[Episode 27: I will accompany you to rebuild your world]

Lu Fangqi, Lu Fangqi, what's wrong with you?

Wake up, Lu Fangqi!

Don't scare me.

Lu Fangqi, wake up!

You said you didn't care about me.

I thought you wouldn't come.

Where's the wound? Weren't you injured?

Here.

I cut my hand while chopping vegetables.

Look, I made all of this for you.

There's still one soup left. I was worried it would get cold, and you'd get a stomachache

if you drank it, so I kept it warm on low heat.

This dish and these ones are all Hunan cuisine.

If you like them, I'll cook them for you forever.

No need, there won't be a future.

Zang Qiu, what do you mean?

Do you know what I hate the most?

Making jokes about their lives.

Especially on a day like today.

Today is…

I'm sorry. I will never make jokes

about this kind of thing again.

I… I just wanted to find a reason

to ask you to come over.

To see if I really matter to you.

If you matter to me…

That's why I said you're childish.

Don't follow me anymore.

Zang, Zang…

I didn't expect she

to be so cold-hearted.

Since she left,

I packed them up.

[Group A]

Don't be sad.

You've done so much, but she's still not moved.

It proves that you two have no fate.

You like doctors, don't you?

I have a cousin who is studying in a medical school.

She has a good personality and is good-looking. I can introduce her to you.

I don't like doctors.

I only like Zang Qiu.

Bro, we still have to eat.

Right? I've brought the food back for you.

I don't eat. No. I can't have them.

This is the work plan for tomorrow.

What's wrong with him?

He's lost his soul.

Whose food is this? I'll have a few bites. I'm starving.

What are you doing?

Lu Fangqi, I just ate a few bites of your food.

Is it necessary to be like this? You're protecting it so tightly.

This is not ordinary food. This is my heart.

If you eat my heart, my heart will break.

Wait, Lu Fangqi.

Are you crazy about wanting to be in love?

If your brain isn't good, go and have it checked.

What's wrong with him?

Lu Fangqi learned to cook for Zang Qiu.

He wanted to give her a surprise.

So he lied that he was injured.

But when she came,

not only was she not moved,

she also scolded Lu Fangqi.

When did this happen?

Today.

This evening.

No wonder Zang Qiu is sad.

Why?

Today is Fang Huai's death anniversary.

Check the training plan for tomorrow.

Who is Fang Huai?

[Xu Lai]

I've made up my mind. I have to face what I have to face eventually.

I plan to return to work tomorrow.

Report.

Come in.

Sir.

Why are you up in the middle of the night? What are you doing here?

I can't fall asleep, you know?

I'm already so bothered

by Dr. Zang's matter.

And the leader keeps nagging in my ear.

Sir, can you chat with me for a while?

No.

I always accompany you when you want to chat with someone.

Now I'm heartbroken and need some comfort,

so can you chat with me for a while?

Or let me stay in the room for a while.

Just for a while.

Do you think Zang Qiu

might really not want to talk to me anymore?

I don't know.

If even you don't know, doesn't it mean it's really over?

Sir,

aren't you close with Zang Qiu?

Can you help me? Say something for me.

Sir.

Sir.

Say something for me.

I don't know if Zang Qiu will forgive you,

but if she is

important to you,

you can't give up.

Everyone needs care.

You have to remember.

Although she doesn't say it,

it doesn't mean she doesn't need care.

Yeah. She doesn't say it,

but that doesn't mean she doesn't need it.

Sir, after hearing what you said,

I suddenly feel alive again.

I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight.

I'll leave now.

Are you really sure you want to go to work now?

Why not rest a few more days?

Resting will only make me think more.

But--

Don't worry.

Go ahead.

Be careful.

Xu Lai.

I heard that your kindness wasn't appreciated by Mrs. Zheng this time, huh?

Have you seen the comments about you online?

I don't have the mood to argue with you now.

Do you know what your biggest weakness is?

You're too naive and idealistic.

You don't understand human nature at all.

But human nature is the most fragile thing

in the world.

You've always been curious about what your manuscript

was going on, right?

You didn't expect it, right?

How a little temptation

can let someone completely betray you?

Zhou.

Xu Lai.

Why did you do this?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I know you sent the manuscript.

Xu Lai, I've been with you for so long.

And I've always been diligent at work.

But my name was never on the list for promotion.

I finally got here.

I can't lose. I have to stay.

Zhou, do you know that what you did

almost killed someone?

Don't you feel guilty at all?

Wang Yi got what he deserved.

He illegally extended his building and framed Mrs. Zheng, right?

And besides,

it was you who insisted on investigating the truth.

Everyone could have been resettled as usual.

Wang Yi wouldn't have jumped off the building,

his wife wouldn't have given birth prematurely,

and Mrs. Zheng wouldn't have been abandoned by her son.

Even without this report,

can you say that none of this would have happened?

Is this the result of your pursuit of truth?

After your report was published,

my son couldn't

live a normal life outside.

Now he hates me to death

and has completely sever

our mother and son relationship.

Where are you? I'll come find you.

[Resignation Letter]

I came to resign.

Resign?

Have you thought it through?

Your report

and the objective facts

verified by the relevant departments

were not much different.

The station doesn't intend to punish you.

Actually, all along,

I've always believed

a journalist's duty is to pursue the truth.

But my report hurt everyone this time.

And made me question what a journalist should really do.

Without faith,

I don't know how to face my future work.

For now, I'll keep this work card

and resignation letter here.

Go home and rest for a while.

Come back when you've thought it through.

At this moment, I'm lost.

I don't know where I should go.

All along, the faith I've held on to.

The career I've loved.

Suddenly collapsed.

And shattered into pieces.

The light in my heart

seems to have gone out in that instant.

♫ I swallowed lies that I believed as truth ♫

♫ I chose to trust in you ♫

Hello, sir, where are you going?

Is there anyone inside?

We're closed now.

There's no one in the whole building.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

[Jin] ♫ I thought we had it all ♫

♫ Why did you have to go and forget about me? ♫

- Hello? - Hello, Auntie. It's Shichuan.

Did Xu Lai come home?

No. Do you need anything?

Nothing. She might be late. She'll contact me later.

Don't worry.

[Intercity Bus - Huaigang to Huining] ♫ You promised you'd never forget me ♫

♫ I thought we had it all ♫

♫ Why did you have to go and forget about me? ♫

I ran away without telling anyone,

including Jin Shichuan.

I don't know how to face him.

I thought I had become a shining person.

But I deprived others of their light and hope.

Now I feel like I am

in endless darkness, unable to find an exit.

I want to go back to

where I first found the light

to find the lost meaning.

♫ I still want you back ♫

Xu Lai, where have you gone?

I'm really worried about you.

One sentence will do.

Whatever you reply.

♫ Why did you have to go and forget about me? ♫

♫ Forget about me ♫

♫ You promised you'd always be there ♫

♫ Promised we'd never part ♫

♫ And forget about me, forget about me ♫

♫ And so will I ♫

♫ I thought we had it all ♫

♫ Why did you have to go and forget about me? ♫

♫ Forget about me ♫

[Lai Fu Hotel] ♫ You promised you'd always be there ♫

♫ Promised we'd never part ♫

Need a room? Need a room?

[2012, Huining] Cheap hourly rooms.

With hot water.

Everything's available. Just over there.

Young lady, need a room?

[Lai Fu Hotel]

-How much? -One hundred.

Since you're a student, I'll charge you eighty.

You're not running away from home, are you?

I'm just here for a trip. What could be the problem?

Don't worry.

Okay, then.

Let's go. It's right there.

Where are you, sir?

Sorry, the number you dialed--

How's it going? Did you find Xu Lai?

I've searched everywhere I can.

The TV station, her home, and her parents' place.

No one knows where she went.

Why not wait a bit more? You know Xu Lai.

No one can stop her if she wants to leave.

I can't wait. I have to find her.

I can't let anything happen to her.

Wait.

Hello?

What? You found Xu Lai?

Where is she?

Found Xu Lai's ticket to Huining.

Huining?

But there's no specific location.

There are a lot of hotels in Huining though.

Then I'll search one by one.

I must find her.

What do we do if something happens?

You're trying to kill me with this. Because of your report,

now the whole world

thinks I'm a murderer.

You published the report…

How do you expect my child and wife to live?

Sever our mother and son relationship.

I'd rather be dead.

Is this the result of your pursuit of truth?

If it weren't for that photo,

I wouldn't have thought to come here to find you.

How long are you going to hide from me?

I'm sorry.

I ran away.

I don't want to see anyone right now.

It's not your fault.

Please don't punish yourself like this, okay?

But the result now is that it's my fault.

Because of my report,

someone hurt.

Whether I'm right or wrong,

others are hurt because of me.

That's a fact.

I don't know what the meaning of my pursuit is now.

Stop thinking.

If you don't know now,

don't think about it.

You'll find it someday.

I'll always be here.

I took a leave to accompany you and clear your mind.

Look, isn't this place different from ten years ago?

Ten years ago,

that time was my hardest

and also my warmest

period.

It was you and Windhound who accompanied me through it.

But what if this time,

I can't recover again?

Then I'll always be here. I'll always be with you.

Look, look!

This place used to be ruins,

but now it's full of hope.

If a city can be rebuilt,

why can't you? Right?

I'll be with you, rebuilding your world.

Take it slow. Don't rush.

Don't be afraid.

Leave now!

Over here, quick!

Faster!

Run to open spaces.

Get out of the way.

Run out of here, quickly.

Hurry up!

Watch out for things falling from above.

Go that way.

Stop running.

Be careful. Run now!

Quick!

Run outside.

Go!

Run now!

Leave here. Go that way.

Quick! Run!

Don't worry about the luggage. Just run!

Quick!

Yes, I'm in Huining.

I've contacted the local fire station.

I'll join the rescue team.

Okay, I'm heading to the command center now. Copy that.

Ten years ago, there was an earthquake here.

Many buildings

have been reinforced and thickened.

So the damage

won't be too severe. Don't worry.

But in other counties,

the situation isn't too optimistic.

I've received a notice

to cooperate with the local fire station for rescue operations.

Lu Fangqi is leading a team to here.

I'll call someone here

to take you back to Huaigang.

I'm not going back.

I want to be with you.

You can't be in danger with me.

I'm a journal…

I know you're a journalist.

You're an excellent journalist.

But we have to obey the leadership's arrangements, right?

You also want me to focus on saving more people,

don't you?

Don't worry. I'll come find you soon, okay?

Listen.

I'm leaving.

You must be safe.

For your sake, I'll protect myself.

I won't let you worry.

Behave. Don't run around.

I'll send someone to pick you up, okay?

Listen. Come on.

Attention!

Right-dress!

Eyes-front!

At ease! Attention!

Report to the instructor.

The team is assembled.

Please give your instructions.

Fall in!

Yes!

Comrades,

Huining just experienced a 7.8 magnitude major earthquake.

The situation is urgent.

The squad ordered

the heavy earthquake rescue team

to assemble and head to the disaster area.

Jin Shichuan is waiting for you there. Go and meet him.

This mission is of great importance.

You must give it your all.

Does everyone have confidence?

Yes!

Good. Pack your bags quickly.

Bring your rescue dogs.

- Be ready to set out at any time. - Yes!

[Huaigang Medical University Hospital]

What are you doing? Why are you dressed like this?

Our earthquake rescue team

is going to Huining to support the disaster relief.

I came to get medical supplies.

So I took the time to come and tell you.

You could have just called.

Why did you come here in person?

Because I know

you hate someone leaving without a word.

I wanted to report to you, so you won't worry.

Who's worried about you?

I don't have much time. I have to gather at the station.

I… I promise you,

for your sake, I'll come back safely.

I won't leave you alone.

Here, this is for you.

Wait until I leave to read it, okay? Wait until I leave.

[China Fire and Rescue]

These are your bad habits.

You haven't noticed them, right?

When I'm not around,

nobody will bring you food

or remind you to eat on time.

Follow the notebook,

pay attention to your daily routine.

Rest well and eat well.

Don't make do with.

Promise me to take care of yourself.

Just take it doing it for me.

Don't forget there's someone caring for you more than you.

I won't leave you alone.

Lu Fangqi! Lu Fangqi!

Lu Fangqi! Lu Fangqi!

- Dr. Zang! - Lu Fangqi!

I have so much to tell you.

Promise me you'll come back safely. Promise me!

Okay, Dr. Zang, stop chasing me.

- Don't let anything happen to you! - You should go back!

- I'll definitely come back safely! - I'll be waiting for your return!

Hurry back!

Right-dress!

Eyes-front!

At ease!

Attention!

Report to the instructor, for the rescue team

supporting Huining Earthquake,

six members should be present and six are indeed present.

I'm the team leader Lu Fangqi. Please give your instructions.

- At ease! - Yes.

At ease!

Comrades,

your mission is extremely challenging.

You must remember the 16-character policy

and complete the mission successfully.

Be loyal to the party.

Be strictly disciplined.

Come hell or high water,

serve the people wholeheartedly.

Alright.

I will await your safe return.

Yes!

Stand at attention!

Left-face!

Head to and meet the squad.

Salute!

Go on. Go on.

Tell me the truth,

did you also take the opportunity to see Dr. Zang just now?

After seeing her, it's even harder to leave, right?

That won't work. I have to go.

I want to be a man she can be proud of.

We will definitely return safely.

This time, our mission

will be very serious.

But I believe

our earthquake rescue team

is an elite firefighting force.

We must accomplish our mission.

Everyone must be fully alert

to ensure the safety

of all the civilians.

Check your lighting equipment,

personal protective equipment,

and rescue equipment.

Make sure all resources are fully prepared.

Yes!

Go.

- Here, this way. - Okay.

- Welcome to join us. - Thank you.

- Put it here. - Here, let me help.

Hello, I'm signing up as a volunteer.

Miss, we are mainly responsible for

transporting and receiving supplies.

Maybe you can't carry those.

No need for now.

The Seismological Bureau

detected that there will be several aftershocks coming.

It's dangerous. You'd better go back.

I-- Excuse me.

Hello?

I've already met up with Lu Fangqi and the others.

Did you safely return to Huaigang?

I'm still in Huining, and you?

- What happened? - Did everything go smoothly?

I heard that a reporter got injured

while broadcasting.

- How is it? - I have to go.

Not in life-threatening danger,

but the leg injury is very serious.

Can't report now.

What should we do?

I can do it.

You?

The live broadcast is about to start.

It's too late to find someone from the station. What should we do?

Excuse me, I am a reporter from HGTV.

If needed, I can help.

You? Do you have a press card?

Call the station and explain the situation.

Let her try.

Dear viewers, I am frontline reporter Xu Lai.

Next, I will bring you

live reports from the scene.

Behind me is

the Huining earthquake disaster site.

[HGTV]

The station decided to appoint a suitable reporter

to cover the frontline in Huining.

Team leader, let me go.

My experience is long enough and I have the skills.

I can definitely report some big news for the station and perform well.

The frontline reporting task is tough.

I will carefully consider the candidate.

Is there anyone in the team

more suitable than me?

Yes, in my mind,

I already have a suitable candidate.

Qin Ye

is just deliberately making things difficult for me.

Xin,

I feel like the team leader obviously

still doesn't trust you.

What if he doesn't trust me?

Anyway, he will leave soon.

Now that Xu Lai is not here,

the team leader's position will be mine sooner or later.

Don't you know where Xu Lai is?

I haven't been able to contact her.

Team leader, look, isn't this Xu Lai?

She is in Huining.

Dear viewers, I am frontline reporter Xu Lai.

Next, I will bring you live reports from the scene.

Behind me is

the Huining earthquake disaster site.

Dear viewers, I am frontline reporter Xu Lai.

Next, I will bring you live reports from the scene.

How urgent is your situation that you had to come to Huining?

- The Huining earthquake disaster site. - If it weren't for my supply truck,

you wouldn't have made it to Mofang Town.

Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen.

I have important things to do there, sir.

Thank you.

Hello, Xu Lai, I saw your report.

I'm on my way to Mofang Town now.

I will definitely bring you back

to Huaigang safely.

Huo, this is the hardest hit area.

The roads are closed. You don't need to come here.

I can't go back now either.

This time, I won't leave you alone in Huining.

Wait for me.

There wasn't much time to prepare,

but you were able to report so calmly

in the face of danger.

And your report was so professional and detailed.

That's amazing.

If you are willing,

our volunteer team

would be delighted to have you join us.

But I'm not a reporter anymore.

What did you say?

Nothing. Give me the form, please. Thank you.

Here. Here.

[Earthquake Relief Volunteer Application Form]

Hello, team leader.

I saw your news report.

And I know you're in Huining.

Why did you go to Huining out of the blue?

I wanted to clear my mind,

but I didn't expect to encounter an earthquake.

Maybe it's fate.

Actually, I've been trying to contact you recently.

First, to tell you that the station won't pursue Wang Yi's matter anymore.

Second,

it's about the Huining earthquake.

The station wants to find a frontline reporter

to follow up on the scene.

I think you…

You are quite suitable.

So, I wanted to take the opportunity

to resume your job.

What do you think?

I'm sorry. I haven't decided yet

whether I should be a reporter again.

I was quite worried about your state

until I saw your live report.

You might not feel it,

but I can see

you still love

the profession of journalism.

Your heart is still full of

a sense of mission for this profession.

Xu Lai,

come back and be a reporter.

You are born to be in this field.

I'll think about it and get back to you.

Okay, take your time to think about it.

Reply to me as soon as possible.

[Earthquake Relief Volunteer Application Form]

Okay.

Here, give you a handful.

Sir, Sir.

This area has been cleared.

All the injured have been sent to medical points.

Everyone, rest in place and have some food.

Yes.

Yes.

Hello.

Are you all right over there?

Our rescue operation just ended, so I wanted to report my safety to you quickly,

in case you were worried.

How are you over there?

I'm fine here too.

Just…

What's wrong? What happened?

My team leader just called me.

He said he hopes I can be a frontline reporter

to cover the disaster in Huining.

I haven't replied yet. What do you think?

You shouldn't be asking me this question.

You should ask yourself.

Do you want to return to the frontline

as a reporter?

Of course, I want to.

It's just that I haven't mentally prepared yet.

Xu Lai,

there are many things

that we can't prepare for.

Like this time, we encountered an earthquake.

It came so suddenly.

The same goes for our hurried farewell that night.

We can't predict these things at all.

All we can do

is follow our hearts

and listen to our own voices.

The voice we hear now

is the answer we should choose.

Now I understand.

Thank you.

Keep it up.

Are you full?

Yes, I am.

Work.

Hello.

How is it?

I've made up my mind.

Here.

[Position: Reporter]

Hello, team leader.

I've made up my mind.

I'm willing to accept

the frontline reporting task.

Fantastic.

I knew you would come back.

Don't worry.

Give it your all.

There are two more good news.

Mrs. Zheng's son

has taken her home from the hospital.

Wang Yi's health is improving and he's recovering.

I know you're still worried about these things.

Now start anew, Xu Lai.

Thank you, team leader.

I believe in you. You are the best.
