Jiang Lin,

you believe I'll get better, right?

I have to get better.

I can't let you sacrifice your life

just to save half a person.

And

there's Jiang Yu.

I need to take care of

Jiang Yu for you.

[Ms. Fu]

Hello.

Hello,

Ms. Fu,

sorry to bother you again.

How has Jiang Yu been lately?

He's doing fine,

but he still hasn't picked up

the postcards you sent him.

It's okay.

No rush.

I'll give him all the time he needs

to forgive me.

What do you do, beautiful miss?

I'm a freelance writer.

What do you mean? Like a reporter?

Pretty much.

Which country are you from, Miss Journalist?

China? Japan?

China.

I love China!

Chinese journalist…

"Candy" is great!

You know "Candy"?

Of course, she's a beautiful girl.

"Candy" helped us a lot.

Wait.

Stop there.

♫Don't know where this road♫

♫Takes me to♫

♫Don't know where to restart♫

♫Feeling fool♫

♫I'm staring out the night♫

♫Bury deep my pain♫

♫To the place feeling good♫

♫Don't cost a thing♫

Stop!

♫This is not what I want♫

♫I'm not running from♫

♫Where your love♫

♫Always been enough for me♫

♫Goodbye, my friend♫

♫To the laughter♫

♫And pain we had♫

♫Saying goodbye to the endless nights in the rain♫

Don't worry.

I won't let it blow you up.

♫So long, my friend♫

♫Should have known you'd♫

♫Bring me this way♫

♫Saying goodbye to the place where I call home♫

What a coincidence.

Could it be his?

I'm being stupid.

There are plenty of people in Eastern Country with gloves like this.

Let's go.

Let's go.

I hope you and your family stay safe and together.

Thank you for abandoning me at that time.

If we ever meet again,

I'll buy you a brand-new motorcycle.

Where are we going?

To the hospital to visit a friend.

Okay.

Would Pei Xiaonan have any news about Zan?

Should I ask?

If there's news about Zan,

should I go find him?

Get in the car.

Get back!

Get back!

Don't come closer!

Get back!

Get back!

Sir.

Calm down.

Calm down.

Get back!

Stop!

Be careful!

Get out of here!

Go, go, go!

I got the leader!

Go, go!

I got the leader!

I got her!

Everybody, don't move!

Xiaonan.

Dangerous!

Stay away.

Xiaonan.

Don't come here.

It's dangerous!

Stay back!

Stay put!

Don't stimulate the patient!

♫Cause you're so beautiful♫

Stay back!

♫This love will never change♫

♫Halo on your side♫

♫You are so beautiful♫

♫Like angel from the stars♫

♫Over in the sky, tonight♫

Zan…

It's dangerous. Stay back, please.

Look at me.

This is not a battlefield.

♫When the moonlight♫

♫Glows on you♫

This is a hospital.

♫Each step is singing in the light♫

♫The song of snowing the white♫

♫Moonlight♫

I recorded it for you.

♫Touch your face♫

♫All the shine of a thousand spotlights♫

Remember?

Instructor Li.

Dr. Pei can't wait any longer.

♫All the feelings♫

♫I can't deny♫

It could be dangerous to go on like this.

Go!

Come here!

Come here! Come here!

Back off!

No!

Someone take him to the ward.

He's just passed out,

and he'll wake up soon.

Please, don't come closer.

Please, get out of the way.

Please, let's scatter.

Excuse me. Where has Dr. Pei been sent?

I'm her friend.

She's in the emergency room.

Thank you.

You'll be fine.

Trust me.

Kill me.

Kill… me.

I'm not lying.

We're the same,

which is the reason why I often come to see you.

But I'm still alive

and can even help others.

You see?

So you can do it too.

Another cup. Thanks.

Okay.

Why are you here drinking alone?

Zan?

What are you doing here?

The same as him. Thank you.

I saw your car outside,

so I came to let you know—

there was a little

accident at the hospital today.

Dr. Pei got injured.

You probably

won't see her today.

An accident?

What happened?

Is she seriously injured?

What happened?

A patient

got agitated

and accidentally hurt her.

As for how serious it is,

you can ask Dr. Pei yourself

when she wakes up tomorrow.

Judging from your tone,

it's not serious.

What happened to your hand?

Got hurt saving Dr. Pei?

Just a minor wound.

No big deal.

Why didn't you wear protective gloves today?

You always wear them.

If you had, you wouldn't have gotten hurt.

I lost them

a while ago

and haven't had time to buy new ones.

Since you can't see Dr. Pei,

shouldn't you head back to camp?

You sound just like

that brat, Sasin.

So, you're not here

waiting for Dr. Pei today.

You're here drinking

because Sasin pissed you off.

Half right.

Sasin did piss me off,

so I came here to wait for Dr. Pei,

hoping love could wash it all away.

But

you ruined my plan.

So,

you have to drink with me.

You're being ungrateful.

But I'm still curious—

why does Sasin

always manage

to get under your skin?

He's not that capable.

He always acts like

he's at odds with himself.

We spent the whole day clearing mines.

Just as we were wrapping up,

we heard there was another minefield in the south of the city,

and he insisted on going alone.

I just put him in confinement.

Again?

Again?

Do I lock him up that often?

Since I got to Eastern Country,

you've done it at least ten times.

So he's messed up

that many times, huh?

That's an interesting way

to look at it.

To be honest,

I have no idea

how to comfort Sasin.

I can just handle it the rough way.

Actually,

I think

your "confinement" approach

suits Sasin well.

Because the kind of pain

he's dealing with

can't be eased

by words.

Only time

can slowly heal those wounds.

As his friend,

the best you can do is protect him;

make sure he doesn't take on more wounds

before the old ones have even healed.

Ben,

Sasin is really lucky to have a captain

like you.

Zan.

You really are

an amazing friend.

I'm going to the hospital to check on Dr. Pei.

She's still unconscious,

but seeing her will put my mind at ease.

When I come back,

I'll take you back to camp with me.

No need.

I want to walk back alone.

One more, please.

Here.

Don't come any closer!

Stay back!

Kill me.

Kill… me.

It's okay.

Sorry to break your glass.

Here's the money.

So that's post-traumatic stress disorder?

Was Zan like that before too?

He was so proud,

so determined,

and so gentle.

Had he really become like that?

How sad must he have felt?

How did he get through it?

And me…

What have I done?

Go back and rest.

The lockdown is lifted.

Give me the key.

Yes, sir.

So quiet.

That boy isn't waiting behind the door

to ambush me, is he?

He actually fell asleep.

Looks like confinement doesn't work on him anymore.

Still just a kid.

He misses his mom.

You want to disobey my order

and act alone?

Lock him up.

Yes, sir.

Lock him up!

If you keep this up,

I'll…

Don't take your anger out on others.

Besides locking me up,

do you have any other way to deal with me?

You'll let me out

sooner or later anyway.

No wonder you were so cooperative this time.

Rina gave that to me.

You can't just take it back.

Fine.

If you won't give it to me,

then we'll trade.

Look at you, grinning in your sleep.

When you wake up tomorrow,

you're going to be so mad.

Serves you right, you little ingrate.

I'll teach you a lesson for Rina.

Hey, Mr. Driver.

Miss, were you okay yesterday?

I was fine.

Today, I need to go to the Uglai Hotel.

That's pretty far,

and we have to pass through a—

rat-a-tat-tat—

dangerous area.

Are you scared?

No.

I'll protect you.

Okay.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Ladies and gentlemen,

dear journalists,

welcome to today's press conference.

Madam,

there's such chaos in Eastern Country.

Everyone needs protection.

If you want it,

I can give it to you.

Thank you.

But I don't need it.

Confident girl.

We've repeatedly refused the demands from the rebel forces for Ark's release

and intensified our efforts to strike against the remaining rebels.

Their arrogance

has now been quelled.

The situation in our country has stabilized.

How dare they say that?

Of course.

We'll do it.

Just brag,

saying how safe your country is

and how cruel those guys are.

As long as you're willing

to pay enough for our articles.

That's basically what's happened.

If you have any questions…

Am I wrong, miss?

I don't care about this.

Then why are you here?

What do you care about?

I only care about

when the people here

will stop suffering.

Now, Eastern Country has ample supplies,

enough for the people's production and daily activities,

thanks in part to international

assistance and support.

If you want it,

I can give it to you.

Thank you.

But I don't need it.

There are many horrible things in this country, miss.

It'll give you courage.

When did he

put this knife in my bag?

Is Zan's cut serious?

♫Stepping on my heart alone♫

♫You're triggering a bomb unknown♫

♫The sound goes wild where your light has flown♫

When did you get here?

♫Just stay where you are, don't go♫

Three days ago.

How long are you staying?

Not sure yet.

♫Explode into the pieces♫

Why do I feel like crying?

♫We flow from our souls♫

♫Explode into the pieces♫

Good thing the lights are off.

He probably didn't notice.

♫We flow, we're falling slow♫

♫We flow, we're falling slow♫

This is dangerous

and not suitable for girls.

Aren't you leaving?

I am.

So I really was overthinking it.

That glove wasn't Zan's.

Instructor Li.

Zan?

Zan hasn't left.

Is he following me?

Are you sick?

No.

I'm here to see...

to see a friend.

He just happens to be coming

to the hospital too.

I'm reading into

things again.

Dr. Pei.

Come in.

Song… Song Ran?

You...

When did you come to Eastern Country?

How did you know I was here?

I arrived three days ago.

Yesterday, when I came to find you,

I happened to see what happened.

I figured you'd be awake today,

so I came to check on you.

Sit down.

You caught me

in a total mess.

How's your injury?

Is it serious?

I'm fine.

It'll probably leave a scar for a while,

but I can cover it with this.

This color really suits you.

Does it?

I just didn't expect

even the hospital to be this dangerous.

Didn't you see Li Zan?

It was too chaotic yesterday.

But today,

I saw him at the government's

press conference.

You came to Eastern Country,

and Li Zan doesn't know?

You two aren't…

together?

I didn't tell him.

It's…

complicated.

Well,

you don't need to worry about me anymore.

I still

admire Li Zan,

and I still think he's very handsome,

but I don't think his personality really suits me.

But I should warn you—

a lot of the nurses here

have had their eyes on Li Zan.

I just want to give you this as a thank-you gift.

Especially the nurse in charge of

that soldier from yesterday.

Here you are.

Every time Li Zan comes by,

she goes to talk to him.

You didn't see her yesterday.

Even in that situation,

she was still standing beside Li Zan.

The admiration in her eyes

completely replaced any fear.

I'll take it.

Don't mention it anymore.

Alright.

But honestly,

I really do think

you and Li Zan are meant for each other.

Why?

Why?

Because you're just like him.

You both bottle everything up

like two closed books.

You're a book!

What are you looking at?

Xiaonan,

do you feel lonely in Eastern Country?

With my personality, how could I ever feel lonely?

Did you tell

Sasin and Benjamin you were coming?

They're on a mission in Uglai right now.

Their camp is still in the same place.

You can go see them.

They'd be

so happy to see you.

But it seems

they have some kind of training today.

If you want to see them,

you can go tomorrow.

I'll go see them tomorrow.

It's been so long.

I really miss them.

How do you know so much

about what they're up to?

Well,

someone told me, of course.

So the one who's perfect for you…

is Sasin?

Sa...

No…

You've learned to mess with me!

You and Benjamin

are perfect for each other.

You two are alike.

Cherish him.

Seeing these siblings

reminded me of Sia and Zoro all over again.
