,

I would always enjoy

mealtime.

That’s because the teachers

were all from

different fields.

Although mealtime was short,

I would always learn a lot.

I had a pretty boring life in the past.

I spent almost 15 to 16

hours

in the lab.

And only returned to the dorm at midnight.

When the sun was out, I was back in the lab again.

That’s how it was in the past.

I didn’t want to

bore you with

talks about my work.

But I’m not knowledgeable

in other fields.

We could just chit chat.

Chit chat?

Like what?

Like, what did you eat today?

Or, how was your day?

We could even talk about the weather.

You name it.

This way, we could have more conversations

and I’ll get to know you better.

Take another example.

The dish the aunty made today was a bit salty

and I had to drink a lot of water.

Yeah, it was a bit salty.

If the food is too salty,

it’s bad for your blood vessels.

I will remind her tomorrow.

Why is it bad?

If there is enough nitric oxide

inside a person’s body,

it will make the blood vessels

softer and more relaxed.

In other words, better blood flow.

If a person consumes too much salt,

it will hinder the release of nitric oxide

and affect the dilation of blood vessels.

Sure enough,

our conversations turn serious after a while.

I suppose it would be really hard

to gossip with you.

I’ll go close the window.

No, it’s okay.

It’s quite comfortable to sleep

with the sound of rain.

You might catch a cold this way.

I have the quilt and you, right?

Have a good night.

Don’t you need the covers?

I am not cold.

Shi Yi,

thank you.

What for?

I should be the one trying to

make you happy.

Yet, throughout the day,

you seemed to be the one putting in the effort.

I realize sometimes

you can be really honest.

Why aren’t you saying anything?

Zhousheng Chen.

Turn around.

I want to look at you.

Turn around?

Like this?

Turn to face me.

Like this?

Good night.

Good night.

Did I wake you up?

It’s okay, Grandma.

I am used to getting up early.

Grandma,

I want to ask you a favor.

What is it?

Tell me.

I will do whatever

I can.

I want to get the marriage certificate with Shi Yi.

Good, very good.

Very, very good.

[1 yuan]

Where did this come from?

Did you drop some money

while sleeping last night?

I found a coin on the bed.

[1 yuan]

You found money on the bed?

It dropped out

when I was making the bed.

How lucky.

Is your household registration permit

with your parents

or yourself?

With me.

I changed the permit when I bought the apartment.

Come over here.

Here.

Today,

I want to ask you something

in front of my grandma.

Sure.

I want to

have our marriage registered first

and after that, we can make up

the engagement and the wedding ceremony.

What do you think?

I have made an appointment.

You guys haven’t come to a conclusion yet?

You...you want us to be registered today?

Don’t you think it’s way too soon?

I mean.

We just cancelled our engagement ceremony.

I don’t know

how to explain it to my parents.

I’m going on a business trip soon

and I am afraid something might happen

during this time.

I mean like

how our engagement ceremony got cancelled.

Events like that.

Let me think about it.

I need to think about it.

♫ The poem I’ll continue to write ♫

♫ With your name in each line ♫

♫ If it started all over again ♫

♫ I’d still remember our love ♫

♫ It took ♫

♫ Hundreds of centuries ♫

♫ For our love to begin ♫

♫ There’s no way it’d end ♫

♫ Those familiar eyes ♫

♫ Lost the past when we shed tears ♫

♫ It won’t change ♫

♫ Our fate of encounter ♫

♫ The poem I’ll continue to write ♫

♫ With your name in each line ♫

♫ If it started all over again ♫

♫ I’d still remember our love ♫

♫ It took ♫

♫ Hundreds of centuries ♫

♫ For our love to begin ♫

♫ There’s no way it’d end ♫

Time is ticking away.

She is still thinking about it.

Lin.

You are being too impatient.

How old are you?

Are you afraid that after today,

my dear granddaughter-in-law

would run away?

I am not in a hurry, but he is.

Access card of my community,

along with the key to my house.

My household registration permit

is in the second drawer of the bedroom.

Okay.

See you in the afternoon.

♫ The day we met ♫

♫ Time froze ♫

♫ It’s your smiling eyes ♫

♫ That made the hustle and bustle of the world gone ♫

Am I going there dressed like this?

♫ Every moment ♫

I have already

asked them

♫ Drives away the weariness of the past ♫

to fetch your clothes.

♫ Love spreads ♫

♫ I’m glad you’re here ♫

♫ One more day with you ♫

♫ Love gets deeper ♫

♫ Nothing will change ♫

I got it.

♫ With the same warm sunny day ♫

[Household Register]

Let’s go.

♫ No matter how far, time will tell ♫

♫ It’s finally speech time for this trial ♫

♫ Love you, there is no doubt ♫

♫ I believe you can feel that ♫

They got their marriage certificate?

Yeah.

Doing this behind everyone’s back

is almost as bad as eloping.

I will go to the kitchen

and cook something good for them.

Newly-married couples deserve something tasty.

No need for you.

Sit down.

Are they not having food at home?

His grandmother is coming tonight.

This is a big deal.

That’s why the kitchen must handle this,

and it’s definitely going to be a grand feast.

Do you understand?

True.

Then I will go

tidy up their rooms.

Let me give you a hand, Grandma.

[Family of Book and Rituals]

Let’s go.

Sit down, sit down.

Take a seat, sit.

Who is that?

The old madam of the Qin family.

Her Lady’s birth mother.

Ever since

the eldest young master’s birth mother passed away,

the old madam never came here.

I quite like this old lady.

I’ve been to their house twice.

I’ll have you know.

Only this old lady

could control the two tyrants in there.

That’s good to know.

The natural world

is all about the food chain.

There is always a prey and a predator.

Only after balancing their relationship

will this family have peace.

Don’t you think so?

That’s a good point.

That makes sense.

Come, have some tea.

Mother, be careful.

It’s you who should be careful.

It’s not every day we get to

enjoy some sunshine.

What a great day.

My Lady.

The old madam is here.

She has entered the gate.

Really?

Immediately inform the kitchen

to prepare food.

If they don’t know

what my mother likes to eat,

call my uncle to ask.

Yes, My Lady.

Also, tidy up the guest room.

No.

Let her stay in my room.

Now go.

Go tell Second Uncle, his mother is here.

Mother.

I told you Shi Yi is a blessing.

With her joining our family,

even my grandma would come visit.

Let’s go.

This agreement

related to all my current wealth.

I am willing to contribute it

as our marital property.

After you’ve signed this,

I will have them

take it for notarization.

[Male: Zhousheng Chen Female: Shi Yi]

I will leave the rest

to you.

Mr. Mei asked me to congratulate you.

He also said

that there would surely be a grand celebration here.

Thus he won’t join to inconvenience you.

We’ll take our leave.

Thank you.

See you.

You scattered so many nuts and dried fruit.

How am I supposed to sleep?

You won’t be sleeping tonight.

Who would sleep on their wedding night?

Let me know if you need anything.

[Marriage Certificate]

Did grandma go to bed?

Yes.

Sorry for

getting you involved

in my family’s dispute

this time around.

But I promise I will never do

anything that is detrimental to you.

I know.

You know?

I mean.

I trust you.

You trust me

even if I can’t

tell you everything right now?

Since I choose to

be with you.

I will trust in you fully.

Thank you for trusting me.

Zhousheng Chen.

Zhousheng Chen.

What?

I can’t believe we are married.

May 11th.

From now on,

May 11th would be our

wedding anniversary.

I especially picked a date that sounded similar

to your name.

Making it easy for us to remember.

No wonder you insisted on registering today.

Almost like forcing me to get married.

I am glad that I got this reason,

or I really have no idea

how to explain this.

All right, I’m off to bed.

Emerald ring is the engagement ring,

a tradition of my family.

The yellow diamond ring is the wedding ring

that you can wear daily.

I hope you like them.

Happy Wedding Day.

I thought you said you were going to bed?

Yeah, I am quite sleepy.

Then why are you still standing here?

Happy wedding day.

This is what

others would say to congratulate us.

It’s not something you should say.

Here’s some tea.

This tea is made from the lotus seed core.

It helps with sleep.

But you shouldn’t drink too much of it.

And if you woke up at night,

feeling thirsty,

you can have some more to soothe your throat.

I am going to sleep then.

Good night

♫ Time can’t steal memories ♫

Good night.

♫ With all my strength ♫

♫ To find traces of you ♫

♫ Spring flowers and autumn moon ♫

♫ Hidden in my heart ♫

♫ Write words for you ♫

♫ Tenderly and carefully ♫

♫ Rewrite the end of the past ♫

♫ Let the story continue ♫

♫ You’re in my dreams ♫

♫ It’s getting clearer and clearer ♫

♫ When the heart beats, one, two, three, four ♫

♫ It starts to tremble ♫

Since the engagement is cancelled,

[PE teacher]

♫ The rhythm of love is composed for you ♫

you can take this time to go out on more dates.

There’s no need to rush into marriage.

♫ Go to the end of the world with you ♫

♫ And be your companion for a lifetime ♫

♫ When every second of time ♫

♫ Becomes precious ♫

♫ Because of you ♫

♫ I know what heartache feels like ♫

♫ Forever and ever is like a dream ♫

♫ I’ll still be with you ♫

Only a man like him

♫ Time can’t steal memories ♫

would congratulate his own wife

for getting married

and present

♫ With all my strength ♫

a ring this way.

♫ To find traces of you ♫

♫ Spring flowers and autumn moon ♫

♫ Hidden in my heart ♫

♫ Write words for you ♫

So many.

♫ Tenderly and carefully ♫

♫ Rewrite the end of the past ♫

♫ Let the story continue ♫

♫ You’re in my dreams ♫

♫ It’s getting clearer and clearer ♫

♫ When the heart beats, one, two, three, four ♫

♫ It starts to tremble ♫

♫ The rhythm of love is composed for you ♫

♫ Go to the end of the world with you ♫

♫ And be your companion for a lifetime ♫

♫ When every second of time ♫

♫ Becomes precious ♫

♫ Because of you ♫

♫ I know what heartache feels like ♫

♫ Forever and ever is like a dream ♫

♫ I’ll still be with you ♫

Careful of the door sill.

We’re here, we’re here.

Here we are.

How much did he drink?

About 680 ml.

Did you drink from a measuring cup?

700 ml in total.

I drank 20 ml.

So, he must have drunk 680 ml.

How can you let him drink that much?

Well, he was in a bad mood

and insisted I drink with him.

I can’t refuse.

So, what am I gonna do?

I had to drink with him.

Okay, go rest.

I’ll take care of him.

Okay.

Lawyer Mei,

you always bragged about your ability to drink.

How can you be so drunk after having a drink

with someone who can barely drink like Lin Fei?

You should love yourself more.

Wenxing.

You’re awake.

Where is this place?

The guest room.

The relatives all left

so there are empty rooms.

Is there anything to eat?

[May 12th, , Saturday 05:32]

Oh no, breakfast just started.

I need to find someone to help my brother out.

You...

I will ask someone to bring you breakfast

later on.

Are you not going in?

I’ll go in later.

After they finished eating.

It won’t be too late that way.

Uncle Lin, are you not going in?

I’ll stay here with you for a bit.

Chen.

Grandma.

Why are you here?

I brought our grandma here just to help you.

Mother.

Mother.

I thought you already had breakfast?

-Grandma. -Grandma.

Wenxing got up late.

She was afraid you might blame her,

that’s why she brought me along.

Wan.

You have been

too hard on the kids.

Sit down, sit down.

Grandma, have a seat.

Well.

The kids in our family.

Today is totally worth it.

The second son got married first.

The eldest, also has a wife.

How time

flies.

Grandma, you’re mistaken.

Chen has not married yet.

Well,

according to tradition,

he is not yet engaged,

but he’s almost there.

Isn’t it?

Yes.

Me and Shi Yi.

We already obtained our marriage certificate.

Congratulation, Chen.

That mountain villa.

They haven’t been there yet, right?

No, they haven’t.

Let’s burn some incense there.

So that the whole family could get some luck.

Bring your two daughters-in-law.

And also have a vegan meal

in the villa.

Okay.

Let’s eat, the food’s getting cold.

Yeah, yeah.

Dig in, dig in.

Let’s eat.

Let’s eat.

[Family of Book and Rituals]

Shi Yi,

my mother wants you

to sit in the same car with us.

Go ahead.

Please get in, Miss Shi Yi.

People need time

to solve their differences.

Let them go.

After some disputes,

maybe in the future,

their relationship

will be stronger than ours.

Grandma,

thanks for coming by.

No need to thank me.

Lian Sui told me

you were not staying in the same room with Shi Yi

last night, huh?

Did the two of you fight?

The two of you were fine at my place.

What happened when you came back here?

Our relationship is great.

We’re fine, Grandma.

Let’s get in.

Shi Yi,

I haven’t had the chance to tell you

that you look pretty.

Thank you.

Ren.

You can’t judge people based on how they look.

I have told you.

Don’t indulge yourself in

beautiful things and other pleasures.

They can turn into things that rot your soul.

Don’t you remember?

I do.

Lust and pleasure

will distort one’s mind.

And we should never get addicted.

But Shi Yi being good-looking

is a hard fact.

Giving praise to something beautiful

and appreciating it

is also

something you taught me.

I won’t recognize

your marriage.

You should seriously think about

whether you want to insist on

staying with my son.

Here we are.

What did you two talk about?

Nothing much.

I don’t think it’s anything significant.

Let’s go.
