(Is giving up)

(more courageous than persevering?)

(Shenzhen Xinyi Sports Training Base)

An,

what do you think?

You sure look different.

I do look a lot younger.

Yes, at least 10 years younger.

Yu, listen.

For this particular new hairstyle,

I especially created

this wavy style for you.

It's specially made for you,

do you know that?

Not bad.

I'm serious when I say this.

It's much better than the last one you did.

The last one was too heavy,

you know?

They all said I looked like a rock star.

That's a different hairstyle.

But this one is perfect for you.

All right, I get it.

An, stop beating around the bushes.

I know you all too well.

(Retirement Application) You're here for this, right?

(Retirement Application)

Who are you? Hey, what are you doing?

(Shenzhen Xinyi Sports Training Base)

Mr. An. Mr. An!

An?

You still remember my name.

Of course, I remember.

We both have

the same character "An" in our names.

So we can be considered distant relatives.

So what are you doing here?

Do you work here?

I'm working at Young Space.

We recently

have a collaboration

with the badminton gym.

That's why I'm here today.

I didn't see

Song Sanchuan here today.

So why are you here?

I came while he wasn't here.

That brat keeps talking

about quitting the team.

He's done it

a few times before.

But this time it seems real.

He even submitted his application to quit.

Can you believe it?

I took it back

and tore it in front of his coach.

He can always submit it again even if you tore it.

If you try to convince him to stay

will be like talking to a wall.

Mr. An,

you know him better.

Do you think

he's really

giving up this time?

About the issue

of him hanging on the tie score...

Yes, speaking.

Who's this?

Security Department?

Come in.

I'm his guardian.

So what happened?

He

was sneaking around

trying to steal money from a drawer

while the patient was away for a checkup.

See this 3,000 yuan?

He was caught red-handed.

I told you

I didn't steal that money.

Hey, don't make a fuss here.

You have no say

whether you stole the money or not.

After the patient finishes with the checkup,

we'll verify if you stole this money.

Sit down.

Just sit.

He stole money?

What are you doing?

I just want to take a look.

(Service Fee)

Buddy, listen.

I'm his dad.

I know him very well.

He would never steal money.

Do you see what's written on the envelope?

"Service fee."

See?

He earned this money himself

and he's giving it to the patient.

Who are you trying to fool here?

Why would I do that?

Fine, I'll tell you what.

He also sent money to the gynecology department

last month.

The female patient

even left her phone number with me.

If you don't believe me,

I'll give her a call

and let her talk to you herself.

Call her.

Can you tell me

what did you do with the money

you won from the marathon?

I finished them in an instant

on food, drinks, and entertainment.

I'll go and open up the shop first.

"Spendthrift Sprite."

Mr. An told me

that's the nickname

the patients gave you.

That sounds quite cute.

I'm sure you see me as a joke.

But I see you

in a different light today.

You know how to get back, right?

I won't send you, then.

An.

Thanks, Mr. An.

Are you

really concerned about Chuan's situation?

Are you just curious

or do you have other motives?

Actually, I went to their badminton team

to find a potential spokesperson

for Young Space.

I know

he's not the best player

on the team.

But I always have the feeling

that he has the potential.

What do you think?

Chuan's mom

is Tong Lu.

She

was a badminton athlete too.

She had great skills.

But she gave birth to Chuan

after she got pregnant

by mistake

while dating a male teammate.

After giving birth to Chuan,

she retired.

She may have retired.

But her passion did not.

So

she placed all her hopes and dreams

of winning championships on Chuan.

Yesterday,

that last point in the game

shouldn't have been a mistake.

The problem lies in your footwork.

I want you to practice

your footwork approaching the net

one thousand times today.

At that time,

I was the stringer for the team.

I always liked Tong Lu.

I also know

that Tong Lu was reluctant

to marry me.

When did she leave?

When Chuan was 15,

he had

a very important match.

It was tied at 18-18

and a deciding game.

Chuan turned around

and looked for his mom in the stands.

But she was already gone.

I guess it was at that moment

that the trauma started.

Did she leave for good?

She never came back?

Did you see Tong Lu?

No, I didn't.

(I'm sorry.)

(I chickened out.)

(I don't want the closest two people to me)

(to see me in my worst state.)

(Besides, you knew)

(I was never)

(a responsible woman.)

Is Tong Lu not here?

No.

(So I gave birth to the child)

(and got married as I wanted.)

(Now,)

(I want to use the time I have left)

(to visit the places I wanted to see.)

(An Cong,)

(if there's one thing)

(I regret the most,)

(it's that I delayed you from playing badminton)

(by making you string my racket)

(when you first joined the team.)

(I'll leave the house)

(to you and Chuan.)

(I feel sorry the most about this.)

(Please raise him for the next three years)

(until he reaches his adulthood at 18.)

(Don't tell him about my disease.)

(It'll affect his training and tournament.)

(I mean if I recover,)

(I'll come back to see you both.)

(If I don't,)

(let him take care of you)

(as a way for me to make it up to you.)

(During the first two years after she left,)

I told Chuan

that his mom went abroad

to be a coach.

Chuan was young

and naive. He believed it.

He thought

if he trained hard and achieved good results,

he would be able to see his mother again.

He worked so hard

that he gave all he has

to train so well.

He was doing so well

that we wondered

if he had overcome his grief.

But the truth is, he never let it go.

So An...

You see.

If you have the chance,

can you

talk to him

and try to persuade him?

Please do this.

(Song Sanchuan!)

(Ancong Wig Shop) Come down!

I'm buying wonton to compensate you.

If you don't come down,

I'll have them packed.

They won't taste good if they are clumped together.

Song San...

(Wang's Wonton)

Thank you, mister.

Please enjoy your meal.

We came to your team

to scout players

because of Alex's recommendation.

She's

a very famous scout player.

She said

your team had a hidden gem.

She was talking about you, right?

If you had told me this a couple of years ago,

I might have believed you.

But now, I can't beat anyone.

I learned

about your mom

from Mr. An.

He sure has a big mouth.

But what I don't understand

is why everything was fine with you before.

It was only the last two years when things went downhill.

Badminton

was never my dream.

It was Tong Lu's dream.

I remember

the biggest fight we had.

I said

even if I won

an Olympic gold medal one day,

it would be

my name on it,

not her name.

I said she still had nothing.

She was livid that day.

It was also the only time she ever hit me.

Over the years,

I would recall that fight.

I feel

that argument

was the trigger of her illness.

You knew when your mother was sick?

It was about two years ago.

I found a letter

under An Cong's bed.

That's how I figured out

why Tong Lu left back then.

An Cong never plans to tell me.

He really

thought

everyone was as foolish as he was.

I mean who would move across the street

from a cancer hospital for no reason?

Then Jin Yi came along.

To be honest,

I'm certain you won't believe it even if I told you.

Before he joined the team,

no one had ever beaten me

in 18-18.

No one was my match.

But after a few matches with him,

he figured out my weakness.

Then I'm sure

you've seen his tactics.

How could he win

with such an approach?

It's not his fault.

So now,

not only I'm losing to him,

but I'm also losing to others.

I lost more than winning.

So

I shouldn't be the hidden gem you said.

I'm just a losing bet.

I lost more than winning.

So I'm not the hidden gem.

(Wang's Wonton)

Where's Luo Le?

I asked my mom

to take her to stay at the hotel.

What's going on?

I couldn't get a clear idea about what you said over the phone.

Why is Chen Yiyang back here?

He suddenly wants to take Luo Le back

and custody.

What makes him think he could do that?

He hasn't shown up once in the past three years.

He said they developed

some kind of online application

these few years

and raised some money from investors.

He said

I don't have a stable job right now.

The child is going to elementary school soon

and she needs a better

and more stable life.

What is he doing now?

He said I should find a lawyer

and meet at the law firm

in three days.

It would be best if we can reach an agreement.

If not, we'll go through the legal process.

Okay.

Stay at my house for these few days.

Three days should be enough.

Okay, that's great.

Forward her WeChat to me.

I'll add her.

Thank you.

Bye.

Luo Nian,

Nate introduced a well-known lawyer

in the industry

who seems to have

a good success rate in divorce

and custody cases.

Really?

That's great.

Can you make me a cup of coffee?

Sure.

The Nate that you mentioned just now.

Is he the one from the company who's been giving signals to you?

He asked me out for dinner the other day

and suddenly mentioned

that he wants me to go to Singapore with him.

You're not really interested, are you?

How do you consider to be interested?

If you're interested,

that means this person

is at the top of your mind.

When his WeChat pops up on your screen,

you would grin from ear to ear

before you even read it.

When he calls,

your voice becomes soft and sweet.

When you go on a date with him,

you would spend three hours

getting ready

and dress up to the nines.

It's not too much to say

that one day apart feels like a very long time.

I mean shouldn't these change

after one person is over 30?

Here's your coffee.

Thank you.

Enjoy your coffee.

We're talking about love here.

It's the same no matter how old we are.

It's over then.

I never thought of

putting him at top of my mind.

Impulsive love

may be

wonderful.

But it's difficult

to come across love like that at this age.

Even though

I haven't known Nate

for long,

but

I feel comfortable and at ease around him.

The main thing

is he suddenly asked me

to go to Singapore with him.

It felt like

things are going pretty fast.

I'll put aside the rest.

Leaving home for love isn't that appealing.

I'm living proof.

Jeez.

Enough sighing already.

You distracted me

and I don't remember what I was reading.

(Chen Yiyang, the biological father of Luo Le,)

(had an ambiguous relationship with a colleague)

(during the lactation period of Luo Le's biological mother, Luo Nian.)

(This caused their relationship to break down)

(and separate.)

(In December of the same year,)

(they finalized their divorce.)

(Since then,)

(Luo Le has been raised solely by her mother, Luo Nian.)

(Child's Total Expenses 96,788 yuan) Part one

(Yinghong Law Firm) covers all the expenses

from Luo Le's birth

to the separation of the parents.

We have compiled

relevant bills

and photos as proof.

(Male party's total transfer 12,000 yuan) The focus of part two

is on the several transfer records

you gave her,

totaling 12,000 yuan.

This can be considered

as the child support you provided.

(Child support expenses borne by female party) The most important thing is

that Luo Nian,

as a freelancer,

sacrificed her job and lost of income

to raise the child alone.

Unfortunately, we don't have any material

to prove her loss of income.

But we estimate it

to be at least 100,000 yuan.

Additionally, Luo Nian's parents came

from out of town

to support her in taking care of the child.

We have no relevant materials

for their expenses for food, lodging,

and transportation.

So we estimated it to be 30,000 yuan.

After subtracting

the 12,000 yuan you provided,

the remaining total

is 555,300 yuan.

The presentation includes

detailed expense records, screenshots, and bills,

which you can take a look at.

(Receipts)

Of course,

I can also give you

some time

to do the calculations yourself.

It won't be necessary.

I get the point.

It's far from enough.

For you who have been absent

for nearly three years,

Luo Le

has simply grown taller,

become prettier,

and can talk and run.

The reason I prepared this presentation

is to tell you

that all the time,

hard work, and companionship

that Luo Nian has put in

to raise the child

cannot be measured by money.

And

you cannot use

the same amount of money

to buy

your presence as a father.

Luo Le.

Mommy!

(Ms. Luo, the mother of Luo Le,)

(first proposes)

(that the father should bear half)

(of the expenses incurred in raising the child so far,)

(and Chen Yiyang should pay)

(a monthly child support fee of 20,000 yuan.)

(This is the supplementary agreement)

(we have drafted.)

(You can take it back)

(and discuss it.)

(Shenzhen Xinyi Sports Training Base)

Not bad.

It's been a few days since we last met.

Your eye bags are bigger

than your eyes.

Why can't it be

that I have the attractive eye bags?

It feels like your eye bags

are about to burst out

pretty soon.

Is it that exaggerated?

I only stayed up for two nights

and I already look this bad?

It wasn't like this last year.

Anyway, I have to go now.

Can you

do me a favor?

If someone asks,

just say

I was at work all day.

Thanks.

Are you skipping work like that?

I haven't slept much these couple of days.

I was at the law firm this morning.

Why were you there?

Did you cause some kind of trouble?

No, I didn't.

Trouble came to me.

I'm leaving now.

Wait.

I'll drive you.

I can drive.

Also,

driving while you're tired

can be dangerous to society.

You're really something.

Don't you feel dizzy reading in a moving car?

I used to feel dizzy

and I would throw up at the end of the ride.

But I had no choice.

My boss has a busy schedule.

I even have to work in a moving car.

I'm used to it already.

Is working more tiring than playing badminton?

Listen.

It's hard to win

in this world.

But it's easy to get by.

Don't be sarcastic.

You're not even practicing at this time.

Instead, you're out here

being my driver, huh?

Tell me about it.

You see.

I just applied

for a professional driver's license.

I'll use you to practice driving.

Don't tell anyone on the team.

It's not allowed.

Why are you doing it then?

Are you really going to quit badminton?

Athletes will have to retire sooner or later.

Liang You'an,

have you ever had a feeling

where you actually want

to quit something,

but you just can't let go?

It's not that you're reluctant,

but you're afraid.

I used to focus on my racket,

footwork, physical training, and recovery.

Even when I slept at night,

I dreamed about analyzing my movements for improvement.

But if I were to say

that I'm going to stop practicing the next day,

I'm afraid that when I wake up the next day,

I won't know what to do.

Actually, I can feel

you think I'm hopeless

after you listened to my story, right?

But hear me out.

Sometimes giving up

is more courageous

than holding on.

(Is giving up really more courageous)

(than persevering?)

(Hello.)

I'm here for the physical examination of Young Space Group.

I've already made an appointment.

Okay, please wait for a moment.

We're together.

I specifically asked Mingyu for your schedule

and asked him to schedule our appointment together.

It's so hard to meet you.

(THE WINEBAR)

This Italian restaurant is pretty good.

It's perfect for us who are famished

after the physical examination.

It's really a coincidence

that this restaurant

has been on my to-go list

for a long time.

I was too busy to come before.

I didn't expect it to be so close to the hospital.

It looks like I did my homework well.

I'm glad you like it.

Did the things

I said last time

make you want to avoid me?

Not at all.

I told you

I've been really busy lately.

We did talk on the phone.

We had no problem conversing, right?

But meeting

in person is different.

Actually, I just wanted

to explain things to you in person today.

I don't want to scare you off

for being too eager.

Sure enough,

we can't rush these things.

Of course,

we still have

to start from dating.

When the time is right,

we can consider the next step.

I just think

it's better not to be in a long-distance relationship.

You can come to Singapore.

Why can't you

be the one

in Shenzhen?

I'm currently

a sales director in Singapore,

while you are only an assistant

to the CEO in Shenzhen.

And when you get there,

if you find a suitable job there,

you can give it shot.

If you can't find anything suitable

and would like to stay home,

I'm okay with that too.

Just like in recent years,

you wanted to be a career-oriented woman

and progress in your career.

Maybe after several years

and having children,

you might want to be a full-time housewife.

Of course,

what I mean

is with my ability,

I can give my partner

more freedom to choose.

Hello, Liang You'an speaking.

(Hello, Ms. Liang.)

(You just had a medical examination)

(at our center.)

(There are some issues with the ultrasound.)

(The doctor hopes you can come back)

(to discuss it in detail.)

Okay, I'll be right over.

(Ultrasound Room 7)

(OB/GYN Ultrasound Report Name: Liang You'an)

Is your menstrual cycle

usually irregular?

It's usually delayed by about a week.

If you look at this,

this is an endometriotic cyst.

We also call it

the chocolate cyst.

It can affect your ovulation.

Every menstrual cycle

will cause it

to grow.

It can also affect your ability

to conceive in the future.

Are you married?

Normally at your age, we would advise you to get pregnant

as soon as possible

if you're married.

If you're pregnant

and your menstrual cycle will stop for some time,

the cyst will slowly shrink.

But

if you're not married yet,

you may want to consider having surgery

to remove it.

(Don't worry about it.)

The doctor said

this is pretty common.

She also said

the best solution

is to have a baby.

This isn't an ultrasound.

It's an amulet urging you to settle down and have children.

Could this be a sign

from heaven?

Someone like Nate

suddenly came back from Singapore

who has great qualifications in all aspects.

Now, you have this small problem

where it can be solved by having children.

Liang You'an,

this year

may be your lucky year

to have a wedding.

Is that so?

I think you

should consider Nate carefully.

I happen to be moving to a new place.

Why don't you call him over

so I can thank him

for introducing a lawyer to me?

That's settled then.

Call Nate to come over this weekend.

I can help you check him out.

Okay.

(Linglong Mansion)

(Come on in.)

Something smells great.

Change your slippers.

Congratulations.

Congratulations on moving to a new place.

You didn't have to bring this gift.

Thank you.

Mommy An.

What's the matter?

I'll head inside first.

Not bad.

What's the matter, Le?

Close your eyes.

What are you up to?

What is it that you want to show me?

Le, can I open my eyes now?

Yes.

What is it?

You better don't blink.

The moment of witnessing a miracle has come.

Three, two, one.

Where did this small biscuit come from?

Mommy An, you can have the bigger one.

I'll have the small one.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Time to eat.

Here you go.

Be careful not to dirty your clothes.

Did you prepare all these?

Yes.

You'an said

you're a very skilled nutritionist.

I usually help people come up

with weight loss and muscle gain meals.

Try them and see if they're too bland.

All right. I usually like

to eat healthier food.

It's delicious.

I'm glad it's to your liking.

Perfect timing.

Today, we also want

to take this opportunity

to thank you

for introducing us

to such a reliable lawyer.

Nian's demands

were met.

So thank you.

My pleasure.

But speaking of Ms. Chen,

I think

it's necessary to thank her too.

Of course.

We're also considering

whether to send a small gift.

So I want to ask you

what's the most suitable gift.

You don't have to worry about that.

I'll pick it out.

After all, I have a closer relationship with her.

If I give it to her,

it's considered a friendship gift.

Please let me know

how much the gift cost then.

I can't let you spend the money.

Money is not a big deal.

But

when it comes to the favor of a friend, we still need to repay the favor.

Am I right, You'an?

Are you talking about me?

The supplier conference

is about to be held in Shanghai.

I have a few clients

with good qualifications

but less experience

who are very interested in working with Young Space.

I think you

could introduce them to Mr. Jie

or arrange

a similar private dinner

like the one we're having today.

I'll host

and invite everyone and Mr. Jie

for dinner.

What do you think?

Are you turning

our dinner today

into a private dinner?

Of course, not.

I was just using it

as an example.

Of course,

this is a private gathering.

I'm home now.

Thank you for sending me home.

Aren't you going to invite me in?

I had a bit too much to drink and want to have some water.

Sure.

Have a seat.

I'll go and get you some water.

An,

I really like you.

I'm sorry.

I'm feeling a bit tired.

I want to rest for a bit.

What's wrong?

We had a great night tonight.

Maybe I drank too much wine

and I'm feeling a bit sick.

I feel like throwing up too.

You go ahead.

Okay.

Sorry.

I really need to go to the bathroom.

Could you help me close the door

when you leave? Thanks.

We barely drank any of this wine.

Let's have a few more drinks together.

Luo Nian,

a person's physiological needs will die out

if it's not the right person.

Let alone getting married.

If you ask me, the cyst grows

because you lack a balanced diet.

What do you think I should do now?

Yeah.

When you reach a certain age,

even your body sends out alarms.

When someone proposes to you out of nowhere,

it may seem like a natural fit.

But you need to be cautious

as it could be dangerous or a trap.

But honestly,

he

openly calculated things

at the dinner table

made the situation a little embarrassing.

You know me.

It makes me feel uncomfortable

by mixing personal feelings

with work.

I didn't understand until today

why my good feelings toward Nate

could only

remain that way.

I thought finding

a partner

at this age

was like playing on a seesaw.

Finding someone of equal weight

was the prerequisite.

Otherwise,

one would fall to the ground

lying motionless,

while the other one would be suspended in mid-air

with no sense of security.

Are you and Nate considered

equal weight?

Which part do you find not suitable?

Yes, I admit

he becomes more proactive

since he came back.

But it's also made me feel like

there's more tension between us.

Both of us

have to constantly maintain

our weight

while occasionally measuring

each other.

In other words,

no one wants

to be completely vulnerable.

The worst thing

about playing on a seesaw

is one person being fooled into mid-air

while the other suddenly leaves

and lets you fall hard to the ground.

Where did you get

all these distorted ideas?

Don't you think

you're making dating

sound too complicated?

Okay.

Then tell me what's dating.

When you like someone,

you're infatuated.

Then

dopamine blinds you

as you follow it

into a dark room

called intimacy.

When the lights are turned on,

what you see in front of you is reality.

No one can tell for sure

if it's a surprise or a shock.

But at least

in Nate's dark room,

it's covered

with bills stacking

on each other.

I can't stand it.

I just lost interest.

No longer interested.

But I don't agree

with your theory

about the seesaw.

You just haven't met the right person.

If you do meet the right person,

you won't even think

about playing a game like the seesaw

where you can't even hold hands.

You'll want to throw yourself at each other.

The kind where you're constantly

clinging and rubbing against each other

for 24 hours a day.

You've got me

all worked up now.

I am right, am I not?

Okay, I've made up my mind.

Once I'm done with these two months of work,

I'll take my annual leave

and have my surgery done.

If anything goes wrong,

I'll leave my inheritance to Luo Le

in return for taking care of me in my old age and handling my funeral.

It's not too much to ask, right?

She'll do it even without any inheritance.

Then I have nothing to lose.

Let's drink to throw ourselves at our loved ones.

My neck feels sore.

Did he kiss your neck?

What nonsense is that?

Let me see where did he kiss.

I objected to it

and said no, okay?

But did he manage to kiss you?

What are you doing at my place?

I got your home address from the coach.

Why did you submit a letter to quit?

Why are you raising your voice at me?

It's not even approved yet.

I'd rather leave on my own terms

than have my contract expire and be terminated.

I never liked

playing badminton as a kid.

But my mom always dragged me

to practice every weekend.

It was until

I saw you play a match.

That was when I realized what a gap was

and high skills.

In that match,

everything about you, from your smooth movements

to your game tempo

and control

was impeccable.

I'm telling the truth.

Since then,

I've never complained

about training again.

That's great.

You're already better than me in that regard.

Chuan,

I understand

why you're quitting.

But can you

at least leave

with your head held high?

What do you think

is in this box?

- Good morning, Ms. Liang. - Good morning.

- Good morning guys. - Good morning.

Nate personally delivered it

and put it on your desk.

I knew something was up

when he asked about your medical examination that day.

He even wanted me to schedule it together.

I knew something is going on between you both.

Open it up to see if they're flowers.

Do you like it?

That night at your place,

I saw you using

this brand of aromatherapy.

Let's talk.

I don't understand

what you're trying to say

with this gift today.

I just thought

you would like it.

So I wanted to give it to you.

If that's the case,

why didn't you just send it to my house

or give it to me privately?

It must have been difficult

to bring such a large gift box into the office.

Okay, I admit.

I did want others to notice

something about our relationship.

Wait.

Do you want coffee?

Why are you suddenly being nice?

I'll drink it if you buy it for me.

Okay.

Then you can go ahead first.
