[A Beautiful Lie]

Chubby,

[Eighteen years ago] Chubby,

[Eighteen years ago]

your mom came to see you at school, [Eighteen years ago]

but why are you dragging me here with you? [Eighteen years ago]

My mom doesn't allow me to play with you. [Eighteen years ago]

My mom doesn't allow me to play with you.

She says you hit children at school.

Kids who hit others are bad kids.

Well, well, Chubby.

Who saved you

when someone was chasing you to hit you?

It was I,

not your mom.

Tell me,

am I a bad kid?

So, tell me,

do you listen to your mom or to me?

I... I...

See? You can't answer, can you?

Well, then I'll make the choice for you.

You can listen to your mom

and stop playing with me.

As for me, I'll listen to my dad

and won't play with idiots like you.

Qin Xiaofei, wait for me!

I... I'll listen to you.

[Episode 29] [If my illness can't be cured, would you...

What are you doing?

He's the one cheating on you.

Why are you kicking me out?

I'll buy you a flight ticket for tomorrow morning.

Hurry and leave!

Tell your mother,

I can't serve a young master like you!

You think I...

I want to meddle in this?

You've hated me since we were kids.

The more I followed you around, the more annoyed you got.

Later on, you... you didn't even come home anymore.

I know.

You just hate me.

You hate that I took your mom away from you.

Why are you saying all this?

What does this have to do with you

taking someone else's phone?

Was I wrong to check his phone?

He has been in contact with that woman.

They even meet regularly every week,

right under your nose,

right in Huhai.

Instead of thanking me for helping you cut your losses in time,

you're scolding me.

Lu Yicheng,

who told you that just because they meet regularly,

it means something's going on between them?

Besides,

even if there is, so what?

What does it have to do with you?

Let me tell you,

your mom won't discipline you, but I will!

If you dare to hack someone's phone again,

I'll call the police and have you taken to the police station!

Got it?

You're just lovesick!

Enough.

He's young

and doesn't know any better.

Just teach him slowly over time.

Cheng,

I won't comment on whether what you did was right or wrong.

I do keep something from your sister.

And I do meet with Ge Wu every week,

who is "that woman" you mentioned.

But I will explain this matter clearly

to your sister.

It's not what you think.

Let's go out for a walk.

Have you been to Suman?

I've heard of it,

but I've never been there.

I have.

It was about five years ago.

When I was traveling,

I stayed there for a while.

Suman is actually a very interesting place.

There are many small markets there.

The people there are very warm

and love lively atmospheres

and bright colors.

In that place,

I met a little boy.

His name was Xiaojia.

Two dollars. Two dollars. Two dollars.

Two dollars. Two dollars. Two dollars.

Two dollars. Two dollars.

Okay.

Okay.

Three, two, one.

Take a picture of my friends, my friends.

Of course, come on, come on.

Come, come, come.

Okay.

Yes, yes, yes, come on.

Three, two, one, go!

Okay. Okay.

-Thank you. -Okay.

Chinese?

Yes.

Little fella,

you're very photogenic; look.

Brother,

you're Chinese too?

I haven't met a Chinese person in a long time.

Brother, come with me.

Where are we going?

I'll take you to see my mom.

Hurry, hurry!

Mom!

There's a Chinese friend here!

-Hello. -Hello.

Xiaojia,

are you being mischievous again?

So, your name is Xiaojia.

What a coincidence

to meet fellow Chinese here.

Brother,

what's your name?

Me?

My name is Xing Zhizhi.

Xing... Zhi...

What a tongue-twister of a name.

Oh, you.

Are you here on a trip?

I've just finished my internship,

so I wanted to travel around.

And I like Suman,

so I volunteered

at a hospital here for a while.

Brother,

you're a doctor?

Yes,

I heal and save people.

That's amazing.

Xiaojia,

you should study hard too.

So you can be like him in the future

and become a doctor who saves lives.

Oh, you.

Whenever studying is mentioned,

he becomes as quiet as a clam.

Xiaojia,

do you like cameras?

Can we take a picture together?

-Of course. -Okay.

Come on.

Three, two, one,

cheese!

Xiaojia!

Xiaojia! Xiaojia!

Xiaojia!

-Xiaojia. -Dr. Xing, please save my child.

I know.

-Xiaojia! -Save my child.

You're a doctor.

I beg you, please save my child.

Please save...

my...

child.

Xiaojia! Xiaojia!

Stay awake!

Stay awake!

Xiaojia, stay awake!

Xiaojia, wake up.

Don't sleep just yet; stay with me!

Xiaojia, Xiaojia!

Calm down. Calm down.

The shrapnel is lodged in his heart. It's too dangerous.

-Let's go! Go! -Calm down.

-Calm down! -Or it'll be too late.

Come on, go, go, go.

Xiaojia's mother saved my life.

But I couldn't fulfill her last wish.

Xiaojia's life

slipped away on my operating table...

in my hands.

It's not your fault.

I've been

trying so hard to tell myself,

to convince myself

that I really did my best.

To tell myself that what killed Xiaojia

was that bomb that made it impossible

for me to continue the surgery.

But the name "Xiaojia"

has still become a burden in my heart.

Since that time,

I haven't been able to hold a scalpel steadily.

So, you chose to come here...

to solve this problem.

My hands shake, and I can stop performing surgeries,

but...

Do you remember that traffic accident

before I left Huhai?

The car suddenly swerved,

not because I was too tired

nor was there a mechanical malfunction,

but because I saw Xiaojia.

Xiaojia is still alive?

I don't know.

But I'm certain that what I saw that day

wasn't the real Xiaojia.

It was a hallucination.

Qin Fei.

I'm sick.

Since I saw Xiaojia again

at the welfare home

five years ago,

I've been sick.

What about medication?

Medication can relieve it, right?

Most medications

can only relieve my symptoms.

Once I stop taking them,

the symptoms worsen.

Ge Wu thinks the triggers

for my worsening condition

are all related to performing surgeries.

She wants me to try to see

if completely leaving the hospital environment

could make Xiaojia stop appearing.

If that's really the case,

then I wouldn't need treatment anymore.

I just have to leave the hospital forever.

I've told you everything you wanted to know.

But...

But, actually, I've always had a question that I wanted to ask you.

If...

if my illness can't be cured...

would you...

No.

That still wouldn't stop me from being angry with you.

Do you know why?

Because I lied to you.

And?

Xing Zhizhi.

You told me before

that if there was a problem,

we should solve it together

and trust each other.

But look at what you did.

When you had a problem, you ran away by yourself,

leaving me there.

You even lied to Xixi, saying you were giving me a surprise.

Do I look surprised now?

Cat got your tongue again?

Xiaofei,

I wanted to apologize to you,

but I...

I was afraid that if I said it, you'd get angry again.

Just talking about your mistakes isn't enough.

You need to make up for them with actions.

How can I make it up to you?

Well, I brought the review materials with me anyway.

♫Star in your eyes♫ Well, I brought the review materials with me anyway.

♫Star in your eyes♫

Since you're free, ♫Star in your eyes♫

Since you're free,

you can help me review.

♫And I feel so blue♫ you can help me review.

♫And I feel so blue♫

Dr. Xing, ♫And I feel so blue♫

Dr. Xing,

from now on,

I will think of every possible way

♫The wind of missing is blowing towards me♫ I will think of every possible way

♫The wind of missing is blowing towards me♫

to boss you around. ♫The wind of missing is blowing towards me♫

You won't have a moment of peace. ♫The wind of missing is blowing towards me♫

♫The wind of missing is blowing towards me♫

Are you ready for that, ♫The wind of missing is blowing towards me♫

Are you ready for that,

Chubby?

♫Suddenly going up, suddenly going down♫

♫Suddenly at the end of my sight♫

The projector is broken.

Aren't you good?

Fix it.

My sister wants to kick me out.

I'm not in the mood.

Serves you right.

Ms. Ge Wu is a psychologist.

She treated me before as well.

Mr. Xing must have some serious business with her.

It's definitely not about cheating, like you claimed.

Well, I don't know that woman

is Xing Zhizhi's...

Yes.

Xing Zhizhi doesn't cheat on Fei.

You're right to scold me.

I'm the bad guy.

I deserve to be disliked.

You don't have to push me to leave.

I'll buy my own ticket.

I'll leave tomorrow.

Tell your Mr. Xing Zhizhi

that I'm sorry.

Don't worry.

I can guarantee

that your sister won't let you leave.

Really?

Really.

You two are indeed siblings.

Even your way of being stubborn is the same.

Of course.

We're siblings by blood.

Xiaoxiao?

What's wrong? You didn't even turn on the lights.

What's the matter?

Qin Fei,

do you know?

Something big has happened.

You mean that matter with Cheng earlier?

I'm sorry, but I've taken care of it.

No, you don't know.

It's Liu Yanze.

He's gone crazy.

He just grabbed me and said

that he had come this time to...

get back together with me.

Isn't that normal?

What else would he be here for?

To pick grapes?

You don't know him.

At first, I thought

even if he came to ask me to get back together with me this time,

he wouldn't say it so quickly.

But who knows?

He's gone insane.

So?

So...

So...

should I have just agreed to it directly?

Agree, my foot!

And here I thought you had some sense.

I thought you wanted to discuss

how to give him a hard time.

But you, my dear,

you're ready to agree right away.

I don't even know how to respond to that.

Luo Xiaoxiao, I really can't understand.

You're an aloof movie queen,

an artistic goddess.

How could you let someone like Liu Yanze

have you wrapped around his finger?

He says let's get together, and you're on board, and it's over when he says it's over.

What about you?

Don't you have any feelings?

You just accept whatever he does?

I'm not really targeting him specifically,

but for your own good,

we should at least test him a bit, right?

But he has finally agreed to get back together.

What if he changes his mind again after being tested?

Then would you really want a man like that?

At the very least,

has he apologized to you?

He hasn't apologized, and you're thinking of agreeing.

I think you're being stupid.

Then what should I do?

You need to stick to one principle:

don't give in easily.

Ignore him for now.

Keep him hanging.

The retired female celebrity is assaulting people!

[Yunzhong Guesthouse]

Cheng,

eat slowly.

Slowly?

Stay here to annoy you?

I'm telling you,

I'll leave as soon as I finish eating.

One of you

drive me to the station later.

Sorry,

no one's free to take you.

Then what should I do about it?

I can't walk back, can I?

Did I say you could leave?

What do you mean by that?

After the investment fair is over,

Xixi's family's grapes need to be

picked according to the orders.

We'll be short-handed.

Your sister means

to have you stay and help out.

Fei,

you're not going to kick me out?

It's not that I'm not kicking you out.

I'm just planning

to squeeze out your last bit of labor

before letting you go.

Thank you, Fei.

Where's the chili sauce?

Here it is, Fei. Here you go.

[Guide Garden]

Xiaoxiao, come over for breakfast.

-Morning. -Morning.

Excuse me, coming through.

Morning.

Morning.

Let's eat.

We're at F now.

Let's start with the easy ones.

I can't do it.

Think carefully.

They all begin with F.

Think harder.

What are you spacing out for?

Let me teach you.

This is "kiss,"

K-I-S-S.

One point for me.

That doesn't even count.

Focus on your dictation.

It means sincerity. Think about it carefully.

I don't know. I can't remember.

Captain Liu!

Where are you going?

What are you going to do?

I...

You're going to give this to Xiaoxiao?

I'm thirsty. Let me drink this.

Sure.

You can take it back and drink it.

Slow down.

Thanks.

Bye.

That thirsty?

Come on, let's continue.

Xiaofei.

About Ze and Xiaoxiao,

just let them sort it out themselves, okay?

It's not easy for him.

Don't make it hard for him.

Xing Zhizhi,

do you have some misunderstandings about me?

Am I making it hard for him?

I'm actually giving him opportunities

to show his sincerity

to Xiaoxiao.

Sincerity?

Fess, F-E-S-S.

[Fair; Fess] Fess, F-E-S-S.

[Fair; Fess]

That means confession or admission.

Dr. Xing,

tell me honestly then.

You can't live without me, right?

You want me to tell you honestly?

You didn't pass your dictation.

You need to study for an additional half hour

and retake the quiz at night.

How could you be so cold-hearted?

Quiz, quiz.

Fess? Fess my foot.

[Guide Garden]

[No Cleaning Needed]

[No Cleaning Needed]

Xiaoxiao, let's go.

This is for Xiaoxiao, right?

I'll help you give it to her.

Xing.

-I... -The noodles you made...

has vegetables and meat.

It's loaded with ingredients,

but the taste is just average.

Come on, let's have a drink.

Xing.

You and Qin Fei

kind of have made up, right?

What do you mean? Why are you asking this?

What exactly do you mean?

You...

Xiaoxiao.

We're in totally different situations.

Yours is way more serious than mine.

You've just realized it now,

wanting to get her back, huh?

Alright, you.

Stop gloating.

Let's be serious.

Help me take care of someone.

Who? Your Xiaoxiao?

Your Qin Fei.

What do you mean by that?

Let me finish.

I've figured it out.

If I want to have a proper conversation

with my Xiaoxiao,

I need to deal with your Qin Fei first.

Ze.

Xiaofei is standing up for her best friend.

There's nothing wrong with that, right?

Not to mention her,

but even if it were me.

You ask for my help,

but don't you need to give me a clear answer first?

There's no turning back once you start.

If you can't make up your mind

to be responsible for her for a lifetime,

I can't help you with this; understand?

Bro,

if I hadn't made up my mind,

why would I waste my time talking about this with you here today?

Really?

Alright, I got it.

You were acting?

You had me fooled.

I was wondering why you were so serious.

How did you become like this now?

So I finally have to come to you for a favor, huh?

Cheers again, come on!

Faith,

F-A-I-T-H,

faith!

Xing Zhizhi? Xing Zhizhi!

What's wrong?

Is there a power outage?

My hair dryer isn't working.

Maybe the main switch is broken.

Come on, come with me.

Why should I go with you?

I don't know how to repair anything.

How much longer until it's fixed?

Soon, soon, it'll be fixed soon.

You've been at it for a while now.

You've tried all of these above

but haven't tried the ones below yet.

Okay, okay, okay.

I'll try. I'll try.

Do you remember when we were kids,

we were in the storage room at school?

It was just like this.

You used to complain that I was crowding you.

Still feel crowded now?

Why would I complain about you crowding me now?

You were quite chubby back then.

Why are you suddenly getting nostalgic?

It's not like you.

How come? This isn't working either.

No response at all.

I think you're still not fixing it right.

It shouldn't be.

There... there is no response.

Doesn't that mean there's electricity?

It's glow-in-the-dark.

It's supposed to be like this.

Xing Zhizhi,

you deliberately dragged me here, did you?

No, I didn't.

I'm going to find Xiaoxiao.

Xiaofei.

Give them some space,

okay?

Besides,

I've been missing you.

♫You, ashen-gray with gaze downcast♫

♫Amid all the shadows, you're the only one I see♫

♫I never told you♫

♫I've never been so firm♫

♫You're the one♫

♫Longing for you to become the air I breathe♫

♫Thinking of you might give me the courage♫

♫To softly say that I miss you♫

Qin Fei? Qin Fei?

Xiaoxiao,

I know you're mad at me.

When I said I didn't love you before,

it was just out of spite.

There's nothing going on between Li Xue and me.

It's not what you think.

If you're willing,

I'm just outside the door.

Could you give me a few minutes?

Xiaoxiao,

I know you can hear me.

Just a few minutes,

and then I'll leave.

Actually, all these years,

I haven't gone a single moment without thinking about you.

Do you remember once

that I finally mustered the courage to message you?

But the next second, I got a mission call from the team.

I thought

maybe it was heaven's way of telling me not to bother you.

All these years,

I don't know why,

but every time I see you,

I get nervous...

scared...

timid,

and hesitant.

Later,

I saw you with Chen Shen.

You looked happy.

I was jealous,

so I spoke without thinking.

I thought you two would be happy together,

but later I found out that you weren't.

Xiaoxiao,

could you give me a chance?

I really don't want to lose you again.

Xiaoxiao.

[Huhai Commercial Bank]

This... [Huhai Commercial Bank]

This...

is my bank card.

It has all my savings.

And this.

[People's Republic of China; Real Property Certificate] And this.

[People's Republic of China; Real Property Certificate]

This is for that little place

that we rented together back then.

That place kept me going

all these years.

I finally saved enough money to buy it.

Of course,

it may not be

as big as the place you're living in now.

-And not as nice as your place. -Liu Yanze.

You know...

This isn't what I want.

The reasons.

Why you disappeared.

Why every time I tried to get close to you,

you kept pushing me away.

Liu Yanze,

if you really want to make it up for me,

start by explaining these reasons.

Xiaoxiao.

That's all in the past.

Could we

just start fresh

and put all that behind us?

Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, listen to me.

Liu Yanze, are you done yet?

You want us to get back together,

but you won't even tell me

the reason why we broke up at that time.

What is this supposed to be?

What am I to you?

Is only what you need important,

and mine doesn't matter?

Is that how it is?

Say something!

Are you mute? Are you a wall?

Because I felt that I wasn't good enough for you.

I felt inferior.

Xiaoxiao.

We were together for so long,

but in front of others,

you could only say I was your cousin.

If I wanted to be with you,

I had to put aside all my pride.

I couldn't accept it back then.

But now, I understand.

Even if I can never be your equal,

it doesn't matter.

To be with you...

I can follow behind you

and just be that lousy bodyguard everyone talks about.

So be it.

You're all that matters.

Honey, what can I say about you?

We agreed that you'd play the tough one and I'd play the nice one.

Why do you become so foolish when you get there?

Where did all that energy you usually have for yelling at me go?

Am I the one yelling, or are you?

Endless yelling.

What's going on?

I gave a fair price,

not a penny more nor a penny less, right?

With grapes as good as ours,

how could we worry about selling them?

How could we possibly not?

As soon as the big boss heard the price,

he didn't say a word.

If I hadn't begged and pleaded,

they would have left long ago.

They said there would be many big clients at this trade fair.

I thought all of our grapes would be bought up.

But in the end, only one came,

and he didn't even want to sign a single contract with us.

Our grapes are so good.

How could no one want them?

They are good,

but there are just too many.

Many farmers have switched to growing grapes now.

Like us, every household

has switched to cultivating grapes.

There are so many

that we can't even finish picking them all.

With so much around, prices go down.

Last year, it was a hundred yuan.

This year it's only...

Twenty yuan.

And even that's considered expensive.

How can anyone afford to sell at this price?

At this rate,

even if I sold all the grapes from my entire yard,

it still wouldn't be enough to cover the mortgage on these few rooms.

What should we do then?

Honey,

how about this?

Tomorrow,

let's invite the big boss to our home.

We'll

treat him to a nice meal.

Maybe we can work out a good price and at least break even.

Will it work?

Why wouldn't it?

I'll ask Mr. Xing and Ms. Qin to come along tomorrow.

They've seen more of the world.

They'll surely help us get a good price.

You need to be more steady.

[Guide Garden]

[Huhai Commercial Bank]

[Yunzhong Guesthouse]

Dr. Xing

and Ms. Qin said

that they still have to make more dishes.

When they arrive,

let's sit down and chat first.

Okay, thank you, Aunt.

Mr. Wang, we've been waiting for you for a long time.

We were afraid you wouldn't come.

Mr. Wang is here!

Mr. Wang, please take the seat of honor!

Miss Luo is here too?

Fate keeps bringing us together; there's no stopping it.

Yunzhong Guesthouse.

This is really a nice place.

A small place, but it's got quite the celebrity, huh?

Mr. Wang,

hello.

Hello, hello, hello.

What are you doing?

Who is he?

My personal bodyguard.

He's got a bit of a firm grip;

please don't take offense.

-Please have a seat. -Let's eat and chat. Let's eat and chat.

Come on, have a seat. Sit.

Miss Luo,

are you still angry with me?

Just because of the mangoes last time?

You never told me you were allergic to mangoes.

How was I supposed to know,

right?

Come on, come on.

Let me make a toast to you

as an apology.

Don't be angry, Miss Luo.

I didn't mean to do that last time,

right?

Let me make it up to you

with this wine.

Alright? Come on.

Anger doesn't suit you.

Come on, come on.

Let me toast you, okay?

Come on, come on.

What's the meaning of this?

You lousy bodyguard,

I didn't hold that against you just a moment ago.

You're getting cocky, huh?

Lousy bodyguard?

What's wrong with being a bodyguard?

Let me tell you, I happen to like lousy bodyguards.

I can't stand someone as filthy as you!

Luo Xiaoxiao, how dare you insult me!

So what?

I'll hit you, too, if I feel like it.

Fine, you've got guts.

Let me tell you!

I'm putting it out here right now:

I won't buy a single grape

from your family this year!

Look at you, flaunting your money.

Let me tell you!

I wouldn't sell my grapes to you,

even if you wanted them!

And now, I'm going to...

I'm even going to teach you a lesson!

Why are you hitting me?

-Let me tell you! -I will...

You keep that up, and I'll call the police!

You scoundrel!

Go ahead; call them!

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

Why are you smiling?

He insulted you, and you're still smiling?

Didn't you just say

that you liked lousy bodyguards?

As a lousy bodyguard, can I be happy about that?

Come with me then.

What are you doing, you lousy bodyguard?
