[Speed and Love]

[Episode 27]

How old is your child?

Is he in kindergarten?

Your child.

When you came back to China,

did your child come back with you?

Did Jin Zhao tell you about this?

He mentioned it at a dinner once.

Does he

talk about me often?

He doesn't talk much about his personal life,

but everyone knows

Mr. Jin's wife lives abroad with their child.

He said his child is quite lazy,

and likes to sleep in.

That's such an easy child to take care of!

My sister's kid

wakes up at five every morning.

That's a real headache.

The adults can't get any sleep, either.

But my sister's daughter has the same issue as yours—

she's a picky eater.

Won't eat this, won't eat that.

It's so frustrating.

My aunt said it's because of poor spleen function.

She took her for therapeutic massage.

You could try that, too.

You're the one with poor spleen function.

Wife? Child?

You've made up quite a story.

According to you, I'm both a mother and a daughter—

playing two roles at once.

What exactly have you been telling people?

Now your lazy, picky little baby

is angry.

Don't you need to explain yourself?

I'm busy.

Later.

Why did you come back?

I heard there was a child who was upset.

I'm here to comfort her.

Is this how you comfort someone?

How would you like me to comfort you, then?

You've really changed now.

You weren't like this before.

You used to pull me into alleys and tell me

that girls shouldn't behave this way.

Back then, you were still immature.

Don't give me that parent talk.

Look at the axis.

From here to here, it's 30.

Does it matter if it exceeds 30?

Thank you, Senior.

Here, try it.

I waited in line to buy you this coffee.

Their coffee is award-winning.

I queued up at 4 or 5 a.m.

I queued for a long time.

Why did you only buy one for him?

I don't get one?

So what?

-You are so biased— -Here.

You can have it.

Senior, you're too nice.

He likes me.

We are close, right?

Senior.

Is there something wrong

with this diagram's wheelbase?

Don't you know this? It was taught in class.

Let me do it.

It's so easy.

Don't you know?

Tell him. Yes, tell him.

Look at this point and this point.

Yes.

That one.

-Let me tell you. -The blackboard.

Mu!

Why are you here?

Without telling me, either.

I'm here to tell you that

I've received the notice of employment.

From today onwards,

I'm a full-time employee of the research institute.

Notice of employment?

Show me.

No.

Not unless you hug me.

Don't you see where we are?

What? Does your school

have rules against dating?

You're acting strange.

What's strange about me?

I'm wondering when

you'll buy me a coffee, too.

Zhao, is this your girlfriend?

Never seen her before.

Yes.

She's usually quite busy.

She finally found some time

to grace me with her presence.

Alright, we're heading out first, then.

-Bye-bye. -Bye-bye.

Does that short-haired girl like you?

Why did she only buy coffee for you

and not for anyone else?

They came to discuss

fluid mechanics with me

and to ask about admissions.

I run a coffee shop myself.

Isn't the coffee at home good enough?

Why bother drinking someone else's?

Behave yourself.

Don't you see where we are?

Our school doesn't have rules against dating.

Am I coming to dinner tonight, too?

With whom?

You'll find out when you get there.

Who is it?

What's the rush?

Come here!

Is there something wrong with your eyes?

Look.

My angle is so tight here.

And then you parked your car sideways.

How am I supposed to back up?

I'll go handle this. You go up and wait for me.

Hey, Ma'am, I...

What do you mean "hey"?

I know that look on your face.

Are you discriminating against female drivers?

Let me tell you, I can sue you for this.

It's him who blocked this spot,

making it impossible for me to back up.

Why are you honking?

It's because he parked sideways here—

let me tell you.

Come and judge for yourself.

Wen, move your car first.

I'll help you back up.

Alright.

Sanlai!

Jiang Mu?

What are you doing here?

Oh my God!

Long time no see.

Long time no see.

Our Jiang Mu

is getting more and more beautiful.

Just good makeup.

Where's Brandy?

He went to park the car.

Park?

He can handle the steering wheel now?

That's good.

Anyway, now that you're here with him,

encourage him to drive more often.

Who are you chatting with?

Oh my God! Isn't this my lil' sis?

Crazy?

You've really grown up!

You've become so pretty!

-I almost didn't recognize you. -Take it easy.

You've changed a lot, too.

More mature, right?

More weathered, I'd say.

What are you talking about?

When did you two get in touch?

Why didn't you tell us?

It's been a while.

Don't just stand there. Let's sit down and talk.

Okay.

How long has it been since we last met?

Today, I've got to drink with Mu.

Yes.

She won't be drinking.

It made sense when you protected her at 18.

But you're still doing it now.

Won't you let us get a little closer?

I'm in a good mood today.

If Mu doesn't drink, the three of us will.

I'm not drinking, either.

Just the two of us, then.

Waiter!

Bring the food!

After what happened to Brandy,

I completely cut ties with Wan's.

But anyway,

Crazy handled this matter properly.

This shows that in his heart,

he still cares about us.

Can you stop being so sappy?

I just felt guilty.

I was careless with what happened

with Iron Cock,

hurting Brandy.

It's okay.

Being alive is what matters.

He suffered for a few years.

But thankfully Crazy was there at the time.

He's big enough

and helped me take care of Brandy,

making things easier.

I barely took care of him for a few days.

As soon as he felt a little better, he wanted to take the self-study exam,

dragging me along, too.

Come on, you have the nerve to complain?

Do you know why he took you with him?

He was sick

and you were making all that noise playing video games.

It was bothering him.

I've never liked studying since I was a kid.

After middle school, I just became a slacker.

Absolutely ungrateful.

If it weren't for Brandy,

would you be a college graduate now?

Brandy originally wanted to drag him along to take the graduate exam.

This guy threatened to kill himself,

so Brandy finally let him off the hook.

Look, at my age,

I'm satisfied

just getting a college degree.

You really should be content.

Crazy is doing well now.

He's working as a technician under Brandy.

His life has some stability now.

However, he still hasn't found

a partner...

Jiang Mu,

help Crazy find someone good.

Mu, I'm counting on you for this.

These two aren't reliable.

No problem. Leave it to me.

Sanlai, don't just talk about Crazy Jin.

Tell us about yourself.

How have you been doing all these years?

Just by looking at me

you can tell I'm doing very well.

However,

when Brandy left back then,

Xishi died, too.

I was quite heartbroken.

So I thought

I'd close down the pet shop.

Later I opened a fast food restaurant.

Business is still pretty good, though.

So that fast food restaurant is yours?

You've been there?

I didn't go in.

I saw it when I returned during my first vacation

when I studied in Canada.

You know what?

I'm truly a business genius.

When I opened that fast food restaurant,

I made quite a bit of money after a few years.

But later I realized without my bros around me,

life was really tough.

So I leased out the restaurant

and came back to join Brandy.

This guy

rushed back here in such a hurry.

He opened a fast food restaurant right at the factory entrance.

When he first opened, there was no business at all.

If it weren't for all of us

supporting him,

I tell you, he would've gone under long ago.

Plus, Brandy

had some influence.

More and more people

started eating at his place

instead of the cafeteria.

He even borrowed my savings.

Saying he wanted to expand the business.

Made it so our cafeteria couldn't even stay in business.

Our boss had a real problem with him.

That's enough.

Are you getting old?

Why are you so talkative?

Who borrowed money from you?

Don't talk nonsense.

Let me summarize.

So this factory

wanted to change their cafeteria operator.

So I submitted a bid.

Surprisingly, many of the managers

had eaten at my restaurant before

and gave me the opportunity,

and they chose me.

Give me a break.

It's thanks to that glib tongue of yours

that you secured the contract.

That's enough.

Speaking of which, I just remembered.

Are you tired? Would you like some water?

Well.

Let me formally introduce myself again.

I'm now

a man with a business card.

I'm a Cafeteria Manager.

All right.

So you're

planning to stay in Nanjing from now on?

Yeah, just like you.

Clinging onto Brandy.

I can see that.

You do that yourself.

-Why is it your name on this? -I won't cling onto him.

You only have Brandy.

-You don't even have a partner. -I didn't write it.

You really know how to hit a sore spot, don't you?

What about it?

-You, too. -Stop talking.

Come on, have a drink.

Come on.

I'll just drink water for now and make it up next time.

Fine, you owe us one.

-When will you make it up? -I owe you.

We've been apart for so long.

Yet in this reunion,

we're still as close as before.

It's like time hasn't passed at all.

Sanlai is still as eloquent as before,

talking non-stop.

And there's still the jumpy Crazy,

who loves to bicker with Sanlai.

It's just that

Sanlai has become more composed than before.

And Crazy's hair has gone from red

to black.

When Zhao is with them,

though he doesn't say much,

you can tell

he's at peace and is content.

Perhaps now,

few people know about his tumultuous past.

Only in front of these old friends,

he's still the same Brandy.

I quit.

You quit?

You're not trying to have a baby, are you?

Are you really planning to wait

until your kid is grown up and running around

before telling us?

It hasn't been that long,

just

a little over two months.

Brandy! Look at you.

It's not like we never met

or had meals together during these two months.

Your mouth seems

like it's been padlocked shut.

Don't act like an old nanny.

I can't be giving you

every single life update by calling you, right?

That day I called you during Mid-Autumn Festival,

that girl on the phone was Jiang Mu, right?

You two were already together then?

Not yet at that time.

Fine!

No wonder lately

I could never get you to hang out.

Every time we met,

you acted like you had firecrackers under your butt—

barely sitting down before leaving.

So you were rushing back to be with Jiang Mu.

It's the honeymoon phase.

Yeah, right!

What kind of honeymoon phase lasts for so many years?

Isn't that nice, though?

Zhao and Mu.

Tell me,

how far have you two gone?

I want to marry her.

Jin and I were

discussing this the other day—

saying if either of us got married,

you'd be left alone.

We were just thinking how pitiful you'd be.

And now you're telling me

you want to get married?

Put your hand down.

Back then, when you changed your number,

why did you persuade me to change mine too,

not letting me contact Jiang Mu?

That was because at that time...

You haven't been

guarding against me all these years, have you?

You knew how handsome and charming I am,

and you were afraid Jiang Mu

might fall for me if she contacted me too much.

Right?

Yes.

I was just jealous of you.

I get jealous of any man

who appears around Mu.

You're just love-obsessed.

I am love-obsessed.

You're no fun.

Wait a second.

If you get married, do I have to

give two wedding gifts?

Two, three, four, five gifts are all fine.

Be generous.

Something up at the company?

Okay, I'll head back first.

During the first two years I was studying in Canada,

I returned to Manshi every vacation to look for you.

But what about you?

Not a word from you.

I was so angry.

I swore I would never go back to find you again.

Here, don't be angry.

But who knew?

In the third and fourth year, I still couldn't resist.

Do you know

which time left the deepest impression

on me?

Once at the airport,

I lost my laptop bag.

It wasn't the laptop that mattered,

but the keychain you gave me that was attached to it.

I searched frantically everywhere,

but couldn't find it anywhere.

I was almost in tears.

Fortunately, in the end,

a cleaning lady found it and returned it to me.

Thank goodness it was found.

I'm glad you found it.

It was my fault.

I made you suffer.

So you do know I suffered.

How do you plan to make it up to me?

How would you like me to make it up to you?

What are you guys doing?

Would you like some red wine?

No, thanks.

The airplane food was terrible.

I'm starving.

Here.

Egg fried rice.

His fried rice is amazing.

Aren't you having any?

You go ahead.

What a shame.

No one loves egg fried rice as much as you do.

Mind your own business.

I won't stay long this time.

I won't intrude on your private time together.

It's your place.

Do as you please.

His place?

To be precise,

it's a company apartment.

But occasionally when I'm here on business, I stay here

and annoy him.

Annoying indeed.

Then don't stay here.

Then stop eating.

Let him finish eating.

Sit down.

He came to Nanjing

even before his injury had healed.

No one could stop him.

I didn't know why back then,

but now...

I think I understand.

If it weren't for me,

you would have lost that leg.

You can have it back.

You know

that's not what I want.

There are things I have to do.

It would trouble me otherwise.

That's why I had to return to Nanjing.

Jin Zhao.

Will you...

ever drive again?

How have you been lately?

Are you feeling better?

Much better.

I even walked for half an hour yesterday.

You owe me a big favor.

How should I repay it?

I haven't decided yet.

What I wanted most was

to have one good race against you.

But

with your current physical condition,

honestly,

I think

you're pretty much done with racing.

Thank you for your honesty.

So,

what are you planning to do next?

I'm not sure yet.

I definitely can't just do nothing.

Since I can't race anymore, maybe...

I'll finish my studies.

I'll go study cars.

Interesting idea.

Mu

has always wanted me to finish my studies, too.

Jiang Mu?

You haven't been in touch with her, have you?

Like you said,

my body will never be the same again.

Mu should find someone...

healthier

to spend her life with.

I think

you're making decisions for her.

However,

I still respect your choice.

My club needs someone in a core position.

I now believe

the most important quality for that position

isn't necessarily speed on the track.

My club

is still open to you.

You're welcome to join

anytime.

We'll see.

I gave him a condition at that time.

What condition?

I invested in a

racing club.

Asked him to mentor the young people in the club,

and share his experience with them.

No wonder you often go on business trips.

He's a partner

at the club.

An exploited partner.

You have no idea how long I begged him

before he agreed to help me.

Enough.

What are you really here for today?

Jin Zhao, do you want to

return to the team and drive for me?

I've asked Dr. Julia.

She said your body has recovered now,

so you can try driving again.

As long as

you overcome your psychological barriers.

Taking compromising photos of me?

Now I have leverage over you.

For the next few questions I ask,

you'd better answer honestly.

What do you want to know?

Hearing from Sanlai and Crazy Jin today,

I'm very curious about what you've been doing these 6 years.

I spent a few years abroad,

then came back to China.

When you were abroad,

who were you with?

Sanlai

and Crazy Jin.

Who else?

Tell me the truth.

Did Sanlai

contact you?

Yes, I had some free time today

and caught up with Sanlai.

I just spent a few years abroad.

The medical technology there is better.

I came back after treatment.

Answer me properly. With whom?

No one.

Look at you, hesitating to speak.

You don't have another woman, do you?

No.

Look.

You didn't deny it right away.

You hesitated.

You're not answering me. You're not being honest.

I'm up.

Where is he?

Where did he go?

[We're out to buy breakfast. Wait for me.]

Don't block the way!

Why are you blocking? So annoying.

Sorry.

Save me a spot!

Are you always this crazy

when grocery shopping?

It's not usually like this.

Are you done?

This one

looks good.

Not fresh enough.

The potatoes are good.

Green pepper and shredded potatoes would work.

Shredded potatoes are fine,

but not green peppers.

Mu doesn't like green peppers.

Ma'am, please weigh these.

Here.

-Pork ribs. -2.80 yuan.

You're buying more?

Young man, 2.80.

Okay.

Sir, please weigh these ribs.

Sure.

Is the meat fresh?

Very fresh.

How much longer will we be?

Almost done.

Weren't you the one who wanted to come along?

But I didn't expect this situation.

Wait a moment. One last thing.

Farm eggs.

Farm eggs?

-Sir, you haven't paid! -What is that?

Pay up.

Pay over there with the QR code.

Okay.

Weigh these.

Okay.

Potatoes, eggs.

Got them.

Ribs.

Got it.

Cabbage, eggplant, cilantro.

Got them.

Edamame, cucumber.

Got them.

Green onions, lettuce, oranges, bananas.

Got everything?

Yes.

What are you smiling at?

You're acting strange.

How am I acting strange?

You're not planning

to marry Mu, are you?

[Epilogue]

Excuse me.

Have you seen

a keychain?

-How does it look like? -I really need help to find it.

It's... It's about this big.

-With four Chinese characters on it. -Oh, okay.

Please, you have to help me.

-It's really important. -Okay, I got it.

I'm begging you.

Please find it.

A passenger has lost an item.

It's a keychain

with four Chinese characters on it.

Excuse me.

Yes, sir.

I found a keychain.

It belongs to that girl.

Could you please give it to her?

-There are four Chinese words on it. -Okay.

Thank you.

It's made of leather.

It says "Zhao and Mu" on it.

If anyone finds it,

please return it to the service desk.

Hello.

Is it this one?

Yes, that's it.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

This is it.

Okay.

[Yearning Day and Night]
