[Speed and Love]

[Episode 28]

Something's wrong with you.

What's wrong?

You're not planning...

to marry Mu, are you?

How did you know?

Everything you bought is for her.

Every single thing.

And that...

balut.

What did you buy for me?

Tell me.

Eggs.

For egg fried rice, see?

I remembered.

Let's go!

Let's race.

Sure.

Ready.

Action!

Can you handle it?

Beating you is not a problem.

I'm only using 70% of my skills.

I'll race with just one arm.

You're driving really well.

So about you coming back to drive for me,

have you thought it over?

Just drive carefully.

You're my advisor.

But I'd rather

you come back to drive.

The racing team has been waiting for you.

Mu,

get me a glass of water, okay?

You know...

why I don't drive.

Let's not talk about this for now.

You're a man in love now.

Six years—

she's been waiting for you all along.

That kind of girl is truly rare.

And you're not young anymore.

It's normal to want stability.

But you should also consider what I said.

She's worth it.

I won.

Zhao.

Zhao, Zhao, Zhao.

I can't have breakfast with you today.

What's wrong?

I have a meeting today.

I'm the first speaker. There's no time.

I'm coming right now.

There's no time. I have to go.

I packed it. Eat on the way.

Thank you. You're so thoughtful.

Be careful.

I'm off.

Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is busy now.

Please try again later.

Sorry, the subscriber you dialed...

[Mu]

Do you smell something?

Do you smell it?

Yes.

What's that smell?

I don't know.

Wake up.

Sir, the bus...

-Sir! -The bus is smoking!

Sir, the bus is smoking!

No way.

Sir! Stop the bus! Sir!

-Stop the bus! -The bus is smoking!

Okay, okay. I'm stopping right away.

Mu.

Zhao.

Where are you?

You didn't get on the bus?

I'm at the convenience store downstairs.

Can you bring me the documents

on the table?

Zhao,

did you hear me?

Wait for me.

I'm glad that you're okay.

Did you...

drive here yourself?

You can drive again?

Slow down.

Ease off the pedal suddenly.

Slow down.

Be careful. Slow down. Slow down.

Be careful.

Very good. Slow down.

Slow down.

All these years,

I thought silence and absence

were protection and sacrifice.

But year after year,

day after day,

in every day of my absence,

you stubbornly waited.

Mu.

Thank you for staying with me all along,

helping me understand

that true love isn't self-righteous sacrifice,

but 2 hearts,

defying wind and rain together, resisting a broken life.

I understand now.

True courage

isn't charging into battle alone.

It's allowing oneself

to become a wound that's tenderly guarded.

Try this.

It's delicious.

Is there any difference...

from what he made?

At that time,

I was still abroad.

The rehabilitation was going well.

I no longer needed a wheelchair

and could manage to walk.

Lin Sui kept asking me

to be his driver in the future.

I understood what he meant.

He was encouraging me in that way.

Given my physical condition at the time,

how could I possibly drive?

And I didn't know what I could do in the future.

I wondered what you

would want me to do.

You'd probably want me to study.

When I got tired from studying,

I would read the letters you wrote to me.

Those letters

gave me faith.

Kid, come and eat!

Noodles are here.

Chopsticks.

Wait.

Chopped scallions

are the soul of this bowl of noodles.

How's your studying going?

Not bad.

Don't overwork yourself.

Your body needs more rest now.

Have you been in touch with Mu lately?

When Mu was little,

she loved it most when I cooked noodles for her.

When you get the chance in the future,

help me cook a bowl of noodles for Mu.

I hope

she can remember the taste of this bowl of noodles.

Got it.

I've quit drinking.

I've quit drinking.

Why?

I can't handle it anymore.

I'm tired.

I need to take good care of your sister, Jin Xin.

I can't

make the same mistake again.

Eat.

How does it taste?

Pretty good.

Good. Eat more.

Maybe it's because he's old.

He's a bit...

sentimental now.

He's realized that he wasn't there for you

during some important moments in your life.

And he regrets it.

He wants to make it up to you,

even if it's just cooking you a good meal

or a bowl of Yangchun noodles.

He wants you to know

that his love for you...

isn't fake.

He just lost himself before.

Actually,

he could have told me all this over the phone.

I understand him on this.

Men sometimes

aren't very good at saying mushy things...

face to face.

I stopped resenting him long ago.

I only remember...

that he loved racing.

When I was little,

he always took me out to play with cars behind Mom's back.

Without cars,

it was like he lost his soul.

I won't be like that.

Racing...

isn't my dream.

Then what is your dream?

My dream...

is for you to always be happy.

When we get home later,

if Mom says anything unpleasant,

don't take it to heart.

If I'm afraid to face these things,

I wouldn't have come.

If you hadn't come back to me,

I don't know

if I would ever have had the chance

to see her again in this lifetime.

Mu, welcome home.

I just said it was you two,

but your mom didn't believe me.

Chris, let me introduce him to you.

He is Jin Zhao.

Welcome.

Hello, Uncle.

You look quite spirited, young man.

Come on, let's go inside.

Honey.

Mu is here.

She's here?

Jin Zhao is here too.

Got it.

Mom, I'm back.

You're back.

Are you tired?

I told you

to send me a message,

so I could ask Chris to pick you up at the airport.

No need to trouble him. We took a taxi.

Mom,

Zhao is back too.

Look,

I'm preparing

dinner for tonight.

Take your luggage to the room and rest a bit.

Dinner will be ready soon.

Here, Mu,

have some shrimps.

Mu, you know what?

Chris is worried and curious

about your work.

Worried?

Worried about what?

In your last call,

you said the sun was going to explode

and we'd all turn to dust.

He was so scared that he couldn't sleep well for a week.

Right?

That was just an astrophysics documentary.

Before that, there is another line:

"It will take about 6 billion years

before the sun might explode."

The life cycle of celestial bodies

is closely related to life and death.

Think about it.

If there's an atom in your body

that was once born, grew, and decayed

in the distant cosmos,

how romantic would that be?

It does sound romantic.

But why did I find it terrifying last time?

It's not terrifying.

It's that you're a scaredy-cat.

If Earth is going to explode,

shouldn't we be a bit nervous?

Honey,

I think you've always been very calm.

You must have known it'll take 6 billion years, right?

Yes, yes.

After Mu mentioned it last time,

I immediately watched that documentary.

I even watched it 3 times.

Actually, you were just worrying unnecessarily.

Stupid.

What? Annoying?

Well, Honey,

did I upset you again?

Zhao,

you watched that documentary too.

Cosmic Wonders.

There's a red nebula in it.

The visuals are very beautiful.

Such a big dumpling—

I bet it can shut your mouth.

You've all watched it?

So I've been alone?

You mean "isolated", right?

Not "alone".

Fine.

Mu,

how's your current place?

I terminated the lease.

What?

You terminated the lease?

Where do you live now?

Mu is staying at my place now.

I don't think it'll take

6 billion years for Earth to explode.

Mu, don't you think so?

Also,

next time you watch a movie,

take me with you, okay?

Jin Zhao, this is your first time in Canada,

right?

Yes, Uncle.

Since you're here, make yourself at home.

Relax.

In the morning, you can get up early.

The air is especially fresh.

You might see some small animals,

like beavers and red foxes.

-They are not afraid of humans. -Chris.

I told you to help me tidy the guest room.

Is it ready?

It's ready.

Okay.

Jin Zhao,

you're still up?

I don't have any elders around to ask,

so I asked my colleagues about the customs...

for proposing marriage.

I'm not sure if I've missed anything or done anything improperly.

I'm not someone

who can fully meet your expectations,

but Mu has always been

the person I cherish most,

whether as a younger sister in the past

or as a beloved partner from now on.

I came this time

to tell you in person...

that from now on,

no matter what circumstances I face,

I will take good care of Mu

and never let her suffer.

Please...

entrust her to me.

Mom.

You two had a long journey today.

Rest early.

Jin Zhao,

some things can't be rushed.

Take it slow.

And give her some time.
