=Episode 18= (Let's Break Up)

So, you are using me as a shield for that reporter?

Any problem with that?

Get out.

What?

Yu Shishi, what do you want?

Get out,

or I'll call the reporter

and tell her there's nothing going on between us.

What's wrong with you now, crazy lady?

Did you just realize that?

Too bad, too late. Are you going to get out of the car?

Fine.

Fine. I'll get out of the car.

Why did you lock the door?

Can't we talk about this?

Last time,

you left me on the side of the road.

Have a taste of your own medicine.

Crazy!

By the way, here's something else you should know.

You might be a charmer to others,

but to me,

you're nothing but a heartless scumbag.

Immature.

That's my car!

(How's your recovery?)

(How's your recovery?)

(Recent call log)

(Jin Shichuan)

(Sorry.)

(The number you have dialed)

(is not reachable.)

(Please try again later.)

(Sorry.)

Look.

Don't you guys think

she hasn't been herself lately?

- She seems distracted. - Yes she is.

Someone's old flame is in trouble.

She's about to lose her backer.

How can she be fine?

What's the big deal, Xu Lai?

You must've forgotten to brush your teeth this morning.

I'll help you.

What are you looking at?

Get back to work!

I still have the video evidence of you

tampering with my computer.

You better watch yourself.

Or else, I might just give that footage

to someone you wouldn't like.

Latest news.

The president of TC just clarified in an interview

that Yunkai had no knowledge of the production problem.

I saw the news.

Why is it different from the recording you gave me?

Did you plan this from the start?

You were going to burn bridges

after achieving your goal?

Ms. Jiang,

mind your tone.

I'm a businessman.

I have to weigh the pros and cons.

There's nothing more important to me

than Yunkai's investment.

Huo Yanzong is an old fox,

but he has his weakness too.

(Huaigang Medical University Hospital)

Why was your phone off the entire day?

Don't you know I'm worried about you?

I fell asleep. I didn't know.

Come on. Time to eat.

I brought your favorite beef soup

and Cantonese food.

Eat them while they're warm.

I'm not hungry.

That won't do.

You need to eat more.

(Mom) Hello, mom.

If I hadn't called you,

you would've forgotten

that you still have a mother.

I've been a little busy lately. What's up?

(You're so busy with work all the time.)

(When will you find a partner)

(to take care of you and get married?)

You don't need to worry about that.

How can I not?

Listen to me, Xu Lai.

(You need to find a partner with a good character)

(and a healthy body.)

(Someone you can settle down and have a peaceful life with.)

(Do you understand?)

(You must learn from my lesson.)

I'm busy. I'll talk to you later.

Here.

Eat.

What's wrong?

Bad mood?

Did my mom's words

upset you?

Don't take it to heart.

That's just how she is.

Your mom is right.

I'm not your best choice.

My occupation doesn't guarantee fixed hours

or holidays.

You're not my best choice, either.

I want warm meals when I get home.

But you're even busier than me with work.

How often can we meet

if we get together?

I want a traditional partner

who will take care of the house.

You need to find someone

who can give you a peaceful life.

You and I are not each other's best option.

What are you saying?

Are you saying this to upset me

because of what my mom said?

Warm meals?

I can make you anything you want to eat.

Right now,

you're the only one my life revolves around besides work.

I've always been committed to our relationship.

Why can't you do the same?

What's the matter with you?

We need time to think about this.

Think about what?

We were fine yesterday!

What has gotten into you?

I'm tired.

Leave me alone.

I'm so disappointed in you.

(What's the worst that can happen?)

(Disability.)

(Xu Lai,)

(I'm sorry.)

Alcohol. Nice.

Drown your sorrows.

What's this?

You brought your own food?

Come on.

You can't call me out in the middle of the night

just to drink.

Give me the gossip too.

Why are men always so calm?

Why do you guys have so many concerns?

Why can't you guys

have a little more faith in a relationship?

Even if there's a problem,

two people can figure it out together.

Got it.

You got into a fight with Jin Shichuan.

Why?

It's because of my mom.

She told me over the phone

not to date someone

in a high-risk profession.

Do you know what he said?

He told me to think about it.

He even asked me if I wanted to give up.

Ridiculous.

So that's why you got mad.

Shouldn't I?

He's thinking about giving up just because of a few words.

That means he doesn't really care about me at all.

He's in that state because of you.

How could he not care about you?

Why is he acting this way, then?

Don't bother guessing if you can't figure it out.

Love is just like liquor.

Some people find it bitter.

Others find it sweet.

If you ask me, I say don't bother tasting it.

Who cares what it tastes like?

Too much of either makes you drunk.

That's why I've only ever

gotten a sip.

Be it love or liquor,

too much of either will hurt you.

Forget it.

I'll forget all my problems

with this bottle of beer.

I'll make up with him tomorrow.

(Yunkai Group)

Huo,

wasn't that Mr. Wang from TC?

Why was he here?

(Share Acquisition Agreement)

Share acquisition.

Are you buying TC?

I've met most of TC's shareholders.

They've agreed to sell me their shares.

You're pushing Sun Lei to the brink.

Did you think

I was messing around?

Well, I don't have it in me to be concerned about this.

I've got a headache.

What did you do last night?

I spent the night drinking with Xu Lai.

I told her it was a bad idea to drink so much,

but she wouldn't listen.

She kept drinking.

I couldn't just stand idly by.

What's wrong with Xu Lai?

Why did she ask you out for drinks?

It's because of Jin Shichuan.

He told her they should reconsider their relationship out of the blue.

She was upset

and sought me out.

(Inpatient Department)

(Responsible Doctor: Zang Qiu)

Do you need help?

No.

Your leg...

You're not here to visit me, are you?

I want to talk.

Have a seat.

I heard

you've been cold to Xu Lai.

You made her sad.

I heard

that you got yourself a celebrity girlfriend.

Better spend more time on her

than get into other's business.

Yu Shishi and I are not dating.

That's all fake.

Xu Lai is still bothered by my feelings for her.

This is the only way I can make her stay.

I've never given up on Xu Lai.

Why tell me all of this?

That looks like a serious injury.

You can't take care of her

in your current state.

She's the one who has to take care of you.

Yet, you're still hurting her.

I urge you to step out of her life sooner.

I want you to know

that I care a lot about her.

I won't let anyone hurt her.

That's all.

Wait.

(Can you really)

(take care of her?)

Of course.

I'll back out.

You're right.

I can't take care of her

in this condition.

If you can do it,

promise me

you'll let her be herself and do what she wants.

I promise...

I'll never show up in her life again.

Are you serious?

Yes.

Take care.

Hello?

Help me look up a person's medical record.

Don't come again tomorrow.

Captain Jin!

A guy who never says what he means.

He has always been like this.

Delicious.

This chicken soup will fix you.

(I don't care why you're giving up. I'm going to see this through.)

Is he in?

Ms. Xu,

here to visit Captain Jin?

Yes. I brought him some chicken soup.

Why don't I give it to him for you?

He's resting.

I won't disturb him.

I'll leave after putting this down.

He specifically said

he did not want any visitors today,

especially you.

Sorry, Ms. Xu.

The hospital has to respect the patient's wishes.

I understand.

(I know you're still awake.)

(I worked hard

(to prepare this chicken soup for you.)

(I left it outside your ward.)

(Drink it while it's warm.)

(Also, I'll be waiting downstairs.)

I don't want to try to change your mind

because I know it's useless.

But as a woman,

I feel sorry for Xu Lai.

She doesn't know anything.

But you've taken her choice from her.

Don't you think that's cruel?

This is what's best for her.

No wonder you and Fang Huai were good friends.

You have the same vein of self-righteousness.

Do you know this, Jin Shichuan?

Women are not as weak

as you think they are.

We can go through thick and thin

with the ones we love.

But what about you guys?

You claim to do it for the sake of the ones you care about.

You push your loved ones away without giving them a chance.

Do you really think

this is the best way to protect us, right?

But this actually hurts us the most.

The means might not be right.

But I can be certain

that there's nothing Fang Huai wanted more

than for you to be happy.

You should drink the chicken soup while it's warm.

Otherwise, it'll grow cold

like a person's heart.

(Jin Shichuan,)

(I don't care)

(why you're giving up.)

(I'm going to see this through.)

(I've never been one)

(to give up so easily.)

(I won't let you give up on us so easily, either.)

(Drink my chicken soup)

(and continue to be my man.)

(Huaigang Medical University Hospital CT report)

Have you made your wish?

What did you wish for?

I wish for you to be happy forever.

Silly.

Today's your birthday.

Why did you make a wish for my sake?

You're the silly one.

If you're happy, I'm happy.

Hello?

(Zang Qiu.)

(You didn't reply to my message.)

(Oh, right.)

(Are you coming)

(to tonight's class reunion?)

(CT Report, Jin Shichuan) I think I'll pass...

Will Zeng Zihao be there too?

(Yes.)

(Why did you ask?)

Nothing. I need to talk to him about something.

What's the address?

(Nanyuechun Hotel.)

(Note it down.)

Okay.

All right.

(Inpatient Department)

Xu, do you think Captain Jin will like this?

I'm sure he will.

Here he comes.

Did you buy the flowers?

Yes.

Where is it?

Here.

Are you for real?

I thought we were buying flowers.

Xu said that this one lives longer.

Yes.

Green. Potted plant. It's nice.

I can't believe you.

Hurry up! Come on!

Captain Jin,

we're here to see you.

Captain Jin.

Captain Jin.

Captain Jin.

Everyone misses you.

We can't wait for you to rejoin us.

Are you better?

Everyone is hoping

for you to come back to the team soon.

Is your leg any better?

Captain Jin.

This is a gift from us.

Thanks.

Captain Jin,

without you, we're missing our backbone.

I expect I'll need a much longer time to recover.

While I'm away,

you all need to concentrate on work.

Do not fall behind on your training.

No slacking off.

Don't worry, Captain Jin.

We just finished our physical training yesterday.

Every one of us is strong and fit.

Dapeng, show him.

Okay.

One. Two. Three. Four.

You're the vice captain.

When I'm not around,

you're the backbone of the team.

You need to set an example.

Pay attention to the usual day-to-day management and work allocation.

Don't worry, Captain Jin.

I'll be sure to fill in your role well.

Liu Xu.

Present.

You're the squad leader.

Keep an eye on them

when you guys are out on duty.

Don't worry, Captain Jin. Leave it to me.

They're well-behaved.

Zhang Yang.

Present.

Shi Lei.

Tao.

Present.

Dapeng.

Cooperate with them.

Be more attentive to the maintenance

of the station.

- Yes. - Understood.

What's the matter with you today?

You sound like you're not coming back.

I'm fine.

I'm just worried about you guys.

Oh, right.

I saw Xu Lai in the lobby.

Xu Lai.

You're here to see Captain Jin, right?

Why aren't you upstairs?

He doesn't want to see me.

Did you guys get into a fight?

Not exactly.

We had a little misunderstanding.

Well, you should just clear things up.

It's not as if you can't.

Captain Jin isn't a petty man.

Don't worry.

I'll get him back.

Go get busy.

All right. I'm off.

Remember to tell him to finish that chicken soup

and put in a good word for me.

No problem.

Did you guys have another fight?

I'm tired.

I want to rest.

You guys should head back to the station.

Okay. Let's go, then.

We still have training this afternoon.

Right. We do have training.

Come on. Let's go.

All right.

We'll leave the plant here, Captain Jin.

Put it here.

Eat the fruits, Captain Jin.

All right.

We're leaving, Captain Jin.

We're off.

Bye, Captain Jin.

We're off.

Get well soon.

Take care.

Rest well.

We're off.

We're off, Captain Jin.

We're off, Captain Jin.

We're off, Captain Jin.

Don't you think

something's off with Captain Jin?

He must've had a fight with Xu Lai.

Can't you tell?

He wouldn't even let us ask about it.

Well, you take them back to the station first.

I have something to do.

Dr. Zang.

See you.

(Nanyuechun Hotel, third floor, private room)

Excuse me, where's Dr. Zang?

You're here to see Dr. Zang again?

Dr. Zang is on leave.

On leave?

Did something happen?

I think she said

she was going to attend a class reunion.

She even dressed up for it.

It's a real shame.

She looked gorgeous. You miss it.

Thanks.

(What reunion?)

(She even dressed up for it.)

(Don't tell me it's another blind date.)

Zihao gave me this when he proposed.

How many karats is that ring?

Zihao always gives me the very best.

I'll get you some tea.

Hurry up.

Let me see it.

It has been a long time.

Zang Qiu.

- Zang Qiu, you're here. - Come.

It has been a while, Zihao.

Indeed.

Zang Qiu hasn't changed at all.

She's as beautiful as ever.

As expected of the belle of the school.

How have you been?

I've been well.

We haven't seen each other in years.

I don't even have your contact.

Give me your number.

I have a favor to ask of you.

Sure.

Zang Qiu is the head surgeon

of our city hospital now.

I bet you guys didn't know this.

Zeng Zihao is working at his dad's hospital now.

His dad is one of the best

neurosurgeons nationwide.

How did you know that?

I've been transferred to their hospital.

I just remember something.

Zihao pursued Zang Qiu

when we were still in school.

Zang Qiu was his first love, right?

Really?

I think you're right.

First love?

The two of them never dated.

Didn't Zang Qiu marry a firefighter?

But I heard...

He died.

(Lu Fangqi)

Sorry.

Carry on.

I need to take this call.

Alas.

Nice timing, Lu Fangqi.

You sure know how to pick the time to call.

(Are you all right?)

I'm fine. I feel fine.

(Zang Qiu,)

(where are you?

(Why aren't you saying anything?)

(What's wrong?)

All right. That's enough.

I'm hanging up.

(Tell me...)

Did you do that on purpose?

You know what happened to Zang Qiu's husband.

Why did you still bring that up?

I couldn't stand her back in university.

She acted as if she is better than everyone.

She looks like she's bad luck.

That's true.

Her husband died soon after they got married, didn't he?

Belle of the school?

She's just a joke.

She's old.

No man would want her.

That's enough.

Let's not talk about her anymore.

Come on.

Zang Qiu.

Sorry about earlier.

I didn't know.

I misspoke.

By the way, I have a friend who just got divorced.

He's a little old, and he has a kid.

But I think he would be a good match for you.

Won't you consider him?

You're not young anymore.

You shouldn't put your expectations too high.

You're not in a position

to choose now.

It's them choosing you.

That's right.

It's better to have a man

than to be alone.

Why don't I introduce you two sometime?

Don't bother.

She has a boyfriend.

Make room, please.

Sorry, I'm late, everyone.

Why didn't you tell them

you have a boyfriend?

Boyfriend?

You look young.

You look like

you're in your early 20s at most.

Not at all, ma'am.

I'm 26 this year.

"Ma'am"?

Sorry.

You do look much older than Zang Qiu.

Terribly sorry.

26.

That's four years younger than Zang Qiu.

Nice going, Zang Qiu.

You found yourself a handsome young man.

How did you two meet?

I went to the hospital Zang Qiu is working at

and fell for her at first sight.

You don't know

how hard it was to get her to agree to be my girlfriend.

But she agreed at last.

A woman as capable as Dr. Zang

is always surrounded by countless suitors.

How envious.

That's the belle of the school for you.

When she was 20,

she was pursued by 20-year-old men.

At 30,

she still has 20-year-old men after her.

She has the charm.

Unlike me.

My husband is a greasy middle-aged man.

Zang Qiu is classy and unconventional.

It's trendy to date a younger man these days.

She's certainly a winner in life.

Not at all.

After all, I look like I'm bad luck.

No.

I'm old and widowed.

No.

No man would want me.

She's got character.

Isn't that right?

Qian? Yingying?

I don't care

what people say behind my back.

I just think

that it's so sad

we're still judging a woman

by her marital status in this day and age.

Yes.

I lost my husband.

To me,

that's regret and grief.

It's not something to be ashamed of.

So I will not find another man to prove myself.

Come.

I raise a toast to all of you.

To our "friendship" that is dead.

Bottoms up for me.

Cool.

She's got attitude.

I'll be leaving now.

Enjoy.

Why did they leave?

Dr. Zang.

Why did you leave so soon?

Who told you to come?

Why did you claim to be my boyfriend

without my permission?

No, I...

I could tell that something was wrong over the phone.

I was worried something had happened.

That's why I rushed over.

They were trying to humiliate you.

I just wanted to help.

I don't need your help.

I can settle my own problems.

Do you think I'll be moved

by you playing the hero?

How immature of you.

Yes.

I am immature.

Even so, I want to help you.

Lu Fangqi,

how many times do I need to say this?

I don't like you.

You're not my type.

It's impossible between us.

So what is your type?

Be specific. I can learn.

Fine.

I'll tell you.

He's tall.

He had broad shoulders.

He smiled like a kid.

He appeared mature on the outside,

but on the inside, he's gentle and romantic.

And he's intelligent.

When I was unhappy,

he'd do everything

to cheer me up.

He knew I like daisies.

So he brought a bouquet of daisies

for me whenever we met.

He was a fool.

Even...

Even when I poked a needle in the wrong spot,

he told me

it was all right.

It didn't hurt at all.

Every wish he made

on his birthday had nothing to do with himself.

He told me this.

"Do you know

what my birthday wish is?"

"My wish is for you

to be happy."

That man was Fang Huai, right?

I know it's hard to let go.

I know

that I might never surpass him.

But there's one way I'm different from him.

I will never leave you behind.

I will always be with you.

I will always protect you.

I will never give up on you easily.

(I won't give up.)

(I'll be waiting for you downstairs.)

I knew you would come.

You always come

whenever I'm scared.

Why are you still here?

Didn't I tell you I don't want to see you?

Don't you get it?

If that's true,

why are you here?

Go home.

Don't come again.

Wait.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

Time's up.

What you said about not wanting to see me

was yesterday.

It has expired.

Let's not fight anymore, okay?

Let's break up.
