[The White Olive Tree]

[Episode 15]

[This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to reality is purely coincidental.]

You even avoid doctors now.

When will you ever recover completely?

I forgot about it today.

I didn't mean it.

Besides,

I'm fine now.

Let it be.

If you really want to let it be,

why bother making these things?

Mr. Luo.

Do you know what it means

to see through but not expose?

I know that.

But, I also know that

without destruction, there can be no construction.

Besides,

when I was waiting for you downstairs,

I thought about ways to

not expose you.

But you came back

before I could figure out.

So,

I can only be frank.

Li Zan,

I know you already believe

that you had something to do with Jiang Lin's death.

But you can't recall what happened.

This is your biggest trouble.

But, regarding this matter,

why are you so stubborn

and insist on thinking negatively?

Mr. Luo.

I...

I can't recall what happened

due to my self-protection mechanism.

And the reason for the protection

is that this memory

hurts me.

Do you think

there could be any other explanation

besides the fact that Jiang Lin's death is connected to me?

Even if Jiang Lin's death is connected to you,

based on your own understanding of yourself,

I don’t believe you don’t know

that it must not have been intentional

and that it must have been because you were trying to save someone.

I know that.

But having the right purpose

doesn't guarantee a good result.

You...

I really wish

you could spare some of your kindness and compassion

for yourself.

Mr. Luo,

I'm actually doing well.

This is a small program I developed.

It can simulate and predict explosions.

It's more convenient to use than yours.

By the way,

I ran into Reporter Song in front of the hospital today.

I looked very flustered.

I don't know if she will think much about it.

Hospital?

Reporter Song.

I want one too.

You're so handsome.

I want one too.

Can you make one?

It's really cute.

It's so cute.

It's calling for you.

Reporter Song.

Good morning.

See you next time.

I heard that the application for the next round of expatriate

is delayed till next month.

Yeah.

I think it is still to the Uglai City of Eastern Country.

Would Zan

want to return to the Eastern Country too?

Ran,

Director Liu wants to see you.

He wants you to follow up

on the topic of

the International Youth Science and Technology Competition.

Okay.

I'm here to pass you your student ID

and this jacket.

Can I talk to you for a while more?

As my reward for running errands for you.

That's not too much, is it?

Jiang Yu.

I understand

that Jiang Lin's sacrifice

has made you angry

and sad.

But I don't understand

your hatred towards him.

Shouldn't he be hated?

Since I was six, he'd been saying

he would take me to live with him.

He said it throughout primary school,

and throughout middle school.

Even if he didn't die,

he will never take me with him.

He is such a hypocrite.

Shouldn't I hate him?

In my eyes,

he is a deceitful person

and a liar.

Enough.

Jiang Yu.

You've gone too far.

I don't want to talk to you.

You can't leave until I finish.

I don't want to.

Before I finish,

you can't go anywhere.

Jiang Yu.

If Jiang Lin really is a hypocrite

like you said,

if everything the said to you is a lie,

he wouldn't have mentioned you often.

As his friend,

I

shouldn't have known of your existence,

let alone travel thousands of miles

after Jiang Lin's sacrifice

to look for you,

help you,

and even

tolerate your nasty attitude.

Jiang Yu.

You blamed the uncertainty and cruelty of a war

all on him.

Is it fair?

Isn't it too much?

There are many ways

to miss someone.

But the verbal abuse and violent outbursts

is definitely the worst way.

Since you are a good brother in the eyes of Jiang Lin,

I believe

you can understand these principles.

I'll leave you alone

to think about it.

I'll come to you again soon.

♫Heartache♫

♫Like a knife in my chest♫

♫Silent tears♫

♫Falling down from my eyes♫

♫Lost in the waves♫

♫Can't find my way back♫

I feel like sometimes

no matter how hard I try,

♫Like two lonely islands♫

there are still many things I can't do well.

♫Drifting far apart♫

I can only repeatedly

let others down,

♫Feeling like a castaway♫

and let Jiang Yu down.

Do you think I can be a good brother?

♫Stranded here alone♫

♫No place feels like home♫

♫Feeling like far from home♫

♫You don't belong to me♫

♫I know, not anymore♫

Ms. Fu,

thank you for recommending the fews students

to participate in the Science and Technology Competition.

I will still have to trouble you

another time.

You're welcome, Reporter Song.

Goodbye.

It's none of your business.

Don't follow me around anymore

and don't bother me again.

I won't meddle in your problems anymore.

Take care of your own business.

What are you doing?

Let go of him!

Let go!

Another busybody.

If you dare to follow me,

I'll beat you up.

Are you okay?

You didn't get hurt, did you?

Don't be afraid.

I'm a reporter.

My name is Song Ran.

No matter what it is,

if you need help,

you can come to me.

No, thanks.

Thank you.

Hey!

Ran.

A student is looking for you downstairs.

He said his name is Wang Han.

A student from Bai Xi Experimental High School.

Wang Han.

Ms. Reporter,

can you help me?

What happened?

Who did this to you?

It's Jiang Yu.

Mr. Li,

I have great news.

Today, Jiang Yu

apologized to the student he beat up.

Although his tone is still tough,

it is till considered great progress.

Our class teacher

is so naggy.

Why is she telling you every single thing?

Don't flatter yourself.

I apologize

because I did beat him too hard.

It has nothing to do

with what you said that day.

I know.

You know?

Then why did you still come?

I'm here

because both of us

have something in common

that is hard to find in others.

Us?

An engineer

and a high school hooligan.

What can we have in common?

We do.

We both

miss Jiang Lin a lot.

Jiang Yu.

Every time I see you,

I feel as if

Jiang Lin is not that far away from me.

You are like

the linkage

between Jiang Lin and I.

With your existence,

Jiang Lin no longer

seems so distant

and intangible to me.

Do you have this feeling?

I don't feel this way.

This is our most recent photo together.

But that was also several years ago.

We look a little silly.

Your choice of word is inaccurate.

It's not silly.

It's cute.

Using the word "cute" on two grown men.

I think your choice of word is inaccurate.

I'd rather be silly.

It's getting late.

Let me send you home.

Wait for me here.

I'll drive the car over.

It would be silly

not to use a free driver.

Excuse me,

are you Jiang Yu?

I'm a reporter.

My name is Song Ran.

We met yesterday.

You were

beating Wang Han at that time.

What nonsense are you talking about?

Am I talking nonsense?

I saw it with my own eyes.

Both yesterday

and today.

What yesterday and today?

Don't be nosy.

Reporters are nosy.

Are you sick in the mind?

Jiang Yu!

Zan?

What happened?

Do you know this person?

Reporter Song is my friend.

Keep your friend in check.

Tell her to mind her own business.

Jiang Yu.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Just a small scratch.

I have a first-aid kit in my car.

Zan.

Why are you here?

How do you know Jiang Yu?

Jiang Yu

is Jiang Lin's younger brother.

Jiang Lin's younger brother?

Do you remember on the day

when the explosion at the Uglai Market happened,

Jiang Yu called Jiang Lin?

I remember.

At that time, I even commented

that the brothers are so close.

From Jiang Lin,

I heard a lot about Jiang Yu.

I think

he's not a bad kid.

But after all,

he just lost his brother.

So it's possible for him

to do extreme things.

I'm thinking

if you could let me talk to him for a bit

before you do?

Jiang Yu's personality

is quite stubborn.

Towards me,

he might be less cautious.

Okay.

Thank you.

I should thank you.

I didn't expect our next meeting

to be in this situation.

Me too.

It reminds me of our time in the Eastern Country.

It seems like something unexpected would happen

every time we meet.

Maybe,

that is why

our relationship

is different from others.

I'll send you home.

I drove.

Then I hope

Reporter Song is not driving next time.

Then...

I'll see you next time.

Be careful.

Ran.

Song Yang is coming home today.

Come back too.

Let's have dinner together.

Is depression just a bad mood?

Song Ran's mother called and talked to your dad.

I didn't want to ask much.

Yes,

but also not really.

You won't understand.

You can interpret it

however you want to.

How did your sister get this disease?

She was never a person with bad temper.

But now when I talk to her,

I'm always so cautious.

I said you won't understand.

This is called psychological trauma.

Psychological trauma?

She seems fine.

Her work is doing well,

and her photograph won an award.

Isn't it just getting bashed for a bit?

Does she have to take it so hard?

She

is always frowning.

Who can stand it?

I don't know what time your sister will be back.

But I didn't dare to ask either.

She yelled at me on the phone last time.

I'm still scared till this day.

If she does it again,

I'm going to be depressed too.

Oh jeez.

You still remember that from so long ago?

[Zan]

Stop beating me.

This video

was spread online just now.

Many viewers hope that our TV station

will pay attention to this.

-So... -Sir.

I know

the student who got beaten.

I'll figure it out.

Song Ran.

Both of the parties

are still students.

And you are a reporter.

You must know your boundaries.

Okay.

Hello, Ms. Fu.

I'm Song Ran who have contacted you before.

I'm looking for Wang Han.

Can you help me...

What?

Wang Han didn't come to school today.

Alright.

Thank you.

Bye.

Hello.

I'm a reporter.

My name is Song Ran.

I know Wang Han.

Is he at home?

Can I see him?

You are that reporter?

Sorry.

Wang Han doesn't want to see anyone now.

Wang Han said this is for you.

I hope

you won't let him down again.

After the last time I looked for you,

I think you haven't fully trusted me.

This notebook

records the time and place of

every time I got beaten,

stalked, and assaulted.

They are all recorded immediately after

I got beaten up.

Can this make you

trust me more?

Does this...

Does this make you more willing

to help me?

Sorry, Wang Han.

I failed to protect you right away.

At the Eastern Country,

I couldn't protect those kids.

Can't I do that either

over here,

in Liangcheng?

Let me explain.

Stop beating me!

Stop beating me!

Schools

should be a pure and safe space.

Children’s growth

requires the care and attention

of teachers, parents,

and us adults.

Incidents of school bullying

may be happening right around us.

[Qiu Tian]

Ran.

Did you post a comment last night?

Do you know the comment section got out of hand?

I'm talking about the video of a student beating people.

I...

I just watched the video

and spoke from my heart.

I didn't expect...

You're different now.

You're now very influential.

Director Liu came looking for you as soon as he came to work.

He saw that you weren't arounf

and asked me to tell you

to delete your comment immediately.

I couldn't wait till you arrive

so I called you.

Why?

This is just my personal behavior.

It has nothing to do with the station, right?

He didn't mention this.

Anyway, he looked worried.

Arrive soon.

I'll wait for you.

Did you see my comment?

Are you

angry?

No.

I just thought you would tell me

before you post it.

At that time,

I was just very moved

and said what I felt.

And it was very late at night.

I didn't want to disturb you.

As soon as the video was posted,

I've been looking for Jiang Yu

and I just found him.

I'm going to see him now.

I came

hoping you won't jump to a conclusion

before I talk to him.

Okay?

Of course.

I want to go with you.

I also want to talk to Jiang Yu.

Look.

Actually, my comment yesterday

did not express any opinion on this matter.

I don’t have any stance

for the time being.

I was simply speaking from the heart based on the content of the video.

But your comment

assumes that the video

is about school bullying.

Let's get going.

I'm not...

Jiang Yu.

Anger can't solve any problem.

Yes, Jiang Yu.

We just want to know

the truth.

Besides,

you did beat Wang Han.

Right?

Yes.

That's right.

I did hit him.

I just wanted to beat him up.

I get angry whenever I see him.

Not only this time,

I'll beat him up the next time I see him.

This is the truth.

Are you satisfied?

Jiang Yu,

I want to hear the truth,

not words spoken in anger.

Trust me,

Reporter Song has no ill intentions.

Trust you?

You said she wouldn't write nonsense.

And what happened?

You said you wanted to see me,

but you brought her along.

How can I trust you?

You're a liar

just like Jiang Lin.

You're all liars!

Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu is emotional now.

Give him some time.

But,

the other child

has been waiting for a long time.

This is Wang Han's record.

Every time he was beaten

is clearly recorded here,

and the handwriting varies in age.

This definitely wasn’t written last minute just to make things up.

I believe this is real.

But it only

records the time and location,

it didn't mention who did it.

Besides...

This one here.

This particular incident

was the first time

I saw Jiang Yu beating Wang Han.

The time and place match.

I saw it with my own eyes.

It can't be fake, can it?

Li Zan.

He is Jiang Lin's younger brother.

I understand

why you don't want to believe it.

But...

Song Ran.

I can understand

why you're willing to believe it's him.

Now, Jiang Yu is hostile towards you.

I think it's better for me

to look for him alone.

You should go back first.

Zan.

Why don't even you understand me?

♫Heartache♫

I just want to help Wang Han.

♫Like a knife in my chest♫

It's fine.

♫Silent tears♫

Even if I'm the only one left,

♫Falling down from my eyes♫

I wil persevere till the end.

♫Lost in the waves♫

♫Can't find my way back♫

♫Like two lonely islands♫

♫Drifting far apart♫

♫Feeling like a castaway♫

♫Stranded here alone♫

♫No place feels like home♫

Did you find Jiang Yu?

♫Feeling like far from home♫

I wrote down a few addresses.

♫You don't belong to me♫

♫I know, not anymore♫

Do you know Wang Han?

Hi there.

Do you know Jiang Yu and Wang Han?

I don't.

♫In this darkness♫

Excuse me, can I talk to you?

♫Search for a light♫

Excuse me.

♫Hoping some day♫

♫I'll find my way back to life♫

♫Ocean of sadness♫

♫I'm under attack♫

♫Hoping some day♫

♫I'll find my way back to life♫

So you're Reporter Song!

If you don't delete your post,

you can't enter our school.

Sir.

Hello.

I want to see Wang Han.

There's no need.

♫Find my way back to life♫

Wang Han has told you everything he could,

but you

have yet to voice out after so long.

♫In this darkness♫

You're a journalist who reports about big international news.

♫Search for a light♫

I hope

you can treat his matter

♫Hoping some day♫

like a matter of life and death.

♫I'll find my way back to life♫

Don't let Wang Han down.

♫Ocean of sadness♫

♫I'm under attack♫

The school has filed a complaint.

♫Hoping some day♫

♫I'll find my way back to life♫

Why haven't you

deleted your comment?

My comment

did not make any judgment about this video.

♫In this darkness♫

Don't journalists

have the right to express

personal opinions?

♫Search for a light♫

If I delete the comment now,

wouldn't it leave an impression

that Wang Han is lying?

♫One day♫

♫I'll find my way back to life♫

That's why I can't do it.

Song Ran.

The sacrifices you made

for this matter,

are they even worth it?

♫Ocean of sadness♫

♫I'm under attack♫

I am indeed

treating this matter

like a matter of life and death.

♫Hoping some day I'll find my way back to life♫

Why can't anyone understand me?

♫My way back to life♫

Ran,

you haven't been home for days.

Your aunt said

she wants to come cook for you.

She's afraid you'll be in a bad mood being alone

and won't eat well.

I'm fine.

Here.

Thank you, Dad.

Are you feeling better recently?

Yes.

That's good.

Is your work

and everything else going well?

Ran,

you're famous now.

Your speech is very influential.

That is a good thing.

But,

influence is a double-edged sword.

Because of fame,

you have to

act more cautiously.

Don't affect your future.

I will be responsible

for my own future.

But what about Song Yang?

Do you know Song Yang will be assign to

Bai Xi High School upon graduation?

Ran,

delete the comment

and post a clarification statement

This will...

I only expressed my feelings.

I didn't make any conclusion.

The school shut me down.

The station asked me to apologize.

The victim's parents don't understand me either.

I fought against them all day.

Do you understand how I feel?
