"Blue Lips"

(Episode 10)

How should I put this?

It's just rotten.

When he was out delivering on his bike,

an old lady fell down.

And him,

he fell too while trying to avoid hitting her.

Xiao Wu probably didn't even touch her.

But Xiao Wu is an honest guy.

He didn't think too much about it,

and just took her to the hospital for a checkup.

He ended up getting extorted.

The old lady's son brought a gang of people,

making a scene at the courier station where he works.

They completely ruined Xiao Wu's job.

After they were done there,

they came to our bar to cause trouble.

He didn't want to bring trouble to the bar,

so he hasn't been around for a long time.

He won't even answer our calls.

Hey, Mom.

Mo-mo!

Why did you leave so suddenly?

Are you hiding something from your dad and me?

I had some business in Jinyang.

I had to head back on short notice.

I couldn't stay long.

Was it because I scolded you?

Pushing you to go on blind dates? Did I hurt your feelings?

It's not what you think.

You're overthinking it.

Well, have you eaten?

Don't leave on an empty stomach.

I just grabbed a quick bite.

Don't worry, I'm fine.

By the way, Mom.

If I...

never get married in this lifetime,

you wouldn't be mad, right?

I won't allow it.

Your dad and I

are going to pass away before you do.

If you don't get married,

once we're gone,

what will you do all by yourself?

Listen to me.

I was just kidding, just teasing you.

Wait for me at home.

I'll be back soon.

Teng Mo, where are you?

Why aren't you answering your phone?

Did something happen?

You gave up the lease on the shop.

What on earth made you leave without saying goodbye?

Teng Mo, you're a jerk!

A total jerk!

Hey, Ah Heng. Brother Mo.

Do you know where Wu Shixian's courier station is?

I do.

Are you going there?

Send it to me, thanks.

Okay.

I'll send it to you right now.

You see, in our line of work,

the turnover rate is extremely high.

We usually don't pay much attention

to their home addresses and stuff.

So on our end,

we only register

the street they live on.

Let me look it up for you.

Here you go.

Him, well...

he doesn't talk much normally,

so I didn't ask too much about his address.

Got it.

Thank you.

I'd like to ask, is there someone

about my height,

who looks like this,

but with blue hair?

Doesn't ring a bell.

Have you seen a guy

who looks like this?

He's about my height.

Never seen him.

Thanks.

Xiao Wu worked really hard.

He's actually a great kid.

Just bad luck.

When those people came to make a scene,

they bullied him so viciously.

We couldn't stand watching it.

But he's too proud,

and didn't want to drag us into it.

The very next day,

he resigned and left on his own.

Hey, Brother Hao.

Teng Mo.

A couple of days ago, when I went

to the hospital,

I bumped into Xiao Wu.

What?

I'm fine.

One of my brothers got ambushed by some rivals.

When I saw him,

he was carrying takeout boxes.

Probably delivering food to someone.

They were short on stretchers at the time,

and he even helped carry one of my brothers up.

When was this?

Which hospital?

Just a couple of days ago.

Jinyang Hospital.

I was in such a rush,

I didn't get a chance to ask which ward he was in.

Understood, Brother Hao.

Thanks, you've been a huge help.

I'll treat you to a meal later.

I'm hanging up now.

I need to head to the hospital.

What?

Sounds like

you're already back in Jinyang.

Well,

it was a last-minute decision.

I just got back yesterday.

I'll explain it to you when I have time.

Alright.

Driver, what's going on up ahead?

There's a car crash.

Everything's jammed up.

Roughly how long is the wait?

Who knows?

It'll clear up eventually.

Being in a rush won't help.

Excuse me,

is there a patient named Wu Shixian?

He might not be a patient.

He could be a family member.

Anyway, that's the name.

We can't just disclose

patients' private information.

And we definitely don't keep track of family members.

What exactly are you asking?

Do you have any ID or proof?

No.

You don't even have any ID,

how am I supposed to help you?

If you're looking for someone,

you need to at least provide the patient's name,

age, and gender,

as well as their diagnosis.

You also need to show visitor credentials.

Do you have any of that?

You're so frantic,

and you haven't even explained things clearly.

Then,

for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension

who need long-term hospitalization, which department are they in?

It depends on the specific situation.

Only severe cases like heart failure

require long-term hospitalization.

If you're really in a hurry,

go ask at the cardiovascular inpatient ward.

Okay, thanks.

He needs to deliver food,

which means they're not in the ICU.

Given Shixian's financial situation,

they wouldn't be in a private room either.

Cardiovascular general ward.

Building 3, second floor.

Shixian, don't run!

Shixian!

Keep running, you brat! Where are you gonna go?

Let go of me!

Let go of me, you old bastard!

Didn't you leave?

Why did you come back?

You just want to see me miserable.

Does that make you happy?

Yes.

I'm thrilled.

Seeing you miserable, seeing you suffer,

it made me lose my appetite and sleep.

I'm just so thrilled.

Shixian.

Look how skinny you've gotten.

Do you think I'm happy?

Stop messing around.

Be good.

What's all this yelling?

This is a hospital.

Don't you know patients need to rest?

Two grown men grabbing at each other.

What a disgrace.

Have you no sense of public decency?

Aren't you the family member of the patient in bed 107?

Bed 107 is about to have an MRI.

Why are you still here?

Are you going to let the patient go alone?

I'll be right there.

Who are you?

I'm here to visit

the patient in room 107.

Whatever issues you two have,

take it outside.

This is a hospital.

No loud noises allowed.

If you keep arguing,

I'm calling security.

Sorry, we'll keep it down.

Sis.

Who is this?

Nobody.

Let's go, Sis.

The doctor is waiting.

All that noise in the hallway just now,

that was you, wasn't it?

No, it wasn't.

Let's go.

Was it because of him?

No, Sis.

It really wasn't me just now.

Let's hurry.

The doctor is rushing us.

What are you doing here again?

Since you wanted to leave,

you should have made a clean break.

I have something to ask you.

I have nothing to say to you.

So Wu Yixian is your sister.

Why didn't you tell me?

Why should I tell you?

What do you think our relationship is?

Aren't I just a toy you bought?

Who actually cares about a toy?

I get it.

No, you don't.

What does it matter if I get it or not?

I don't care anymore.

Shixian.

Listen to me.

Sis.

Shixian.

Sis.

What do you want to eat later? I'll go buy it for you.

Okay?

Shixian.

That gentleman outside,

do you know him?

I don't know him.

If you don't know him,

why does he keep staring at you?

He's crazy.

You're a grown man now.

Stop acting like a child.

He clearly has something to discuss with you.

Just talk to him properly.

Running away won't solve anything.

I really don't know him, Sis.

Stop worrying over nothing.

Did you get into some kind of trouble?

Or did you borrow money from him?

Or are those people who gave you trouble last time

tracking you down here?

How about this?

Call him in.

I'll have a chat with him.

Sis.

It's really not what you think.

Sis.

Wait for me a second.

I'll be right back.

Go on.

My sister is sick.

Don't bother her here.

If you have something to say, let's take it outside.

Speak.

What exactly do you want?

I'm sorry.

I...

I left before without saying goodbye.

It's fine.

I don't care.

Are you done?

If you're done, I'm leaving.

Shixian.

What exactly happened?

Let go.

Talk to me properly.

Or I'll kiss you right here.

Don't you dare.

Talk properly.

What's there to ask?

What does it have to do with you?

That incident with the old lady...

I didn't touch her.

I know, they were trying to extort you.

I want to ask you,

did you get hurt?

Shixian.

Have you never thought about

being with a man?

No.

Then why were you willing to sleep with me?

Because I needed money.

Just that?

Yes.

I can explain.

Before,

I left without a word because I thought...

I...

You don't need to explain anything to me.

There's no need for explanations.

I'm not mad.

We were never

in a relationship that required apologies anyway.

Are you done?

I have things to do.

I don't have time to play games with you.

I'm not playing games with you.

And I never treated you like a toy.

Then let me ask you,

do you think leaving without a word

was cool?

Or noble?

I left because

I saw you trying on wedding dresses with a girl.

I thought you were getting married.

Shixian.

Give me a chance.

I just hope you won't chase me away.

Let's just leave it at this for now. Wait until your sister gets better.

Wait until everything is fine.

If you still want me to leave then, I'll go.

Okay?

In the end, aren't you still going to leave?

What's the difference?

Dummy.

People are people.

Not diamonds.

Not stones.

Don't let whether others value you or not make you devalue yourself.

I'm praising you.

You did well today.

You knew how to defend yourself.

And you didn't resort to violence.

It's not like you won't be around anymore.

Are you going to stop caring about me?

That's not what I meant.

What I mean is,

you can't always count on me.

I won't be by your side every single moment.

What will you do when I'm not around?

Shixian.

Did you not sleep well last night?

No.

I slept pretty well.

Yeah, right.

I heard you tossing and turning.

I...

Did I wake you up?

Not really.

I'm a light sleeper anyway.

There's nothing much to do at the hospital.

Go back and get some proper rest.

I can handle things myself.

Sis, I feel fine.

The doctor will be doing rounds soon.

I'll go buy you breakfast first.

Then I'll go pay the hospital's advance payment.

Wait for me a bit.

Wait a second.

That gentleman from yesterday...

He left.

After I talked to him,

he probably won't come back.

Sis.

Wait for me a bit.

Morning.

Shixian.

You...

Buns, fried dough sticks, soy milk, eggs,

milk, sandwiches,

Guilin rice noodles, beef noodles.

I didn't know what your sister likes to eat,

so I bought a bit of everything.

Why don't you ask her?

Did you...

stay here all night, or...

did you just get here?

If I told you.

I didn't go home all night,

would you feel bad for me?

You chose not to go home.

Don't act like I forced you.

I'm not.

I did it willingly.

I need to go pay my sister's hospital bills.

Stop following me.
