[Episode 17]

Where am I?

Didn't I get shot?

Qingyu?

Susu...

Where's Susu?

Is this my dream?

Susu!

Susu.

Who are you calling?

No one.

Fang Mulan

is Ren Susu.

I already know that.

You knew who she really was all along.

Why didn't you tell me?

She got you thrown into prison,

where your hand was ruined,

and you nearly lost your life.

Yet you actually threatened to take your own life

just to force my hand, all for her sake.

Murong Qingyi, are you crazy?

She has a blood feud with the Huo family.

Now both the Huos and the police are hunting her.

This is one matter

our Murong family

will not get involved in.

The Murong family

has nothing to do with me.

Do you even know how much blood you've lost?

How many lives do you think you can afford to throw away?

I'm a doctor.

I know exactly how bad

my injuries are.

Look at yourself.

I've already locked up Laiyi

and disbanded the people you rallied

after you got out of prison.

Now you're on your own.

What do you have left to help her with?

You want to die with her?

Gladly.

Call the nurse.

Yes, sir.

Focus on recovering first.

After that, I'll send you overseas.

Heal your injuries,

then continue your studies.

From this day forward,

forget about Ren Susu.

And don't even think about

having anything to do with her again.

Do you understand?

[Special Care Unit]

After the nurse changes his dressing,

lock the door.

No one may enter

except doctors and nurses.

Keep a close watch on him.

Understood.

The police

[Special Care Unit]

have already issued an arrest warrant for Miss Fang.

The Huo family is also searching the whole city for her.

And the matter I asked you to investigate?

After the explosion at the aviation school's opening ceremony,

I cross-checked the personnel list

and did find a suspicious individual.

[Special Care Unit]

A foreigner?

That's right.

Her name is Tasia,

a doctor in the concession.

We've found

[Runs a clinic here called Tasia Clinic.]

that she and several other young women

often gather at this bookstore,

teahouse,

and church.

Miss Fang's movements during this period

overlap with these locations.

Looks like I've found

her weakness.

Round them

all up within one day.

I said, within one day.

[Special Care Unit]

Understood.

As for Qingyi's weakness,

let me

get rid of it for him.

This is the woman. Take her away.

[Taisheng Bookstore]

Search carefully!

The principal gave the order—

don't let a single one escape!

[Escaped]

Susu.

Take some more fever medicine.

Here.

How are things outside?

What about Qingyi?

With his brother around,

he'll naturally be fine.

But...

What's wrong?

Jinwei, Yinwei, and Tasia

have all been taken by Murong Qingyu's men.

How could this happen?

So Murong Qingyu has been

investigating the aviation school bombing all along.

What's he trying to do?

He's trying to force me to turn myself in.

No.

Huo Zongqi's death

was clearly a frame-up.

If you show yourself now,

you won't have any chance to defend yourself.

The Huos will simply have you killed.

How are things

with the Huo family's arms supply?

There have indeed been some problems

with the Huo family's arms shipments.

But it'll take time

before it affects the war and causes the Huos

to fall out of favor with the higher-ups.

And...

And the people in Nanyang...

Still no news?

I've sent many telegrams,

but the Fang family hasn't replied.

Knowing Murong Qingyu,

he won't humiliate or hurt Tasia and the others.

What should we do now?

Since he wants me to turn myself in...

No!

If you turn yourself in,

the Huos can kill you right there at the police station.

-Murong Qingyi's hand is proof enough. -But if they're all gone—

if they all end up like Xiaolan—

what have all these years of painstaking effort been for?

And what's the point...

of me staying alive?

All this time,

you've been the one making plans,

making the tough calls,

and taking on the most dangerous work yourself

to protect us.

You've forgotten—and so have I—

that you're actually the youngest among us.

I promised Xiaolan

that I'd take good care of you.

I also promised Uncle Fang

I'd get justice for Xiaolan.

And I promised all of you

I'd make the Huos pay for what they'd done.

I'll make good on every promise I've made.

It's still raining.

Remember to take an umbrella.

It's time to change the dressing.

Young Master Qingyi,

you're going to owe me

a big favor for this.

"The isolated house

up behind Xiangshui Ravine."

Murong Qingyi, slow down!

You're here.

Why did you ask me to come here?

I'm here to give you a choice.

You have a plan?

Turn me in.

Tell them that I killed

Huo Zongqi.

You've really lost your mind.

I've heard you say that

so many times.

I'm sick of it.

What does this have to do with you?

This has nothing to do with you either.

Huo Zongqi deserved to die.

No matter who killed him,

what they really want

is for you to die with him

and the Huo family.

Then why would you take the blame for me?

Would the Huo family even believe it?

Would they just let it go?

I don't need them to let it go.

All I want to fight for

is your innocence.

As long as our statements match—

that I killed Huo Zongqi—

Li Boze will lift the warrant against you.

My brother

will also release those girls.

And all you have to do

is wait it out openly,

with nothing to hide.

What about you?

I have my brother.

He'll keep me safe.

What are your chances?

About 50%.

If he can't,

it will be just like 3 years ago.

You will be sent to prison,

and everything the Huo family did to you

will happen again.

So what?

At worst, they'll ruin my right hand too.

Aren't you the Ren Susu who dares to act

even with only a 10% chance?

What?

Now that it's a 50% chance,

you're scared?

Besides,

it's my life at stake,

not yours

or your sisters'.

What?

Afraid you'll never see me again?

You're wagering your life for us.

How generous.

Still no match for you—

always willing to gamble with your life.

What's your condition?

Stay here with me

for one day.

One day?

Is one day too much to ask?

Ren Susu,

you can't even spare me one day?

I agree.

I've moved everything from the cabin

in Beicheng to here.

This painting

is the one you never got to finish.

I thought

if you ever came back...

you might want to finish it.

How is it? Is it done?

It's not finished yet.

Let me take a look first.

No.

I'll show you when it's done.

What are you doing?

Which one is me?

I'm not done yet.

Let me take a look first.

No.

No, no.

Give it to me.

That's me.

Give it back to me.

No.

Give it to me.

Let me see.

Give it to me.

Let me see what you're painting.

Come back.

No, no.

If you couldn't see it,

you'd probably be upset.

But back then,

you clearly thought I was dead.

Yeah.

But...

what if?

How about...

you finish it now?

I'll go make dinner.

Since when do you know how to cook?

Just wait and see.

Dinner's ready.

It looks pretty decent.

Of course.

Braised pork?

Try it.

You taught me how to make it. Did you forget?

Cut the pork belly into cubes.

Heat oil in the pan,

add the pork belly, and stir-fry it until browned.

Then simmer it on low heat for an hour.

My mom's secret recipe

is to add 10 dried plums.

The sweet-and-sour flavor can cut through the richness.

Give it a try.

You added the plums?

The plums' flavor isn't quite authentic.

Just tell me if it's good or not.

It's okay.

There's room for improvement next time.

There's a next time?

I finished the painting.

Wanna see it?

Sure.

Can you give me just one second?

Just love me for one second.

This is for me?

You're not sitting down?

I'm fine standing.

I'm just a bit cold.

Why don't you get another blanket?

Whenever I came here before,

I always used this one.

I'm used to it.

Then I'll go get one.

Don't move.

I'm doing something important here.

What important thing?

Stargazing.

Then what did you see?

Look at that one.

Is that the North Star?

That's Dubhe.

The one above it

is the North Star.

It really is pretty chilly out.

You used to...

love smiling like that.

Have I changed a lot

compared to 3 years ago?

People change.

I only changed

because you left.

That time we had 3 years ago

was quite short, wasn't it?

You mean,

I should've forgotten you since we'd

been together for only 3 months,

right?

Ren Susu,

who taught you

to measure the depth of love

by the amount of time people spend together?

Why haven't you

moved on all these years?

Isn't that just human nature?

The less you have,

the more afraid you are of losing it.

The moment I lost you

3 years ago,

I had nothing left.

Being alive means

having to lose things along the way.

But I've stayed alive

in order to find you.

Qingyi.

You should've hated me.

Yes.

I really should've hated you.

You were the one who taught me

that when the best things in life

fall into your hands without warning,

they're usually not a blessing

but a curse.

But if one day

I truly come to hate you...

it'll be a long, long time from now.

Because the day

I stop loving you...

the only thing that'll keep me alive

is hatred.

So

I really wish

time could stop at this second.

Qingyi.

You're awake.

I'm almost finished cleaning up.

And I've prepared breakfast for you.

If it gets cold,

just heat it up before you eat.

You're leaving?

Didn't we agree?

Just one day.

But we still have one dance we never finished.

Remember what I taught you 3 years ago?

Back then, the tango was all the rage in Beicheng.

The foxtrot is tender and romantic,

while the tango is a head-on confrontation.

The tango is a battle,

a contest of wills.

It looks like each step is pressing the other back,

but in truth, the two dancers are hopelessly entangled.

It restrains passion with rules,

only to break those rules through passion.

The man and the woman dance

as though they're determined to fight to the death

on the battlefield of love.

You've always had

such unusual tastes.

I'm unusual?

You are.

Just like that movie,

"Autumn in the South."

You found it boring and left early.

But I thought

it was gripping

and pretty good.

So you're questioning my taste now?

You were clearly having plenty of fun learning that dance.

By the way, those roasted sweet potatoes you gave me as thanks

were completely tasteless.

Your driving skills are really terrible.

Your painting skills are just average.

You look so childish when you argue.

You were the one who started it.

You're so mean with your words that no one can stand you.

But you seemed to enjoy kissing me.

I was only pretending.

Ren Susu,

even now, you still want to beat me one more time?
