[Episode 25] [Gaining his future in-laws' approval]

Didn't you sleep at all last night?

It's none of your business.

Get up.

What are you going to do?

I don't have any work today, and my assistant isn't here.

I just need someone to kill time with.

I'll borrow you for a while.

Get up.

I won't lend myself. Stop bothering me. Hurry up and leave.

It's not up to you.

Get up. Let's go. Get up.

Yu Shishi, what on earth are you trying to do?

Get up. Behave.

Hurry up and get up. Get up. Let's go.

Get up. Go.

Hurry up. Hurry up.

Why did you bring me here?

To give you a facial.

A man's face also needs maintenance.

Especially yours,

which caught my eye.

I don't want you to be haggard for other women.

I won't do it.

You have to do it even if you don't want to.

Hurry up. Hurry up.

Are you sick, Yu Shishi?

It's all ready. Let's go.

Don't push. Don't push.

Please arrange a relaxing treatment for him and don't wake him up.

Okay, I'll get the aromatherapy.

Thank you.

[Amy]

I specially ran out

from the set.

My agent must be going crazy right now.

How can I be so good to you?

Even I am moved to tears.

But why are you

still so indifferent?

How did you get hurt?

You never learn

to protect yourself.

Get a good sleep.

When you wake up, forget the person

who made you sad, okay?

Not bad.

You've regained your handsomeness.

I've gone to great lengths for your face.

How are you going to thank me?

Why are you staring at me? Are you moved by me?

[Amy]

Go back to work. Don't come to see me again.

What do you mean?

You're kicking me out right after you woke up?

Our relationship is already over.

Aren't you afraid I'll tell reporters

about our fake relationship?

If you want to say it, just say it.

Are you angry? I was just joking.

Don't be angry.

From the first day I met you,

I've told you

I don't like jokes.

Your unilateral decision to end it

already disrupted my plan.

Not holding you accountable

is the greatest kindness I can give you.

Huo Yanzong, do you have a heart

or not?

I do, but not for you.

Even though you like Xu Lai so much,

she won't choose you.

How do you know she won't?

Don't waste your time on me.

What I do

has never had anything to do with you.

This is just seeking trouble for yourself,

and it won't have any result.

Neither will anything between you and me.

Are you done talking? If you're done, just leave.

Don't come and bother me again.

Can't you understand human language? Just leave.

Huo Yanzong, you jerk!

I hate you.

Hate me then.

Hating me is better than loving me.

[Mom]

[Mom]

Eat it while it's hot.

Letting you stay here back then

was to prevent you and your mom

from arguing more intensely.

But running away doesn't solve the problem, does it?

It's time to go home.

This isn't running away. It's a strategy.

Negotiations also need the right timing.

I plan to wait another couple of days

before my mom fully understands

my determination.

Only then will her attitude soften.

Besides, I want to take this opportunity to stay with you a little longer.

Don't rush me away.

No one is rushing you away.

But think about it.

My relationship with your mom

is already not very good.

If you and your mom

continue like this,

she'll think

I've abducted her daughter.

What will happen then?

My relationship with your mom will never be mended.

Isn't that right?

- But I… - Don't 'but' me. Think about it.

Think about my relationship with your mom.

Can you consider it for me?

Think about it. Think about it.

Fine, for our sake,

I'll do my best to persuade my mom.

Great job.

When you go in later,

you need to communicate well with your mom.

Whether I can enter your house or not

depends on your performance.

You're so eager to enter my house.

Winning over your parents

is the first step to make you

my legitimate family member.

Your mom will be my future mother-in-law,

I can't afford to offend her.

You're already calling her mother-in-law,

Jin Shichuan, I found since you started dating,

you've become bolder in your speech.

It's all thanks to you.

Alright, for our future, I promise to complete the task.

Shouldn't you give me some support then?

I'm off.

Good luck, and don't lose your temper.

- Control your emotions. - Don't worry.

Dad.

My girl is back.

Where's mom?

Our girl is back.

You still remember to come back.

Mom, I'm sorry.

I was too impulsive last time.

I shouldn't have talked back to you.

It's not about whether you talked back or not.

I'm telling you, Xu Lai,

when it comes to finding a boyfriend,

you must listen to me.

Your future partner

must have a stable and safe job,

and he must be family-oriented. Do you understand?

I've already decided on Jin Shichuan.

Whether you agree or not,

he's the only one for me.

What do you mean by "decided"?

How did you decide on him?

What makes you so devoted to him?

It's because he saved me ten years ago.

What happened ten years ago?

Explain yourself.

What happened?

Ten years ago, you two got divorced.

I went to Huining for relaxation.

But there was an earthquake.

I lay in the ruins for a day and night. Do you know that?

You didn't know.

If it weren't for Jin Shichuan, I would have died.

He saved me from the ruins.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Would it have made a difference if I had?

All you ever did was fight,

never considering my feelings.

Would it have made a difference if I had?

All you care about is the army. There's even no room for us in your heart.

I'm telling you, if you go on like this, we'll get a divorce.

There is no family without a country first. Isn't it right?

Don't preach to me.

I don't listen to that kind of reasoning.

All I want is a regular life.

Do you know that?

You're completely unreasonable.

I do everything alone.

You weren't even there

when I gave birth.

And you still have the gall to argue with me?

If you want a divorce, we get a divorce.

Why are you so unreasonable now?

I'm hurt.

What? I am unreasonable?

I want a regular life.

- I want to go home too. - I want a regular life.

I want someone to care about me and the child.

Do you know?

You're of no help.

Y-Y-You're still preaching to me.

How can you still have the gall?

Lai.

We've decided to get a divorce.

That's good.

I'll have two allowances in the future.

I think

you and she

shouldn't fight every time you meet.

She has grown up.

I think

we should listen to her choices

and her thoughts.

Right?

There's no mother who doesn't want her child to live a happy life.

I'm just afraid she'll make the wrong choice.

I need to protect her.

It was unexpected.

Jin Shichuan

saved our girl

ten years ago.

We should treat him better.

After all, he saved our girl twice.

Twice?

I secretly went

to the fire brigade once

to indirectly learn more

about Jin Shichuan.

Over there, I met

their commissar.

He told me

our girl was kidnapped some time ago,

and that it was Jin Shichuan

who risked his life

to save our girl without regard for his own safety.

She's been through so much.

Why didn't I know any about this?

I didn't tell you because I was afraid

you'd be worried and heartbroken.

Why didn't you tell me before?

I know

what you care about most is our girl, right?

But people feel differently.

What seems perfect to you

may not be what she wants.

What you see as a happy life

might be a shackle

to her.

We can't make choices for her

based on our own life experiences.

Don't you think?

I don't want her to go down the same path I did.

I still hold my original opinion.

She's grown up.

Why don't we let her choose her own path?

Besides,

what's wrong with the path you walked?

It isn't necessarily the wrong one.

After all these years,

I'm still with you, aren't I?

We haven't reached the end yet.

How do you know

I'm not the right choice for you?

It's all your fault.

All my fault, all my fault.

I know. I-I-I…

What do you know?

Look. You're getting fussy again.

Don't cry. Don't cry.

It's okay

to care about the child.

But you should give her freedom when she's grown up.

Aren't you back home?

I didn't complete my mission,

and I messed things up again.

I said a lot of harsh words to them.

But as soon as I finished, I immediately regretted it.

I knew my mom would be sad to hear such words.

Do you know?

When I was young, I hated it when my parents fought.

But after I grew up, I always end up doing what I hate most.

But I can't control it.

You say it.

Why do people always like

to take their bad emotions

out on their closest ones?

Perhaps it's intimacy

that makes people express negative emotions more freely.

I think you two both lack communication.

Sometimes it's better to make things clear,

so your mom can understand your true thoughts inside.

I hope so.

What's wrong? Something's bothering you?

Grandpa,

how did my mom marry my dad back then?

Why did you think of asking this?

I remember my grandma mentioning it when I was little.

She said she strongly opposed

my mom marrying my dad

because she thought my dad's job was too dangerous.

But I don't know what my dad did later

to change my grandma's mind.

Why are you bringing up your grandma?

Is it your own problem?

Xu Lai's family is against

Xu Lai and you in love, right?

Yes.

Is it her dad or her mom?

Her mom.

It's because of the job, too.

She thinks my job is dangerous

and doesn't want me to be with Xu Lai.

That's understandable.

Being a firefighter means risking your life every day.

It's not the best choice as a spouse.

Who

doesn't want their child

to live a stable life?

Don't you think?

Yes.

But I don't want to see

them having conflicts because of me.

I feel sorry for Xu Lai and her mom.

Silly boy, there's no need to apologize.

I just want to ask you.

Do you want to continue being with Xu Lai?

Yes, of course.

Then that's settled.

Do you know how your father

won your mother's hand

in marriage?

I don't know.

Wait and see, silly boy.

It seems that this time,

I have to step in

personally.

Hello.

Hello, who are you?

You are Xu Lai's mother, right?

- Yes. - I am Jin Shichuan's grandfather.

Thank you.

I heard you were a soldier too.

Yes.

I've been a soldier all my life.

Great, great.

Three generations of our family have been soldiers.

Me, my son

who is Shichuan's father,

and Shichuan,

a former armed police firefighter.

Of course, he's a firefighter now.

Since we are both from the military,

I think we can talk like soldiers.

Straightforward,

without beating around the bush.

Okay, okay.

I came here today

because I heard that both of you

have a problem with Shichuan and Xu Lai's relationship.

I want to ask.

Is it because my grandson is not good enough

or is it because his profession

as a firefighter

is too dangerous?

I respect the profession of firefighting,

but as Xu Lai's mother,

I do have concerns.

I divorced Xu Lai's father early,

so I've always felt that I owe my child something

and I care much about her marriage.

I understand. I really do.

I want to share with you

my experiences

and Shichuan's growth.

Have you ever regretted joining the military?

I regretted it.

After I divorced her mother,

I regretted it.

I have never regretted it.

I never have.

Even when my son

died

on a rescue mission,

I didn't regret it.

Because I know once you put on a military uniform,

you belong to the country,

and you must obey the country

and the people.

However,

when Shichuan decided to become

a firefighter,

I was strongly opposed to it

because I knew this profession

was too dangerous.

At that time, my concerns

were much greater than yours.

I was afraid,

afraid of losing my grandson.

He is the lifeblood of our family

and my only relative.

But Shichuan gradually

enlightened me and convinced me.

And slowly,

I changed my mind.

I thought

he was right.

It's precisely because of them

that we ordinary people can live in peace.

They deserve respect from society,

however,

they can't pursue love

like ordinary people,

be loved,

love someone,

or start a family.

I think it's unfair.

I came here today

to ask you

to give Shichuan a chance,

to give him fair treatment.

Let him have the right to love,

the right to be loved,

and the right to start a family.

I'm not good at talking.

I don't know if I made myself clear

or if I got straight to the point.

I came uninvited today,

and I've disturbed you.

I'll salute you

as an old soldier.

Thank you,

and sorry for the disturbance.

I'll see myself out.

One more.

Good shot, again.

Come on.

Hey.

Why didn't you tell me you were coming?

I have something important to tell you.

What's the important thing?

My dad called me just now.

He said your grandpa went to my house

and that my mom's attitude changed a lot.

As expected, sending my grandpa makes a difference.

You had your grandpa go?

I went to great lengths

to win your parents over.

How can you be so nice?

However,

my mom hasn't completely given in yet.

You need to behave well these next few days.

Strike while the iron is hot.

Don't worry. I will behave well.

- Do you know how to behave well? - I know.

Put me down, Jin Shichuan.

Is this good enough?

Her parents agreed.

Put me down.

Her parents agreed.

Her parents agreed.

Put me down first.

Her parents agreed.

Mrs. Jin, Mrs. Jin.

Mrs. Jin, Mrs. Jin.

I'm a little nervous.

Don't be nervous.

You can do it. Come on.

You go first.

Look at you. You're so scared.

Dad, Mom.

Our girl is back, and Jin is here.

Everything's secretly prepared. Just waiting for you.

You're already here. Come on in.

Come on in. Come on in.

Mr. Xu.

Look. He bought so many things for us.

You spent too much money.

Mr. Xu, are you going to change the light bulb?

Yes. I think

this room is a little dark, so I'm changing the light bulb.

Leave it to me.

Be careful.

Mom, let me help you.

Be careful not to get shocked.

It's okay. No problem.

Here, take this. Take it slow.

You got it secured in one go. Look.

Jin, change that light bulb later too.

Alright, Jin.

- Let's lift this sofa. - Okay.

I'll remove this blanket.

You lift this end.

- I'll remove this. - Remove it, right?

Jin, your muscles are really strong.

You must be in great physical condition.

Do you usually

work out a lot?

We have a lot of training.

- I'll lift this side. - Slowly.

Mom, you can ask Jin Shichuan to do this kind of work in the future.

He's amazing. He can do anything.

If an appliance or an electrical circuit

breaks down, you can go to him for help.

He's a firefighter. He knows much about it.

What I want is a son-in-law,

not a repairman.

But practicality is important in daily life.

He can take care of me, and you can be at ease, right?

Great job!

Dad.

Dad.

Dad, what's wrong?

I sprained my back.

Jin Shichuan, quickly carry my dad to the hospital.

- Quickly. - Can he carry me?

- Yes. - Okay, okay.

Then you carry me.

Come.

Okay, okay.

I'm going to the hospital.

- Slow down, slow down. - I can't walk.

- Slow down. - Be careful.

- Jin, be careful not to bump into anything. - Slower.

- Hold on tight. - Am I heavy?

I usually carry a load up ten floors

just like this.

- Really? - How's your back?

- My back is fine. - Xu Chengyun.

Stop pretending. You think I'm stupid, right?

Breaking the light bulb and playing the sympathy card

just to let him make a good impression on me, right?

Coming up with this bad trick.

You're really going to treat him like a laborer?

Get down quickly.

Stay and have dinner together.

Last time you didn't try my cooking.

Let's make up for it today.

It worked.

Thank you, Mrs. Xu.

Let's go.

- Is your back okay? - It's fine.

- Take it slow then. - Really, it's fine.

Girl, slow down.

Jin, start eating.

Come on. Have a taste.

Have a taste.

Let me tell you, you contributed a lot today.

After we finish dinner,

your mom and I will go home.

Your mom can't sleep well away from home.

Right?

Yes, I'll go back later.

You should move back soon.

Girls shouldn't live apart from their parents.

Otherwise, what would other people say?

You're not even married yet.

Keep your relationship with Jin low-key.

What are you waiting for?

Say thank you to your mom.

Your mom completely and thoroughly agreed.

I haven't completely agreed yet.

Alright, alright.

It depends on Jin's later performance.

If our girl is wronged,

I definitely won't agree.

Mr. and Mrs. Xu, I promise you

I will treat her well.

I won't let her suffer the slightest grievance.

Your supervision, assessment and review of me

will be welcome anytime.

Good.

Eat, eat.

Eat it.

- Are you going to bring these pajamas? - No.

- What about this one? - No.

Alright.

What are you thinking about?

I'm thinking about this house.

Look,

it's already empty.

After I leave,

it will become even more deserted.

Yeah. I live in the station and you won't be here.

This house will be empty.

But I've already developed feelings for this place.

Every time I felt helpless,

it was like my shelter from the storm.

It gave me a lot of security and warmth.

But it's probably because you were here too.

A home should look like a home.

This is the scene of a pileup I helped rescue.

This is you

from my first special report on firefighting.

This is when I took them

to train, and you came to see me.

Do you remember?

And this one. I took this photo

when you were training with Ping'an ​on the team.

♫ When the moods, they have no clue ♫

Unknowingly, we've been through so much together.

These are all the witnesses of our love.

I want to fill this house with these photos.

In the future, when we see these pictures,

we'll be reminded of our special moments.

This is what a home looks like.

♫ Why are the fish all in the sky? ♫

Wait.

- What's wrong? - These photos are all of you, without me.

How about I take a picture for you then?

♫ Like kiddos and their bikes ♫

Alright, help me take a photo with this wall.

This way, I can mark my territory in our relationship.

You in these pictures belong to me.

Ready to take the photo?

One, two.

♫ That's when I daydream about you ♫

♫ I don't want to be another guy ♫

Wait, wait, wait.

Let me adjust.

Ten seconds.

Ten seconds. Hurry up.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

People in love

are really different.

Their mood affects their complexion.

Morning, Zhou.

Zhou.

Miss Xu, you called me?

You seem absent-minded. What are you thinking about?

Today,

the list of interns turning permanent will come out.

I'm a bit worried.

Don't worry.

You've performed so well.

You'll definitely be kept.

Everyone, I'm back to work today.

I treat everyone to coffee.

Everyone gets a share.

What are you waiting for? Come on over.

Come.

Thank you, Xin.

Have coffee. Have coffee.

Thank you, Xin.

- You're welcome. - Thank you, Xin.

- Thank you, Xin. - Thank you, Xin.

- Thank you, Xin. - Thank you, Xin.

- Help yourself. - Thank you, Xin.

- Help yourself. - Thank you, Xin.

Thank you, Jiang Xin.

- You're welcome. - Thank you, Xin.

Do you know how many interviews Jiang Xin did

to get back here?

I heard the articles received a good response.

After all, she has rich experience,

and her abilities are still on point.

Xu Lai, here you are.

Thanks, but I don't drink coffee in the morning. It gives me stomachaches.

Actually, during my time off, I thought a lot.

It was my competitive nature that was the issue before.

I want to apologize to you.

Let's get along well from now on.

There's no need to apologize.

We're colleagues, right?

As long as you don't make things difficult for me,

I'll naturally get along well with you.

I have some work to do.

Zhou, have some coffee.

I have an important announcement to make.

The station has issued a document.

Next month,

I will transfer

from my current position

to the provincial station.

Thank you.

So after I leave,

the team leader position will be vacant.

I've made a comprehensive observation.

I think Xu Lai

has always been outstanding at work

and has a positive attitude,

so I recommended Xu Lai

as a candidate

for the team leader position.

Thank you. I'll continue to work hard and not let you down.

Keep it up.

Also,

the list of interns turning permanent

will be out soon.

It'll be announced in a couple of days.

Is there anything else?

If not, let's end the morning meeting now.

Get back to work.

Team leader,

I want to ask if Zhou is on the list of interns turning permanent.

I think he's a promising talent,

and he's hardworking. I want to keep him around.

Such things

are handled by the HR department.

Just leave it to them.

Remember that even though I recommended you

as a candidate for the team leader position,

the outcome

still depends on you.

For the time being,

don't try to stand out,

and just avoid making mistakes.

Alright?

Alright.

What are you doing? Have you been eating properly?

No, that's too childish.

I should be more mature.

Remember to eat regularly.

If you have a stomachache,

I'll be worried.

Sir, d-d-did you hear that?

I'd rather not have heard it.

You can even draw comics by yourself now.

You can't look at this.

It's not worth my time. I'm going to take a shower.

♫ Light in the flames ♫

♫ Time settles down ♫

♫ Guiding me slowly ♫
