[Begin Again]

[Episode 32]

Why isn't he here yet?

He should be here by now.

Didn't he say he was free on weekends?

If he doesn't come,

how can I get inspiration?

A great man can stoop or stand.

All great writers do that.

What can I do

when my muse is gone?

I'll go to him myself.

Who is it?

Wait a minute.

Why are you here?

[Muse's house.]

[A place of happiness.]

[Let me feel it well.]

Normcore style.

As expected.

You...

Why are you here?

You never came,

so I come here instead.

You mean,

I didn't go to your house,

so you were sad.

Then, you came to mine instead.

Lu Yiyao, why is it

you can't understand

human language?

What I meant was...

It was...

the spirit of

not giving up halfway.

You haven't got the answer to

your question yet.

I was worried that one day

if you have a whim for it,

you might bother me again.

I have some time today.

I'm here to answer it.

You don't feel well?

I'm fine.

I'm fine, I knew it.

You can't be so weak.

[Succinct, clean, monotonous,]

[very overbearing.]

[Not bad, not bad.]

Cai Siyu,

what are you doing here?

I'm here…

Why are you standing here?

Sit down.

Your behavior

will make me misunderstand.

I will think that

you don't want to see me.

Come on, sit down.

I…

Cai Siyu!

What's wrong with me?

That's enough!

What's wrong with you? You're…

Do not touch my waist.

Did you hurt your waist?

The waist is a very important part.

I know.

Thank you.

Then, how did you get hurt?

Gym?

Plumbing?

I'm old.

I have the muscular strain, okay?

Okay, okay.

You are sick.

You're sick!

Calm down. Relax.

I didn't know you had hurt your waist.

I won't touch you.

I won't.

[He didn't come]

[because he wasn't feeling well.]

[I feel pity for him.]

[Then I'll forgive you.]

Lu Yiyao,

did you see a doctor?

Yes.

[An old man staying at home alone.]

[He wouldn't die of loneliness, right?]

[You are my muse.]

[A sick muse is also a muse.]

[I'm here now.]

[You'll get my pity.]

Don't worry.

I'll take care of you.

Don't you have to work?

What about your book?

It's okay. Have a look.

I've brought my laptop with me.

You should be hungry by now.

I'll cook for you.

Never mind.

It's okay.

I'm good at cooking.

Just sit here.

Don't move.

It won't take long.

Your meal is ready.

Meal?

A meal for the patient.

What's the smell?

Charred fragrance.

It improves appetite and promotes digestion.

I'm not hungry. I don't want to eat.

Of course you have to eat.

If you don't eat, you won't get better.

I told you, no.

Eat them yourself.

You're an old man,

why do you act like a child?

I won't eat them anyway.

Then I'll feed you.

[Spoonfeeding is]

[very common in novels.]

Great.

Open up.

It's hot!

Come here.

Old man,

why can't you just behave?

I've had enough.

No, it took great effort

to make them.

You can't waste food.

Come on.

How is it?

Sweet, very sweet.

Oh my!

You're really good

with your fancy words.

What I meant was the texture.

I mean, it's too sweet.

It's too much.

There is water over there.

Get it for me.

Tell me,

why did you

put so much sugar in the congee?

I thought

you're sick now.

You couldn't taste the flavor.

So, I added some sugar to it for you.

When I was sick as a child,

my mom made me sweet congee.

Don't you think you added too much sugar?

I bet you added the whole jar into it.

It was an accident.

Look at my delicate hands.

They are more suitable for typing.

Eat up.

Try the pickles.

[Cai Siyu]

[Chapter One: In a brightly lit and spacious room, a woman sits on the couch.]

[The color brings out the fairness of her skin. She looks confident.]

[He still eats alone.]

[He goes to work and goes home alone.]

[Very few people would dare]

[to approach him.]

[She can think of]

[how cold and lonely his world is.]

[There is nothing she can do.]

[She can only dash around]

[to break into his world.]

[Mr. Lu,]

I like you.

Can you be my boyfriend?

[They broke up.]

[She knew that]

[he had never loved her.]

[So, she scolded him for being a jerk.]

[In fact, he wasn't one.]

[In her heart,]

[he is a brave man.]

[Being able to hide his love,]

[for so long,]

[one needs more courage]

[than what it takes to embrace love.]

I told you I didn't mind.

I just don't care!

[She prays for one thing only.]

[She only prays that]

[the poor man]

[can smile more]

[and stop living this pitiful life.]

[So, she wants to leave him]

[without hesitation.]

[She wants to be freed of the urge]

[to embrace him once more.]

[Although he's]

[an obnoxious old man,]

[he's still handsome.]

[Lu Yiyao, you...]

I was asleep.

What about just now?

Just now...

I must have been sleepwalking.

Sleepwalking?

When you sleepwalk, you turn into a thug?

You're sick, okay? You need treatments.

Get up!

My waist!

Make it clear!

Explain!

Siyu,

will you give me another chance?

[What's going on now?]

[I was taking care of the sick CEO,]

[and now he's flirting with me.]

This time,

I don't care about anyone else.

I don't need any answers either.

I just want...

I just want to

stay with you.

[Illusions. These are all illusions!]

[I can't believe him.]

Ouch!

Did it hurt?

Are you awake now?

Listen,

I don't like you anymore.

You don't have to answer right away.

I just...

I just want you

to give me one more chance.

Let me try it again.

I don't want to try it.

Are you still mad at me

because of what happened that time?

Hear me out. Before…

Lu Yiyao,

don't be so full of yourself, okay?

I'm full of myself?

Fine.

Tell me,

of the novels you're writing now,

which male protagonist

isn't based on me?

You read my books?

No, no.

I'm asking you,

the male protagonist

in this novel

you're writing now,

isn't he just like me?

Male protagonists of romance novels

are all the same.

They are all like this?

Then I should read more of these.

Anyway,

I just saw a detail.

It sounded just like me.

Perhaps I should read it out to you?

Lu Yiyao, you...

Yes, I admit it.

When I think of you,

I feel particularly inspired.

I feel immersed in the story.

I wrote every novel

based on parts of your image.

So what?

I just

make use of you.

Make use of?

Use me if you want.

I won't make a fuss about it with you.

Use the real me as your material.

I don't need that.

Isn't it better to look at the real person and then imagine?

No.

A living man

is standing in front of you.

But you prefer an imaginary one.

Yes.

Is the imaginary man

better than a real man?

Why are you so wordy?

The imaginary man is certainly better.

The man in my imagination

won't lie to me,

won't toy with my feeling,

or make me upset.

He worries about me,

but I don't need to worry about him.

He will do everything

that I order him to do.

When I ask him to sleep, he will…

Anyway, he can do anything.

I can't understand it.

I don't need men like you

to understand it.

Listen carefully.

I live

a happy life alone.

Men are troublesome!

My waist!

Take it easy.

-Get out of the way. -My waist!

Cai Siyu!

Cai Siyu,

can you please keep your composure?

You can't be fooled by these tricks

he used six years ago.

No.

I need a distraction.

I need to…

I need to…

I need to work out in the gym

and get all sweaty.

Press down your center of gravity. Straighten your back.

Come on.

Old man,

this isn't the place for you.

Why?

I work out every day, okay?

It won't work.

I...

I'll watch some movies.

I'll date myself.

Cai Siyu,

you are so familiar with

these tricks.

Why can't you keep a level head?

It's no good.

I need to talk to someone.

Why are you here?

Youyou's not here.

Nobody will discuss novels with you.

Wait.

Ms. Lu,

my conception

is particularly complex this time.

I must discuss it with someone of your level,

someone who has your experience

in love.

[Shenzhen Huiren Hospital]

Your waist injury

is not that serious.

But you must rest well.

Remember to apply for the medicine.

Avoid vigorous exercises.

It will heal gradually.

You're not young. Take care.

Thank you, doctor.

That's all.

You may leave now.

Am I old?

My skin is quite good.

He said I was old. Really...

Simon,

what brought you here?

I...

I came to see a doctor.

Are you okay?

I'm fine. I had an X-ray.

I accidentally bumped into something recently.

I had some minor injury.

I'm glad you're alright.

Pay attention to your health.

If you need anything,

contact me anytime.

Okay.

I'm going to work now.

Wait.

Are you free after work?

Come on.

Ling Rui,

what do women

think nowadays?

Tell me, what's going on

in this man's mind?

Lu Yiyao used me.

Now he's turning over a new leaf

to win my back.

I won't let myself be fooled!

I will not forgive him!

A jerk should always be nailed to

the pillar of shame!

The past is the past.

The present is now.

I've already apologized to her.

I've admitted my mistakes

so sincerely.

Why can't she let go

of the past?

She's unpredictable.

It's getting on my nerve.

He even kissed me!

Did he really think

he was an overbearing boss?

He was disrespectful.

It was sexual harassment.

I must call the police.

It's obvious that she likes me.

But she doesn't admit it.

She lives

in her imagination every day.

She is unwilling to face the reality.

What's going on

in her mind right now?

What is he thinking right now?

Actually...

Actually, I don't know either.

It's okay, Ms. Lu.

This issue is indeed complicated.

It's normal if you don't know. Come on.

But, Cai Siyu,

let me ask you a question.

In terms of the forced kiss,

are you sure you didn't get the wrong meaning?

It depends on the look of that person.

Well, that guy

is quite handsome.

Did Dr. Ling do the same thing to you?

You and Dr. Ling, are you back together?

You reconciled with him?

Yes, we are back together now.

But is this a happy ending?

What happened to you guys?

Your problem seems more complicated than mine.

Here's the thing.

He's very gentle sometimes.

He's very thoughtful.

But sometimes,

he's very distant and bossy.

In short, he's not quite the same

as he used to be.

When he was with me,

he said we were meant for each other.

What does that mean?

Meant for each other?

Does he mean

we are meant for each other

because I gave birth to his son?

Or did he just say it casually?

Does Ling Rui want to

take revenge on me, or punish me?

If Dr. Ling did hate you,

it would be understandable.

After all, you were cruel enough

not to tell him anything six years ago.

Yes, I got it.

A jerk should always be nailed to

the pillar of shame.

A jerk like me must suffer the same fate.

But what could I do?

At that time,

I was young, impulsive, and carefree.

Besides,

he didn't tell me

he wouldn't leave for Germany.

Are you saying Dr. Ling refused

to go to Germany

six years ago because of you?

At that time,

I was informed of his decision.

Going to Germany for further study

was very important

for him.

It was his dream.

After I found out,

it bothered me

so greatly.

Poor thing.

It's okay.

Even Dr. Ling was a jerk.

So, in that case,

the husbands on my computer

never give me any worries.

Even if there were some tricks,

I'd be the mastermind.

And they are also…

Where is my laptop?

Where is my laptop?

Lu Yiyao.

Actually, I don't know either.

You don't know?

Come on.

How are you guys doing now?

We're back together.

Back together?

You just let her off so easily.

I had thought about

taking a stance.

I wanted her to realize she was wrong.

But on second thought,

it didn't matter.

Anyway, she has her way

of keeping me soft.

So, I admitted my defeat.

Can you please

not make me laugh again?

It's not about winning the argument.

I want to admit my defeat too.

But no one

gives me a chance.

It's okay.

You two have a happy ending.

That's good.

But am I

doing the right thing?

What did you do wrong?

I didn't even give her

a chance to say no.

I haven't told her

I was still in love with her.

I was afraid

she would

reject me.

So I made her stay

by any means necessary.

I was scared she might

secretly disappear from my life again.

However,

every time when I see her

act with cautions while I'm around,

I can't help but be angry again.

I'm angry at her,

and at myself.

So,

you asked the wrong person.

Come on, let's go.

Where are we going?

We haven't finished the beer yet.

Not yet.

You've had enough.

You can't drink anymore.

We can still order.

Boss, more beer.

Don't listen to him.

Stop drinking. You can't drink anymore.

You're drunk. Let's go home.

I can have more!

I'm telling you,

I sleep with others whenever I get drunk.

I need to overcome this bad habit.

I said,

I didn't want to go to bed.

You can't sleep here.

Let's go. Go home.

Have you paid for the bill?

Yes, I have.

Won't you consider getting it back

once Simon is home?

I've told you everything

[1806]

that had happened between us.

I really don't want to

meet him again.

I'll leave once I've got it.

It won't take long.

My baby.

All right, be quick.

Okay. That's all.

Let's go, Ms. Lu.

Are you okay?

-Fangning. -Ling Rui.

-You... -You...

Why are you at my house?

Why can't I be here?

I came to get my computer,

my moneymaker,

my treasure.

Here is the person you love.

Not there.

Hands off.

Do you deserve this title?

Of course you don't.

Jerk.

Jerk?

Why do you keep dwelling on the past?

I'm not as petty and narrow-minded

as you are.

You would starve if you lived in your fantasy.

Sure.

I can survive.

Women are unreasonable.

It's because

no man is good in real life.

Say it again.

I'll say it again if you want to hear it.

Every man

is a jerk!

You just

scolded Ling Rui too.

Wonderful!

Did I scold you?

Even if I did, so what?

I'm not wrong.

He is always so unpredictable.

Our Ms. Lu,

a cool and brave woman,

is living under his torment!

I'm not. I'm fine.

Stop using Ling Rui

as an excuse.

What about her?

She left without a word six years ago.

She even kept the son

she had given birth to a secret.

What's wrong with him being upset?

I'm fine too.

What's so great about Dr. Ling?

He didn't say anything and

refused to go to

Germany?

He took action before informing.

What's the difference between that

and what Ms. Lu has done?

Didn't he know

it would be a huge burden in her heart

once she knew about it?

Ling Rui had stayed with Fangning

when she had a hard time.

What he did was for her good.

That was your wishful thinking.

No one asked him to do so.

Ms. Lu donated so much money

to that institute.

Because she didn't want Dr. Ling

to sacrifice everything for her.

She did it for his good!

Women are just as terrible

with their wishful thinking.

Okay, let's not talk about the past.

Let's talk about the present.

We talk about it every day.

It's always the same thing.

It's always an apology.

What's the point of apologizing?

Why didn't she ask

Ling Rui whether

he still felt the same for her?

She was jealous,

then she pushed him away.

She is paranoid and hesitant.

Ling Rui was worried

she would leave, then he feared

she would be

reluctant to stay.

Why couldn't she

make things more subtle?

I...

As expected, only men understand men.

You don't understand women's

sensitive and fragile hearts at all.

Our Ms. Lu did this

because she didn't want Dr. Ling

to stay with her unwillingly

for the sake of the kid

and affect his life! Fool!

Fine. Fine.

I'll argue about

these trivial matters.

If you said so,

why not just make it clear?

Ling Rui just wants to hear one thing.

Why doesn't he say it first?

Ms. Lu also wants to hear

those three words?

Enough.

That's enough.

[Is Ms. Lu going to end my life?]

Cai Siyu.

If you have something to say, say it to my face.

I told her to say

what she said earlier.

We've made everything clear just now.

You two should have a good chat.

Sim...

Simon.

Would you like some coffee?

Would you like some water?

-I don't want any. -I'm not thirsty either.

-Sit down. -We should sit down first.

Take a seat.

-This isn't our home. -This isn't our home.

Slow down. Slow down.

You almost gave me a heart attack.

It was horrible.

Well,

thank you.

You're welcome.

I was glad to help.

Just now I...

Well,

these are different matters.

I know.

Okay, then I'll send you home.

[What should I do?] [Should I let him send me home?]

[Will I fall into his trap again?]

I planned it all.

Don't blame her.

It's okay.

Go upstairs.

Where to?

Simon,

this is your home.

My home.

Okay, then I'll send her home first.

Never mind.

I'll go back by myself.

You are drunk, so you can't drive.

Well, let's go home and rest well.

Good night, bye.

Good night.

Well,

we should

go home.

It seems like

there's something

we haven't finished.

We should pick Youyou up!

Yeah. We should pick him up. Let's go!

[We talk about it every day.]

[It's always the same thing.]

[It's always an apology.]

[What's the point of apologizing?]

Why didn't she ask

Ling Rui whether

he still felt the same

for her?

She was jealous,

then she pushed him away.

She is paranoid and hesitant.

[Why couldn't she]

[make things more subtle?]

Did I cause the misunderstanding?

It's impossible.

It's rare for me to

be so considerate and willing

to sacrifice my own interests.

Mom,

when you're done,

can you help me to brush mine?

Thank you.

Mom,

your teeth.

[Since we said so,]

[let's make it clear.]

[Ling Rui just wants to hear one thing.]

What does he want to hear from me?

They should have made it clear.

They almost got to the point,

why did I tell them to shut up?

Unbelievable.

[Fangning hasn't made her stance.]

[So this is what she was concerned about.]

[Now that I think about it,]

[what I did was a little inconsiderate.]

[I was wrong six years ago.]

[I'm still wrong even now.]

Dad,

help me brush my teeth.

Dad,

are you also ignoring me?

[I'm a man.]

[In any case,]

[I need to apologize first.]

I'm sorry.

It's okay, Dad.

I won't blame you.

It seems like

I need to find a good time.

I'm...

I'm making the bed. I'm done.

One for each of us.

Yeah.

Well.

Fangning.

Actually,

just one.

What?

One...one blanket is enough.

What do you mean?

One blanket is enough.

What? What do you mean

one blanket is enough?

Why?

Why for what?

Why is one blanket enough?

Because...

It's cold.

-It's not cold. It's warm. -It's not cold.

I think

it's getting a little warm.

Well,

then I...

I will take this blanket away.

Okay.

Let's go to bed.

Okay.

It's weird.

Mom and dad aren't acting normally.

One brushed her teeth repeatedly.

One cleaned the house repeatedly.

Life is tough for me.

[Is this the right time?]

[What is it]

[that he wants to hear?]

Ling Rui,

you're still awake?

How about you?

Are you tired after the long day?

I am...

Youyou.

Youyou.

Mom, Dad,

you've been bonding for several days.

I also want to join you

for the bonding.

-Okay. -Come on.

Come.

Come.

Come.

Come on.

Okay, now sleep tight.

Okay, let's sleep.

Come on.

Breakfast is ready.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

-Good morning, mom and dad. -Good morning.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

What a great breakfast today!

Try it out.

I like it very much.

Youyou,

after breakfast,

we'll clean the dishes

and go to

Grandma's house, okay?

Okay.

Fangning,

how about

having lunch together later?

I need to have a word with you.

I also have something to tell you.

Hello?

Okay, okay, I'll be there at once.

Youyou,

have an onion ring.

What's wrong?

Mr. Cao called me.

He wanted to see me and it sounded urgent.

Maybe it's

about moving in.

Things should be fine.

I'll get prepared.

By the way,

I ran into Gao Erfan

in the park yesterday.

I think he knows

you've returned to open a store.

I'll be careful.

I must get going.

Finish your breakfast.

I'm going to change my clothes.

[Shenzhen Huiren Hospital]

When we're free later,

I'll run this

by you again.

Okay.

Don't worry about the rest.

Back to your work.

Hello, Miss Pingping?

Hello?

Let's meet up.

I want you to meet someone.

A man.

He is important

to both you

and me.

A man?

An important person that I must meet?

Miss Pingping,

are you in love?

As your big fan,

for the sake of your acting career,

I will definitely make the final check.

No problem.

She is introducing her boyfriend

to her boyfriend?

Then why does she think of me?

Hello.

Go ask Lu Fangning instead.

Do you want to

tell Lu Fangning about us?

I've badmouthed her

the other day.

Is she going to

rat me out?

Okay.

I'll be there.

Great.

A boyfriend check.

A boyfriend check.

My two boyfriends.
