[Episode 30: The burnt rose is the most beautiful flower I've seen]

Zhang Yang,

if you can't bear to see me go, just say it.

Don't act like a young lady, dragging it out.

Who can't bear to see you go?

Alright,

I am about to leave.

After that, if you want to argue with someone,

there won't be anyone for you to argue with.

Yeah,

once you're gone, there won't be anyone to argue with me.

Actually,

I can't bear to part with you,

nor Vince,

nor everyone else,

nor my uniform.

Zhang Yang,

I promise you.

I will often come to visit you and Vince.

You said it yourself.

[Huining Earthquake Relief Awards Ceremony] To honor the hero teams and models

with outstanding performance

in the June 28th

Huining earthquake rescue

and award People's Liberation Army instructors,

People's Armed Police,

public security police,

firefighters,

medical workers,

news workers,

and volunteers.

Today, at the Huining City Hall,

we are hosting the June 28th Earthquake Relief

Commendation Conference.

Now, I announce the start of the conference.

Please welcome

the representatives of the advanced figures on stage.

Please welcome the city leaders from all walks of life on stage

to award medals to our heroes.

Salute!

- Any injuries when rescuing drug addicts? - No injuries.

Mr. Jin. Mr. Jin.

I heard this is your second time in Huining.

May I ask, do you have any--

Do you have any questions, miss?

Mr. Jin,

how do you feel about receiving this honor?

First of all, I am very honored

to receive this award.

As a firefighter, I have participated in many rescues.

Every time,

I deeply feel the power of unity.

It is this cohesive force

that allows us to forge ahead.

So here, I want to thank

my comrades who have fought alongside me

for so many years.

Secondly, I also want to thank someone.

In Huining,

I was trapped under the rubble

with a civilian.

She risked her life

to save me.

Can you tell us

who this person is?

She is my lover

and also the frontline reporter

of the Huining earthquake.

Reporter? Reporter?

Who is it? Reporter? Who is it?

Mr. Jin, how do you plan to thank your lover?

Half of this honor belongs to me

and the other half belongs to her.

I hope to share this honor with her.

It's her.

[Second-Class Merit]

Great, great.

Thank you.

[June 28th Huining Earthquake Relief Awards Ceremony Held Grandly]

Mr. Jin is so bold.

He announced it publicly at the awards ceremony.

Xu Lai must be so touched.

A confession with a medal.

Not many women can resist that.

Leader,

please help me ask for leave. I have to go out for a bit.

Help me.

Wait, where are you going?

What should I write as the reason?

There must be a problem. Definitely.

[Huaigang Medical University Hospital]

[Outstanding Firefighter China Fire and Rescue Medal]

[Outstanding Firefighter]

My military medal.

Half of it is mine and the other half is yours.

Today, I want to give my military medal

to the woman I love the most.

[Outstanding Firefighter, China Fire and Rescue Medal] Zang Qiu

Are you so excited that you can't even speak?

Copying others. You're so uncreative.

No.

I've watched Jin Shichuan's interviews.

Every time Mr. Jin uses my ideas to cheer Xu Lai up.

It's only fair that I use it occasionally.

Childish.

Men are childish in front of their girlfriends.

Who's your girlfriend?

Didn't you say in Huining

that you won't push me away again?

Besides, in my heart,

from the moment of our first kiss,

you were already my girlfriend. You can't go back on your word.

You need to take responsibility.

I said I wouldn't push you away,

but I will consider your performance before making a decision.

Don't think about it.

If you keep thinking, I'll move the Civil Affairs Bureau over.

Alright, hurry back.

Don't interfere with my work.

Leave now.

Grandma, let me tell you again.

These two kinds of medicine are--

Doctor Zang, is that your younger brother?

Hello, Grandma.

Your brother looks so spirited.

- Still a firefighter, huh? - Yes.

How old is he? Does he have a partner?

He…

I originally had a partner,

but then she said

she needed to think about it.

So that means no partner.

Just right, I have a granddaughter

around your age.

I'll introduce you two later.

Great, thank you, Grandma.

I happen to be single.

I don't have a girlfriend.

No need, Grandma. He has a partner.

Isn't he single?

He's not my brother.

He's my boyfriend.

So he's your boyfriend.

Grandma, rest well.

- Okay. - Come with me.

Thank you, Grandma.

Go.

You still know it hurts, huh?

When someone said they'd introduce you to a girlfriend,

- you seemed quite happy. - No.

Do you want to rebel?

What are you laughing at?

You just admitted inside

that I am your boyfriend.

You can't go back on your word. I have a witness this time.

I didn't plan to deny it in the first place.

Who made you so irresistible?

What did you say?

If your ears don't work, go see an ENT specialist.

I have a girlfriend now!

I have a girlfriend now!

Xu Lai, where's the gift your boyfriend gave you?

Show it to us so we can share in the joy.

What gift?

Don't pretend. We all saw

your interview video.

Didn't Mr. Jin give you his medal?

I envy you, Xu Lai.

Your boyfriend is both romantic

and provides a sense of security.

It makes me want to date a firefighter.

What's so great about that?

Always relying on men to be in the spotlight.

Mr. Jin is really good to Miss Xu Lai.

Xu Lai,

congratulations.

Thank you, team leader.

You might have double happiness coming your way.

Double happiness?

Because of Xu Lai's

outstanding performance in Huining,

the station has nominated Xu Lai

as this year's

outstanding journalist.

Sis.

Go contact the people who handle web traffic

to make sure my feature gets more clicks than Xu Lai.

But, Xin, isn't this cheating?

If we get caught, the consequences are--

I can't worry about that now.

I can't just watch Xu Lai become a team leader

and climb over my head.

After you returned to work, you did a few features which had a good response,

so they gave you a chance.

However, the station's intention is

to have you and Xu Lai each do a feature.

The number of clicks on the features

will be one of the criteria for selecting the team leader.

Prepare well for it.

This time, no matter what method I use,

I must not lose to Xu Lai.

I'll go now, bye.

Bye.

Every day from morning to night, there are calls.

Non-stop.

The most hateful are those who make false calls.

Not to mention it wastes time and energy.

The key is it will delay real calls.

One prank

could easily cost lives.

I have good news to tell you.

I was nominated as this year's outstanding journalist.

Are you free tonight? I'll treat you to dinner to celebrate.

Have you guys noticed?

The boss used to not check his phone much,

but since he started dating, he's completely changed.

Now, as soon as he finishes a task,

he turns on his phone.

You reminded me.

I have to report to Qiu.

I'm leaving.

Qiu, huh?

Look, he's even showing off.

[Xu Lai]

Hello?

Sorry, there were many calls today.

I just finished and returned to the station.

Never mind. I just got home too.

You weren't waiting for me all this time, were you?

No, I just happened to be working overtime too.

What kind of work

requires you to work so late?

The station is holding an election for the team leader.

Jiang Xin and I are both on the list.

The station asked us to each produce a feature.

I've collected a lot of materials,

but I haven't thought of a theme yet.

The broadcast time is set for after the Qixi Festival, so it's quite rushed.

Oh, right, I forgot to congratulate you,

my outstanding journalist comrade.

It's just a nomination, not confirmed yet.

In my heart,

you've always been the best.

Speaking of which, how are you going to spend Qixi?

This is our first Qixi Festival

after we are together.

Do you want to spend it together?

The station is usually quite busy with many calls,

so I must stay on standby.

It seems that we might not be able to

spend Qixi together this year.

Alright, it's okay.

I was just asking.

I understand.

I'm sorry.

Dating me

doesn't allow you to be like other girls.

Why should we be the same?

I like being different.

Alright, you've been busy all day and must be tired. Get some rest.

You should rest too.

Good night.

Comrades, Qixi is just around the corner.

Time to put our thinking caps on

for the surprise!

We have to give gifts on Qixi.

Leader, what should we give on Qixi?

What? Give chocolates.

Or maybe roses.

But I forgot, is it the man giving to the woman,

or the woman giving to the man?

Anyway,

not giving would cause trouble.

Why are you calling again?

Let's spend Qixi together.

But didn't you just say--

Let's celebrate a week earlier.

Just for the two of us, our own Qixi.

Alright.

Welcome, do you need help with anything?

No, it's okay, I'll look around myself.

Alright, feel free to browse.

♫ When the moods, they have no clue ♫

♫ Wake up at noon. Undo, fine ♫

♫ What a magical way to do ♫

♫ All I remember is not just you ♫

♫ It's you, and you, and you. Wait, that's only you ♫

♫ Am I going crazy? Am I losing gravity? ♫

How much is this?

Only one?

Who gives only one flower as a gift?

Giving one rose?

Giving more flowers represents

my love for her is greater, right?

Of course!

Is this your first time in a relationship?

Wrap them all for me, please.

Alright, please wait.

♫ I don't want to be another guy ♫

♫ Why don't you have another look inside of me? ♫

♫ It's a daisy and see the shine ♫

♫ Like kiddos and their bikes ♫

I'll be there soon.

What's wrong?

It seems like there was a traffic accident up ahead

and it looks pretty serious.

Sir, I'm not going there.

- I'll get off here. - Okay, sure.

Thank you.

Excuse me, would you like to order now?

Please wait a moment. My boyfriend will be here soon.

Alright.

♫ Light in the flames. Time settles down ♫

♫ Guiding me slowly ♫

♫ Wanting to confide. Protecting faith ♫

You're finally here.

I'm sorry.

I encountered a serious traffic accident

and just finished dealing with it, then rushed over.

Are you hurt?

No.

I actually bought a bouquet of flowers.

But the fire at the scene

burned all the flowers.

After picking for a while, only this one remained.

I originally wanted to celebrate a romantic Qixi with you early,

but I messed it up. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

♫ Embracing you through the crowd ♫

This burnt rose

is the most beautiful flower I've ever seen.

Now you are

the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.

Your nose is all covered in ash.

♫ Running towards you without hesitation ♫

It looks so good.

I came up with an idea for this issue's feature.

It's the rose you gave me that inspired me.

[Rose in the Flames]

Let's start.

Pick up the pace!

What are you doing here?

To celebrate Qixi with you.

Stop messing around. I'm working.

I'm here as a reporter, working.

I want to document a firefighter's Qixi

from a girlfriend's perspective.

I'm working.

Alright, go ahead.

Hose, get it back!

Yes!

A candle ignited the curtains,

causing a small indoor fire.

In many people's eyes, Qixi Festival

represents romance and love.

But for firefighters,

it means busyness and rushing around.

They silently protect

many people's romance

and the romance of the city.

I have a girlfriend,

but I can't celebrate

this Valentine's Day with her.

Can I say one more thing?

Zang Qiu, wait for me.

I will make it up to you for another Valentine's Day.

What about you? How are you spending Qixi?

Working. Always ready for it.

Me? Working.

Just watch them celebrate.

Right.

Do you have girlfriends?

No.

I want to find one, but I can't.

I, well, I got married.

She loves me very much, thank you.

I am a firefighter

and my girlfriend

is a reporter.

On Qixi, we are both at our respective posts.

I originally planned to celebrate Qixi with her

a week early,

but in the end, work got in the way.

I gave her a burnt rose.

I'll go get porridge.

The guy who got stuck today while climbing the window to propose

was really interesting.

Mr. Jin went down to rescue him

and he even asked Mr. Jin

if he could take him

to his girlfriend's window first

to finish the proposal.

You see, love makes people lose their senses.

And that couple

who lit their house on fire during a candlelit dinner.

It scared the girl so much

She said she doesn't want romance anymore.

You guys also had a hard time, working while others are celebrating.

This kind of situation happens every year.

And we are already used to it.

But being able to help others celebrate

is also a kind of romance for us firefighters.

- Right, brothers? - Exactly.

We've been so busy all day

that I didn't have a chance to talk to you.

Happy Qixi.

It's past midnight.

I'm sorry. Qixi is over.

It's not over.

As long as you're here, it won't be over.

I'm sweaty and dirty.

I don't care.

Now I'm as dirty as you.

Would you say this counts as couple outfits?

You sweet talk well.

A Qixi gift.

Who gives a walkie-talkie as a Valentine's Day gift?

You know, when we're usually on missions,

our leader gives us tasks

through the walkie-talkie,

and then we carry them out.

Now you are

my leader in life.

You can use this walkie-talkie

to give me orders

and I will carry them out immediately

and thoroughly.

Why don't you give it a try?

Jin Shichuan,

please respond if you hear me.

Copy, leader, what are your instructions?

I order you to hug your girlfriend right away.

Copy.

[HGTV]

Qixi feature.

Roses in the Flames

has surpassed the number of views of all our other features

during the same period.

The idea is great and it was done wholeheartedly.

Xu Lai, you did a good job.

On the other hand,

there's something that has shamed

our news department.

Another feature was caught

faking views.

The station is very angry about this

and has decided to remove the feature

and give a warning to the person responsible.

What I want to say is,

as news professionals,

faking views is extremely shameful.

I hope that everyone can

learn from this.

[Yunkai Group]

Working. Always ready for it.

Me, working. Just watch them celebrate.

Xu Lai's feature.

I suggest you don't watch it.

Why not? I think it's well done.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Jin Shichuan is in it.

I'm afraid you'll feel sour after watching.

It is a bit sour,

but,

it doesn't hurt anymore.

With this attitude,

you've really let go.

What else can I do?

This time I went to Huining,

I witnessed Jin Shichuan and Xu Lai's relationship,

so I decided to step back to being friends.

As long as Xu Lai is happy, that's enough.

What about Yu Shishi?

Why bring her up all of a sudden?

I know she went to Huining to find you.

Haven't you contacted her since you came back?

No.

She probably doesn't want to see me now.

Maybe this is better for her.

Is it?

I don't think she's doing too well.

What do you mean?

After Xu Lai's feature went viral,

an anonymous post appeared online

talking about a love rectangle

between you, Jin Shichuan, Xu Lai,

and Yu Shishi.

And it even exposed how she

turned down work

and went into hiding a while ago.

Now, people online are saying she's unprofessional.

It looks like the situation is worrying.

Been waiting for a long time, huh? Sorry, there was a traffic jam.

Just say it. What's the matter?

I haven't seen you since I got back from Huining,

so I wanted to catch up with you. Here.

Really? You were so eager to find me.

It can't be that simple.

I still can't hide anything from you.

Have you seen the recent anonymous post online?

Yes. I'm investigating the source of the post.

Will this affect you?

It's okay for me. Mainly for Yu Shishi.

After all, she's an actress.

Her image and reputation are very important.

That's the reason

I invited you out for this.

I want to see if you can find some

footage and information from when she was a volunteer

in the disaster area.

Of course, no problem.

But why do you need this?

I've paid off my debt to you,

but I still owe someone else,

so I need to make it up.

Alright, I understand.

Don't worry. Leave it to me.

Thanks a lot. Cheers.

Here he comes. Here he comes.

- Mr. Huo, - Please make way. Don't squeeze.

Mr. Huo, what's your opinion on the online rumors

about you and Yu Shishi being involved in a love rectangle?

I and Reporter Xu are just long-time friends.

She is now dating Jin Shichuan,

the chief of the Brigade One.

I sincerely hope they can be happy.

Yu Shishi is caught up in the unprofessionalism scandal.

I heard Yunkai Group will continue to work with her.

As her boyfriend, are you making this decision

for personal reasons?

I am a businessman. Deciding to continue to cooperate with Miss Yu Shishi

is based on the most rational and objective considerations.

Aren't you afraid that Yu Shishi's negative news

will affect Yunkai Group?

Yu Shishi has been working with Yunkai Group

for a long time.

Whether she is dedicated or not,

everyone in our entire Yunkai Group knows very well.

The negative comments circulating on the internet now are all rumors.

I can help her clarify today.

But it is true that Yu Shishi didn't work and went out to play instead.

She didn't go out to play.

Instead, she went with me to the earthquake-stricken area,

being an ordinary volunteer on the front line of the earthquake.

We didn't want to publicize this matter,

but now all kinds of false speculations from the outside world

have caused harm to Yu Shishi.

Now we can only stand up.

[Amy]

Did you see Huo Yanzong's interview?

I didn't. What happened?

He clarified the rumors about your unprofessionalism

and publicly defended you.

What's with your reaction? It's too cold.

What should I react?

Do you know? Now the public opinion on you

has completely reversed.

Feeling sorry for Yu Shishi.

And "The positive celebrity"

is now trending.

We really have to thank Huo Yanzong this time.

He really helped us a lot.

I know Huo Yanzong.

He only did this to

protect Yunkai

and his beloved Xu Lai.

So he had no choice

but to maintain my image.

There's nothing to be thankful for.

Actually, Shishi, listen to me. Huo Yanzong actually--

Don't mention this person anymore. I don't want to be involved with him

in any way.

Okay?

You've been drinking? I'm coming over to find you now.

No, don't come.

If you come,

I will

run away.

Get off the car.

Yu Shishi is missing. I have to find her.

Hurry up.

It used to be Xu Lai

and now it's Yu Shishi.

I'm always abandoned due to women. You went too far.

Another drink, please.

Alright.

Isn't that Yu Shishi?

Really, she's here too? What a coincidence!

Turn around!

It's fine. Let's take another picture.

Delete it.

Who are you? It's none of your business.

I told you to delete it.

Let's go.

Another drink, please.

Don't need it.

Can't drink anymore, huh?

Am I hallucinating?

You're drunk.

I saw that jerk again.

You drank too much.

Who are you?

Excuse me, do you know me?

Let's go. I'll take you home.

Don't touch me! I don't want to see you.

Huo Yanzong.

Please don't leave.

Don't leave me behind.

Please.

Don't worry. I won't leave.

Don't leave me behind.

I won't leave you again.

Damn it. I'm dreaming again.

I know he's a jerk,

but he's really handsome.

I can't be fooled by this face anymore,

even in my dreams.

If you are awake, get out of bed. Don't sleep anymore.

How come you're here?

You got drunk last night. I brought you back.

Yu Shishi.

Do you know you're a public figure?

And everyone knows you have a boyfriend.

You went to a bar alone late at night

and got wasted.

Aren't you afraid of being caught by the paparazzi?

Let them take pictures.

You are just a fake boyfriend anyway.

You can officially announce

that we've already broken up.

Who wants to break up with you?

Huo Yanzong, what else do you want from me?

Xu Lai already knows that we're

a fake couple.

I have no more use for you.

Why won't you break up with me?

I admit I used you before,

but now I'm not…

I don't want to hear your excuses anymore.

After coming back from Huining,

I swore

I wouldn't let myself get hurt again.

Anyway, I don't agree to break up.

Why?

There's no reason. I just don't agree.

It's not up to you whether we break up or not.

I'm tired of this love game.

I won't play along anymore.

Get lost!

You posted that anonymous message, right?

You always use these

despicable methods.

Aren't you tired?

I've decided to end this early. I'm not playing with you anymore.

What do you mean?

Weren't you always afraid of me becoming the team leader?

I didn't bother to compete with you before,

but this time,

I'll fight you to the end.

I'm determined to be the team leader.

The first thing I'll do when I become the team leader

is to kick you out of here.

On what grounds? What right do you have?

Don't even think about it.

Let's see who can help you.

Xu Lai,

there's a large cold chain logistics park in the suburb that needs an interview.

I've contacted the person in charge.

Take a team there now.

- I'll go right away. - I'll go with her.

You go too?
