"Blue Lips"

(Episode 16)

When he was eating tonight,

he was so moved.

What a poor kid.

You change your tune faster than flipping a page.

Who was it that heard

I wanted to bring a boy home

and cried all night?

Now you're taking his side.

Your dad and I have thought it through.

Before, we made you go on blind dates

and pushed you to get married.

It was just because we thought

after we're gone,

you'd be left all alone,

lonely,

without even someone to talk to.

Even though I still feel

it's a bit of a pity we won't have grandchildren,

but

no matter what,

at least you have a companion.

Look at Xiao Wu.

He's young and handsome,

does well in his studies,

is polite, and values relationships.

How did he end up falling for you?

Ms. Hu,

whose biological mother are you?

From now on,

as long as the two of you

can live a good life together,

your dad and I

can rest in peace.

Don't say that.

We're all doing great.

I have the best mom in the whole world.

You silly kid. Get up, get up.

Hurry up and get ready.

He's still waiting outside.

Xiao Lee,

what brings you here?

My daughter is getting married.

Here,

I brought you some wedding candies.

Congratulations! Come on in.

Okay.

Have a seat.

This is

Auntie Lee, who set me up on a blind date.

You have a guest.

He's quite handsome.

Hello, Auntie.

I heard Teng Mo

brought his partner back this time.

Is his partner not here?

Xiao Lee,

Mo-mo's partner

isn't an animal in a zoo.

You can't just gawk at him whenever you want.

Listen to you.

Right, speaking of partners,

Dr. Tang, who I introduced to a friend last time,

I heard she recently got engaged too.

They even went abroad to do the paperwork.

Thinking about it now,

she and Teng Mo were quite a good match.

The timing of them finding partners

was right around the same time.

It's a pity they didn't end up together.

I guess it just wasn't meant to be.

Right.

Xiao Teng,

when are you going to introduce your partner

to me?

I want to see who this incredible person is

that managed to snatch away

such an outstanding young man of ours.

Well,

about that...

Look at this.

The ones I bought this time don't seem very good.

What is it?

Bloodworms.

His fish bait.

I still have things to do.

I'll get going now.

Alright. Let's chat next time.

Leaving so soon?

Stay a bit longer.

Take care.

Dr. Tang?

Who is that?

Dr. Tang, well,

hey, Mo-mo,

you should

take Xiao Wu out for a walk.

Fengzhou has a lot of fun places.

Go out and get something to eat and drink.

Yes, yes, yes. Don't just stay cooped up at home.

Go on. Let's go.

So, this Dr. Tang

is kind of our matchmaker.

You could say that.

If it weren't for her,

maybe we would have missed each other.

I'm really curious.

What did she say to you?

She said,

if she guessed correctly,

my sweetheart must be in a very difficult situation right now.

Those words

were like a seed

taking root and sprouting in my heart.

I couldn't help but imagine

what you were going through in Jinyang.

Even the slightest bit of hardship,

I couldn't bear it.

Now I really want to meet her.

You

couldn't figure it out for a whole month,

but she understood after just a few words with you.

Yeah.

I'd also really like to meet her partner.

You're curious?

We're friends.

I just want to meet them.

She was curious about you,

so naturally,

I'm curious about her.

So,

what did you tell her about me?

I said

you are a pure person

who easily gets hurt.

Let me tell you,

I had it really rough when I was in school.

My mom was a teacher at the school,

and my homeroom teacher.

She kept an eye on me every day.

I couldn't hide anything from her.

She always called on me in class.

It was like being in prison.

Doesn't that mean any love letters you received

would get confiscated?

Exactly!

Actually, there weren't that many.

Back when I was in school,

I wasn't that popular.

No way.

I saw your photos from back then.

You were tall and slim, and good at basketball.

Who wouldn't like you?

That's all in the past.

Come on, tell me.

How many girlfriends did you have in school?

Don't tell me you never dated anyone.

I can't remember clearly.

If you ask me,

you had so many you lost count.

What?

Are you jealous?

A little bit.

They probably don't even remember me.

They might even be married by now.

You still haven't answered my question.

Just one.

And then?

There is no "and then."

We broke up and went to college.

We went our separate ways.

That sounds so casual.

I take relationships very seriously, okay?

What are you doing?

Shixian,

the way I feel about you

is something I've never felt before.

It has nothing to do with gender.

The one I love

is simply you.

I am completely

devoted to you.

You have to believe me.

Isn't this a bit hasty?

I thought a proposal

should have some sort of ceremony.

I'll go buy a bouquet of flowers.

No need.

I was just kidding with you.

I think

this one and the woven grass one

are equally beautiful.

Put it on me.

Shixian.

I'm truly in love with you.

The very first time you came to the shop for medicine,

I just knew.

Are you...

sure you won't regret this?

Missing out on you

is what I'd regret.

Here.

Your favorite ice cream.

You know what, Shixian?

When we first got together,

you were just like ice cream.

Freezing cold,

prickly all over,

and keeping everyone at a distance.

Then why did you mess with me?

And now?

Burning hot.

Want a bite?

Is it sweet?

Shixian.

Don't be like this.

You've gotten so bad.

I had a good teacher.

Shixian.

Stop messing around.

Being so forward...

Don't you like it?

I love it to death.

Does it hurt?

Cut the crap.

Teng Mo.

Teng Mo.

I'm here. Teng Mo.

I'm here.

Sis.

If only you could come with us

to Fengzhou.

They would definitely love it.

By the way,

you mentioned before

that you had two things to tell me.

One was visiting my parents.

What's the other?

Come on.

I'll take you somewhere.

With this voluntary guardianship agreement from the notary,

if anything ever happens to me,

you can sign on my behalf.

Don't jinx it.

Hold this.

Let's go.

Welcome.

Welcome. Brother Hao.

Business is booming.

It's alright.

Just making a living.

Making a living?

What I do is barely scraping by.

What do you want to drink?

It's on me.

I'll have an Americano.

And for my brother,

a black tea.

Sure.

This one is good too.

This is for table nine.

I got it.

You do your thing.

Here you go.

Your coffee.

Thanks.

Company CEO exposed

for molesting multiple minors.

This kind of thing happens in Jinyang?

Let me see.

[Multiple reports of Jinyang Company's Qi Siming molesting underage students]

That's disgusting.

What a monster in human skin.

Who's the victim that sent the letter?

I don't know. They didn't show it.

So that's what it's about.

How can people like this exist? I know, right?

[Qi Siming charged with accepting and giving bribes]

[Many missed calls from last name Qi]

Something on your mind?

No.

Liar.

We agreed

no secrets between us.

Shixian.

Guan Zhenghao came to me today

and told me to be careful.

Someone is looking into my past from five years ago.

Gu Duoer's case?

Yeah.

The day your sister passed away,

people from the Bojin Law Firm found me.

They said they were also investigating this.

If they could find me,

it means the killer can too.

I'm terrified.

I don't know who to trust.

What are you afraid of?

Before, it was my parents.

Now, I have you.

I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you.

Forget it.

I...

I'll just pretend I never got that call.

I know

you've always held onto your ideals.

And you've always

been investigating this case.

It's okay.

No matter what you decide,

I'll be right by your side.

Remember what Uncle said?

We will always have your back.

From now on,

do whatever you want to do.

Don't worry so much.

We

are your strong support.

We won't be a burden to you.

Family

will always fight alongside you.

I'm so lucky

to have you all.

Hello?

Mr. Qi.

I'm willing to cooperate.

Do you think your parents will accept me?

Didn't you see

how many times my mom served you food?

Or how many times my dad praised you?

It's just...

I never thought this day would come.

What day?

The day I'd have a family.

Shixian.

From now on,

my parents are your parents.

My home

is your home.
