[Speed and Love]

[Episode 25]

Still running a fever?

Feel it yourself.

Let's go in.

Moonlight. Not on the menu.

Try it.

Watching them prepare crabs

reminds me of our childhood.

Every Mid-Autumn Festival,

Mom would buy crabs for us too.

I still have a box at home.

You're taking me to your home?

You've been here before?

Let's go.

Do you have any women's slippers?

The ones Dr. Julia wears.

Would you like to wear them?

I'll stick with these, then.

Did you

buy this place or rent it?

I bought it.

Looks like you're doing pretty well.

Then you wouldn't mind

if I just look around, right?

Wait.

Are you hiding someone here?

Didn't you already run into one before?

Dr. Julia looks really good for her age.

She's over 50 but looks like she's 30.

I thought she was your wife.

You've got quite the imagination.

I'm going in then.

Just messing with you.

I grew up with your pranks.

Let me help too.

You know how?

I have to.

No one has taken care of me all these years.

I'd have starved to death if I couldn't cook.

No one to take care of you?

No one has

pursued you all these years?

Quite a few.

Then why didn't you date anyone?

I did.

One of them was even in a rock band.

Once,

he took me to a remote mountain area

where there was a frozen lake.

He jumped right in

and wanted me to jump in too.

Seriously?

Will you believe anything I say?

Running out of things to talk about, huh?

No, I've got plenty more.

[Sanlai]

Brandy.

If you're not coming over, we'll come to you.

About two hours.

It's no fun being alone during the holiday.

I'm not alone right now.

Sorry,

I forgot about Lightning.

Anyway, don't worry. We'll be there soon.

Sorry, dude.

I'm hanging up now. Sorry to bother you.

My lifelong reputation

is ruined by you.

I'll take responsibility for that.

What would you like to drink?

I'll have some of your wine.

You want to drink?

Can't I?

What will you have?

I'll just have water.

How's your mom?

Her health has improved a lot.

All these years in Canada,

I've been taking her to follow-up appointments.

She's gradually gotten used to life there.

For me?

I like to dip my crab in vinegar.

After all these years,

he's still as attentive as ever.

Don't drink too much.

Don't expect me to take care of you if you get drunk.

You used to say that too.

Zhao.

Brother...

No.

Jin Zhao.

Considering you went through

something this big without telling me,

I've decided

to disown you as my sibling.

Cheers.

You know I'm still an intern, right?

The internship salary is really low.

Every month, I have to pay for rent,

water, electricity, and gas.

When I was in school,

Mom always supported me financially.

Now that I'm on my own,

I can't keep asking her for money.

I feel like I can barely afford to eat anymore.

You want to borrow some money?

I want to move in with you.

No way.

Why not?

You're living alone anyway.

If I move in,

I can help with your living expenses.

And although I'm just an intern now

and don't make much,

once I become permanent,

I'll make more, and I can scrimp and save

to contribute to household expenses.

Thanks for your kind offer.

But who knows who'll be supporting whom?

No.

Zhao, hear me out.

That roommate of mine—

he disappears every night

and always plays weird music in the room.

It really affects my work.

I honestly just want to move somewhere else.

You haven't changed your old habits.

Once you come over, you cling to me and won't leave.

I'm not clinging to other people.

When I was sending Jiang Mu off just now,

I told her straight—

if you don't want her

or if she's not happy there,

come back, and I'll take her.

Guess what she said?

She said you

would never abandon her.

You've really made up your mind?

When her mom was pregnant with her...

her mom's health was never good.

She was born prematurely,

at eight months.

She weighed just over 4 jin at birth.

Her dad and I

watched her lying in the incubator through the glass.

I thought to myself then...

such a tiny baby,

could we keep her alive?

So when we were kids,

whenever possible,

I always gave in to her.

Because I always felt

it was already a miracle that she was alive.

She was picky about food,

ate very little...

and always caught colds and fevers.

Every change of season,

we'd take her to the hospital.

She cried a lot too.

Even a tiny bug...

would frighten her to tears.

Then she'd reach out for me to hold her.

But she was easy to comfort.

Just distract her

and talk about something else, and she'd smile.

When I was little, I thought that

if she ever wanted to get married...

she should find someone who understands her,

knows her temperament,

can comfort her,

and knows what she likes to eat,

what she doesn't eat,

what she fears...

and what she hates.

If she ever ended up with someone

who made her suffer,

I'd beat that bastard to death.

Sanlai.

I can't keep her by my side.

I can't let suffer because of me, even a little bit.

I can't make her life difficult.

I can't be that bastard.

The moon is so round and beautiful tonight.

Look over there. Over there.

Let me ask you something.

When you went back last time...

Jin Qiang didn't give you my contact info...

right?

He said

you haven't been back for many years.

You two wouldn't have

conspired to deceive me, would you?

Why aren't you saying anything?

The sun shines by day...

and the moon by night.

The sun and moon alternate...

never to meet again.

What does that mean?

That's what I've learned over these years.

The sun shines by day,

and the moon by night.

Dr. Julia,

I've received Jin Zhao's medical reports.

Could you go through them with me in detail?

♪ For a lifetime ♪

That accident

initially caused systemic damage to his body.

There was compression of the brain tissue,

which led to a period of coma.

Additionally, he suffered multiple fractures throughout his body.

During the long rehabilitation process,

he often experienced local swelling

and joint pain,

resulting in limited mobility.

Later, his muscle strength began to decline.

For him,

recovery is a slow process,

and we need to be with him every step of the way.

Okay,

I understand.

[Observatory]

Jiang Mu.

What's this?

I have a favor to ask.

Tomorrow, we need to host several

visitors from other provinces for a tour of the observatory.

The leadership wants

someone with a good presence,

as they will represent our institute's image as well.

I immediately thought of you.

How about it? Can you help me tomorrow?

No problem.

It's settled then.

I'll head off first.

How's that? Pretty thoughtful of me, right?

I know you've been swamped lately.

Thought I'd pull you out for some fresh air.

Thanks a lot.

Don't mention it. The leaders will be here shortly.

The building we're visiting now

was constructed in 1929.

It has a long history

and is our country's first modern observatory.

Located on the peak of Purple Mountain,

it embodies a strong traditional Chinese aesthetic.

Next, we'll

visit the summit.

Here we have the 60-centimeter reflecting telescope

at the summit of Purple Mountain.

This reflecting telescope

dates back to 1934.

Its focal length...

Let's go inside for a closer look.

[Jin Zhao]

When do you get off work?

I'm showing some visitors around the observatory.

It'll be over in a little while.

Then carry on with your work.

Jiang Mu.

They have other plans for tonight.

We just need to see them off to their vehicle.

Want to have hot pot together tonight?

I already have plans.

Alright then.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Listen, don't always bury yourself in work.

You're not getting any younger. Consider finding a boyfriend.

Why are you here?

Didn't I tell you to wait for me

-at the foot of the mountain? -I wanted to come see you.

How did you get up here?

By cable car.

Why are you making such a fuss about him coming up the mountain?

Who is this?

My name is Gu Zhijie.

I'm Jiang Mu's

half-colleague?

And this is?

My ex-boyfriend of one week.

I've heard a lot about you.

What do you mean by "half-colleague"?

I'm Jiang Mu's senior from school.

Although we don't work together,

I kind of tricked her into coming to Nanjing.

We're all in the same field,

so we're half-colleagues.

Qin and I will see the leaders off tonight.

You're really not coming to dinner tonight?

I'll call you later.

Okay.

Then I'll get back to work.

Half-colleague.

Is this your first time up here?

Want me to give you a tour?

If it's convenient for you.

Convenient or not, you're already here.

Wouldn't it be a waste not to look around?

I already told you.

I just came to see you.

To see me?

So, what have you observed?

I came to see...

if I've scared you away again.

And what's your conclusion?

This celestial globe before us

is cast in bronze

and can rotate.

It's about three chi in diameter

and is embedded with

1,449 bronze pins,

representing the stars

visible to the naked eye.

Is this ring

the meridian circle?

That's right.

Mr. Visitor, you know your astronomy.

Just a little.

This is a celestial globe,

called Huntianyi or Hunxiang in ancient times.

Back in the Eastern Han Dynasty,

there was a star-gazing boy

named Zhang Heng who improved it,

giving it the function

of demonstrating celestial body movements.

My work focuses on

the dynamics of

multi-body celestial systems.

Come to think of it,

you were actually the one who first introduced me to all this.

Have you been busy lately?

Let me ask you something.

If I really had a fiancé

who loved playing games

and chasing women,

what would you do?

Do you want the truth?

Of course.

I'd make you willingly...

dump him before the wedding.

Willingly dump him?

And be with you instead?

Let me ask you another question.

What if I really got scared off

after seeing that report?

Then I should...

still be able to catch the last cable car down the mountain.

So...

have you made up your mind?

I want to take you somewhere first.

Do you see that?

Every year at this time,

the Earth's orbit around the Sun

and the Moon's orbit around the Earth

undergo slight changes.

The moon and sun

appear simultaneously on the horizon,

creating the phenomenon of the sun and moon shining together.

The sun and moon alternate.

Even natural laws aren't absolute,

let alone people.

Do you get...

what I'm trying to say?

The sun shines by day,

and the moon by night.

The sun and moon shine together.

You and I

will never be apart.

This is my answer.
