(Orthopedics Clinic 1) My arm

is completely healed.

It's even more flexible than before.

- Look. - Enough.

Be careful

not to lift anything heavy for three months.

- Got it. - Or you'll risk habitual dislocation.

- Okay. - Yiming.

Let's go for food.

Okay, go ahead.

It's already mealtime.

- Will you...? - Okay, let's eat.

I heard your canteen

has great food.

Alright, let's go.

Wenjin, over here.

Come sit with us.

Come on.

You don't know her, right?

- Alright. - Thanks.

Let me introduce you.

Yu Yiming, your senior.

An orthopedic PhD two years above you.

- Hello, senior. - Hi.

Xu Wenjin, your junior.

Neurosurgery PhD.

Top scorer in Shandong.

Impressive. Nice to meet you.

Me too.

Guo, stop bringing up ancient history.

Don't be modest.

Right after

her graduation,

Wenjin got invited by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

to a three-year cancer research project.

I'm so jealous.

Dig in. Should I get you some soup?

No need, this is enough.

Which department are you from?

I'm not staff here.

She's my high school classmate Qiao Lin.

She happened to

get my appointment

- by chance. - What a coincidence.

What do you do?

I sell cosmetics at a mall.

She just came to Jingzhou alone.

She's gaining experience

for her career.

I like makeup, too.

But I think

makeup requires skill just like surgery.

Every morning, I try

to learn from tutorial videos,

but I never get it right.

Why don't you visit my store?

- I can do your makeup. - Sounds great.

I'll customize makeup based on

your skin type and tone,

and your facial features.

Let me add you on WeChat.

Come find me at the store.

Alright.

- Shall we do the same? - Sure.

Okay.

I'll add you.

Alright.

Senior, let me add you too.

Okay.

Qiao Lin.

I sent the request.

Okay.

Thanks.

Dig in.

Alright.

(Conan)

Do you want to watch TV

or play games?

Play games.

Alright,

but only thirty minutes.

- Deal? - Deal.

Okay.

Let me show you something first.

Look.

See?

You took these?

(Junlong Equestrian)

You look really cool

when riding,

especially when you jump obstacles.

You look almost like Hua Tian.

You know Hua Tian?

Of course, I do.

He's your favorite equestrian athlete.

He won

the individual champion in show jumping

and the team champion

in the event.

Listen.

You can ask the coach

to record videos

during your future training.

Then, you'll know

your weaknesses

and exactly what to work on.

Look carefully.

Then you can play games.

I'll keep taking photos.

Okay.

Look at this move.

Cool, huh?

Check out the horse.

What about the horse?

(Hospital)

How is he?

He fell asleep after the IV.

Are you working?

I need to tell you something

important.

I didn't want to worry

your parents.

But Haochen

fell from the horse on purpose.

What do you mean?

Why would he do that?

I think

he was trying to seek attention

from his family.

I've been observing Haochen.

Whenever he's with

you or your parents,

he's extremely happy.

But when you're gone,

he gets very upset.

But he shouldn't hurt himself.

How would a child know

the right way to cope?

I have a friend.

She told me that

due to family hardships,

she was sent away

for foster care

when she was young.

Though they brought her home later,

she still struggled to get

the love and companionship she needed.

What's wrong?

Dad, Mom.

What?

Come here.

My hand.

You're hurt?

Get a Band-Aid.

Band-Aid.

Come on.

Right here.

Put it on.

Careful.

Careful.

Any other injuries?

Anywhere else?

Do your legs hurt?

Easy now.

Sweetheart.

Take it slow.

They say

a happy childhood

can heal you for a lifetime.

But an unhappy one

takes a lifetime to heal.

That's why I believe

no material comforts

can replace family love and presence.

Right?

Haochen's too young.

Can't we ask

your parents to reconsider

sending him abroad?

Okay, let's do as you say.

Thank you for caring for him.

I'll go to the office early tomorrow

and get the work done.

Let's spend more time with him.

Alright.

Stay here with Haochen.

I'll fetch some clothes.

Okay, go ahead.

I'll head back now.

Bye.

Qiao Lin, you're up next.

Alright.

Your sales performance is good.

You achieved the top regional ranking so soon.

It's remarkable.

Plus, the neo-Chinese-style makeup

you did for clients

went viral online

with great reviews.

It benefits our brand image.

We're promoting a salesperson

from the store to the headquarters'

sales team.

You're on the shortlist.

Thank you for the recognition.

I genuinely love this industry,

especially when

the customers like the makeup I've done.

Their happiness

makes me happy too.

Who do you think should get the last spot?

Qiao Lin might be alright.

Qiao Lin.

That girl's decent.

But her education level is too low.

What a shame.

Let's stick to the standards.

Alright.

Education level.

(Interview result: Failed)

What's wrong? Did you get eliminated?

You know what?

This industry keeps

getting more competitive.

My cousin graduated

from a world-renowned university,

but started as a sales associate.

So forget about it.

You've already ordered?

Well,

I invited you for food,

but I'm late.

Sorry.

No worries.

Let's eat.

Okay.

You bought a new laptop?

It's for work?

The trends are changing

way too fast.

I bought it to study

and gather

information on

the latest makeup styles.

Plus, I want to continue my education.

I want to enroll in adult education

to improve my qualifications.

Sounds great.

I fully

support you.

Don't rush to say that.

I'm just having

this idea.

But I haven't decided on a major

or anything.

That's why I wanted

to talk with you.

Alright,

tell me.

What's on your mind?

Well, currently,

I'm just doing sales.

A relevant major

would be marketing.

I want to join adult education.

It's not so easy to graduate

from those programs.

So I was thinking,

even if I choose a major I like,

the courses I'm weak in

could still become

obstacles, right?

That's why I thought

that maybe

you could tutor me in math

and help me catch up.

Please don't say no.

Please please.

No one else will help me but you.

I'm begging you.

I'm begging you.

- Please. - Alright.

But I might not

be a good teacher.

You'll be the best.

Mr. Yu, cheers.

(Jingzhou Yuekang Hospital)

Have some breakfast.

Your brother will come

after the meeting.

He promised.

And he visited last night.

He bought you this. You like it, huh?

Play later.

Thank you, sis-in-law.

You're welcome.

Did...

Did you just

call me "sis-in-law"?

Sis-in-law.

Well,

I was rude yesterday.

Sorry about that.

Good kid for admitting mistakes.

You're forgiven.

Sis-in-law forgives you.

Want some soy milk?

I-I'll do it.

Wipe it.

Hands.

Sis-in-law.

You said you could keep me from going abroad.

Is that true?

Of course, it's true.

Would I lie to you?

But you must listen to me.

Okay.

Have an egg.

What's wrong?

Here.

I've brought you the iPad.

And I renewed your membership.

Let's go.

Rest your eyes.

Protect your eyesight.

Call me if you need anything.

Yeah, we're leaving.

- Dad... - Yan, take care of him.

- Dad... - Call us.

Mom, Dad.

Wait a minute.

What's wrong? Do you need something?

Can you stay with Haochen today?

We have meetings.

But Haochen is getting

even more upset.

We must take it seriously.

Yeah, I've noticed.

We're making time to visit him.

We brought his iPad, but that kid barely

speaks to us.

Kids are rebellious

- during puberty. - Yeah.

Take a look

at Haochen's drawing.

- What's this? - My Mom and Dad.

(My Mom and Dad) Well done.

Our heads are smartphones.

Our child has remarkable creativity.

I'd give him five stars if I were his art teacher.

This is what Haochen thinks of you.

This is Haochen

when he's alone.

Is this healthy?

He has always lacked companionship.

The person who spent the most time with him

was the nanny.

You're busy. Haoming's busy.

You spent more time

on your phones than with Haochen.

He does have many years ahead of him.

But childhood is short.

Haochen doesn't really

want his iPad or smartphone.

He wants what's most precious

to you.

Your time.

So I'm asking you to stay

and keep him company

for just one day.

Mom, Dad, Haochen, food is ready.

Go ahead.

Yeah, go ahead.

We're watching the match.

A pity, huh?

One question for you.

Why did I make you learn equestrian?

You know what?

I've chosen an excellent school for you.

This school offers eleven sports.

Equestrian ranks first.

Equestrian is a graceful sport.

If you master equestrian skills

before entering this school,

you've already gained an advantage.

Have it.

Thank you.

I won't drive you back today.

Okay.

It's red, your favorite.

It's for you.

Why?

To congratulate you.

Your financial news broadcasts have been so well-received this week.

Given your current status,

having a car makes a statement.

Also,

Haochen has been spoiled

ever since he was born.

His temper

grew worse and worse.

Even the formidable Ms. Yu

couldn't handle him.

I never expected

you'd get along so well with him.

I can sense that

he genuinely likes you.

And he got badly injured.

He's been discharged early

thanks to you.

Haochen is your brother.

We're family.

It's only natural for us

to care for each other.

You don't have to buy me gifts

whenever I do something.

You've done a great job.

You deserve a reward.

Because I appreciate it.

You're a typical boss.

Your expression of emotions

has become transactional.

I just want to give you

the life you want.

You are all I want.

See you.

(Zhou Zeyuan) (Let's meet.)

These are my company's

financial reports.

Here are the ongoing

(Projects) R&D Projects.

Here's the project proposal.

All here.

I came to tell you

that your collaboration

with my husband

won't happen.

Why not?

I work in journalism

and conduct investigations.

All your employees here

are hired actors.

This whole company is just a front

to scam money from investors.

So I'm sure

you don't have any real operations.

I'm not surprised

you saw through this. You know better about

hiring actors.

What do you mean?

Your parents aren't actually abroad.

They live in a small town.

When they came

to visit you in Jingzhou,

you treated them coldly.

They left quickly.

I met them briefly then.

I don't have many strengths

except a good memory.

Don't bother forming

a strategy.

I never intended

to destroy

what you've achieved.

My company needs funding.

You married into wealth.

Helping me

would be effortless for you.

Zeyuan,

I still remember

that you told me

to be honest on resumes

and that I must

walk in the light.

So I don't understand

why you've become

like this now.

Then why did you hide

your family background?

Why would you

hide your real parents

in the dark?

I saw your wedding photo

at Ms. Ma's place.

Those fake parents of yours

do look like educated elites.

But I get it.

Without these glamorous facades,

every step we take would be harder.

We've both struggled.

I bet you know this.

No matter how hard

you try, some things

don't change.

Those of us who come from nothing

need to dress ourselves

in noble disguises.

Since we're the same,

let's help each other.

Yan.

You're finally back.

What's wrong, Mom?

Haochen's birthday is early next month.

How should we celebrate it?

You can decide.

I asked him, but he wouldn't talk.

I can't handle this kid.

He likes you. He'll like whatever you do for him.

Let me think.

Ms. Ma is bringing a friend tomorrow.

She's so picky.

I have no idea

what to cook for her.

Help me.

Ms. Ma likes shrimp.

Maybe I'll make her

shrimp with black truffle oil.

- How's that? - Perfect.

And she's dieting.

I'll keep the dishes low-calorie.

Rest assured.

I know I can count on you.

Hui said she needs you in the kitchen.

- I'll go then. - Go ahead.

- What's wrong, Hui? - Yan.

How should I cook these tonight?

Steam the rainbow trout.

Haochen has been coughing.

Skip the seafood. It's inflammatory.

Replace them with vegetarian dishes.

Okay.

Did the fruits I ordered arrive?

I washed and refrigerated them.

Alright, I'm heading back then.

Yan.

I may need a day off tomorrow

for personal matters.

But Ms. Yu needs help hosting guests tomorrow.

Go ahead. I'll handle it.

Really?

With you here, I'm completely at ease.

They all love your cooking.

Only because you help me.

Yan.

You seem

different from before.

How so?

Now, you look

like the lady of the house.

♪I was lost in the dark, and it's too hurt to even see♪

I'm leaving.

♪See the world and how it flows. We never let go♪

(Jingzhou Yuekang Hospital)

You want to take on patient No. 38's

spine correction surgery?

Yes, sir.

Type 1 neurofibromatosis with scoliosis.

This surgery requires extreme precision.

Any mistake could cause lifelong paralysis.

And the patient's young.

It's very challenging.

I understand.

My plan is to conduct

multiple staged surgeries

to minimize risks.

Of course,

we'll monitor

the patient's tolerance responses

during the operation.

Of course, I know

the family has concerns.

We'll handle pre-op communication carefully.

Okay.

Your suggestions are noted.

I'll discuss with the higher-ups.

Alright.

Thank you, sir.

This is a bit spicy.

Not at all.

It's amazing.

Skewers.

Have it while it's hot.

Super crispy. That's why we came.

Okay.

Smells great.

What's her deal?

What's wrong?

Why are you silent?

You ordered this. Won't you eat?

This is good.

Dig in. Don't just watch me.

I shouldn't. I'm on a diet.

That's too much.

I'll gain 500 grams tomorrow.

Dig in. I'll be right back.

Yu Yiming.

You're alone?

Why are you here?

I came with my...

I'm just getting some skewers to go.

I...

I've never seen you drink.

I avoided drinking because of work.

Fine. Let me join you. Waiter. A dozen beers.

Mind your head. Oh my.

Here.

Have some water.

Well...

I bought you breakfast.

I overdrank because I was

overwhelmed with the surgery.

I do remember what happened

afterward.

You should have told me.

Forget about it.

N-Nothing happened.

Right?

You're pretty heavy, by the way.

Carrying you was exhausting.

Yeah, sorry about that.

It won't happen again.

It's fine. It can happen.

No, no.

That's not what I meant.

You're under too much stress.

Letting loose occasionally

is actually good for you.

This is good.

Yeah.

Have you spoken to your sister lately?

No.

She's happy that you're attending

adult college.

You've been updating her about me?

She asked me to look after you.

She could've told me herself.

You're quite similar.

Both stubborn.

You care about each other,

but can't sit down for a proper talk.

I wish you could open up to each other someday,

without a messenger like me.

It doesn't matter.

Spin.

Hide.

Run.

Can't find it.

Nice.

You ruined my dress.

Bu. Sweetie.

Fetch.

Where is it?

Ms. Yu is really nice.

Well done.

Come here.

Ms. Yu.

Tianzi.

What took you so long?

We've been waiting forever.

I'm slow getting ready.

Ms. Yu, meet my friend.

Zhou Zeyuan, Mr. Zhou.

He's a rising star in tech.

- Hello, Ms. Yu. - Hello.

Ms. Ma speaks highly of you.

Just call me Randy.

Randy.

This is

Ms. Yu's daughter-in-law, Xu Yan.

Ms. Ma.

Hello.

Hello, Miss Xu.

Hello.

Let's sit over there.

I prepared

your favorite tea.

Thank you, Ms. Yu.

No wonder you won't hang out with me.

You prefer a younger company now.

You know me best, Ms. Yu.

I just love

supporting

young entrepreneurs.

I met Randy at the venture forum, and we hit it off.

So I'm introducing him to you.

Randy, what exactly do you do?

Ms. Yu,

I work in new medical tech.

I empower medical systems

with cutting-edge tech,

making healthcare accessible

and streamlining doctors' work.

Ms. Yu,

this is the hottest field now.

Young people today

have talent

and drive.

They just need resources and chances.

Supporting them

benefits us too.

It's a win-win.

Ms. Yu,

if I'm not mistaken,

your outfit is from

that famous Italian designer,

Maygeogin, right?

Yeah, it's the new model they just released this year.

This designer debuted recently and is still niche.

Few people know about her.

How could you tell?

She held a fashion show in New York

when she graduated

from Parsons,

and we met there.

Her works have a strong and impressive

personal style.

I thought people in tech and the internet industries

weren't that interested in fashion.

But you're a connoisseur.

Mom, I'll get some hot water.

- Excuse me. - Okay.

Take your time.

You know, Ms. Yu.

Randy mainly works on tech,

but he has great connections.

He has many friends from

the fashion and art circles.

His taste is impeccable.

Miss Xu.

Where's the restroom?

Should I discuss with you

or your mother-in-law

about the investment?

Zhou Zeyuan.

Randy.

You're being naive.

Your business proposal

and financial statements

can't fool

my mother-in-law

or my husband.

Forget about getting investment.

Whether he invests

depends on how well you whisper

in his ear.

Besides, I'm only asking for a tiny investment from him.

He won't care about it.

What do you mean?

In this circle,

how much you get

isn't as important as

who you get it from.

A hundred thousand from a tycoon

is more valuable than

five million from some island chief.

For other investors,

who back you up

and endorse you,

is their primary criterion

to judge your potential.

That's why I never intended

to have your husband

make big investments.

You want to use his reputation

to attract more money, right?

It just hit me

how incredibly attractive

intelligent women look.

You're disgusting.

Let me make it clear.

No.

Xu Yan, you...

Qiao Yan.

This name makes us closer, doesn't it?

Don't tell me that

you genuinely

love Shen Haoming,

not his money, status,

or his family's influence.

I don't owe you explanations.

But you should know

everything you're doing now

is extortion and illegal.

Qiao Yan.

It's fascinating how much you're trying

to protect Shen Haoming.

You're actually love-struck.

Let me tell you the most ridiculous story

I've heard this year.

A common scammer married into wealth

not for money,

but for true love.

Isn't this more absurd than fairy tales...?

Thankfully, it's not burning.

The dry-cleaning bill

is included in the investment.

So smart.

Unbelievable.

Ms. Yu, really,

you've even trained Bu so well.

You're amazing.

I'm so clumsy.

I splashed water everywhere

when I washed my hands.

You're hilarious.

It's okay.

I'll have Yan bring

Haoming's clothes.

You can wear those.

- Sorry for the trouble. - Don't mention it.

Is Ms. Yu's faucet at home

too high-tech for you?

It's different from mine.

I got confused.

No worries.

- It's alright. - Okay, Mr. Shen.

Xu Yan.

Sorry. The traffic was terrible.

Mr. Shen, nice to meet you.

I'm Zhou Zeyuan, Xu Yan's friend.

Hello.

Are you dining here too?

Didn't Xu Yan inform you?

She invited me here.

I've been swamped

and forgot to tell you.

It's okay.

She said you'd be

having lunch here.

- So she invited me over. - Okay.

Mr. Shen, the dishes are ready.

- An extra table setting. - Yes, sir.
