[The Best Thing]

[Episode 19: Magnolia Buds] [Spicy in taste and warm in nature.] [They are associated with the lung and stomach meridians and help treat colds and nasal congestion.]

What do you want to do tomorrow night?

I want to go eat something delicious with you.

Alright, I'll pick you up after work.

No need.

I can come back on my own.

How?

I'll take the bus.

It's really convenient.

Alright then.

I'll wait for you at the bus stop.

Okay, see you at the bus stop tomorrow.

Here we are.

Here, take this.

What's wrong?

He Suye.

When I like someone,

I like them for a very, very long time.

What a coincidence.

Me too.

Good night.

Good night.

Bye.

♫Two little hearts♫

♫Found each other♫

♫Never apart♫

He Suye.

♫Sticking together♫

I like you.

If you're still willing...

would you be my boyfriend?

♫You and I♫

♫Side by side by side♫

♫You and I♫

♫Tonight♫

♫And we go lalala♫

Good morning.

Good morning.

It's so hot.

Manager Shen, you look great today.

You're grinning from ear to ear.

The treatment is working well.

Have him continue taking the medicine for a few more days

to clear out the toxins in his body.

Dr. He,

something good happened?

Tell me.

Your papers turned out pretty well this time.

Keep up the good work.

I'll get going now.

Goodbye.

I'd say my paper could use a rewrite.

What's good about it?

Senior He is in an exceptionally good mood today.

Indeed.

Grandpa Yu,

something big happened!

He.

Let's go to the cafeteria.

I'll pass. I'm heading out for a bit.

Alright, take care.

Song Feng.

Good luck.

Good... luck?

Why would I need luck to eat at the cafeteria?

Better confess now, or you'll pay for the bubble tea.

Look at her—

glowing with happiness.

Well,

I'm no longer single.

I have a boyfriend now.

Out of the blue?

I just casually brought it up,

and he said yes.

You brought it up?

So you made the first move?

Nice, you've made progress.

Look at you, all smug.

Don't be so dramatic.

You two were the same back then. So don't judge me.

[Grandpa]

Hello?

Hello.

I heard you're in a great mood today.

Come on, spill.

Li Jie told you?

You and Shen are together now?

When did it happen?

You were so upset

during the Spring Festival.

When did it happen?

Why would I tell you?

You sound so smug.

Listen.

You finally got yourself a girlfriend,

so treat her well.

Don't get too full of yourself.

Cherish her.

Got it?

Got it, got it.

I don't need you to tell me that.

That's it. I'm driving.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

I'm off work.

I'm on my way too.

♫When I see you♫

♫Flowers bloom♫

♫When I see you♫

♫Flowers bloom♫

♫And I don't even know where else to go♫

Dr. He.

♫And I don't even know where else to go♫

He Suye.

Right on time.

Not a minute late.

♫When I see you♫

Wait a second.

♫Flowers bloom♫

What?

Look.

♫Nothing in this world can take me away from you♫

You bought it?

I brought you flowers too.

♫Nothing in this world can take me away from you♫

You know

that love poem?

"Riding on a red leopard, accompanied by a striped lynx."

♫When I'm with you♫

"With a magnolia-wood carriage and banners adorned with osmanthus."

♫When I'm with you♫

Red leopards and striped lynxes are hard to find,

so I brought you magnolia flowers instead.

There's a poem behind it?

Well, I'm giving you this simply because you like it,

so I want to give it to you.

Thank you.

♫Nothing in this world can take me away from you♫

They smell so good.

Do they?

Let's enjoy the fragrance at home.

Let's go.

♫Nothing in this world can take me away from you♫

Where are they going?

To Shen's place, of course.

Look, they're holding hands.

♫When I'm with you♫

What an enviable couple!

♫When I'm with you♫

Do you need any help?

Not here.

Can you scoop some rice out

and set the table for me?

Sure. Is the dinnerware over there?

Everything's there. Be careful.

I made this soup for your granddaughter-in-law. Not bad, right?

Here's the soup.

Thank you.

We're having chestnut chicken soup today.

Looks good.

Try it.

Okay.

Let me ladle some for you.

Try it.

How is it?

It really has a chestnut flavor.

Of course.

I invited you before, but you wouldn't come.

You brat.

It's your first date.

Why didn't you take Shen out for a nice meal?

You should've at least made more dishes.

It's so stingy of you

to just make these few dishes.

Totally unacceptable!

Look, my grandpa is scolding me.

He thinks I'm not treating you

well enough.

Then…

Explain it to him.

You want me to explain?

What am I supposed to say?

Anything. No pressure.

Well,

should I call him Grandpa

or Professor Yu?

Professor Yu will do. Relax.

Professor Yu, hello.

I'm Shen.

I asked He Suye to cook at home

because I think his cooking is amazing,

better than anything from a restaurant.

Take your phone back.

Okay.

You heard that?

My cooking is amazing,

and I treat her very well.

That's just how my grandpa is.

I was so nervous.

What's there to be nervous about?

What did he say?

He feels bad

and thinks he might've left a bad impression on you.

No way. Why would he think that?

That's just how he is—

tough on the outside but soft on the inside.

He's loved roasting me since I was little.

But honestly, he really likes you.

I've only

met him once.

Why does he like me already?

You two met

during your first follow-up visit.

He was covering for me at the clinic.

When he got back, he told me,

"Miss Shen is really pretty."

Why don't you two

have a meal together and get to know each other?

Don't you think it's too soon for me

to meet your family?

It's nothing formal.

Well,

if it's just a casual meal, then sure.

I'm available anytime.

Tell Professor Yu for me

that I really like him too.

What a sweet talker.

No.

I need to reconsider.

If you meet my grandpa like this,

he's going to like you even more.

Then I'll fall out of favor.

I'll spoil you.

What are you watching?

"Twinkling Stars."

Teach me origami.

Origami?

Why are you suddenly interested in that?

I've always wanted to learn it

but never got the chance.

So,

what do you want to make?

A frog,

the kind that jumps when you press it.

Let me tell you.

Making a paper frog is hard.

You need to watch closely.

How hard can it be? Just show me.

Alright.

Look.

Take the paper,

fold it like this,

and then fold it again like this.

Like this.

After that,

unfold the paper

and fold it in half.

Fold it once more.

Like this.

Then…

After folding both sides,

fold these two corners.

Then fold it like this.

Right.

Then like this.

Done.

Someone

was so confident just now,

saying he could definitely get it right,

only to end up with this.

Did you mess up from the very first step?

How could that be?

That's an insult to my intelligence.

That's not what I mean!

He Suye.

Are you angry?

No.

Really?

I just realized something.

Every day I spend with you

makes me incredibly happy.

Alright then.

As long as you're happy,

you can say whatever you want about me.

I was just thinking…

Fortunately, I came to see you yesterday.

I know.

I saw you pacing outside the door.

You saw me?

I saw everything through the peephole.

I was so afraid you'd leave the next second,

but at the same time,

I didn't want to startle you by suddenly opening the door.

So,

I made up an excuse,

saying I needed to take out the trash.

I was afraid that you might reject me

if I said something wrong again.

I wouldn't. Why would I reject you?

Yesterday, you said

you had considered the worst-case scenario—

waiting for me to return from abroad.

But what if, after I come back,

I still haven't figured things out?

Is this a trick question?

I'm being serious.

If one day

you make me feel miserable,

I won't hold onto you anymore.

A relationship

is about two people.

Happiness and joy

should go both ways.

For me

and for you,

it should be the same.

So,

if one day

I make you feel miserable

or

I make you feel unhappy,

you have to tell me.

I'll make changes.

If…

that's still not enough…

you can break up with me.

What are you saying?

Don't say things like that.

I'm saying this

because I truly want you…

to always be happy.

♫Loving you is the best thing I've ever done♫

♫Among the vast sea of people, you and I understand each other♫

♫Missing you is the most beautiful thing in my life♫

♫Write it down in your heart and never disappear♫

He Suye.

Fortunately, I came to see you yesterday.

Fortunately, you came to see me last night.

Fortunately, you opened the door yesterday.

Fortunately, I opened the door.

♫Loving you is the best thing I've ever done♫

♫Among the vast sea of people, you and I understand each other♫

♫Missing you is the most beautiful thing in my life♫

♫Write it down in your heart and never disappear♫

♫You're like a gentle wind♫

I'll tell you the code to my door.

Okay.

112167.

What are those numbers?

It's the ISSN of the English edition of TCM Journal.

My first SCI paper

was published there.

That's so you.

Keep it in mind

so you can open the door yourself when you come.

I'll try my best to remember those numbers.

Actually, if you had left these flowers at my place,

you could still see them every day.

I'll come to see you every day.

A relationship

is about two people.

Happiness and joy should go both ways.

It's such a simple truth.

Why did I not understand it before?

You made it?

I searched for tutorials online. Hard work makes up for clumsiness.

I made that paper frog! Suye threatened me.

He said if I couldn't do it,

he wouldn't help me check the English version of my paper.

Keep it a secret.

Why did you expose him?

I'm too kind.

I couldn't stand to see you get fooled.

What do you need from me?

You got together with that TCM physician?

When?

The night before last.

He's just a lame TCM physician.

What do you see in him?

Yan Heng.

I didn't choose to be with him

because I saw something in him.

I chose him because when I'm with him,

I feel happy

and content.

That's something you could never give me.

Happiness should go both ways.

I wish

you could find the person who makes you happy.

You're checking out today, right?

If you are satisfied

with our service,

we'd love to have you stay with us again.

As the front office manager,

I'll try to offer the best service.

I'll get back to work now.

Goodbye, Mr. Yan.

Please, don't come again.

[Shen Xifan]

What's wrong? Why are you calling me now?

I miss you.

What's wrong? Did something happen?

Nothing.

I just want to tell you

that I miss you.

Thank you for telling me.

I miss you too.

Bye-bye.
