[The White Olive Tree]

[Episode 32]

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

How dare you sit down?

This is not a place where you should be.

You think I want to be here watching you?

If you could walk,

I wouldn't want to stay for even a minute longer.

Dr. Pei will wheel me back later.

You don't have to wait for me at the hospital.

Hurry back to the camp and get some sleep...

He's got quite a temper now.

Waiter.

Ratafee.

Okay.

Dr. Pei.

Don't worry,

Even if I have to hop there.

I'll still make it to our Vinyl date.

That won't be necessary.

Why are you here?

Your aim is pretty bad, huh?

Don't tell me you never left.

If Dr. Pei had came,

I'd have left.

It's really weird.

Why do people around me all have such bad tempers?

You all get angry so easily.

Don't you think

it's because you provoke others easily?

Is that so?

I didn't feel that way.

Let me ask you,

do you like Dr. Pei or not?

Of course.

If I didn't like her,

why would I have paid three months' fee for her?

Here we go again.

Money, money, money. That's all you know.

What Dr. Pei wants isn't money.

You must know that.

What do I know?

All I know is that besides money,

I have nothing else to give to others.

Then tell me.

What can I give her?

Commitment.

Commitment?

I'm an orphan.

I've got no roots and no family.

I even used to be a mercenary.

Living day by day without a future.

Commitment...

Commitment is the one thing I can't afford to give.

If she wants commitment,

she's really got the wrong person.

So maybe it's for the best that she didn't show up for this date.

Is that so?

You knew Dr. Pei wouldn't come,

yet you still waited here alone until closing time.

You knew joining the special forces wouldn't pay well,

and you could die at any time,

yet you still stayed and became the captain.

You never promised Rina to take care of me,

yet every time we go on a mission,

you shield me from danger,

fearing that I might die before you.

Tell me,

what are all these?

It's not that you don't like commitments.

You just like to say one thing and do another.

♫Butterflies♫

Do you want to die?

♫Flying free♫

♫Tell the story♫

♫Dancing in the rain♫

Yeah.

♫Butterflies♫

It's not too late for you to kill me

♫Hiding from the world♫

when you can walk again.

♫Never feel alone♫

♫Never let her go♫

Ran.

I'll go see a friend first.

Wait for me here with Ben.

I'll be back soon.

Okay.

Song Ran.

Xiaonan.

You're here to see Benjamin?

Yes.

That's perfect.

Please take this medicine to him for me

and tell him to take it in one dose.

What about you?

I still have a few patients to check on.

Thanks.

Come in, please.

Song?

How are you?

Are you feeling better?

The war is already over.

Why are you still doing a nurse's job?

Are you thinking of changing your career?

Dr. Pei asked me to bring this to you.

Here. It's time to take your medicine.

Where's Sasin?

Why isn't he here taking care of you?

This little injury is nothing.

Besides, every time he comes,

he always gets in the way.

If...

If a nurse comes to check on me

or change my dressing,

wouldn't he take advantage of it?

What about Zan?

Did you find him?

I heard from Sasin

that you went to the military camp to look for Zan.

He's here too.

He went to see a friend.

He'll be here shortly.

He's here too?

Did you two come together?

Ran.

Where's Zan?

Why's he still not here yet?

He should be here soon.

Zan.

Zan.

You've treated your wound?

Yes, it's been taken care of.

Who took care of it?

Ran.

Zan.

You've gone astray, haven't you?

Who taught you that?

Wasn't it you?

Sasin, you're here.

Shouldn't you be in the military camp,

sleeping soundly?

Why are you here again?

You seem to really enjoy taking care of me.

There's a mission.

We need to relocate.

Zan.

Do you want to relocate with the special forces?

I want to help Ben and the others more.

I...

Zan.

Just focus on doing what you want to do.

I saw it all.

You can help them a lot.

I also hope

you can see it through to the end.

I know you're here,

and you know I'm here.

That's enough.

Ran.

No matter where you relocate,

I'll come find you.

Okay.

You must be careful and stay safe.

However,

you need to promise me one thing.

Okay.

Go ahead.

What is it?

I haven't learned this game yet.

You have to teach me.

Didn't I already teach you last time?

That doesn't count.

You weren't teaching me,

but that little girl.

You need to make up for it this time.

Okay.

I'll stop laughing.

There's only one shot left.

Wait a second.

Try using this.

It might bring you good luck.

Here.

Use the method I taught you.

Use your wrist.

Give it a try.

Ben and the others are about to relocate.

You remember I told you

the reason why I came to Eastern Country, right?

You said

you were unlucky in love,

and you wanted a change of scenery.

It's a bit embarrassing to say it out loud.

My ex-boyfriend was a jerk.

I caught him cheating red-handed.

In a fit of anger, I signed up to be a volunteer

and came to Eastern Country.

Then I swore

I'd never trust men's words again

and never be fooled by sweet talk anymore.

This time,

I really wasn't fooled by sweet talk.

That should have been a relief,

but why do I feel so bad?

I even wish he would say something to deceive me.

Tell me,

do I deserve to be treated like trash?

Actually,

I don't know Benjamin very well either.

I should say, about him,

other than knowing

that he was once a mercenary,

I know nothing else.

He seems to never talk

about himself.

Now that you mention it,

I feel like I'm just like you,

knowing nothing about him.

But

falling in love with someone

doesn't necessarily require knowing them well.

When I fell for Zan,

I didn't even know his name.

I didn't expect you to be even crazier than me.

I just think that when it comes to love,

it's best to follow your heart.

Sometimes,

what we see with our own eyes

or hear with our own ears isn't reliable, either.

Under the current circumstances in Eastern Country,

everyone has their own difficulties and concerns.

Give it some more time.

Everything will become clear eventually.

You're right.

Anyway, he's paid for another

three months in Vinyl for me.

That's enough time for me to think things through.

Temporarily leaving Uglai,

with reluctance in my heart.

[Mom]

Mom.

So you still remember you have a mom.

You only called to let me know you were safe

when you arrived in Eastern Country.

Since then,

the only way I could only know what you're up to

is from your social media updates.

But my secretary

receives your check-in calls every few days.

Wasn't it you who asked me

not to bother you unless it's something important?

Your skill at blame shifting

has certainly improved.

Mom.

I missed you.

It seems you've made up with Li Zan.

Yes.

But that's not the reason.

I-

Alright.

I surrender.

Ran.

No matter how old you are

and how capable you become,

you'll always be my daughter.

How could I not know what you're thinking?

I missed you too.

Take care of yourself.

Song.

Are you really Song?

The Song who took "Candy"?

How do you know?

I have my ways.

My god.

It took me so long to realize.

Can we take a picture together?

Of course.

Are you leaving?

Where? Let me give you a ride.

The place I'm going this time is very far away.

You can't take me there.

Are you looking down on me

or on it?

Neither.

I won't charge you.

If I could be your chauffeur,

I could brag about it for the rest of my life.

Please.

Please.

Okay then.

But you have to promise me two things.

One, I must pay.

And two, you have to take my car.

Okay, no problem.

Whatever you say, ma'am.

You already know my name is Song,

so don't call me ma'am.

Call me Song.

Okay, no problem.

Song.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Zan!

Ran.

Go.

You're here.

You told me your departure time.

I thought I could still make it,

so I came to see you off.

Luckily, I made it in time.

Wipe your sweat.

Look.

Is that his girlfriend?

Where are you going this time?

Can you tell me?

I can.

This transfer isn't a secret mission.

Last time in Matuman, Ark managed to escape.

We just received reliable intelligence.

This time, he really fled back to Happo.

So we're also going to Happo this time.

That's great.

I'm also going to Happo to see Shen Bei.

What a coincidence.

Then we'll be able to meet soon again this time.

How are you going to Happo?

Are you going alone?

Don't worry.

There's someone to protect me.

You should go now.

Don't keep everyone waiting.

I'm leaving.

Zan.

Your car has been requisitioned.

Song, rest assured.

I'll keep an eye on Zan for you.

You?

You'd better take care of yourself first.

Zan.

I think you should give Song a kiss goodbye.

You don't have a girl to kiss goodbye,

yet you're saying this kind of thing.

You just enjoy others' PDA, don't you?

I'm leaving.

Zan.

Song, you're really something.

Be careful.

Be careful.

We're leaving.

Stop looking. Let's go.

He's so handsome.

Your boyfriend.

Boyfriend.

Is he a special forces soldier?

No.

He's a demining volunteer.

Demining?

Can he teach me?

When we arrive in Happo,

you can ask him yourself.

Are they also going to Happo?

That's great.

Let's get going too.

We need to make a run to the hospital first.

I forgot something yesterday.

Also,

we can't follow them.

We still need to take some photos along the way.

Oh, right.

You're right.

Excuse me.

Where is that soldier?

He's helping us move stuff.

His condition is much better recently.

He said he wanted to do something

in case of being useless.

Thank you.

Are you...

Li's girlfriend?

How do you know that?

He has the same one.

He told me it's from his girlfriend.

May I ask,

when did he say that?

In Matuman.

So he really never wanted to break up with me.

He's always considered me his girlfriend in his heart.

Sorry.

I shouldn't ask.

I...

You don't need to say sorry.

But you make me think about him again,

so...

I need to go.

You can wait for him right over here.

Okay.

Bye.

It's your song

for Matuman's heroes,

right?

I believe everything will be fine,

both for you and your country.

Song, what is he listening to?

Guess.

No need to guess. I know.

He's listening to the Song of Matuman.

Let's go.

I can't wait.

Okay.

Shen Bei.

I'm on my way to Happo.

We'll meet soon.

♫In this desert♫

♫Let every wish fly with strength♫

♫Fly♫

♫In your eyes♫

♫Let every light and warmth fly♫

♫Fly♫

♫Fly to every corner of the world♫

♫Let love take root freely♫

♫Sprout and grow♫

♫Can I make a wish?♫

♫That there's no sadness under every ray of sunshine♫

♫Can I make a wish?♫

♫For every story in spring to bloom♫

♫Blossom and travel far♫

Song,

you drive.

What's this?

My dad.

It's his ashes.

He's never traveled

out of Uglai.

So I took him with me

to scatter some of his ashes along the way.

He'd be happy.

He's been scattering

his dad's ashes along the way?

I can't believe I didn't notice.

The people here

always give me unexpected experiences.

Your wound is healing quite fast.

With my physical condition,

this is just a scratch.

I could have been limping around long ago.

Give this to Sasin for me later.

He's going to the orphanage.

These are the blueprints Shen Bei requested.

Sasin

should be back soon after his shower.

You can't even wait a little longer?

What's the rush?

Is Song here?

No.

I have a class to teach at the Happo demining team.

Ran will be here soon.

I also want to

reserve some time for her.

I'm off.

Zan.

You and Song are the best

and the most selfless people I've ever met.

There are many things we can't change.

Just do your best.

You...

Don't be too hard on yourself.

I know.

Thank you, Ben.

What are you looking at?

The blueprints from Zan to the orphanage.

Take them to Shen Bei later.

Can you understand them?

I can't.

But I can tell

these must have been difficult to draw.

I wonder when Zan drew them.

It's only at times like this that I remember

he's a trained architectural engineer.

He's been with us for so long that

I almost think of him as one of us.

Zan has a certain toughness about him that makes him

look very much like a soldier.

But not a soldier like you.

What kind of soldier am I?

You're the kind who pretends to be sick when you're not,

tricking others into taking care of you.

You...

How did you know?

When we were in Uglai,

I asked Dr. Pei.

Your wound would be fine after getting stitches.

All these bandages on your leg

are completely useless.

You insisted on wearing them yourself.

Then why have you been

pretending to be dumb and taking care of me all this time?

Did you lose your mind,

or do you just enjoy serving me?

After all, you saved my life.

Consider this as me repaying the favor.

As of today, we're even.

Please take care of yourself from tomorrow on.

Turn left ahead,

and you'll see the orphanage.

I know what you mean.

Maybe the trimmer arch can use a harder one.

And this part...

Shen Bei.

Song Ran.

Good morning, Zan.

Good morning.

I've arrived in Happo.

I'm at Shen Bei's orphanage.

Ran.

I'm sorry.

I was just teaching a demining class.

I only saw my phone after the class ended.

It's okay.

I had a fulfilling day here.

Instructor Li.

You've finally shown up.

Ran.

Before you came,

Instructor Li hadn't been here even once.

Even the blueprints

were brought by Sasin.

He must have been very busy then.

Yes, I was indeed very busy.

I apologize, Ms. Shen.

Today,

I finally understand what it means to be a harmonious couple.

Instructor Li.

Please take Ms. Song away quickly.

If you stay any longer,

I might just get so jealous that I'll spit blood.

Alright.

I'll take Ran to have dinner first.

If you still have something to do later,

I'll bring Ran back.

No need.

I don't want to be the bad guy.

Song Ran, let's get in touch tomorrow.

Okay.

Shen Bei.

Could you tell Jose for me

to take my luggage and bag

to the hotel?

I'm staying at the same one as last time.

Alright, I got it.

Let's go.

Are you tired?
